Ethanol Fuel substitution Through Fumigation
(1996)The effects of ethanol fumigation (i.e. the addition of ethanol to the intake air manifold) and ethanol–diesel fuel blends on the performance and emissions of a single cylinder diesel engine have been investigated ... -
Ethical Considerations in Building Regulations in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2024)Building regulations provide guidance and create a restrain in the actions that are required to create living environments. The search for shelter is a primordial human activity which is a form of expression of the ... -
Eu3 + as a luminescent probe for the local structure of trivalent dopant ions in barium zirconate-based proton conductors
(University of Nairobi, 2013-10)The luminescence spectra and decay kinetics of dry and hydrated samples of BaZr0.9Y0.099Eu0.001O2.95 have been measured at room temperature. The spectra of the dry sample evidence two 5D0 → 7F0 bands clearly indicating ... -
Evaluating Community/Self-help Water Management Systems In Arid And Semi-Arid Districts In Kenya
(1991)Given the squeeze on national budgets and the need for priorities over investment choices in education, many governments have turned to communities in the search for alternative sources of revenue. In Kenya, there is a ... -
Evaluating Development in Small Sub-National Areas of Developing Countries
(1991)This paper focuses on problems of measuring and evaluating development for small subnational areas in a developing country. It has been stressed that the core of the problem is a lack of suitable tools to do the job, due ... -
Evaluation of fundamental parameters method for biological materials and soil analysis by energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry
(1987)Two methods of determination of trace elements in plant materials, viz. the fundamental parameters method (FPM) and the empirical method with the use of standard samples, were compared. Hay CRM and fresh tea leaves were ... -
Evaluation of housing statistics in Kenya
(University of NairobiHousing and Building Research Institute, 2006-03)This paper reviews published official statistics in Kenya. It begins with a theoretical study of statistics in general and housing statistics in particular. From here it undertakes a comparative study of housing statistics ... -
Evaluation of hydraulic performance of an anaerobic pond using radiotracer technique
(University of Nairobi, 2019-03)A radiotracer investigation was carried out in a wastewater stabilization pond using radiotracer technique. Residence time distribution (RTD) of wastewater was measured using Iodine-131 as a radiotracer. The measured RTD ... -
Evaluation of Infiltration using the Green-Ampt model for catchments in Kenya,
(2001)This article briefly reviews the hydrologic components of prominent models used in agricultural and mixed land use watersheds and presents the current state‐of‐the‐art in agricultural watershed modeling. The models included ... -
Evaluation of Kenyan bentonite clay as geothermal well drilling mud
(University of Nairobi, 2015-03)The quest for the development of geothermal plants with capacities up to 10,000 MWe in Kenya has recen tly placed greater demand on bentonite clay. Bentonite clay is at present largely imported into the ... -
The Evaluation of Mechanical Shakers with Reference to Coffee Harvesting
(2000)Current canopy shaker harvesting machines were designed and optimized based on experimental studies about their fruit removal efficiency. To further improve the performance of canopy shaker harvesting machines, a ... -

(Emerald, 2019)Purpose – This study aims to evaluate the property tax base under the local government property taxation in Nairobi City and its implication on revenue adequacy of the city. Nairobi has grown both in population and in ... -
Evaluation of pseudo-ductile behavior of textile concrete.
(2003)The influence of fibers on the fatigue cracking resistance of asphalt concrete is investigated using fracture energy. Nylon, a popular facing yarn of carpets, is used for the actual recycled carpet fibers in asphalt pavement. ... -
An evaluation of residual stress distribution in welded compact tension specimens using neutron diffraction
(Department of Mechanical Engineering, 2005)The neutron diffraction technique was used to determine the residual stress field in welded compact tension specimens of the aluminium-lithium alloy AA 2095. The deep penetrating characteristic of neutrons was exploited ... -
