ASSESSMENT OF GROUNDWATER QUALITY IN URBAN AND PERI-URBAN AREAS OF WEBUYE MUNICIPALITY, BUNGOMA COUNTY KENYA
(MMUST, 2023)Population growth in urban areas has led to increased occupancy on small pieces of land, where occupants develop groundwater sources, onsite sanitation systems, composting sites and gardens on small pieces of land. This ... -
CO-DIGESTION OF A MIXTURE OF COW DUNG AND MAIZE STALK RESIDUES AND ITS INFLUENCE ON BIOGAS PRODUCTION
(REUBEN KIRWA TUM, 2024-11) -
DETERMINATION OF COMBUSTION PROPERTIES OF BLENDED BRIQUETTES OF SAWDUST, MAIZE STALKS, AND COFFEE HUSKS
(MMUST, 2025-11)The tea industry in Kericho is among the main consumers of firewood for its intensive thermal energy demand used in industrial steam boilers. Concerns over firewood depletion have led tea producers to switch to alternate ... -
DEVELOPING A CONCRETE MIX DESIGN FOR A SIMULATED AGGRESSIVE ACIDIC SEWER ENVIRONMENT USING RICE HUSK ASH AS AN ADMIXTURE
(2023-11)When sewage flows through closed concrete pipes, sulphuric acid (H2SO4) generated from the sewage interacts with elements of concrete leading it to corrode. This leads to reduced durability and reduction of lifetime of ... -
EFFECT OF BLENDING SAND FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES ON COMPRESIVE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE 'CASE STUDY OF WESTERN KENYA
(2023-11)which exhibit different formation process. Previous research has extensively examined sand properties according to standards such as BS 812 and KS-02-21. However, limited information is available concerning the blending ... -
EFFECT OF CONSTITUENT MATERIALS ON THE QUALITY OF CONCRETE: A CASE OF MATERIALS IN KAKAMEGA COUNTY, KENYA
(2023)The role of the quality of concrete in structural applications cannot be overemphasized. Quality of concrete in terms of workability, compressive strength and durability is influenced majorly by the properties and mix ... -
EFFECT OF GLASS POWDER ON DURABILITY PERFORMANCE OF HARDENED CONCRETE IN AGGRESSIVE ENVIRONMENT
(MMUST, 2025-10)Concrete structures exposed to aggressive environment such as sewer water, sea fronts, drains among others are susceptible to abrasion, chemical seepage among other factors that lead to its deterioration. To mitigate ... -
EFFECT OF HUMAN ACTIVITIES ON GROUNDWATER QUALITY IN RURAL AND PERI-URBAN AREAS: A CASE OF KANDUYI SUB-COUNTY, BUNGOMA COUNTY, KENYA
(2023-11)Human activities and land use changes stand as the primary drivers of groundwater pollution, a consequence of growth in population, urban expansion, and heightened demand for farming and the escalated application of ... -
EFFECTS OF EXTERNAL TRADE SHOCKS ON ECONOMIC GROWTH IN KENYA
(MMUST, 2024-10) -
EFFECTS OF LAND COVER ON GROUNDWATER DYNAMICS IN MIDDLE YALA CATCHMENT, KENYA
(MMUST, 2024-10)Groundwater depletion is on an increasing trend. Soil moisture content plays a major role in plant growth, nutrient transport, and oxygen balance. Assessment of soil water balance is crucial for understanding water ... -
MACHINE LEARNING BASED SPECTRUM SENSING FOR INTERFERENCE REDUCTION IN 5G COGNITIVE RADIO NETWORKS
(MMUST, 2025-09)The rapid increase in global population has driven a surge in users of radio technology, leading to a shortage of available frequency spectrum for wireless systems. To optimize the use of limited spectrum, secondary ... -
OPTIMAL SIZING AND ANALYSIS OF A SUSTAINABLE SOLAR PHOTO VOLTAIC-BIOMASS HYBRID ENERGY SYSTEM FOR LEARNING INSTITUTIONS
(MMUST, 2025-08)Access to quality energy is a necessity for the growing world. There is an increasing demand for clean and quality energy due to the ever-growing world population and development of new technologies. However, energy ... -
OPTIMIZATION OF BIOGAS PURIFICATION USING WATER-SCRUBBING TECHNOLOGY FOR ENHANCED GAS QUALITY
(MMUST, 2025-11)Biogas has been found to be a green source of power. It consists majorly of methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and water vapour. Use of biogas has never reached its potential with the problem ... -
OPTIMIZATION OF HYBRID CYCLONE IN REDUCTION OF PARTICULATE FLY ASH IN SUGAR INDUSTRIES IN KENYA
(MMUST, 2024-10)The sugar industry in Kenya faces growing environmental and regulatory pressure due to fly ash emissions from bagasse-fired boilers. Traditional single-stage cyclone separators currently employed in these facilities ... -
