Exploring the use of Landsat imagery in monitoring chlorophyll-a and lake surface temperature in Lake Victoria
(Makerere University, 2018-08)
In Uganda, Lake Victoria is a livelihood of about 40 million people and a home to aquatic life. It is utilized for the different activities like tourism, industry, transport and fisheries. However, it contains substances ...
Population dynamics of fruit flies (diptera: tephritidae) in mango growing areas of Luwero and Wakiso Districts, Uganda.
(Makerere University, 2014-06)
Population dynamics of major fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) infesting mango orchards were monitored for 12 months using methyleugenol, trimedlure, terpinyl acetate and protein-baited traps in 2011 in Luwero and Wakiso ...
Isolation and identification of compounds from the leaves of Secamone africana (oliv.) bullock used locally to treat malaria
(2018)
Traditional medicine is an affordable and accessible source of primary health care for treatment of tropical diseases such as malaria. Malaria in developing tropical countries has been treated using preparations of traditional ...
Earthworms as alternative protein ingredient in poultry feed.
(Makerere University, 2018-03-01)
In poultry feed accounts for 70% of the total cost of production hence there is a need to have a high-quality and yet low cost feed. The protein sources used in poultry feeds (Rastrineobola argentea & soy beans) are also ...
How variation of turbidity of bleached oils characterizes purity oil and bleaching processes
(ARC, 2017)
Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms have always been developed using changes in absorbance of oils. In this study we have investigated use of changes in turbidity of oils to assess bleaching efficiency and develop Freundlich ...
The quality and characteristics of cotton and sunflower oil bleached using clays from Iliri, in North Eastern Uganda
(European Centre for Research Training and Development UK, 2017)
Bleaching is known to alter the composition of edible oils as it removes
impurities and certain food nutrients. The characteristics of bleached oil are strongly related
to type bleaching medium, temperature at which ...

L-band and VHF response to scintillation activity during the ascending phase of sunspot cycle 24 in the Equatorial Region of East African
(Makerere University, 2014-05)
Ionospheric scintillation is the rapid change in the phase and or the amplitude of a radio signal as it passes through small scale plasma density irregularities in the ionosphere. These scintillations, not only can they ...
Fixation of carbon dioxide into epoxides to form cyclic carbonates using silicate based catalysts
(Makerere University, 2018-11)
This study aimed at developing silicate based catalytic systems for the fixation of carbon dioxide (CO2) into epoxides to form cyclic carbonates. Catalytic activity of selected naturally occurring silicates including: ...
A mathematical model for the transmission dynamics and optimal control strategy of Coffee Wilt disease
(2018-10-18)
The main objective of this study was to formulate a mathematical model for the transmission dynamics and optimal control strategy of coffee wilt disease (CWD) in Uganda. A deterministic model for the transmission dynamics ...
