Earth System Governance in Africa: knowledge and capacity needs
(University of Nairobi, 2015-06)
Traditional approaches for understanding environmental governance — such as environmental policy analysis or natural resources management — do not adequately address the gamut of human–natural system interactions within ...
Combined Real and Reactive Power Economic Dispatch using Multi-Objective Reinforced Learning with Optimized Losses
(2015)
Most of the economic dispatch (ED) works so far deal with real power dispatch only. With the integration of renewable
energy into the grid, reactive power dispatch cannot be ignored any longer due to its importance in ...
Numerical Study Of County Solid Waste Management At The Dumpsite
(2015)
This study presents the development of one
dimensional mathematical model capab
le of simulating
simultaneous processes of oxygen flow. It is based on some
assumptions like the dumpsite ...
A Hierarchical Multilayer Service Composition Model for Global Virtual Organizations
(2015)
A major benefit of service composition is the ability to support agile global collaborative virtual organizations. However, being global in nature, collaborative virtual organizations can have several virtual industry ...
Determining break down of hydrocarbons in effluent discharges from petroleum service stations
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
The study sought to find out how hydrocarbons are broken down in effluent from petrol stations by the existing bacteria in the
effluent. This was established by collecting samples from two petrol station interceptors and ...
An Optimal Eigenvalue Based Spectrum Sensing Algorithm for Cognitive Radio
(2015)
Spectrum is a scarce resource, and licensed spectrum is intended to be used only by the spectrum owners.
Various measurements of spectrum utilization have shown unused resources in frequency, time and space.
Cognitive ...
Distributed transmit-power control in cognitive radio networks using a hybrid-adaptive game-theoretic technique
(2015)
This paper studies game-theoretic distributed transmit-power control in a cognitive radio network. It presents a hybrid-adaptive algorithm that interfaces Iterative Water-Filling with two learning algorithms: the Hedging ...
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 ...
