(Facult of Science, University of Nairobi, 1982) -
Multi-elemental energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence analysis of Kerio valley fluorite ores and Mrima hill soil sediments
(University of Nairobi, 1987)A total of fifty three radioactive fluorite samples from Kerio valley and Mrima Hill were analysed using Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) method. The excitation source used was Cadmium 109 and a silicon-lithium ... -
Multi-factor authentication and secure integration of mobile payments
(University of Nairobi, 2014-04)Adoption of technology reduces cost of doing business, creating competitive advantage and efficiency. The cost of Internet connectivity and smart devices is gradually dropping, exposing many to vast online resources and ... -
Multi-state Transition Models With Censoring in Vertical Transmission of Hiv
(University of Nairobi, 2016)In this study we have developed multistate models with censoring for vertical transmis- sion of HIV, also refered to as mother to child transmission of HIV. We then use the multistate models developed to derive the forward ... -
A Multi-tenancy Cloud Trust Model Using Quality of Service Monitoring- a Case of Infrastructure as a Service (Iaas)
(University of Nairobi, 2020)Digitization and changes in technological trends have necessitated the need for enterprises to start or have plans of migrating their services to cloud computing environments. This is to benefit from the many advantages ... -
Multi-Type Step-Wise Group Screening Designs
(University of NairobiSchool of mathematics,, 1988)The inspection of individual members of a large population is an expensive and tedious process. In many inspections, the objective is to eliminate all the defective members of the population. This situation ... -
Multi-yield Curve Modeling (with Application To Kenyan Bond Market)
(University of NairobiSchool of Mathematics, 2013)We discuss post-credit crunch paradigm shift from single-curve to the multi-curve setting. We first present the single curve, where we try to enrich the exposition by providing the requisite basic financial background. ... -
A multiagent system based safe fire emergency evacuation guide: (a simulation for a modern office building in Kenya)
(University of NairobiSchool of Computing and Informatics, 2012)Evacuation of people in the event of hazard is one of basic problems of human society. In emergency scenarios there is limited time to act and or react; this results to extensive life loss because the time needed for ... -
Multicomponent polymers containing poly(lactic acid)
(1996)Hydrophobic-hydrophilic copolymers containing poly(lactic acid) (PLA) were synthesized using three types of starting materials. The PLA macromonomers with methacrylate terminal functionality were synthesized from the cyclic ... -
A multilevel (combined analysis) for a repeated data in two seasons on dry matter yields of common fodder grasses in Western Kenya
(University of Nairobi, Kenya, 2012)Fodder grasses are the most common crops fed to dairy animals in Kenya. Although not directly used for human consumption, they are the source of protein and fat i.e. meat, milk and other dairy products that are available ... -
