Loading and mobility of faecal and chemical contaminants to shallow groundwater: evidence from Lukaya Town, Central Uganda
(Makerere University, 2022-07)
Shallow groundwater and on-site sanitation systems (OSS) feature centrally in most low income countries pursuing United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) by 2030. This study assessed the shallow hydrogeological ...
Interpretation of structural domains beneath Lake Edward- George basin, Southern Uganda from seismic data
(Makerere University, 2022-05-10)
The recent oil and gas discoveries in Uganda particularly in the Albertine Graben have made the country one of the economically potential hydrocarbon provinces in the world thus causing an increased exploration of new areas ...
The Morphic property in modules and near-rings
(2022-08-22)
We introduce and study weakly-morphic modules and their properties. In particular, we show that a finitely generated $\Bbb Z$-module is weakly-morphic if and only if it is finite. Hence a finitely generated Abelian ...
Analysis of x-ray characteristics of narrow line Seyfert 1 Galaxies from nuclear spectroscopic telescope array data
(Makerere University, 2022)
Narrow line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies are among the most variable active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the sky. Hard X-ray spectral and timing analysis of two of these galaxies, NGC 4051 and ARK 564, using NuSTAR data is ...
Contributions to reduced rank modelling with applications to small area estimation
(Makerere University, 2021-08)
This dissertation focuses on the problem of decomposing residuals in the GMANOVAMANOVA models with rank restrictions on parameters with applications in small area estimation.
Firstly, residuals in the GMANOVA-MANOVA model ...
A mathematical model for dynamic stochastic asset liability management of Uganda's retirement benefit schemes
(Makerere University, 2022-11-03)
models are well established decision tools for pension funds. They are commonly modelled as multi-stage, where a target terminal funding ratio is required, whereas at intermediate time periods, constraints on funding ratio ...
Occurrence, eco-toxicological risk assessment, sorption and degradation of selected emerging organic chemical pollutants in water and sediments of Lake Victoria, Uganda
(Makerere University, 2021-03)
The occurrence of emerging chemical pollutants (ECPs) including; 25 pharmaceuticals, 11 personal care products, 6 plasticizers and 8 organophosphorus flame retardants was investigated in water and sediment samples collected ...
Evaluating the shielding properties of selected building materials used in Kampala, Uganda for gamma radiation
(Makerere University, 2021-04)
Humans are continuously exposed to ionizing radiation. For high ionizing radiation levels, shielding is needed to mitigate unwanted exposure. In this study, Shielding properties of selected local building materials used ...
Diagnostic Reference Levels For Common Computed Tomography Examinations In Adult Patients, Kampala- Uganda
(Makerere University, 2022-12-12)
The aim of this study was to estimate the computed tomography (CT) dose levels for common examinations in Kampala. Dose data and scan parameters for the most commonly performed procedures were surveyed during a five-month ...
