The Nigerian “Fence Culture
(2006)A fence is something with which virtually everyone is familiar. In everyday usage, the word is connotative of a barrier or at best, a delimiting phenomenon. More technically, it can be said to be a structure (of varying ... -
Nitrogen oxides, ozone and heavy metals analysis of suspended particulate matter (spm) of air in Nairobi, Kenya
(2001)Motor vehicle emissions are a major source of air pollution in most urban centers. In Kenya, Nairobi city has the highest traffic density and is therefore a particular cause for concern due to the poor maintenance standards ... -
Noise and Land Use Conflict: An Environmental Impact Study on Wilson Aerodrome, Nairobi, Kenya
(Department of Civil Enginnering, University of Nairobi, 1995) -
Non-compliance and formalisation: mutual accommodation in land subdivision processes in Eldoret, Kenya
(2006)Conflicts over land are central to Kenya's political economy. In particular, the displacement of indigenous inhabitants during the process of establishing settler agriculture and the association of dispossession and land ... -
Non-destructive analysis of Mercury(Hg) by Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) Technique in Beauty Creams sold in Kenya
(International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)Institute of Nuclear Science & Technology, University of Nairobi, 1996-11)Analysis of mercury(Hg) in 100 different beauty creams by energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence technique is described. Each sample was brought to a melt by warming on a water bath at 40-50°C, and then poured onto a 2.5 ... -
Non-destructive XRF analysis of Nigerian and Kenyan clays
(University of Nairobi, 1997-04)Nigerian and Kenyan clays were analysed using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) technique and thirteen elements (Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Br, Rb, Sr, Zr, Nb and Pb) were detected. The health implications, ... -
Non-invasive Intraoperative Imaging using Laser Radar System in Hip-joint Replacement Surgery
(2004)This paper explores the possibility of employing a non-invasive registration technique using a high resolution pulsed laser radar system as an intraopera tive imaging system in computer assisted hip-joint replacement ... -
A Non-invasive Registration Technique in Hip-joint Replacement Surgery Using Laser Radar Imaging
(2004)In this paper, we present a 3D imaging technique for computer-assisted hip-joint replacement surgery. It is based on a high resolution laser radar which uses powerful picosecond laser pulses, generated from low-cost ... -
Nonlinear mixed effect modelling for improved estimation of water retention and infiltration parameters
(2006)Accurate estimation of soil hydraulic functions is an important topic in soil physics and hydrology. Soil scientists and hydrologists use experimental data to derive parameters of the hydraulic functions, and when measurements ... -

The North-South Divide in urban patterns and the contradictions of using homogeneous instruments of planning:lessons from Kenya
(Africa Hbitat, 2020-02-20)Three development pathways characterize all urban societies in the world and, this, by necessity, result in different spatial patterns. The first pathway can be viewed as laissez faire, which produces informal or organic ... -
Note on the effect of cross-sensitivity in the determination
(University of Nairobi,, 1971)The concentric Mohr circles of modified apparent strain, true strain and stress permit quick visualisation and calculation of true strains and stresses from readings of gauges with known cross-sensitivities -
