East Africa’s dangerous dance with the past: important lessons the new East African community has not learned from the defunct
(University of Nairobi, 2014)This paper argues that while the framers of the new East African Community, cognizant of the problems of the defunct one, set out to create a new organization that would avoid the pitfalls of the old they were not bold ... -
Ecology of increasing disease, population growth, and environmental degradation.
(Urban and regional planning, University of Nairobi, 1998)The World Health Organization (WHO) and other organizations report that the prevalence of human diseases during the past decade is rapidly increasing. Population growth and the pollution of water, air, and soil are ... -
The eCOMBAT: Energy consumption monitoring tool for battery powered communication device
(2013-09)The ever rising demand for energy all over the world, following the dwindling of the fossil fuel resources and adverse effects on the climate change, has compelled the need to save energy and lower the cost of energy ... -

EDXRF analysis of local and imported pica soil samples
(EAST AFRICAN JOURNAL OF SCIENCE I Volume 3 -Part 1 June 2001, 2001)Several studies have implicated trace metal metabolism with some human diseases. Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence(EDXRF)method was used to analyse pica soil samples, which are consumed by some pregnant mothers in ... -
Effect of ageing of bitumen of performance of asphalt pavements in tropical environments
(Department of Civil and Construction Engineering Building, 2003)Bovine foscioliosis coused by F. giganticais widespread in There is a large collection of reports of fasciolosis in Kenya based on abattoir data records from veterinary investigation laboratories (VILS) as well as reports ... -
Effect of ageing of bitumen on performance of asphalt pavements in tropical environments
(Civil and Construction Engineering Building, University of Nairobi, 1994)Experience with bituminous surfaced roads in Kenya indicates a deterioration of asphaltic surfacings is manifested mainly by cracking early at their service-life. This paper reviews some previous works and describes the ... -
Effect of air maldistribution on performance of an evaporator
(2000)An experimental facility has been constructed to enable the effects of air flow non-uniformity on the transfer performance of refrigerant evaporators to be investigated. This is based on an open-circuit wind tunnel, which ... -
Effect of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer Strengthening on the Axial Capacity and Ductility of Non-slender Square Concrete Columns
(University of Nairobi, 2021)This research investigated the effect of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) strengthening on the axial capacity and ductility of non-slender square concrete columns. There is a problem of buildings collapsing in ... -
Effect of coagulants and extent of colour removal from textile effluents
