Energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence analysis of mineral elemental concentrations in bore hole core samples from kisii area
(1990)
A total of fifty nine core samples at varying depths from
nine different bore holes from Kisii area have been
analysed using the energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence
(EDXRFA) method with a cadmium-109 source and a ...
OLR and SST characteristics over Africa during years of deficient and surplus rainfall in East Africa
(1994)
Accurate rainfall forecasts would greatly improve the quality and quantity of
agricultural products and other rain dependent activities, while allowing for the
amelioration and integration of the catastrophic socio-economic ...
Stream sediment geochemistry of the Edzawa river, Kakamega district western Kenya
(1990)
The Edzawa river, itself a tributary of the Yala rive~ and its
numerous tributaries drain an area of about 290 square kilometres,
bounded by the equator and latitude 0'07'N, and longitudes
34°341/2E and 34°45'E. A stream ...
Geological evaluation of subsurface suitability for shallow building foundations In Nairobi and the surrounding area
(1996)
This thesis work presents the results of geological and geotechrucal investigations carried
out in the Nairobi area. Kenya. The study was undertaken with the aim of obtaining and
providing information that could help in ...
A gravity survey of the Longonot-Suswa area
(1993)
The area of study comprises a part of the Rift Valley which has geothermal
potential. The gravity prospecting method was used in the project to
investigate the anomalies occur in the area. Qualitative and quantitative
...
Energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometry of light element matrices
(1996)
The utility of Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRfo) spectrometry has revealed
that accurate trace clement analysis in light clement matrices is limited by scattering and the
associated high background radiations; ...
Hypersurface orthogonal decomposition and analysis of the skew sector of a massive nonsymmetric gravitational theory linearized on a curved background
(1999)
Although General Relativity still provides the best classical description
of gravitational phenomenon it leads to the following unfortunate
predictions about the Universe :-
(i) that there was a singularity in the ...
Evaluation studies on the Application of vernonia and other epoxidized Vegetable oils in alkyd and epoxy coatings.
(1992)
Vernonia oil and other epoxidized vegetable oils were studied for
their characteristics and evaluated for their applications as
reactive diluents in alkyd coatings and in elastomers for
toughening epoxy coatings. These ...
Computer aided sizing of PV systems to suit different geographical regions in Kenya
(1998)
In theory, Photovoltaic (PV) systems can be sized to meet any load demand. The size and
viability of such systems depend on the load demand and its variability, availability of solar
resource at the site, and the efficiency ...
Structural analysis of the drainage basin of kenyan rift Valley lakes within the aberdare detachment, using Satellite data, gis and field observations
(1999)
In addressing the problem of lake-level changes in the drainage basin of the Kenyan
Rift Valley lakes (Bogoria, Nakuru, Elmenteita, Naivasha) of the Aberdare Detachment
System, a study of the watershed of the basin is ...
