Advanced manufacturing technology adoption in manufacturing companies in Kenya
(2015)
Over the past few decades, manufacturing has evolved from a more labor-intensive set of mechanical processes to a sophisticated
set of information based technology processes. With the existence of various advanced ...
Optimized Routing and Component Placement to Improve the Continuity And Uniformity of the PCBPIFL Antenna’s Co-Planar Ground Plane to Achieve an Overall Improved Antenna Performance
(2015)
A ground plane forms the other half for quarter wave PCB antennas. Integration of these type of
antennas with other components within the same PCB of a mobile device compromise the uniformity and continuity of
the ground ...

This paper presents a review of techniques usedin recent published works on optimal sizing of hybrid renewable energy sources.
Hybridization of renewable energy sources is an emergent promising trend born out of the need ...
Computational Approach to Investigation of Crack Behaviour under Vehicular Loading of A Typical Concrete Pavement (A Case Study of Mbagathi Road in Nairobi)
(2015)
Nairobi County has nearly 100% road network as bituminous roads and only 4km road
network (Mbagathi Road) is concrete road. This road was a pilot project that was implemented
by Kenyan Government between the years 2005 ...
Environmental implications of high metal content in soils of a titanium mining zone in Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Mining activities contribute to an increase of specific metal contaminants in soils. This may adversely affect plant life and consequently impact on animal and human health. The objective of this study was to obtain the ...
Optimization of the Angle of Frog in Mouldboard Tillage Operations in Sandy Clay Soil
(2015)
This paper investigated the effect of three independent variables including: tillage speed (ranges of below 2.5 m/s and between 2.5 m/s and 5 m/s), tillage depth (range of 10 cm from 0 cm to 30 cm) and frog angle (30° 40°, ...
