On The Estimation Of Global Solar Insolation
(University of Nairobi, 1983)A curve suitable for estimation of global solar energy insolation in equatorial regions has been generated from humidity considerations using an empirical “universal” formula and experimental solar insolation data recorded ... -
Optical and electrical properties of Pd doped Sn02 thin films deposited by spray pyrolysis
(University of Nairobi, 2013)Thin films of Sn02: Pd have been deposited on glass substrate at 450°C using an alcoholic precursor solution consisting of Tin (IV) Chloride (SnCl4.5H20) and Palladium Chloride (PdCl2). The influence of increasing Pd ... -
The seismicity of Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1988)The Kenya Rift Valley, part of the East African Rift System, which extends from Lake Turkana in the north to Lake Magadi in the south, is seismically active. It is surprisingly free of teleseismic events compared to the ... -
Organic binders to enhance fuel efficiency of charcoal (Jikos) and in water filters
(University of Nairobi, 2013-12)This work presents experimental and theoretical study of the effect of a plant bidder (corchirus olitorius) on the thermal shock resistance and thermal con: of kaolinite-based refractories. Shock-induced crack growth, ... -
Simulation of Air Pollution-Related Health Impacts and Vulnerability Assessment of Future Climate over Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2014-02)Air pollution has intensified strongly since the industrial revolution. Studies clearly show that air quality has deteriorated on both global and regional scales. In parallel evidence that air pollution affect human health ... -
Confounding Effect of Weather and Outdoor Particulate Matter on Asthma Incidence over Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2008)Abstract Asthma is a major cause of chronic morbidity and mortality throughout the world. There is evidence that its prevalence has increased considerably over the past 20 years. It is estimated that 300 million individuals ... -
ENSO Episodes and its Impacts on Seasonal Rainfall Characteristics with Reference to Crop Production in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2008)EI Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) plays an important role in the interannual variability of rainfall in Kenya. The effects of ENSO on the seasonal rainfall characteristics were investigated. The seasonal rainfall ... -

Crustal Structure Beneath The Kenya Rift From Axial Profile Data
(University of Nairobi, 1994-09)Modelling of the KRISP 90 axial line data shows that major crustal thinning occurs along the axis of the Kenya Rift from Moho depths of 35 km in the south beneath the Kenya Dome in the vicinity of Lake Naivasha to 20 km ... -
Optical properties of TiO2 based multilayer thin films
(University of Nairobi, 2012)Dielectric thin films of TiO2 have found many applications in various areas such as antireflective coatings, optical filters and photocatalysis among others. Optimization of material combinations and. coating conditions ... -
A Model For The Structure, Composition And Evolution Of The Kenya Rift
(University of Nairobi, 1997-09)The seismic refraction-wide-angle reflection experiments carried out in 1985 and 1990 in the Kenya rift (KRISP '85 and KRISP '90) show major crustal thickness variations both along and across the rift. Along the rift axis ... -
