ABSTRACT Kenya has prominent geographical features such as the Rift valley which gives rise to geothermal reservoirs which can be exploited to produce geothermal energy for power generation and heating; Lake Magadi, Suswa, Eburu, Menengai, Lake Bogoria as well as other areas are considered to have potential for power geothermal energy because of the geothermal manifestations. For above mentioned regions it is known that positive gravity anomalies within the Rift valley proper are superposed ...
ABSTRACT This thesis reports the results of a study aimed at optimizing pozzolanic activity of a blend of Rice Husks (RH), Spent Bleaching Earth (SBE) and Broken Bricks (BB) to form pozzolana that would have pozzolanic activity comparable to natural pozzolanas. Four ratios of RH, BB, and SBE were burnt in the Fixed Bed Kiln (FBK). The starting ratio had 20 kg of RH, 0 kg of BB and 4 kg of SBE. The amount of BB was increased by 2 kg each to a maximum of 6 kg as the mass of SBE was kept consta...
ABSTRACT This study was conducted to establish and document the implications of developing a computerized Loan Management System for the Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations in Tanzania, by taking the case of the Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs Savings and Credit Cooperative Organization. The study particularly sought to improve the availability of information and other services offered by the MoFEA SACCO to be much quicker, reliable and cost-effective following the limitatio...
ABSTRACT Integration of robotic arms into working tasks has currently increased magnificently in performing the very repetitive, dangerous or difficult tasks. Typically, a robotic arm is a mechanical arm that is programmable to mimic the behavior of a human arm in terms of how it functions. Computers and microcontrollers have widely been used in the control of robotic arms with the help of sensors, levers, buttons, wireless devices, just to mention but a few. More advanced technology has lat...
ABSTRACT The study particularly establishes an electronic centralized distributed system to monitor and evaluate the activities of all brewery industries in Uganda. Due to the massive loss of lives of alcoholics in Uganda in 2010, the researcher saw that there was need for the ministry to come up with a more flexible and yet sustainable system to monitor activities of all brewery industries in the country. Over 87% of the respondents from the UNBS and the brewery industries agreed that the ol...

ABSTRACT Due to industrialization and increase in population, there is need for clean, green and renewable source of electrical energy. Traditional sources of electrical energy like fossil fuels are getting depleted, on the other hand silicon based solar cells are expensive hence the need for low cost and reliable alternative source of energy. Photovoltaic is a reliable energy source which is renewable. Photovoltaic is a process of conversion of solar energy to electricity directly using sol...
ABSTRACT Information is a very important aspect in our day-to-day activities to ensure effective communication. As result of this, Information Communication Technology plays a great role to guarantee efficient and effective communication within and among different institutions and organizations. In response to this, each organization/institution strives to make sure that there is a secure means of disseminating, storing and retrieving of information within their boundaries. This calls for an ...
ABSTRACT There have been various efforts by the government of Uganda to improve on the level of ICr use and economic welfare.

Its for this reason that the main aim of this study was to determine the use of ICT and Economic welfare in Uganda and the other objective was to establish a relationship between ICT use and Economic Welfare. A cross sectional survey that involved the use of...
ABSTRACT The research focused on the challenges of developing computerized information systems in schools. The research study involved visiting Oxford Moslem School Oxford Moslem School uses manual file based system for managing data, they face problems like data redundancy and inconsistency where by some information are duplicated in several files. The file based system does not allow required data to be retrieved in a convenient and efficient manner thus difficult in accessing data. The obj...
ABSTRACT Water is the most critical resource in the Samburu District of Northern Kenya. The region has one permanent river, the Uaso Ng’iro. Use pressure by man, domestic and wild animals is high in all water sources, which include dams, laggas, and dry river bed wells. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the bacteriological and physicchemical quality of water from these sources, so as to shed some light on the causes of perpetual diarrheal diseases and their likely resp...
ABSTRACT For over 18 years, there has been an increased use of genetically modified foods for both human and livestock and for this reason, there has been a large number of scientific feeding studies carried out to try to find out how safe the GM foods are. The evidence, however, is still far from proving whether long-term consumption of genetically modified foods possess negative effects for human or animal health. This present study was carried out to analyze the safety of Bacillus thurien...
