(School of Engineering, Department of Electrical and Information Engineering, University of Nairobi, 2012)In this paper, a rectangular Cavity Backed Slot Antenna (CBSA) Model excited by a probe is investigated. The analysis is carried out using the Alternating Direction Implicit - Finite Difference Time Domain (ADI¬FDTD) Method ... -
Parameter optimization in design of a rectangular microstrip patch antenna using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system technique
(Department of Electrical and Information Engineering, University of Nairobi,, 2012-09)Modem wireless systems are placing greater emphasis on antenna designs for future development in communication technology because the antenna is a key element in the overall communication system. A Microstrip Antenna is ... -
A Robust Image Watermarking Scheme Invariant to Rotation, Scaling and Translation Attacks
(IEEEDepartment of Electrical and Information Engineering, University of Nairobi, 2012)A robust digital image watermarking scheme that is resistant to both signal processing and geometric attacks is proposed. The watermark is embedded in the Discrete Cosine Transform domain in a spread-spectrum format and ... -
Trace elements content of selected Kenyan anti diabetic medicinal plants
(2012)Diabetes mellitus has experimentally been shown to be managed by medicinal plant extracts. Among the factors attributable to the hypoglycemic potential of the medicinal plants, are the trace elements present in them. This ... -
Assessment of Antidiabetic Potential of Ficus Sycomorus on Alloxan-induced Diabetic Mice
(Department of Veterinary Pathology, Microbiology and Parasitology, 2012)Diabetes mellitus is a predominant public health concern, causing substantial morbidity, mortality, and long-term complications. Many of the conventional drugs used for the management of this disease are not only expensive ...
