A rapid MRI reconstruction method based on compressive sampling and concomitant artifacts suppression
(University of Nairobi, 2018)In this paper, a proposed rapid Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) reconstruction method is presented. The method is based on the compressibility of the images in the wavelet domain and suppression of the resulting artifacts. ... -
Rate And Reliability Implementation Scheme For Polar Codes,SATNAC2012,EastLondon,SA
(University of NairobiDepartment of Electrical & Information Engineering, 2012)Communications channel coding that achieves capacity is implemented and solution suggested for selection of the optimal design parameter to achieve capacity:Rate or reliability of channels. -

The rationalisation of residential densities in an inner city area of Nairobi
(School of Built Environment, University of Nairobi, 2001-09)The need for a rational land utilisation in the inner city areas of Nairobi is becoming increasingly recognised in the urban development. In particular, it is made more urgent by the rapidly increasing levels of urbanisation ... -
The Rationalisation of Residential land Utilisation in the Inner City Areas: A Case Study of Bahati Estate in Nairobi, Kenya

Re-alignment of a guyed tower
(2008)Towers are typical structures that can be found in many urban and rural landscapes the world over. From their basic design, they are usually exposed to severe environmental loads. It is therefore prudent to carry out ... -
Reaction invariants and their importance in the analysis of eigenvectors, state observability and controllability of the continuous stirred tank reactor
(University of Nairobi, 1974-09)Two different projection operators are found, projecting the state space of a continuous stirred tank reactor (C.S.T.R.) dynamic model on the space of asymptotically invariant states (or on the space of true invariant ... -
Real Estate Sub-markets
(1993)The idea that location is important in real estate economics is not new. However, the spatial dimension of real estate data is not always taken into account in traditional real estate models. Spatial econometrics is a tool ... -
Reality effects on the human development paradigm in sub-saharan Africa
(2009)The Paper argues that humanity should be at the centre of development. People should be involved in the design, implementation of local development projects. The paper also advocates for the decentralisation of authority ... -

Rectangular-Wave Modulation
(University of Nairobi, 1983-03)Rectangular-wave modulated pulse lengths are expressed as a function of the modulation index. The theoretical expressions are experimentally verified. An experimental measurement of signal-to-noise ratio for rectangular-wave ... -

Reducing real and reactive power losses in the distribution system by DFIG placement and sizing using ordinary PSO and HGPSO : a comparison
(University of Nairobi, 2012)Due to the increased importance of DFIGs in optimization of real and reactive power losses and the maintenance of voltage profile, the general methods of DG placement and sizing in the existing literature cannot be of ... -
Reduction of Peak-to-Average Power Ratio in OFDM Radio Systems
(2012)The authors propose a very effective and flexible peak power reduction scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with almost vanishing redundancy. This new method works with arbitrary numbers of subcarriers ... -
Reforming the statistical system of Kenya: policy implications for the development of building construction statistics
(Urban and regional planning, University of Nairobi, 2009)Kenya is in the process of reforming its national statistical system that has been catering to the various sectors of the economy including the building construction sub-sector. This paper evaluates opportunities that the ... -

Regional Development Profile of Ewaso Ng
(1999)Water resources are becoming increasingly scarce in the Mt. Kenya region. Land use and climate change may pose additional challenges to water management in the future. In order to assess the impacts of environmental change, ...
