(Real Estate and Construction Management, University of Nairobi, 2009)Falling land and property prices which have been experience globally since 2008,present both a challenge and an opportunity.What opportunities does such a market present to government,the private sector and to communities ... -
Optical Remote Sensing
(2013)There are a large variety of systems for collecting remotely sensed data in operation today. -
An Optimal Eigenvalue Based Spectrum Sensing Algorithm for Cognitive Radio
(2015)Spectrum is a scarce resource, and licensed spectrum is intended to be used only by the spectrum owners. Various measurements of spectrum utilization have shown unused resources in frequency, time and space. Cognitive ... -
Optimal error analysis of receive diversity schemes on arbitrarily correlated Rayleigh fading channels
(2016)A simple optimal error analysis of multiple-branch equal gain combining (EGC) and selection combining (SC) in the presence of arbitrarily correlated Rayleigh fading channels is presented. It is shown that the error rates ... -
Optimal Long-term Reactive Power Planning Using Decomposition Techniques
(1991)This paper is to solve an optimal long-term reactive power planning problem. The long-term planning problem is decomposed into three levels using three decomposition techniques. First, the multiyear planning problem is ... -
Optimal placement of a piezoelectric ring in an ultrasonic powder transport system
(2011)The transport of powder materials is an important aspect of process engineering. Various industries such as the food, chemical, pharmaceutical, coating, information and telecommunication industries have set a high demand ... -
Optimal Power Flow in Kenya
(1994)Economy and reliability of service are important considerations in power system operation and planning. These two aspects of a power system can be adequately satisfied by formulating a suitable optimal power flow problem ... -
Optimal Power Flow Using Linear Programming
(Electrical and Information Engineering, University of Nairobi, 1992) -
Optimal Real and Reactive Power Control Using Linear Programming
(1992)This paper develops an improved real and reactive power control technique using linear programming (LP) for an integrated power system. The problem is decomposed into two subproblems comprising real (P) and reactive power ... -
The Optimal Sources of energy in Kenya
(1994)The electricity industry has an important role in developing a sustainable energy system, both regarding the use of electricity to improve environmental performance in society thus contributing to a better livingstandard ... -
Optimal Under - voltage Load Shedding using Cuckoo Search with Levy Flight Algorithm for Voltage Stability Improvement
(2015)Voltage stability has become a serious threat of modern power system operation nowadays. To tackle this problem properly, load shedding is a countermeasure taken as a last resort. However, its consequences ... -
