Determination of suspended particulates matter of major significance to human health using nuclear techniques in Kenya
(1996)Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis of aerosol samples in Nairobi is presented. Results show that elemental concentrations are of the order of 10−4 to 10−6 μg/m3 for most elements analyzed. The total ... -
The Relationship between Land Markets and Land Conflicts in Nairobi
(University of Nairobi,College of Architecture and Engineering, 1979)There is a general belief that land markets are developing faster and efficiently allocating land in most emerging markets like the ones found in Africa. The reality however is that the evolution of the land market has ... -
Physical Properties of Crude Oil from Cape Chestnut (Calendrum capense)
(2001)Physical properties of crude oil from cape chestnut (Calendendrum capense) were determined. The effects of temperature and methods of extraction on some of the properties were analysed. The density of the oil decreased ... -
Effective Recycling of Cast Aluminium Alloys for Small Foundries
(2010)A method of effective recycling of aluminium castings suitable for small foundries was investigated. Automotive cast aluminium scrap obtained from various scrap vendors was sorted into groups of similar components, namely; ... -
Micromechanisms of fatigue crack growth in cast aluminium piston alloys
(2012)The fatigue crack growth behaviour in as-cast and hot isostatically pressed (HIP) model cast aluminium piston alloys with hypoeutectic Si compositions of 6.9 wt% and 0.67 wt% has been investigated. The HIP alloys showed ... -
Analysis of fatigue crack initiation and S–N response of model cast aluminium piston alloys
(2011)Fatigue crack initiation and S–N fatigue behaviour of hipped model Al7Si–Sr and Al0.7Si piston alloys have been investigated after overaging at 260 °C for 100 h to provide a practical simulation of in-service conditions. ... -

Trace elements in PM2.5 in Gothenburg, Sweden
(Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology, University of NairobiDepartment of Chemistry, University of Gothenburg, SwedenDepartment of Applied Physics, Chalmers University of Technology, Göteborg, Sweden, 2010)Ambient aerosol particles smaller than 2.5 µm (PM2.5) are getting more and more attention worldwide. While legal focus is mainly on sample mass, the composition of the particles is an important research field gaining ... -
Cost models in life cycle cost methodologies with particular reference to roof covering materials
