Proceedings of the First Workshop on Language Technologies for African Languages
(University of Nairobi, 2009)In multilingual situations, language technologies are crucial for providing access to information and opportunities for economic development. With somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 different languages, Africa is a multilingual ... -
Community Centered Collaborative HCI Design / Research In Developing Countries
(University of Nairobi, 2014)We are proposing a SIG as an extended forum to build a sustainable network and resource repository for practitioners and researchers engaged in community centered collaborative design in developing countries. In structured ... -

Ethnopharmacology, phytochemical and toxicity of medicinal plants used against livestock helminthes in drylands of Uganda.
(University of Nairobi,, 2010)An ethno-pharmacological practices of pastoral communities is being studied in Nakasongola, Uganda. It is documenting indigenous knowledge about helminthoses diagnosis and management. Thirty seven (37) medicinal plants ... -
African Distance Dearning Via Satellite
(University of Nairobi, 1985)This paper describes a distance learning project which was conducted by COMSAT World Systems (CWS) using compressed digital video and C-band very small aperture terminal (VSAT) technology. The purpose of this project was ... -
Attractiveness of black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) to tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) (Diptera: Glossinidae) and other biting flies
(University of Nairobi, 1996)During translocations of black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis Linnaeus) in Kenya, we studied the relationships between the rhinoceros and biting flies. In trapping experiments, rhinoceros waste products (urine or dung) were ... -
3-Category Pedagogical Framework for Context based Ambient Learning
(31-05-13)Mobile phones have taken centre stage in transforming people's lives in all sectors of African economies. With regard to Education sector, studies show that, there is high prevalence of mobile phones among learners in ... -
The Challenges of Rural Electrification in Sub-Saharan Africa
(University of Nairobi, 09-06-05)This paper presents challenges of rural electrification. The main technical challenge of rural electrification programme to the power engineer is therefore the designing of an electrical distribution system for a dispersed ... -
A Wavelet Based Image Watermarking Scheme With A CDMA/Hadamard Embedding Technique
(University of Nairobi, 15-02-07)A new blind digital image watermarking scheme that employs a Hadamard matrix to spread the CDMA watermark in selected DWT coefficients in a gray-level cover image is proposed. The coefficients are obtained from the 1- level ... -
A Digital Image Watermarking Scheme Based On Localised Wavelet Coefficients' Dependency
(University of Nairobi, 25-09-09)A wavelet based robust image watermarking scheme in which a binary image is embedded in the horizontal and vertical quadrants of a wavelet transformed image is proposed. The algorithm exploits the inter-coefficients ... -
An Image Watermarking Method Based On The Singular Value Decomposition And The Wavelet Transform
(University of Nairobi, 28-09-07)A robust image watermarking scheme in which a binary image is embedded in the singular values of selected DWT blocks in the horizontal and vertical sub-bands of a 1-level decomposition of a gray-scale image is proposed. ... -
A spectral Subtraction Method for Noise reduction in Speech Signals
(University of Nairobi, 27-09-96)A noise suppression algorithm for enhancing speech signals corrupted by additive white Gaussian noise is presented in this paper. The algorithm is based on the subtraction of estimated noise spectrum from the noisy speech ... -
An Improved Enhancement Of Degraded Binary Text Document Images Using Morphological And Single Scale Retinex Operations
(University of Nairobi, 2012-07)This paper proposes a novel enhancement algorithm for degraded binary document images captured using a low end cell phone camera. The algorithm starts with colour to grey scale conversion followed by contrast stretching. ... -
A Colour Image Watermarking Technique Resistant To Affine Geometric Attacks
(University of Nairobi, 2013-09)This paper presents a colour image watermarking scheme resistant to affine geometric distortions. The technique involves embedding of the watermark in the host image in the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) domain in a ... -
Lateral Erosion of Rivers
(University of Nairobi, 1991)Lateral erosion in many rivers occurs on one bank while a concomitant deposition takes place on the alternate bank thus causing meandering rivers. The factors that cause this type of erosion are discussed and evaluated. A ... -
A geometric attack resistant image watermarking scheme based on invariant centroids
(University of Nairobi, 2007)A digital image watermarking scheme that uses invariant centroids to detect and correct geometric attacks is proposed. The centroids are determined by computing a convergent geometric moment of a circular region of a ...
