Reaction invariants and their importance in the analysis of eigenvectors, state observability and controllability of the continuous stirred tank reactor
(University of Nairobi, 1974-09)Two different projection operators are found, projecting the state space of a continuous stirred tank reactor (C.S.T.R.) dynamic model on the space of asymptotically invariant states (or on the space of true invariant ... -
Real Estate Sub-markets
(1993)The idea that location is important in real estate economics is not new. However, the spatial dimension of real estate data is not always taken into account in traditional real estate models. Spatial econometrics is a tool ... -
Reality effects on the human development paradigm in sub-saharan Africa
(2009)The Paper argues that humanity should be at the centre of development. People should be involved in the design, implementation of local development projects. The paper also advocates for the decentralisation of authority ... -

Rebound Deflections Relationship with Repetititions of Wheel Loads for Typical Flexible Pavements in Kenya,
(Civil Engineering, University of Nairobi, 1971) -
Rectangular-Wave Modulation
(University of Nairobi, 1983-03)Rectangular-wave modulated pulse lengths are expressed as a function of the modulation index. The theoretical expressions are experimentally verified. An experimental measurement of signal-to-noise ratio for rectangular-wave ... -

Reducing real and reactive power losses in the distribution system by DFIG placement and sizing using ordinary PSO and HGPSO : a comparison
(University of Nairobi, 2012)Due to the increased importance of DFIGs in optimization of real and reactive power losses and the maintenance of voltage profile, the general methods of DG placement and sizing in the existing literature cannot be of ... -
Reduction of Peak-to-Average Power Ratio in OFDM Radio Systems
(2012)The authors propose a very effective and flexible peak power reduction scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with almost vanishing redundancy. This new method works with arbitrary numbers of subcarriers ... -
Reforming the statistical system of Kenya: policy implications for the development of building construction statistics
(Urban and regional planning, University of Nairobi, 2009)Kenya is in the process of reforming its national statistical system that has been catering to the various sectors of the economy including the building construction sub-sector. This paper evaluates opportunities that the ... -

Regional Development Profile of Ewaso Ng
(1999)Water resources are becoming increasingly scarce in the Mt. Kenya region. Land use and climate change may pose additional challenges to water management in the future. In order to assess the impacts of environmental change, ... -

Regional Workshop for Coordinators of Reforms in Water and Sanitation Delivery
(2003)This study set out to examine the policy position in Kenyan health care financing, with regard to implementation of the proposed social health scheme (NSHIF) and its performance potential. The specific objectives were to: ... -
Rehabilitation of Hand-dug Wells and Protected Springs
(Civil and Construction Engineering, University of Nairobi, 1994)The study area covers 24 km2 of Magwagwa I sub-location of North Mugirango/Chache Location in Kisii District of Nyanza Province in Kenya. The area of study was limited in order to have a thorough and compherensive field ... -

The Relationship Between Actual and Perceived Risk in Building Contracts in Kenya
(2008)The success of any project critically depends on the extent to which inherent risks are identified, analysed, allocated to the parties and managed. Sound analysis of the potential impact of risk in turn depends on the ...
