Molecular Characterization of Low Density Poly-ethene (LDPE) degrading bacteria and fungi from Dandora dumpsite
(2018)This study aimed at molecular and biochemical characterization of Low Density Poly-ethene (LDPE) degrading fungi and bacteria from Dandora dumpsite-Nairobi. Twenty bacterial and 10 fungal isolates were identified using 16S ... -
Multi Area Multi Objective Dynamic Economic Dispatch with Renewable Energy and Multi Terminal DC Tie Lines
(2016)In this paper, an improved wheeling method (IWM) for a fully constrained five –area multi area multi objective dynamic economic dispatch (MAMODED) with renewable energy(RE) is proposed where the area interconnections is ... -
Multi Objective Dynamic Economic Dispatch with Renewable Energy and HVDC Transmission Lines
(2016)HVDC systems have recently found increasing importance in integration of Renewable energy (RE) into the grid for they provide long distance bulk power transmission by overhead lines with various economic advantages. The ... -
A Pressure Wave Theory For a Transient Drawdown in an Unconfined Aquifer
(2018)Previous observations indicate that when an unconfined aquifer is pumped at a constant rate, the drawdown-time curve exhibits a three-segment graph; a steep early time segment, a flatter intermediate segment and a somehow ... -
Role of Farmers’ Personal Values in Soil Fertility Management Decisions: Evidence from Means-End Chain Analysis of Peri-urban Leafy Vegetable Production in Kenya
(2012)Peri-urban areas play a major role in the supply of vegetables consumed in urban areas. In order to meet high demand for aesthetic quality characteristics, peri-urban farmers use intensive production practices characterized ... -
Shocks, livestock assets and climate change adaptation in Kenya
(2013)The study assesses the impact of shocks on livestock and the role of adaptation to climate change in protecting assets from weather shocks. Data collection relied on a mixed-method approach, including household surveys ... -
Short Term Load Forecasting Using Artificial Neural Network
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2007)This paper presents a method of short term load forecasting using artificial neural network (ANN). A three layered feed-forward neural network, trained by scaled conjugate back-propagation, is used. Two models of ANN were ... -
Simultaneous Consideration of Bus Voltage and Frequency in Load Shedding in a High Voltage AC Network
(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 ... -
Solution to Economic Load Dispatch using Particle Swarm Optimization
(2014)This paper proposes to determine the feasible optimal solution of the economic load dispatch power systems problem using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) considering various generator constraints. The objective of the ... -
Stability Analysis of a Multi Area System with Renewable Energy and Multi -Terminal DC Tie Lines
(Journal of Power and Energy Engineering, 2018)Security constrained multi area multi objective dynamic economic dispatch (SCMAMODED) with renewable energy (RE) and all the possible MTDC stability constraints is formulated for the first time. The stability merits of ... -
Suborbital graphs corresponding to permutation representation of PGL(2, q)
(2018)In this paper we construct Suborbital graphs for PGL(2,q) acting on the cosets of Cq-1 and analyze their properties. We established that the number of self paired suborbits is q + 2 and the paired suborbit are 2. Also ... -
A VCSEL- based backbone extended-reach optical fibre network: Supporting up to 10 Gbs flexible access networks for Africa
(2018)In this paper, using vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) and Raman amplification, a low power consuming, energy-efficient and cheap technique to transmit high speed data signals over optical fibre is ... -
Voltage Stability Improvement Using the 21st Centur y Power Transformer
(Innovative Systems Design and Engineering, 2012)The 21st Century Power Transformer is produced by combining modern high voltage cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cable technology with conventional transformer. The technique of solid insulation is adopted in the new dry ... -
