An Investigation into Customers' Requirements for Electronic Banking: A Case Study of Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) in Keny
(2017)There is a general consensus that governments, businesses and all individuals need to harness the power of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and ICT enabled services for wider access and improved welfare ... -
An interoperability framework for systems in Kenya
(2012)This paper presents a platform level interoperability framework for mobile money transfer systems in Kenya. The proposed interoperability framework is aimed at exploiting the potential of mobile money transfer across ... -
ALGEBRAIC APPROACH TO COMPOSITE INTEGER FACTORIZATION
(2013)There various algorithms that can factor large integers but very few of these algorithms run in polynomial time. This fact makes them inefficient. The apparent difficulty of factoring large integers is the basis of some ... -
Advances in composite integer factorization
(2013)In this research we propose a new method of integer factorization. Prime numbers are the building blocks of arithmetic. At the moment there are no efficient methods (algorithms) known that will determine whether a given ... -
A Review of Agile Software Effort Estimation Methods
(2016)Software cost estimation is an essential aspect of software project management and therefore the success or failure of a software project depends on accuracy in estimating effort, time and cost. Software cost estimation ... -
A Review of Agent Based Interoperability Frameworks and Interoperability Assessment Models
(2014)In a heterogeneous world, concurrent distributed development has led to many types of multi-agent systems that offer diverse functionality in agents as different types of platforms are not in a position to interoperate. ... -
A Probabilistic Data Encryption scheme (PDES)
(2013)In this paper the author presents a probabilistic encryption scheme that is polynomially secure and has the efficiency of deterministic schemes. From the theoretical construction of Brands and Gill (1996), it is clear ... -
A Framework for E-Learning Implementation in Developing Countries: A Students' Perspective
(2012)Institutions of higher learning in developing countries have lagged behind those in the developed world in e-learning (eL) adoption, mainly due to cost and poor Internet infrastructure. Introduction of eL in such institutions ... -
The performance of Husani dairy goats under water restriction in the arid western lowlands, Eritrea
(Bulletin of Animal Health and Production in Africa, 1999)Eighteen adult Husani female goats of approximately equal age and body weight, and in their late pregnancy were purchased from Eritrean western lowlands. They were randomly assigned to three watering regimes (treatments): ... -
The perfect drought? Constraints limiting Kalahari agro-pastoral communities from coping and adapting
(African Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, 2011)Rural Kalahari agro-pastoral communities of Southern Africa have been exposed to drought shocks throughout history and have adapted their livelihoods accordingly. Yet, drought continues to disrupt or threaten to disrupt ... -
A Review of African Pastoral Production Systems: Approaches to Their Understanding and Development
(2002)Pastoralism is a system that has been in existence for a long time. Scholars have come up with a cornucopia of definitions related to what entails this centuries old art. Many of these scholars agree, though, that ... -
THE EFFECTS OF MARKET INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS ON SALES REVENUE AMONG FRENCH BEAN PRODUCERS: A CASE STUDY OF OL-DONYO SABUK, MACHAKOS COUNTY, KENYA
(2016)Businesses operate in a world in which information is more readily and publicly available than ever before. Thanks to the development of the Internet, information on market trends, legislation, customers, suppliers, ... -
Magnetic Concentration of Iron in Lateritic Soils from Kamahuha, Murang’a County, in Kenya using Carbon Monoxide Generated In-Situ
(2014)Chemical and Mineral Analyses of laterites from selected sites in Kamahuha area of Murang’a County, in the Republic of Kenya, have been carried out with particular interest in the levels of iron and the type of minerals ... -
Beneficiation of Iron in Thermal-Reduced Ilmenite by Magnetic Separation
(2013)Increasing demands for Iron in countries development, and lack of conventional reducing agents has resulted into sourcing of alternative ways of beneficiating the iron ore. This paper reports on the study that was done to ... -
IJSET@2014 Page 707 Effects of Temperature on Ilmenite During Concentration of Iron in Laterites Using Charcoal and Separation using Magnetic Separation
(2014)Effect of temperature on ilmenite minerals found in laterites has been investigated. It was found that during reduction of iron minerals in laterites to magnetite using charcoal at temperatures of about 500-700oC, ilmenite ... -
Isolation and Identification of Bacteriocin-Producing Bacillus spp from Rastrineobola argentea (Omena) with Activity against Bovine Mastitis Bacterial Pathogens
(2015)Bacteriocins offer an advantage over antibiotics in that they target very specific organisms and they are generally regarded as safe for humans. The aim of this study wasto isolate and identify bacteriocin-producing Bacillus ... -
