Geodetic models for monitoring crustal deformation along the African Rift System
(2008)Continental rupture models emphasize the role of faults in extensional strain accommodation; extension by dyke intrusion is commonly overlooked. A major rifting episode that began in 2005 September in the Afar depression ... -
A model for the establishment of an integrated regional geodetic datum.
(1993)A model for the establishment of an integrated geodetic datum covering a region is treated. The integrated geodetic datum is understood here to comprise the geoid, the reference ellipsoid, and the positional coordinates. ... -
Presentation to the People of Kibera on Slum Upgrading. Case Study of Silanga Village
(2013)The growth of the urban population, which has resulted from both natural population growth and rural- urban migration, has led to an increased demand for resources required to meet the consequent demand for infrastructure ... -
Data Flow and Buffer Management in a Multi-Channel Data Link Controller
(1999)The paper discusses the data flow and buffer management for an integrated ASIC performing the High Level Data Link Control (HDLC) protocol processing functions for large number of multi-rate (nx64Kbps) and/or sub-rate ... -
System Overflow/Blocking Transients For Queues with Batch Arrivals Using a Family of Polynomials Resembling Chebyshev Polynomials
(2009)The paper shows that in the analysis of a queuing system with fixed-size batch arrivals, there emerges a set of polynomials which are a generalization of Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind. The paper uses these ... -
Frame and Burst Acquisition in TDMA Satellite Communication Networks with Transponder Hopping
(2009)The paper presents frame and burst acquisition in a satellite communication network based on time division multiple access (TDMA) in which the transmissions may be carried on different transponders. A unique word pattern ... -
BIP-Based Alarm Declaration and Clearing in SONET Networks Employing Automatic Protection Switching
(2009)The paper examines the performance of bit-interleaved parity (BIP) methods in error rate monitoring, and in declaration and clearing of alarms in those transport networks that employ automatic protection switching (APS). ... -
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 ... -
Transient Analysis of a Single-Server Queue with Batch Arrivals Using Modeling and Functions Akin to the Modified Bessel Functions
(2009)The paper considers a single-server queue with fixed-size batch Poisson arrivals and exponential service times, a model that is useful for a buffer that accepts messages arriving as fixed size batches of packets and releases ... -
Engineering properties of common subgrade soils below pavement structures in Kenya
(2002)This paper reports findings of laboratory testing of common sub-grade soils in pavement structures in Kenya. The materials were collected from different parts of the country. The results are intended to form a database for ... -
The Missing Link: Spatial Information required in the preparation and implementation of Physical Development Plans in Kenya
(2001)Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Nairobi, Kenya. The relative bioavailabilities of three carbamazepine tablet formulations available in the Kenyan market (Temporal(R), Taver(R) and Carbamazepine ... -
An exploration into the creative potentials of glass using various kiln and decorative techniques to produce items for interior and exterior spaces
(2006)Bovine foscioliosis coused by F. giganticais widespread in There is a large collection of reports of fasciolosis in Kenya based on abattoir data records from veterinary investigation laboratories (VILS) as well as reports ... -
Black Carbon and total carbon measurements at urban and rural sites in Kenya, East Africa.
(2003)There have been very few studies in Kenya on aerosols despite the global demand on aerosol ground studies in the perspective of climate and the human well being. Therefore, atmospheric aerosol studies became the basis of ... -
Trace Element categorization of pollution sources in the Equator town of Nanyuki, Kenya
(2005)An air pollution campaign was carried out in the town of Nanyuki at four different sites during July and August 1999. Nanyuki is situated on the equator on the northwestern slope of Mount Kenya at about 1930 m above sea ... -

Assessment of criteria pollutants and NO in a typical urban aerosol in Africa.
(2007)Criteria pollutants have health implications that are not only of concern to the urban population but also to governments in formulating their policies. These pollutants are also important to climate change investigations ... -
Characterization of aerosol particles at an industrial background site in Nairobi, Kenya.
