Numerical Modelliing Of Square Tubular Steel Beams Subjected To Transverse Blast Loads Thin
(Department of Civil Engineering, Monash University, Vic. 3800, AustraliaBlast Impact Survivability Research Unit (BISRU), Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Cape Town, Private Bag,Rondebosch 7701, South AfricaNSW Injury and Risk Management Research Centre, UNSW, NSW, 2052 Sydney, Australia, 2009)This paper presents the numerical simulations of thin-walled square hollow steel beams subjected to a uniform transverse blast load. The objectives of the numerical simulations were to gain an insight into the temporal ... -
Numerical Modelling of Aerodynamic Performance of Aerofoil Windmill Blades at Various Blade Configurations
(1995)Abstract The accurate prediction of the aerodynamics and performance of vertical-axis wind turbines is essential if their design is to be improved but poses a significant challenge to numerical simulation tools. The ... -
Numerical Study Of County Solid Waste Management At The Dumpsite
(2015)This study presents the development of one dimensional mathematical model capab le of simulating simultaneous processes of oxygen flow. It is based on some assumptions like the dumpsite ... -
Nurturing East African Cities into Viable and Sustainable Human Settlements and Economic Bases: Conceptual Framework and Related Strategies
(Urban and regional planning, University of Nairobi, 2007) -
Nutrient Losses from Cropland in the Central Highlands of Kenya due to Surface Runoff and Soil Erosion
(University of Nairobi,, 1995-02)Soil loss, runoff and nutrient losses were measured on runoff plots during the rainy season from November 1992 to January 1993. Crops grown were maize (Zea mays L.), beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and an intercrop of maize ... -

Occupational exposure to roadway emissions and inside informal settlements in sub-Saharan Africa: A pilot study in Nairobi, Kenya
(Univerisyt of Nairobi, 2015)Few studies examine urban air pollution in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), yet urbanization rates there are among the highest in the world. In this study, we measured 8-hr average occupational exposure levels of fine particulate ... -
Occupational radiation exposures of artisans mining columbite–tantalite in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
(2007)Artisans in Masisi and other parts of the North Kivu province in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) mine columbite–tantalite mineral ores (also called 'coltan') for the tantalum content. The potential occupational ... -
Off-grid lighting products in Kenya
(2010)Less than 20% of Kenya's population is connected to the grid. Only 5% of the country's rural population, which accounts for over 70% of the total population enjoys electricity connectivity. To compensate for this deficiency ... -
Offshore wind power potential in the Kenyan coastal strip

Oldowan behavior and raw material transport: perspectives from the Kanjera Formation
(Institute of Nuclear Science & Technology, University of Nairobi, 2008)The archaeological record of Oldowan hominins represents a diverse behavioral system. It has been suggested that exploitation of lithic resources by Oldowan hominins was simplistic and represented mostly use of local sources ... -
Oldowan raw material procurement and use: Evidence from the Koobi Fora formatlon
(Institute of Nuclear Science & Technology, University of Nairobi, 2009)Raw material availability has been shown to be a major factor affecting the material culture of Oldowan tool users. Studies of artefact provenance often focus on site-specific raw material availability. Here, we use data ... -
On deviated and branched crack paths in AlLiX alloys
(1996)The origins of deviated and/or branched fatigue crack paths in Alsingle bondLisingle bondX type alloys were investigated. The crack paths were predicted by calculating the orientation of the slip planes in single crystals ... -
On the Performance of Video Band Complex Correlators
(University of Nairobi, 1983-05-19)The performance data for various correlation schemes for Gaussian signals converted from the intermediate frequency band to the video band are derived and discussed. The folded-band conversion scheme is shown to have ... -
