The FIREMAN: Foraging-inspired energy management in multi-radio Wi-Fi networks
(2013-09)The tremendously rapid evolution of wireless networks into the next generation heterogeneous broadband and mobile networks has necessitated the emergence of the multiradio, wireless infrastructure. These wireless infrastructural ... -
The eCOMBAT: Energy consumption monitoring tool for battery powered communication device
(2013-09)The ever rising demand for energy all over the world, following the dwindling of the fossil fuel resources and adverse effects on the climate change, has compelled the need to save energy and lower the cost of energy ... -
Achievable capacity design for irregular and clustered high performance mesh networks
(2013)This study has presented the End to End (E2E) upper bound capacity limits for high performance mesh nodes that can be deployed in rural and remote areas. The achievable capacity limits for both irreg- ular and clustered ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Environmental Geoinformatics : Monitoring And Management
(University of Nairobi, 2013)There is no doubt that today, perhaps more than ever before, humanity faces a myriad of complex and demanding challenges. These include natural resource depletion and environmental degradation, food and water insecurity, ... -

Investigation of interior stress relationships on rigid pavements along Mbagathi road, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2013-05)This research was carried out on Mbagathi Road which is approximately 6km dual carriageway that starts at Langata Road (C58) roundabout and ends at Ngong road (C60) roundabout at City mortuary in Nairobi City. Mbagathi ... -
Four lectures on geodetic network analysis
(University of Nairobi, 1983)A model for the establishment of an integrated geodetic datum covering a region is treated. The integrated geodetic datum is understood here to comprise the geoid, the reference ellipsoid, and the positional coordinates. ... -
Provenancing of Hominid and Mammalian Fossils from Kanjera, Kenya, using EDXRF
(University of Nairobi, 1994)We describe a rapid, non-destructive energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) technique for provenancing fossil bone, and apply it to surface collected fossils from Kanjera, Kenya. The locality is best known for its ... -
HydroMe: R codes for estimating water retention and infiltration model parameters using experimental data
(University of Nairobi, 2013)This package is version 2 of HydroMe v.1 package. It estimates the parameters in infiltration and water retention models by curve-fitting method. The models considered are those that are commonly used in soil science. It ... -
A Combined Sensitivity Factor Based GA-IPSO Approach For System Loss Reduction And Voltage Profile Enhancement
(University of Nairobi, 2013)Though several algorithms for optimizing DG location and size in a network with the aim of reducing system power losses and enhancing better voltage profile have already been proposed, they still suffer from several ... -
Effects of Distributed Generation penetration on system power losses and voltage profiles
(University of Nairobi, 2013)In present times, the use of DG systems in large amounts in different power distribution systems has become very popular and is growing on with fast speed. Although it is considered that DG reduces losses and improves ... -
Factors Affecting Implementation of Strategic Plans in Ministries in Kenya: A Case of Ministry of Housing
(University of NairobiDepartment of Real Estate and Construction Management, 2013)Strategy is the heart of strategic management because it helps an organization to plan, formulate and implement various tasks in its attempts to prosper. Strategic planning relates to the distinct elements which differ ... -
Urban Street Design and Standards in Architecture
(University of NairobiSchool of Built Environment, 2013-06)The purpose of this study was to evaluate the extent to which the streets in the city of Nairobi were guided by the street standards enacted by different statutes. The streets studied were Mamlaka, State House and ...
