Cassava chips quality as influenced by cultivar, blanching time and slice thickness
(2016)
Cassava forms part of diets in Kenya with both the roots and leaves being consumed as food. The short shelf-life of 72 hours and cyanogenic glucosides limit the extent of utilization. Currently, fried cassava chips and ...
Optimal error analysis of receive diversity schemes on arbitrarily correlated Rayleigh fading channels
(2016)
A simple optimal error analysis of multiple-branch equal gain combining (EGC) and selection combining (SC) in the presence of arbitrarily correlated Rayleigh fading channels is presented. It is shown that the error rates ...
Mapping stakeholder positions in the Kenyan land reform process
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
The debate on land reform in sub-Saharan Africa has moved from the purpose and direction of reforms to the reasons why proposed reforms are not being implemented. The literature shows that one of the reasons for failure ...
Water, sanitation conditions and implications for child survival in Kenya: A review of statistical evidence from the 1999 census of population
(2016)
Water supply and sanitation are important requisites for basic human needs and primary health care. Their inadequate provision has far reaching economic and humanitarian consequences. In Kenya this is well expressed in ...
Designing for informal contexts: a case study of Enkanini sanitation intervention
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Increasing social agency in the design profession corresponds to the call for greater participation of science in solving complex social problems. We analyse the complex problem of informal urban sanitation in the Enkanini ...
Banana pith as a natural coagulant for polluted river water
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Poorly managed urban runoff and wastewater collection systems contaminate surface water, making it necessary to treat the water before use in households. Coagulation and flocculation are essential components of the treatment ...
Performance of ma-spatial modulation: information theoretic criteria over correlated Rayleigh fading channels

Secure signal and space alamouti scheme
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
A method is proposed that secures the conventional Alamouti space-time block code against an eavesdropper by use of both signal and space rotations. Signal rotation is realized by applying a random rotation angle to the ...
