Banks often drive their cost lower through investments in efficient-scale facilities and operation, tight cost and overhead control, and cost minimizations in such areas as service, selling and advertising. They often sell no-frills, standardized services and products to the most typical customers in the industry. Thus, banks seek a competitively valuable way to reduce cost by concentrating and maintaining efficiency through all activities in order to effectively control every expense and find new sources of potential cost reduction. This study limited itself to the variables of interest. The secondary data was derived from Equity Bank data for a period of 2008 to 2016. The study was conducted in Equity Bank, Homa Bay Branch. This study employed a descriptive research design. The study was conducted at Equity bank and targeted 75 respondents. The researcher used a questionnaire as research tool to collect data. The researcher with the help of supervisor and research expert was able to use the Content Valid Index (CVI).

Reliability assessment popularly known as Weibull analysis is an exercise primarily concerned with reliability estimation and prediction with which failure process of a system can better be analyzed. Many situations like modeling failure processes, decision of effective maintenance policy, estimation of maintenance float factors, downtime assessment and reduction greatly rely on the parameters of the life distributions fitted to the failure data. As the Weibull distribution involves transcendental equation, determining parameters is quite difficult task. To this effect, a Nomograph is developed and presented in this paper to closely determine the Weibull parameters. The paper articulates the development of Nomograph and procedure for its implementation. Results and discussions carried out proves statistically that the results obtained using the Nomograph are better than the commonly used its counterparts.

- A cloud consists of several elements such as clients, cloudlets, datacenter, distributed servers etc. While Cloud computing is a term, which involves virtualization, distributed computing, networking and software and web services. Centrally, the issue is to establish an effective load balancing in cloud. There are two types of load balancing algorithms available one is Static and other is Dynamic. In this paper we have studied three different Static load balancing algorithms i.e. Round Robin, Throttled, and Optimal. To compare each algorithm we have prepared a set-up and implemented each algorithm. Finally, an analysis has been done about the three implemented algorithms to find the best algorithm in terms of overall response time of cloudlet and Datacenter Processing time of cloudlet.

Good featured glassy bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) thin films were prepared from solutions having bismuth nitrate, triethanolamine and sodium selenosulphate at room temperature by chemical bath deposition technique. The crystalline structure, surface morphology, electrical and optical properties of these Bi2Se3 thin films were investigated as a function of annealing process. X-Ray diffraction studies resulted in Bi2Se3 thin films with amorphous structure at room temperature (RT) and growth in film was found by annealing with hexagonal crystal structure. A uniform sphere-like morphology was observed from scanning electron microscopy upon annealing. Optical absorption studies revealed that a direct band gap of 1.11 eV for as-deposited Bi2Se3 films and is drops to 1.02 eV by annealing in air at 2000C for one hour. Moreover the absorption edge shifting toward longer wavelength associated with crystallinity development of annealed film. As-deposited, the thin films show resistivity of approximately 6k?/cm2 decreases upon annealing. From temperature-resistance measurements Bi2Se3 thin films are distinctive semiconductor material upon annealing, with calculated activation energies of 0.18eV and 0.9eV at lower and higher temperature respectively. In photoconduction studies after annealing, the films display organized rise in the photocurrent with applied voltage than in the as-prepared films. This enrichment in conductivity results from crystallinity development along with partial loss of selenium. This may accelerate various promises for the usage of these films by chemical bath deposition method.

The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is known to be one of the oldest cultivated trees in the world, claimed to have anti-diarrhoea activity traditionally. Phytochemical components of the plant material are dependable sources for the treatment of health problems. Extract from fruit were screened for bioactivity against Salmonella spp and Shigella spp. The results significantly show activity at various concentrations for the distilled water, methanol and petroleum ether extracts. The crude and chloroform extracts revealed insignificant activities. Phytochemical analysis on the plant extracts reveals the presence of tannins, steroids, flavonoids and alkaloids. However, physiochemical analysis was also carried for the various solvent extract.

Stress echocardiography (DSE) is an investigative technique that is perfectly integrated into the diagnostic and prognostic assessment of many heart diseases, including coronary disease based on cardiac ultrasound images. Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) is very useful as a first-line test to detect a contractile reserve to better specify the potential benefit of revascularization This is a retrospective, descriptive and analytical study on patients collected in the laboratory of non-invasive Cardiology explorations hospitalized and/or followed in consultation or referred to the CARDIOLOGY B department IBN SINA university hospital, over a period of 2 years between January 2018 and December 2019. Method: Our service admitted 218 patients for pharmacological stress echocardiography with Dobutamine for viability. Objectives: The objective of our study is to report the activity of our service concerning the assessment of Myocardial Viability with Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography by specifying the clinical, electrical, echocardiographic and angiographic aspects as well as the results of the stress echocardiography. Results: Men and an average age of 64 years dominated the epidemiological profile of our patients; hypertension is the most common risk factor. Coronary arteriography shows: 43% of our patients had bitruncated coronary lesions. All our patients benefited from the same protocol in the assessment of myocardial viability with low-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography, 46% of viability positive in our series. None of our patients went through complications. These are probably explained by the low doses of dobutamine.
