A review of multi-objective methods for optimal location and capacity of distributed generations in modern power systems
(2017)Penetration of distributed generation (DG) units in distribution system has increased rapidly stimulated by reduced network power loss, improved bus voltage profile and better power quality. Appropriate location and capacity ... -
Review of policies and frameworks on climate change, agriculture, food and nutrition security in Ethiopia
(2020-07)Agriculture is the mainstay of Ethiopia’s economy, contributing over 50% of the gross domestic product (GDP), accounting for more than 85% of the labor force and over 90% of the foreign exchange earnings (Alemu et al. ... -
Review of policies and frameworks on climate change, agriculture, food and nutrition security in Rwanda
(2020-09)Rwanda is a small landlocked country in East-Central Af-rica and one of the world’s most densely populated coun-tries. Average rainfall in Rwanda is around 1000 mm per annum, with the annual temperature ranging from 16°C ... -
Review of policies and frameworks on climate change, agriculture, food and nutrition security in Uganda
(2020-08)Uganda is facing climate variability and change more frequently than ever. This is observed through changing temperature patterns—often linked to more frequent and longer periods of drought spells that lead to significant ... -
A Review of Security Techniques against Black Hole Attacks in Mobile Ad hoc Networks
(IEEE, 2019-05)Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a special type of a wireless network formed by nodes that communicate without any fixed infrastructure or centralised management. Nodes in MANET act as a router and a host. These nodes are ... -
The ‘romance’ of mining in light of tourism: A case study of soapstone in Tabaka, Kisii County, Kenya
(Association for Tourism and Leisure Education, 2015)Mineral products are at the core of today’s civilized world that we live in. The manufacturing sector, the high technology industries and even the resource industries are all dependent, in one way or the other on the mining ... -
Shore to ship power for Mombasa port possibilities and challenges
(2016)Control of air pollution from docked ships is one challenge that ports encounter in their effort to reduce operational environmental impact. Ship-to-shore power has been identified as one technology to reduce emissions by ... -
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 ... -
