Indifference Pricing of Contingent Claims on NIG L´evy Model
(2012)
We develop an attractive and tractable model to describe the financial
time series of stock prices observed at the Nairobi exchange market
then price financial derivatives on the underlying stock. The stock price
process ...
Analysis of Root Mean Square Roughness of Microcrystalline Silicon Thin Films Using Scanning Probe Image Processor software
(2012)
Electron transport and recombination has been investigated in dye-sensitized electrochemical solar cells
at varying Ti02 film thickness using experimental electrochemical potential technique. Photocurrent
transients ...
Use of GPS With Road Mapping For Traffic Analysis
(2012-11)
Traffic control and management requires high-tech computerized solutions as opposed to the manual methods that commonly involve the use
of traffic policemen, traffic lights and safety cameras. Collection and analysis of ...
Chemical Communication in the Honey Bee Scarab Pest Oplostomus haroldi : Role of ( Z )-9-Pentacosene
(University of Nairobi, 2012)
Oplostomus haroldi Witte belongs to a unique
genus of afro-tropical scarabs that have associations with
honey bee colonies, from which they derive vital nutrients.
Although the attributes of the honey bee nest impose ...
Performance chacterization of a dye-sensitized photovoltaic module under tropical weather conditions: the case of Nairobi, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, Kenya, 2012)
The performance of a Dye-sensitized solar module (DSSM) of active area 175.12 cm has been investigated at a tropical climate area at co-ordinates 35.81 ᄚ East, 1.280 South. Investigation of the DSSM's performance parameters; ...
Management of thrips (Thrips tabaci) in bulb onion by use of vegetable intercrops
(© International Academic Journals, 2012-05)
Field experiments were conducted between July 2008 and May 2009 to evaluate the effectiveness of intercropping carrot (Daucus carota), spider plant (Cleome gynandra) and French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) with onion in the ...
Impacts Of Land Cover Change Scenarios On Storm Runoff Generation: A Basis For Management Of The Nyando Basin, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2012)
The effects of conceptual land cover change scenarios on the generation of storm runoffs were evaluated in the Nyando Basin. The spatial scenarios represented alternatives that vary between full deforestation and reforestation. ...
Classification of the Kenyan general insurance risks using copula approach
(JKUAT Press Ltd, 2012)
Dependence between risks reduces the benefits of
diversification. Modem portfolio theory is based on correlation as
a measure of dependence while the criterion presented here is
based on the copula theory as a measure ...
On commutants and operator equations
(2012)
Let B(H) denote the algebra of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert
Space H into itself. Given A,B ∈ B(H) define C(A,B) and R(A,B) : B(H) −→
B(H) by C(A,B)X = AX − XB and R(A,B)X = AXB − X. Our task in this
note is to ...
Synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles using tea extracts and their application in nanobiosensors
(2012)
A facile reduction approach with silver nitrate, AgN03, solution and tea extracts led to polydisperse silver nanoparticles, tea-AgNPs, at room temperature. A mixture of AgN03 solution and tea extracts, extracted at 90°C, ...
