Heterogeneous biocatalysts for production of biodiesel from waste vegetable oil and effect of crude glycerol on combustion properties of briquettes
(Makerere University, 2017)
The conversion of spent vegetable oils into biodiesel using biocatalysts provides both environment friendly and also innovative ways to manage wastes that would otherwise end in the environment. This study explored the use ...
Response of amphibian communities to forest degradation in Mabira Central Forest Reserve, Uganda
(Makerere University, 2017)
The relationship between amphibian diversity and forest degradation was evaluated in Mabira Forest Reserve, Central Uganda. To achieve this, the study area was classified into three forest categories (i.e. degraded, ...
Amphibian diversity patterns in the Namulonge agricultural landscape
(Makerere University, 2017)
Uganda’s agricultural landscapes are patterns of cultivated areas and semi-natural elements. Although comprising only a small fraction of the total area, semi-natural elements provide habitats for most of the landscape ...
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 ...
Abundance and some aspects of breeding biology of African Catfish (Clariasgariepinus) in Kafu Riverine wetland
(Kikonyogo, F.E. (2017). Abundance and some aspects of breeding biology of African Catfish (Clariasgariepinus) in Kafu Riverine wetland. Unpublished masters dissertation. Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda., 2017)
Various studies on the ecology and biology of Clarias gariepinus have been carried out elsewhere by different scholars but not specific to Kafu Riverine wetland, because of its intraspecific ecological variations, fisheries ...
