Co-designing systems for sustainable energy technologies in informal settlement households in Nairobi a case study of Mathare Valley informal settlement
(2018)Empirical data shows that there is limited adoption of sustainable energy technologies especially by residents of urban informal settlements in Kenya. This is because informal settlement dwellers, such as those living in ... -
CO2‐Induced Climatic Changes and Irrigation‐Water Requirements
(1991)Effects of CO2‐induced climatic changes on irrigation‐water requirements (IR) in the Great Plains region were evaluated using results of global atmospheric‐circulation models with a water balance‐IR model. Increases were ... -
Coconut Shell Flooring for Affordable Housing in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2024)This study is based on the potential use of coconut shell waste for providing flooring solutions for the Affordable Housing Programme in Kenya. Research has shown that the husk takes eight years to decompose organically, ... -
Cogeneration In Rural Development
(University of Nairobi, 1995-02)The excellent thermodynamic performance offered by cogeneration plants indicates that cogeneration is an attractive means of meeting the energy needs of industry and that it can contribute significantly to the efficient ... -

Combined Economic and Emission Dispatch problem using ABC_PSO hybrid algorithm with valve point loading effect
(IJSRP, 2012-12)The problem of power system optimization has become a deciding factor in current power system engineering practice with emphasis on cost and emission reduction. The economic and emission dispatch problem has been addressed ... -
Combined Field Integral formulation for Broadwall Radiating Slots of arbitrary Shape
(2009)In this paper CFIE formulation is presented to analyze broad wall slots of arbitrary shape partially filled with homogeneous dielectric materials. The ldquo generalized network formulation rdquo for aperture problems is ... -
Combined Real and Reactive Power Economic Dispatch using Multi-Objective Reinforced Learning with Optimized Losses
(2015)Most of the economic dispatch (ED) works so far deal with real power dispatch only. With the integration of renewable energy into the grid, reactive power dispatch cannot be ignored any longer due to its importance in ... -
A Combined Sensitivity Factor Based GA-IPSO Approach For System Loss Reduction And Voltage Profile Enhancement
(University of Nairobi, 2013)Though several algorithms for optimizing DG location and size in a network with the aim of reducing system power losses and enhancing better voltage profile have already been proposed, they still suffer from several ... -
Combining geometric geoid and transformation parameters to facilitate local GPS Surveying in Nairobi area.
(2006)In this section on government mapping activities, we are attempting to review major recent activities at the Federal, state, and local levels. The lengthiest part is that covering the Federal government. In part this ... -
Communicating Research in the Built Environment: A Professional Guide to Publishing Journal Articles
(University of Nairobi, 2023)The primary aim of this article is to document the process of turning research data into a peer review journal article in the built environment disciplines. This is necessary to educate prospective authors who wish to ... -
The Community Participatory AIDS Murals
(2001)Objectives To show how providing cameras to patients and community residents can be effective at involving the public in generating understanding of consumer, community, and health system problems and strengths. Background ... -
A comparative study of chromatic dispersion compensation in 10 Gbps SMF and 40 Gbps OTDM systems using a cascaded Gaussian linear apodized chirped fibre Bragg grating design
(University of Nairobi, 2022)Optical time domain multiplexed (OTDM) technology helps to respond to the need for increased capacity and demand in internet traffic using optical transmissions. High-speed optical networks are highly affected by chromatic ...
