Electoral violence in Africa: a case study of Uganda 1996-2011
(University of Nairobi, 2014)The process of elections should be free and fair for people to trust formation of legitimate government. However, a situation where elections are not free and fair is indicative of lack of or poor democracy, and is a ... -
Electrical Power Substation Energy Audit And The Cost- Benefit Analysis Of Automating Switching Operations During Outages At The Kenya Power Company Limited.
(University of NairobiDepartment of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, School of Engineering, 2012-04)Substation automation has, its prime objective, the need to satisfy the increasingly demanding requirements of the power systems concerned. The most important requirement is to ensure that the power system, as a whole, is ... -
Electrical resistivity measurements on dilute alloys of Nico, Niv, Nipt And Nia1
(Department of Physics, 1977)Electrical resistivi~ measurements have been made on Ni, Ni-5 at% Co, Ni-5 at% V, Ni-5 at% Pt and Ni-5 at% Al in the temperature range from 20 °c to at least 70 °c above the Curie temperatures of the alloys. For T > Tc ... -

An electrical resistivity study of the area between Mt. Suswa and The Olkaria Geothermal field, Kenya
(University of NairobiFaculty of Science, 1989)The D. C. electrical resistivity study of Suswa-Olkaria region was carried out from July 1987 to November, 1988. The main objective was to evaluate the sub-surface geoelectric structure with a view to determining ... -
An electrical resistivity survey in the area south of Suswa volcano
(1992)The area south of Suswa volcano is underlain by volcanic and volcano-sedimentary rocks of the Pliocene-Pleistocene-Recent Periods. These rock types are common waterbearing formations, especially the wea~hered, fractured ... -
Electricity consumption in learning institutions: The case of Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC)
(University of Nairobi, 2013)Learning institutions consume a significant portion of the total tertiary electricity and hence could contribute to energy saving in Kenya if the right energy saving measures are put in place. For evidence-based design ... -
Electricity Demand, Generation Efficiency and Costs in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2020)The government of Kenya has been making commendable efforts towards providing affordable energy to its citizens. However, the cost of electricity has been increasing despite reform programmes aimed at reducing costs. This ... -
Electricity load forecasting using artificial neural networks
(University of NairobiSchool of Computing and Informatics, 2010)Electricity load forecasting has become increasingly important for the power industry. To generate "what is reasonably required" one needs forecast the future electricity demands. However, the accurate load prediction ... -
Electro Catalytic Decompsition Of Captan And Methoxychlor Pesticide Residues Using Cyanocobalamin
(University of Nairobi,, 2014)The current study involved electrocatalytic reduction of the organochlorine pesticide residues which are, (3aR,7aS)-2-[(trichloromethyl)sulfanyl]-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydro-lHisoindole- l,3(2H)-dione (Captan) and 1,1, ... -
