Adsorption behavior of acid-leached clays in bleaching of oil
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015)
The available data have shown that acid-leached clays had sites for adsorption of impurities in oils.
Data obtained on residual impurities in cotton and sunflower-seed oils bleached with the same
clay materials produced ...
Using trace metals, peroxide, acid and iodine values to characterize oils bleached using clays from Central and Eastern Uganda
(2014)
The decrease in content of iron in the bleached oils was highest for all oils bleached. The content of copper showed the smallest change. The decrease in copper content for palm oils decreased from 0.2ppm to 0.1ppm when ...
Upgrading and characterization of smectite from selected volcanic sediments of Eastern Uganda
(2015)
Natural clays occur as mixtures of many clay minerals and remains of the rocks that underwent diagenesis to yield the clays. As weathering of clay soils never ceases it may not be possible to mine single clay minerals. The ...
The elemental, mineralogical, IR, DTA and XRD analyses characterized clays and clay minerals of Central and Eastern Uganda
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015)
The results on the elemental and mineralogical compositions of clays from Central Uganda differed
from those from the volcanic sediments of the Mt. Elgon in Eastern Uganda. Utilisation of the
two types of clays should ...
Fuel value indices of fuelwood species and accuracy of K-nearest neighbour technique in woody biomass estimation in Masindi and Nebbi Districts, Uganda
(Makerere University, 2015-11)
Biomass is still the major energy source in developing countries like Uganda. This implies that prioritizing high fuel potential fuelwood species and routine monitoring of stocks is paramount. This study identified ten ...
Effect of municipal effluent on the water quality of Pece Stream and on selected vegetables along its shoreline in Gulu Town, Northern Uganda
(2016-09-20)
The restoration of peace in Northern Uganda has caused a rapid population growth in Gulu Municipality, which in turn has elevated anthropogenic pollution over the recent past. Pece stream being the only drainage system in ...
Polymorphisms of selected genes coding for antigens of theileria parva circulating in cattle in Southwestern Uganda
(Makerere University, 2015-10)
Theileria parva is a tick-borne apicomplexan haemoprotozoan parasite of cattle which is by far the most pathogenic and economically significant Theileria species in Eastern, Central and Southern Africa. It causes an acute ...
The political and institutional dimensions of agricultural extension reform process in Uganda: Experiences of the National Agricultural Advisory Services
(Makerere University, 2014)
Agricultural extension reforms initiated in the 1990s were an offshoot of a global movement for reforming the national extension systems in developing countries, which started late in the twentieth century, an era characterized ...

(Makerere University, 2015-10)
Tuberculosis is a historic infectious disease of serious public health importance accounting for about 25% of all avoidable adult death in poor countries. Tuberculosis continues to be a serious public health threat in Ghana ...
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 ...
