Performance of Block Codes Using the Eigenstructure of the Code Correlation Matrix and Soft-Decision Decoding of BPSK
(2009)A method is presented for obtaining the error probability for block codes. The method is based on the eigenvalue- eigenvector properties of the code correlation matrix. It is found that under a unary transformation and ... -
Performance of Crushed Coconut Shell Dual Media Filter Paper.
(2004)The high cost of conventional building materials is a major factor affecting housing delivery in Nigeria. This has necessitated research into alternative materials of construction. This paper presents the results of an ... -
Performance of EcoSanitary Toilets in Kenya
(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: ... -
Performance of ma-spatial modulation: information theoretic criteria over correlated Rayleigh fading channels
(University of Nairobi, 2016)In this study, symbol error probability of tra nsmitted modulation signals for a single-input – multiple-output system is used to derive overall average bit error probab ility (ABEP) of multiple active-spatial modulation ... -
Phase Transitions of Antiferroelectric Lead Zirconate Thin Films in High Electric Fields
(1996)Phase transitions in antiferroelectric lead zirconate thin films were studied at room temperature and at 77 K. The lead zirconate films were prepared on Pt coated Si substrates by a reactive magnetron co-sputtering mthod ... -

Physical Properties of Crude Oil from Cape Chestnut (Calendrum capense)
(2001)Physical properties of crude oil from cape chestnut (Calendendrum capense) were determined. The effects of temperature and methods of extraction on some of the properties were analysed. The density of the oil decreased ... -
Pixe analysis of trace elements in tissues of rats treated with anticonvulsants
(1987)Several lines of evidence implicate metals in epilepsy. Anticonvulsant drugs are noted to alter levels of metals in humans and animals. PIXE analysis was used to investigate effects of three anticonvulsant drugs on tissue ... -

Planning For Agro-Industries in Kinangop Sub-County, Nyandarua County – Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2022)Agro-industries catalyse rural development in areas with abundant agricultural raw materials, making these industries popular in poverty reduction. These industries create demand for inputs in the farm from other sectors, ... -
Planning for Non-Motorized Transport as a Sustainable Transport System in Nairobi
(1994)The current pattern of metropolitan transportation and land development in the majority of countries around the world appears to be increasingly unsustainable from both an economical and environmental perspective. Many ... -

PLZT Phases near Lead Titanate. I. Determination by X-ray Diffraction
(2005)The room temperature phase diagram of PLZT, (Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O3, or L/Z/T for L<12 and T<10 was constructed using X-ray diffraction patterns of sintered and crushed PLZT material. The orthorhombic antiferroelectric phase, a ... -
PLZT Phases Near Lead Zirconate: 2. Determination by Capacitance and Polarization
(Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Nairobi, 2006)The phases of PLZT, (Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O3, or L/Z/T for L<12 and T<10 were detected via determination of capacitance at varying temperatures at 0 field and via polarization at varying fields at room temperature and at selected ... -
Poisoning of Sulfate Reductions with Molybdenum in Anaerobic Reactors Fed Glucose
(1990)Several researchers have used molybdate (MoO42−) for the selective inhibition of sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB) in anaerobic digestion. The feasibility of using MoO42− for the control of sulphate reduction in biological ... -
The political ecology of water commercialization in Kenya
(Urban and regional planning, University of Nairobi, 2007)Water is an essential commodity for human life. It is also a political and environmental good. The latter attribute makes it a suitable candidate for analysis in the context of political ecology. This is what this paper ... -
