Improved Quality and Reliability in Telecommunication Network Testing by means of a Remote Online Test System
(2014)Increasing demand for high quality and reliable operation of the telecommunication network services and its applications have been the main challenges of the telecommunication network providers in the last decade. In this ... -
RoombaCreate® for Remote Laboratories
(2014)Internet has advanced significantly with the aid of electronics and communication technologies. This allows us to undertake ambitious activities over the Internet, which are unthinkable even few years back. With this new ... -
Building a CPS as an Educational Challenge
(2014)Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are highly multidisciplinary systems that involve disciplines such as embedded computing, control theory and communication technology. Even though building this kind of systems is a challenging ... -
Interactive White Boards in Preschool and Primary Education
(2014)Technologies within the domain of interactive, remote and on line science which are extensively adopted in education’s everyday life are interactive whiteboards and related applications. Interactive whiteboards indicate ... -
A Web-Based Remote Lab Platform with Reusability for Electronic Experiments in Engineering Education
(2014)This contribution shows the concept and the steps of how we can create a Web-based remote lab platform with reusability capability that can be mainly used in engineering and science education for teaching electronics. ... -
Chemical Energy Sources Transformations by Remote Experiment
(2014)The paper describes the first experience with the set up, functioning and data evaluation of the remote experiment “Energy transformation” accessible via Internet (http://remotelab10.truni.sk) as a part of the e-laboratory ... -
Image Fusion and Evaluation of Geological Disaster Based on Remote Sensing
(2014)The investigation of geological disaster in our article locates in southern Australia, which is characterized by wide range, high relief, inaccessibility and other unfavorable factors. Multi-spectral ETM+ and SPOT 5 pan ... -
A Weight-based DV-HOP Improved Localization Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks
(2014)DV-Hop is one of the range-free localization algorithmsusing hop-distance estimation. However, it suffersfrom a large localization deviation and low localization accuracy.This paper proposed a weight-based DV-HOP ... -
Laboratory as a Service (LaaS): a Novel Paradigm for Developing and Implementing Modular Remote Laboratories
(2014)The increasing adoption of remote laboratories in education along with the shift from eLearning 2.0 towards eLearning 3.0, have demanded several considerations in their implementation and delivery format. In response to ... -
Online Laboratory Sessions in System Design with DSPs using the R-DSP Lab
(2014)The education of students in the design of DSP (Digital Signal Processor) based systems is achieved through courses including lectures and laboratory sessions. Traditionally, the laboratory sessions take place in the ... -
Gonotrophic cycle duration, fecundity and mating behavior of Anopheles gambiae complex mosquitoes in a dryland ecosystem in Baringo, Kenya
(2014)An entomological longitudinal survey was carried out over a 22 month period in two semi-arid villages in Baringo District in Kenya to study how adult malaria vectors survive under semi-arid conditions and during extended ... -
Trends and Periodicities in East African Rainfall Data
(University of Nairobi, 1976-03)Annual rainfall values from 35 stations in parts of East Africa (Kenya, northern Tanzania, and south-eastern Uganda) are analyzed for trend, periodicities, and variability. The data cover time periods ranging from 44 to ... -
Stationary Barotropic Flow Induced by a Mountain over a Tropical Belt
(University of Nairobi, 1980-07)Stationary solutions in the presence of bottom topography are computed for a tropical atmospheric belt. A primitive divergent barotropic model is assumed. An iterative time-averaging method proposed by Edelmann (1972b) is ... -
An Investigation of the Equatorial Orographic–Dynamic Mechanism
(University of Nairobi, 1985)A barotropic model over an equatorial beta-plane is used to investigate the response when a uniform zonal current crosses an isolated hypothetical mountain centered at the equator. The bounded derivative initialization ... -
Porosity, Flow, and Filtration Characteristics of Frustum-Shaped Ceramic Water Filters
(University of Nairobi, 2013)This paper presents the results of an experimental study of the effects of porosity on the flow rate and Escherichia coli (E. coli) filtration characteristics of porous ceramic water filters (CWFs) prepared without a coating ... -
Growth and regeneration of plantlets in callus cultures of pineapple
(University of Nairobi, 1981-03)Callus cultures were established from the basal region of in vitro-obtained shoot buds on MS medium supplemented with CH + CW + NAA. Such callus cultures, when grown on MS medium devoid of any growth regulators, regenerated ... -
Multiple Plantlets In Lateral Bud And Leaf Explant In Vitro Cultures Of Pineapple
(University of Nairobi, 1979-12)Plantlets were obtained from usually dormant axillary buds, excised from the crown of pineapple (Ananas comosus L. Merr.) and grown in culture. Multiple shoots arose from single buds grown on Murashige and Skoog medium ... -
In Vitro Clonal Multiplication Of Pyrethrum (Chrysanthemum Cinerariaefolium Vis.) By Micropropagation
