Broadband quarter-wave plate based on dielectricembedded plasmonic metasurface
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017)High transmission plasmonic and all-dielectric metasurface wave plates have been reported in recent studies. However, narrow bandwidth and low polarization conversion need to be addressed to attain even better operation ... -
A Case for the Revision of Power Engineering Syllabi at Kenyan Universities
(2005)This paper presents a summary of the current status of Elec-trical Power Engineering Education at Kenyan universities,followed by a summary of the situation on the same at universities world-wide. Against a backdrop of ... -
Collaborating USSD Platform in Web-Based Student Registration
(Academia, 2016-09)The number of students joining universities is increasing fast congesting existing registration systems. Online registration with student web portals common in many institutions of learning was adapted to solve ... -
The Combined Contribution of Bus Voltage and Frequency of a High Voltage AC in Load Shedding
(2015)Load shedding schemes proposed in literature so far use voltage and frequency parameters separately. The individual consideration of these indices may not be reliable or effective, and may even lead to the over load shedding ... -
Combined Economic and Emission Dispatch Solution Using ABC_PSO Hybrid Algorithm with Valve Point Loading Effect
(International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, 2012)The problem of power system optimization has become a deciding factor in current power system engineering practice with emphasis on cost and emission reduction. The economic and emission dispatch problem has been addressed ... -
Combined Real and Reactive Power Economic Dispatch using Multi-Objective Reinforced Learning with Optimized Losses
(International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, 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 ... -
A combined sensitivity factor based GA-IPSO approach for system loss reduction and voltage profile enhancement
(International Journal of Innovative Research in Engineering & Science, 2013)Though several algorithms for optimizing DG location and size in a network with the aim of reducing system power losses and enhancing better voltage profile have already been proposed, they still suffer from several ... -
Comparative analysis of on-farm timber conversion systems in Kenya
(Journal of Horticulture and Forestry, 2013)Exploitation of trees on private farms in Kenya is mainly by chain, bench and pit sawing systems, whose efficiency has not been well established. The sawing systems were evaluated for their performance using three species: ... -
Comparative Study of the Current Processes used by Insurance Companies and application of Block Chain Technology on Business Performance in Kenya
(International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR), 2020)The insurance industry has been engaging in numerous processes which are characterized by the exchange of data updated by multiple parties, they have ramped up investments in their digital agenda to be at par with other ... -
Comparison of PMF and LEAF as Optical Fibre Stress and Temperature Sensing Elements
(2013)We experimentally investigate the sensitivity of PMF and LEAF fibre. The design of a stress sensor gave the best sensitivity of 0.051 kg -1 while that of a temperature sensor, gave the best sensitivity of 0.181 0C1 -
The contribution of Framed Chainsaw System to Improvement of Sawn Timber Quality
(International Journal of Current Research, 2013)In this study, the effect of framed chain sawing system with optimized chain on timber size uniformity and surface roughness was analyzed and compared with the freehand chainsaw system and band saw as control. The surface ... -
