Voltage stability analysis using CP_ANN and optimized capacitor bank placement
(2010)
Voltage Stability refers to the ability of power system to maintain steady voltage at all buses in the system after being subjected to a disturbance from a given initial operating condition. In this paper, the IEEE 30-bus ...
A new species of Tarabulida (Solifugae: Daesiidae) from Kenya, with the first complete description of a male of the genus
(Bio One, 2010)
We describe a new species of Tarabulida Roewer 1933 from Kenya. This genus was previously known from only two species (Tarabulida ephippiata Roewer 1933 and Tarabulida fumigata Roewer 1933) from Libya, which were described ...
Survey of sweet potato viruses in Western Kenya and detection of cucumber mosaic virus
(Journal of Plant Pathology, 2010)
Sweet potato is an important food crop worldwide, but several pests and diseases limit its production. In eastern Africa, virus-induced diseases rank second to weevils in causing yield reduction. Symptomatic sweet potato ...
Development of a multiplex PCR technique for simultaneous detection of sweet potato feathery mottle virus and sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus
(Edizioni ETS Pisa, 2010)
Virus diseases, especially those caused by mixed infections, are among the economically most devastating diseases of sweet potato. Sweet potato virus disease (SPVD), which is caused by mixed infection of Sweet potato ...
Suitability of aggregation methods of induction motor models for transient stability load modeling of Kenya power transmission and distribution system
(2010)
Current trend indicate that there has been increase on power outage frequency. This has partly been as a result of unstable power system with very small security margin of operation. Therefore, this paper focusses on the ...
Nutritional quality and physicochemical properties of Mucuna bean (Mucuna pruriens L.) protein isolates
(2010)
The potential for mucuna bean protein isolate (MBPI) application as functional ingredient in foods is unknown. In this study nutritional quality and physicochemical properties of MBPI were investigated. Bean samples were ...
The challenges of rehabilitating denuded patches of a semi-arid environment in Kenya
(2010)
Land degradation is a major problem in the semi-arid environments of Sub-Saharan Africa. Fighting land degradation is essential to ensure the sustainable and long-term productivity of the habited semiarid lands. In Kenya, ...
Short term voltage stability analysis of an aggregated industrial load
(2010)
Environmental constraints have limited expansion of transmission line networks. And with
Power systems being operated close to their security limits, the likelihood of voltage collapses
Occurring has increased [1]. In ...
