Solution to Economic Load Dispatch using Particle Swarm Optimization
(Department of Electrical and Information Engineering, School of Engineering, University of Nairobi, Kenya, 2014)-This paper proposes to determine the feasible optimal solution of the economic load dispatch power systems problem using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) considering various generator constraints. The objective of the ... -
Some characteristics of a two-dimensional starting mass fire with cross flow
(1981)A numerical model which can be used to study some aspects of mass fires is presented. The k—ϵ model of turbulence and the flame sheet model of combustion are employed. To account for the “unmixed-ness” of the fuel and ... -
Some Mechanical properties of sisal fibre concrete
(1997)Sisal fibre is a promising reinforcement for use in composites on account of its low cost, low density, high specific strength and modulus, no health risk, easy availability in some countries and renewability. In recent ... -
Sorption of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene and tetrachloroethene within an authigenic soil profile: Changes in Koc with soil depth
(University of Nairobi, 1998)The sorption of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene and tetrachloroethene was investigated in a series of well-controlled batch experiments, using authigenic soil materials from a profile extending to 2.5 m below ground surface. Batch ... -
Space Measurements of near surface aerosols in the central district of Nairobi City, Kenya
(2005)There have been very few studies in Kenya on aerosols despite the global demand on aerosol ground studies in the perspective of climate and the human well being. Therefore, atmospheric aerosol studies became the basis of ... -
Space science education in the African continent
(University of Nairobi, 1997)Through measurement and interpretation of the spectral, spatial and temporal variations in electromagnetic emissions and reflections from the Earth's surface, important information related to natural resources can be ... -
Space Technology: Benefits To Mankind

Spartial Analysis of Apartments
(Architecture and Building Science, University of Nairobi, 1984) -
Spatial Analysis
(2013)The most important function of GIS is the analysis of spatial data and their attributes for purposes of decision support. Indeed, spatial analysis is the very crux of GIS. It is the means of adding value to geographic data ... -
Spatial Analysis of Distribution and Socio-economic Impacts of Immigration: Case Study of Nairobi, Kenya
(2015)Increasing globalization trends have made migration a key element in national and international deliberations worldwide. Mapping of immigrant issues has therefore gained prominence in many parts of the world. In Kenya ... -
A Spatial Analysis of the Intra-National Digital Divide in Kenya as a Regional Development Dilemma
(2010)In the past, different technologies' have had varied impacts on the development of nations, regions, cities, and citizens worldwide. Currently, the impacts of information and communication technologies (rCTs)2 are the ... -
The Spatial Approach In The Identification Of Tax Evasion On Rental Income: Case Study Of Umoja And Kileleshwa Estates In Nairobi, Kenya.
(Geospatial and Space Technology, University of Nairobi, 2007) -
Spatial autocorrelation and hotspot analysis of natural radionuclides to study sediment transport
(University of Nairobi, 2023)Tracking sediment movement is typically done with artificial radionuclides. However, this can be environmentally harmful and does not allow for sediment classification. Naturally occurring radionuclides are consequently ... -
Spatial Planning And Sustainable Development In Kenya, Discovery And Innovation
