Evaluation of hydraulic performance of an anaerobic pond using radiotracer technique
(University of Nairobi, 2019-03)A radiotracer investigation was carried out in a wastewater stabilization pond using radiotracer technique. Residence time distribution (RTD) of wastewater was measured using Iodine-131 as a radiotracer. The measured RTD ... -
Evaluation of Infiltration using the Green-Ampt model for catchments in Kenya,
(2001)This article briefly reviews the hydrologic components of prominent models used in agricultural and mixed land use watersheds and presents the current state‐of‐the‐art in agricultural watershed modeling. The models included ... -
Evaluation of Kenyan bentonite clay as geothermal well drilling mud
(University of Nairobi, 2015-03)The quest for the development of geothermal plants with capacities up to 10,000 MWe in Kenya has recen tly placed greater demand on bentonite clay. Bentonite clay is at present largely imported into the ... -
The Evaluation of Mechanical Shakers with Reference to Coffee Harvesting
(2000)Current canopy shaker harvesting machines were designed and optimized based on experimental studies about their fruit removal efficiency. To further improve the performance of canopy shaker harvesting machines, a ... -

(Africa Habitat Review, 2020-02-20)The paper evaluates property rates collection and enforcement in devolved systems of governance in Kenya with a specific focus on Nairobi City County. The study sought to establish the property rates Collection Ratio ... -
An evaluation of property tax base in Nairobi city
(Emerald, 2019)Purpose – This study aims to evaluate the property tax base under the local government property taxation in Nairobi City and its implication on revenue adequacy of the city. Nairobi has grown both in population and in ... -
Evaluation of pseudo-ductile behavior of textile concrete.
(2003)The influence of fibers on the fatigue cracking resistance of asphalt concrete is investigated using fracture energy. Nylon, a popular facing yarn of carpets, is used for the actual recycled carpet fibers in asphalt pavement. ... -
An evaluation of residual stress distribution in welded compact tension specimens using neutron diffraction
(Department of Mechanical Engineering, 2005)The neutron diffraction technique was used to determine the residual stress field in welded compact tension specimens of the aluminium-lithium alloy AA 2095. The deep penetrating characteristic of neutrons was exploited ... -
Evaluation of Small Scale Irrigation Water Management in ASALs, Kenya

An evaluation of some robust estimation techniques in the estimation of geodetic parameters.
(1999)In Part 1 of this study, we reported on an evaluation of the performances of four robust estimation techniques, namely: the modified residuals technique, the modified weights technique, the modified residuals-weights ... -
Evaluation of the effectiveness of solar radiation for the disinfection of enteropathogenic e. coli escherichia contaminated water
(University of Nairobi, 2012)The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of solar radiation as a disinfection agent for EPEC contaminated water. Effectiveness of SODIS was determined using viable coliform counts on VRBA medium and inactivation ... -
Evaluation of the Nairobi-Thika Road Improvement Project in the Context of Inclusive Development
(SAGE, 2022-03-31)This paper converts the six reasons for inclusive development proposed by Gupta into a heuristic device for evaluation of inclusive development in road infrastructure projects in Nairobi. The Gupta Rationale entails six ... -
Evaluation of toughness of textile concrete:
(2009)High Performance Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composites (HPFRCC) are characterized by a stress–strain response in tension that exhibits strain-hardening behaviour accompanied by propagation of multiple cracks. This process ... -
Evolution of urban housing strategies and dweller-initiated transformations in Nairobi
(Department of Architecture and Building Science, University of Nairobi, 2011)In her century of existence, Nairobi has served as a laboratory of various housing strategies targeting the indigenous Africans and the poor. Discriminated based on racial segregation during colonisation, the poor have ... -
Experimental modelling of axial temperature profiles of buoyant diffusion flames
(1987)Mean temperatures were measured along the axis of propane gas flames using a porous ceramic burner. Data for fire heat release rates ranging form 13.3kW to 30.6kW were taken and analyzed. It was found that the lower zone ... -
An Experimental Prototype For Low Head Small Hydro Power Generation Using Hydram
(Electrical and Information Engineering, University of Nairobi, 2012)The global rise in energy demand has resulted to the over exploitation of both renewable and non renewable energy sources. Most feasible hydroelectric power (HEP) plants sites have been exploited and the current focus ... -
