How far are developing countries from the call of ecological tax reform? A review of environmental fiscal policy for Kenya
(Urban and regional planning, University of NairobiUniversity of Westminster, Marylebone Campus Rm. 221, 35 Marylebone Rd, London NW1 5LS, UK., 2006)The main objective of this paper is to determine whether the ecological tax reform paradigm that hitherto is employed by a section of industrialised countries as an instrument of environmental management has potential ... -
How reliable are cylinder infiltrometers in determining the infiltration characteristic of a soil?
(1994)A number of methods are discussed for obtaining a reasonable estimate of the infiltration function for irrigation borders. Data from ring infiltrometers are fit to power functions for infiltration rate and cumulative ... -

A Hybrid Finite Element/Moment Method For Solving Electromagnetic Radiation Problem Of Arbitrarily-Shaped Apertures In A Thick Conducting Screen
(Electrical and Information Engineering, University of Nairobi, 2004)In this paper a hybrid numerical technique is presented for characterization of the transmission properties of a three-dimensional slot in a thick conducting plane. The slot is of arbitrary shape and is excited by an ... -
Hybrid Method Analysis Of Electromagnetic Transmission Through Apertures Of Arbitrary Shape In A Thick Conducting Scree
(Electrical and Information Engineering, University of Nairobi, 2004)In this paper a hybrid numerical technique is presented, suitable for analyzing transmission properties of an arbitrarily shaped slot in a thick conducting plane. The slot is excited by an electromagnetic source of arbitrary ... -
A Hybrid MOM/FDTD Formulation for EMC/EMI Problems Of Metallic Enclosures with Apertures
(2010)The fast current transients which characterize the operation of high speed switching electronic devices cause undesirable electromagnetic emissions to be generated. These unwanted emissions can interfere with the operation ... -
