(Urban and regional planning, University of Nairobi, 2011) -
A Negotiated Framework For Rehabilitation Of Riparian Zones In Nairobi City: The Case Of Mathare River Valley (Kenya)
(2010)The term riparian is frequently used to mean the interface between land and a flowing surface water body. Older and more classical riparian interpretations identify primarily woody vegetation associated only with lotic ... -
Neighbourhood Units in Nairobi: A Survey of Bahati and Ofafa
(University of Nairobi,Architecture and Building Science, 1989) -
A new approach for using time-series remote-sensing images to detect changes in vegetation cover and composition in drylands
(2011)Vegetation cover and composition are important aspects of the dryland environment because they provide livelihood to humans and also protect soil resources against erosion. Currently, scientists are advancing various ... -
A New Frontier in Collaborative Approaches in Sustainable Open Spaces Delivery in Nairobi City :
(Africa Habitat Review, 2020-02-20)This study aimed to examine the historical loss of public open spaces in Nairobi City, assess the residents’ awareness of the importance of the resource and determine the collaborative planning and governance approaches ... -
New Product Development In The Micro Enterprise Sector
(Arts and Design, University of Nairobi, 2003)Various stakeholders come together to conceptualise, analyse and commercialise new products. This was the case recently when designers, artisans, marketers and facilitating institutions came together to engage in new product ... -
The Nigerian “Fence Culture
(2006)A fence is something with which virtually everyone is familiar. In everyday usage, the word is connotative of a barrier or at best, a delimiting phenomenon. More technically, it can be said to be a structure (of varying ... -
Nitrogen oxides, ozone and heavy metals analysis of suspended particulate matter (spm) of air in Nairobi, Kenya
(2001)Motor vehicle emissions are a major source of air pollution in most urban centers. In Kenya, Nairobi city has the highest traffic density and is therefore a particular cause for concern due to the poor maintenance standards ... -
Noise and Land Use Conflict: An Environmental Impact Study on Wilson Aerodrome, Nairobi, Kenya
(Department of Civil Enginnering, University of Nairobi, 1995) -
Non-compliance and formalisation: mutual accommodation in land subdivision processes in Eldoret, Kenya
(2006)Conflicts over land are central to Kenya's political economy. In particular, the displacement of indigenous inhabitants during the process of establishing settler agriculture and the association of dispossession and land ... -
Non-destructive analysis of Mercury(Hg) by Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) Technique in Beauty Creams sold in Kenya
(International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)Institute of Nuclear Science & Technology, University of Nairobi, 1996-11)Analysis of mercury(Hg) in 100 different beauty creams by energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence technique is described. Each sample was brought to a melt by warming on a water bath at 40-50°C, and then poured onto a 2.5 ... -
Non-destructive XRF analysis of Nigerian and Kenyan clays
(University of Nairobi, 1997-04)Nigerian and Kenyan clays were analysed using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) technique and thirteen elements (Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Br, Rb, Sr, Zr, Nb and Pb) were detected. The health implications, ... -
