ABSTRACT Binary liquid alloys have found wide applications in electronics, communications, automotive and aerospace technologies. The development of new alloys and improvement of existing ones require accurate knowledge of thermodynamic variables of the constituent systems which may not be obtainable experimentally. Hence, there is always the need for theoretical investigation to complement experiment. This study was aimed at theoretical determination of the thermodynamic properties of nine ...
Abstract Drought has significant impacts in climate sensitive sectors in ASAL areas of Kenya. Despite the existence of drought early recovery strategies, Turkana central suffers from extreme drought conditions with negative implications on livelihood security. This study sought to examine the drought early recovery strategies influencing Sustainable livelihood options among households in Turkana Central Sub County. The study was guided by three specific objectives including to: determine the...
Abstract Farming is undergoing a digital revolution. Farmers are gathering information passively collected by precision agricultural equipment and manually and many farmers are using information from large datasets and precision analytics to make on-farm decisions. Big data includes extremely large data sets that may be analysed computationally to reveal patterns, trends, and associations, especially relating to human behaviour and interactions. The use of large information sets and the digit...
ABSTRACT This report brings to the fore, The Renewable Energy Sources presently accessible to the human species, and the feasibility of harnessing these energy sources in Nigeria. Since the dawn of the 21st Century, Global Warming, Carbon Emission Reductions and Renewable Energy Sources have all been major topics of discussion, permeating into the facets of every socio-economic and political forum such as, Davos Economic Forum, G7 and G20 Conventions, and has spawned specific platforms for di...
ABSTRACT The study examined the relationship between Accounting information system and financial performance in Banque Populaire de Rwanda and it was based on six specific objectives: (a) to determine respondents’ profile in terms of gender, age, level of educational, position and experience; (b) level of accounting information system; (c) level of financial performance; and (d)to determine if there is a significant difference in the level of AIS in terms of accounting information and finan...
ABSTRACT Contract farming in sunflower as a vertically integrated mode of production and marketing is one of the most important transformations in the agriculture sector in Tanzania. Despite the introduction of CF in sunflower, many challenges persisted. These include unfavourable prices or markets. The reasons or factors for persistence of challenges in sunflower CF was the uniqueness of smallholder sunflower farmers such that the conventional CF arrangement was not fully applicable to it. T...

Wireless networks are becoming part of everyday life. Wireless LANs, cell phone networks, and personal area networks are just a few examples of wireless networks widely used in our everyday lives. However, wireless devices are range and data rate limited. The research community has spent a great deal of effort on finding ways to overcome these limitations. One method is to use Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) links. The multiple antennas allow MIMO systems to perform precoding ...

Abstract In this project we designed a solar powered computer control system for electrical machines and spark ignition engines. It is made up of a hardware device that comprises of various electrical components which are powered by a 25W solar panel. The power cord of the machines are modified and connected to the hardware and the hardware is in turn connected to a laptop computer using a USB cord. The machines are controlled from the laptop computer using special software deve...
ABSTRACT The Muni-Pomadze wetland in the Central Region of Ghana is one of five internationally-recognised coastal wetlands (Ramsar sites) in Ghana under the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance. The wetland is known for its rich variety of biodiversity and unpolluted ecosystem and is fed by a main river called Pratu along with its tributaries (Ntakofa and Muni Rivers) that flows into the Muni lagoon. However, the need to produce enough food to feed the ever increasing populatio...
ABSTRACT Agriculture is a dominant sector of the Kenyan economy and contributes 25 percent of the GDP. Being the highest foreign exchange earner Growth is anticipated to propel the fulfillment of the 2030 vision. In line with the GoK initiatives various government agencies have initiated irrigation projects over the years, in particular small scale irrigation projects with great emphasis on sustainable development. So that food supply in the country is safe, the government has advocated for m...
Effective financial management is a comer stone to business growth and expansion of an organization. Most organizations which have competed well and expanded in the business exercise effective financial management. Therefore, if there is reluctance in the financial management, the institution growth is retarded and even may collapse given the current stiff competition in the business world. Post bank, Uganda seem to have all these qualities and if nothing is done it is increasing alarmin...
ABSTRACT This research work is concise and generally summarizes the activities duly carried out in the design and implementation of an automated inventory control system for a manufacturing organization. The system is designed to efficiently handle the movement and tracking of goods through the replacement of human workers by technology. The manual method or intervention is labour intensive, costly, and error prone and cannot ensure the inventory remains up-to-date due to oversight and intern...
