The shift from compliance based supervision to risk based supervision of the defined contribution schemes in Kenya
(University of Narobi, 2014-11)Risk-based supervision of pension funds grew out of a project that was jointly conducted by the World Bank and the International Organization of Pension Supervisors (IOPS). The project was initiated in response to the ... -
Sign Language gesture recognition using machine learning on the Edge
(University of Nairobi, 2021)There are approximately over 360 million people globally living with a hearing disability; partially or completely deaf. In order to communicate, these people use sign language. Like any spoken language, sign language has ... -
The significance of pricing of a group life assurance product for a kenyan mass market setting
(University of Nairobi, 2016-08)Group life insurance uptake in Kenya is very minimal due to the fact that the available group life products are highly priced and hence not accessible by most indviduals.................................................. ... -
The significance of the geographic and geologic factors in the variation of groundwater chemistry in Kenya
(Department of Geology, University of Nairobi, 1973)The first section of this thesis examines previous water studies in Kenya and other parts of the world. It also reviews relevant literature and attempts to interpret available water data. Methods adopted in the entire ... -
Significance of volatile constituents from the geothermal fields of Olkaria
(Department of Geology, University of Nairobi, 2012)Volatile constituents in geothermal fields provide valuable information on the physical and chemical processes occurring in volcanic geothermal systems. This includes classification of geothermal waters, which is done ... -
A Simple Coupled Climate─economy─biosphere Model
(University of Nairobi, 2015)The goal of this thesis is to build a reduced-complexity model of coupled climate─economy─biosphere interactions, which uses the minimum number of variables and equations needed to capture the fundamental mechanisms ... -
Simple Non-destructive Technique For The Analysis Of Mercury In Creams
(University of NairobiCollege of Biological and Physical Sciences (CBPS), 1997)The sale of cosmetic creams is unrestricted in Kenya.
