Measurement and modeling of residual stress in porcelain tiles formulated from different quartz particle sizes in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2021-06)
Quartz plays a significant role in physicomechanical properties of tiles, because it is the most abundant crystalline phase present in a fired product. The use of quartz particle size that exceeds 32 µm can be detrimental ...
Design of a water purification technology for the removal of Iron, Manganese, and Escherichia coli from ground water supply of Oruchinga Refugee Settlement Communities
(Makerere University, 2022)
The present study investigated the levels of iron, manganese, and E. coli in the boreholes and shallow wells waters of the Oruchinga valley refugee camp. A multi-stage filter technology was designed for the removal of total ...
Phytochemical profiling, optimization of extraction and application of natural dyes from selected indigenous plants in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2023-01-30)
Globally, textile dyeing with natural dyes (NatD) reduced tremendously with the introduction of synthetic dyes in the mid 19th Century. Later studies reported that the use of synthetic dyes is not eco-safe and cause human ...
Stress tensor inversion using focal mechanisms of earthquakes recorded in the Rwenzori Region, Albertine Rift System
(Makerere University, 2023-05-12)
The goal of this study is to determine the regional stress tensor in the Rwenzori region using the fault plane solutions. Rwenzori region is located in Uganda and an integral part of East African Rift System. The research ...
