Email System for the visually impaired is a software system that aims to empower the blind and the visually impaired. It makes use of artificial cognitive intelligence to mimic human intelligence by converting user supplied voice message into text and then creating an email message to send to the de...
ABSTRACT Inflation is a period of an accelerated expansion of the universe. Cosmological perturbations are created by the amplification of quantum vacuum fluctuations of matter and metric perturbations during inflation. The equation of dynamics governing the evolution of cosmological perturbations within the cosmological model in a single field inflationary scenario takes the form of a standard non-linear second-order differential equation, whose exact analytical solution has not been obtaine...
Abstract A nonlinear Black-Scholes Partial Dierential Equation whose nonlinearity is as a result of transaction costs and a price slippage impact that lead to market illiquidity with feedback eects was studied. Most of the solutions obtained in option pricing especially using nonlinear equations are numerical which gives approximate option values. To get exact option values, analytic solutions for these equations have to be obtained. Analytic solutions to the nonlinear Black-Scholes Partial D...
ABSTRACT This research project examined the phenomenon of bankruptcy prediction from a developing economy perspective using the Altman Z-score models. These models rank among the bankruptcy models, whose main purpose is to detect the impending bankruptcy in good time. Drawing an empirical data from audited financial statements of firms listed in Nairobi Security Exchange in Kenya, the author tested Altman original Z-score (1968)and the Emerging Markets (1993) models using the dataset of the y...

ABSTRACT Rastrineobola argentea, (R. argentea) is a commercially important fish species in Lake Victoria, with a characteristically smaller size compared to the other fish and high surface moisture content. However the prevalent preservation method of the fish is open sun drying, in which the fish is laid uncovered on the ground for a prolonged period exposed to; contamination, attack by bacteria, molds, rodents, birds and adverse weather conditions. Often huge losses estimated at between 20 ...
ABSTRACT The purpose of this research was to come up with a solution for problems that were identified at Scorpion Safety Products. The main objectives of the system are to ensure that computer users at Scorpion Safety Products are equipped with the knowledge to fix problem they encounter on a day to day basis in the workplace. Users in various departments depended on an external subcontractor for every little problem faced and this resulted in the company having to fork over huge amounts of ...
ABSTRACT The purpose of the project entitled “Integrated Online Delta Beverages Acquisition system” was to help Delta Beverages in offering its clients an outstanding service and also paying attention to the health of the business and that of the clients. The system was also meant to offer unswerving, faster and efficient means to assist Delta clients in getting better assistance than what the current system has been offering. Henceforth, the system provided a booking facility such that t...
ABSTRACT Hospital is an essential welfare of society. It provides management of illnesses through treatment and prevention interventions by medical and health professionals. Due to growing population and rise in chronic diseases, there is an increased demand for health care services. This causes congestion and overcrowding in most hospitals. Hospital overcrowding is a major problem to patients, hospital administration and to the general health workers. Hospitals in many jurisdictions struggle...
ABSTRACT With the progressive decline of capture fisheries and human population upsurge worldwide, aquaculture is expected to play a great role in ensuring sufficient fish in the market. Thus, aquaculture is promoted by world food production agencies and governments, and has experienced significant growth. However, for African countries such as Kenya, aquaculture production is disproportionately lower than capture fisheries. Thus, there is urgent need to improve aquaculture production in thes...
ABSTRACT This project concentrates on developing the Save the Children Sponsorship Management system which was seen necessary after it was discovered that the command prompt system that was being used for sponsorship child records management had weaknesses. Poor communication through the use of multiple communication mediums led to difficulties in tracking the support tickets raised by users at Zimbabwe Power Company. The current system shows a lot of bureaucracy and old fashioned way of runn...
ABSTRACT The ultimate goal of this project was on developing an Internet of Things (IoT) based air pollution monitoring system. This document gives stage by stage procedures that the developer undertook in coming up with the system. The developer undertook an assessment and the results showed that air pollution has alarming effects. Its effects cause a lot of human diseases which include respiratory and heart conditions amongst other body threats. The objectives of this project are to monitor...
ABSTRACT Convulsion is a chronic neurological disorder that develops in up to 5% of the world’s population with prevalence of nearly 88% occurring in Sub-Saharan Africa, prompting serious medical, social, health related stigma and discrimination. Although a number of antiepileptic drugs (AED) are available for patients, most of the drugs have been associated with adverse side effects, dose-related neurotoxicity and teratogenic effects besides the AED therapy failures reported in approximate...
ABSTRACT The core aspect behind developing Electronic Energy Meter Management System (EEMMS) was a result of inefficiency of the manual system that was used at the organization. The main aim was to develop a computerized system that will curb the problems currently encountered by using the existing manual system by integratinginformationsystemsprocess. The instruments which were used to come up with the system include MySQL database, Adobe Dreamweaver CS6, SMTP email service and Apache server...
