Micromechanisms of short fatigue crack growth in an Al-Si piston alloy
(University of Nairobi, 2014-06)The short fatigue crack growth behaviour of a model cast aluminium piston alloy has been investigated. This has been achieved using a combination of fatigue crack replication methods at various intervals during fatigue ... -
Micronutrients in selected food crops in Muguga, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2014)Micronutrients are essential for growth of plants and although they are required in small quantities, inadequate supply of one or more of these results in reduced yields and quality of crop products. Micronutrients are ... -
Microwave Path Survey Using Differential GPS
(Maney PublishingSurvey, University of Nairobi, 2011)A microwave path survey is critical before any wireless communication infrastructure can be put into place. It is on the basis of this that the line of sight possibility between any pair of stations is established. This ... -
Microwave Remote Sensing
(2013)Persistent cloud cover, especially within the tropics, offers limited clear views of the Earth’s surface from space. This presents a major impediment to the application of optical remote sensing discussed in Chap. 8 in ... -
Microwave Route Surveying using Differential GPS
(2007)Advancements in global positioning system (GPS) technology now make GPS route choice data collection for travel diary studies and other transportation applications a reality. Opportunities abound for increased quantities ... -
Mineral micronutrient density in local cereals sampled from Bungoma, Maseno and Kibwezi areas
(2010)Cereals constitute a food staple in the African bread (Ugali) form. Overdependence on maize as a predominant staple is partly blamed on the constricting indigenous cereal phyto-diversity. Strategies rekindling interest ... -
Minimum requirements for permanent single storey houses
(1974)The "Minimum Requirements for Permanent Single Sto~y Housing" given in this pamphlet must be regarded as guidelines for those who need a definition of the term "Permanent Housing" in Tanzania. T~ere are three main ... -
The Missing Link: Spatial Information required in the preparation and implementation of Physical Development Plans in Kenya
(2001)Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Nairobi, Kenya. The relative bioavailabilities of three carbamazepine tablet formulations available in the Kenyan market (Temporal(R), Taver(R) and Carbamazepine ... -
Mitigating Conflicts Over Scarce Water Resources in the Highland-Lowland System of Mount Kenya
(2000)The Mount Kenya region offers a great deal of beautiful scenery and attracts tourists from all over the world. What these tourists may not see, however, is the crucial function of Mount Kenya as a water tower for its ... -
Mobility Plan for Eldoret Town: SSATP, World Bank,
(1997)Within the Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program (SSATP), the purpose of the Urban Transport component is to identify ways to provide affordable and safe mobility in urban areas, with special regard for the poorest ... -
A model for a four-dimensional integrated regional geodetic network
(1999)Abstract F our-dimensional geo desy deals with in tegrated pro cessing of geo detic observ ations in order to analyse the net w ork geometry and its v ariation with time, when these observ ations dep ... -
A model for a four-dimensional regional geodetic reference datum
(1997)A model for the establishment of a four-dimensional regional geodetic reference datum is presented. Starting from the three-dimensional integrated geodetic network model, formulations for the establishment of a four-dimensional ... -
A model for estimating student unit cost and staffing requirements for university programmes with reference to Kenyan public universities.
(2001)A model for the estimation of student unit costs and the staffing requirements for university academic programmes is presented. The development of the model starts off with the specification of a staff distribution matrix, ... -
A Model for HAZ Hardness Profiles in AI-Li-X Alloys: Application to the AI-Li-Cu Alloy 2095
(1998)In a previous paper (Ref. 1), details were presented of a theoretical model describing the evolution of the hardness profiles in the heat-affected zones (HAZ) of AI-Li-X weldments. The intent of the model was to ... -
A model for heat-affected zone hardness profiles in Al-Li-X alloys
(1998)A model based on reaction kinetics and elemental diffusion is proposed to account for the presence of double inflection in the hardness profiles of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) in weldments of Al-Li-X alloys tested without ... -
A model for the establishment of an integrated regional geodetic datum.
(1993)A model for the establishment of an integrated geodetic datum covering a region is treated. The integrated geodetic datum is understood here to comprise the geoid, the reference ellipsoid, and the positional coordinates. ... -
A Model Hardness for Heat-Affected Zone Profiles in AI-Li-X Alloys
(1998)A model based on reaction kinetics and elemental diffusion is proposed to account for the presence of double inflection in the hardness profiles of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) in weldments of AI-Li-X alloys tested ... -
Modeling of crop stem deflection in the context of combine harvester reel design and operation
(2012)A model of crop stem deflection by the combine harvester reel is formulated. The equations derived thereof are evaluated on the basis of empirical data that were acquired through deflection of crop stems in a ready-for-harvest ... -
