Livestock farmers in Kenya face a number of challenges such as diseases and the inability to accurately identify oestrus and calving windows. These factors hinder productivity and lead to high livestock mortalities. Precision ...

The best accuracy of multiclass max-win-voting SVM with Gaussian radial basis function (RBF) depends on optimal parameter selection; sigma (σ) and box constraint (C). Accuracy is the most important measure to evaluate the ...

Kenya is a country with a fast deployment of photovoltaic (PV) systems. The fast deployment of this technology is due to the continuous decrease in the prices of the PV components, the abundance of the solar resource, as ...

With the ever-growing energy demand and coupled with the issues of reliability. Microgrids powered by distributed conventional and renewable energy sources can be utilized to address this problem. Hybrid energy sources ...

The use of solar energy for cooking offers an alternative source of energy to the high cost of petroleum products and the diminishing wood fuel products for cooking and heating applications. Kenya is located on the equator ...

An improved version of the immune inspired optimizer SILO is presented in this paper. The new model identification method allows for utilization of model gains constraints. Moreover the operation of a new Transition State ...

Kenya is on the path of developing domestic renewable energy resources to reduce the overdependence on imported petroleum products and reduce carbon emissions. Presently, Kenya has increased the renewable energy penetration ...

In the two past decades, the discrete element method (DEM) has been used to model the grinding mill and grinding media motion in mineral processing industries. There have been many different discrete element method models ...

Igneous rocks are naturally occurring materials which continue to evolve from a molten state (magma) through cooling processes. The solid materials that evolve are often crystalline compounds known as minerals. Magmatic ...

Power systems consist of four important segments namely, generation, transmission, distribution and utilization. Each of these segments require to be planned and operated securely in order to maintain a given frequency and ...
