Decentralized Dynamic Power Control for Wireless Backbone Mesh Networks
(2011)The remarkable evolution of wireless networks into the next generation to provide ubiquitous and seamless broadband applications has recently triggered the emergence of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs). The WMNs comprise ... -
Supply and demand situation of farm tools and equipment in Kenya
(1986)A large majority of smallholders in Kenya still depend on hand labour and therefore use hand tools for agricultural production. Providing improved tools and animal-drawn equipment, where suitable, at relatively low prices, ... -
Ecology and Management of Lake Naivasha, Kenya, in Relation to Climatic Change, Alien Species' Introductions, and Agricultural Development
(University Of Nairobi, 1990)Lake Naivasha is an important freshwater resource for Kenya's foreign-currency-earning agriculture and tourism, and for water-supply. It has always experienced extensive water-level fluctuations as a consequence of irregular ... -
Dynamic Power Control for Wireless Backbone Mesh Networks: a Survey
(2010)With the tremendous growth of wireless networks into the next generation to provide better services, Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have emerged to offer ubiquitous communication and seamless broadband applications. WMNs ... -
The evolution and prospects for farm mechanization in Kenya
(1986)Increasing population pressure on land, farm structure, labour availability, private costs and benefits and the suitability of available technology have all influenced the form and intensity of farm mechanization. The study ... -
Market Structure and Conduct of the Hybrid Maize Seed Industry, A case Study of the Trans Nzoia District in Western Kenya
(2004)To understand the organization of the market and assess the degree of competition in maize hybrid seed production and retailing, the structure and conduct of the market was analyzed in Trans Nzoia District, a major maize ... -
Application of Decision Theory and Information Processing in the Selection of Engineering Entities
(University of Nairobi, 2012)The selection of engineering entities often occurs in engineering design processes. Examples of such occurrences are the selection of antifriction bearings, belt drive components, chain drive components and wire rope, ... -
Case for Agricultural Mechanization and a Homegrown Agricultural Machinery Industry in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2010)The process of agricultural mechanization is defined from various points of view, its history, its progress and its effects in various parts of the world and in various economic environments are reviewed. A case is argued ... -
Nadir platelet counts in African patients on doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (AC); and cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (CHOP).
(2010-11)AIM The aim of this study was to assess the degree and consequences of chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopaenia in patients on doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (AC); and cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and ... -
Mortality after road traffic crashes in a system with limited trauma data capability
(2014-02-13)Background Africa has 4% of the global vehicles but accounts for about one tenth of global vehicular deaths. Major trauma in Kenya is associated with excess mortality in comparison with series from trauma centers. The ... -
Fish habitat suitability and community structure in the equatorial Lake Naivasha, Kenya
(2014)Habitat suitability indices indicate how fish species respond to different habitat types. We assessed effects of habitat characteristics on fish distribution in an equatorial lake, Lake Naivasha, Kenya, where habitats ... -
Genetic and morphological analyses indicate high population mixing in the endangered cichlid Alcolapia flock of East Africa
(2013)Alcolapia is a minor genus of small-bodied, polymorphic cichlids inhabiting the lagoons and hot springs surrounding the soda lakes Natron (largely in Tanzania) and Magadi (Kenya). Three Alcolapia species are present ...
