The effect of using upgraded biogas on generator performance
(Makerere University, 2018-08)Uganda is experiencing an energy crisis especially in the agro processing subsector of the economy. This is partly due to the small distribution network of the generated hydroelectric power which makes it inaccessible by ... -
Assessment and modeling of grid related factors that influence quality of supply to industrial customers
(2018-11)Industrial development is directly linked to the growth of a country’s economy. As Uganda claims to approach middle income status by 2020, it was imperative to look at grid related factors that influence quality of supply ... -
Improvement of engineering properties of black cotton soil for road construction using PROBASE soil stabilizer
(Makerere University, 2018-04-23)Black cotton soils, also referred to as expansive soils expand when wet and shrinks when dry causing cracks which on re-wetting, bulks out and causes damage to structures built on them. Research conducted on black cotton ... -
Water movement control across organic primers for pavements
(Makerere University, 2018-09)In order to curtail vertical moisture movement through pavement layers, a layer of primer is applied on the top surface of the base. During precipitation, water flows into a porous layer and then moves laterally on top of ... -
Knowledge sharing, entrepreneurial capacity and diffusion of modern energy technologies in rural Uganda
(Makerere University, 2018-09)Despite the rising demand and diversity of sources, technologies and policies aimed at disseminating Modern Energy Technologies (MET) in rural Uganda, diffusion has remained low. The rapid diffusion of Mobile Telephony ... -
Options of energy conservation in the brick and tile making industry in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2018)Bricks and tiles are ceramic building materials used in almost all buildings for construction as they are locally available. As a developing country, Uganda’s brick and tile industry is estimated to be growing at a rate ... -
Assessment of bus service travel time variability on designated bus routes in Kampala Capital City
(Makerere University, 2018-10-11)The bus transit system in Kampala is generally mixed with other traffic (Right-of-Way C) and therefore it is expected that travel times are subject to high degrees of variability. This study concentrated on collection and ... -
Plasticity and stiffness of aged road gravel stabilized with Acrylic polymers
(Makerere University, 2018-10-11)World over, the increasing need to reduce costs, conserve materials and use of marginal soils have resulted in the use of soil stabilizers in increasing quantities in the construction of roads. As such, this research study ... -
Role of curing time and compactivite effort in stabilization of in-situ road gravel using lime and natural pozzolana
(Makerere University, 2018-07)Periodic mechanized maintenance of gravel roads is becoming increasingly difficult because of the dwindling stocks of fresh gravel materials required in this process. This study centered on determining the influence of ... -
A Model for predicting delay and capacity of right-turn traffic at closely spaced un-signalised junctions
(Makerere University, 2018-07)The study is centred on developing models to predict traffic delay and right-turning capacity of two successive signalised close junctions. Right-turn traffic at closely spaced un-signalised junctions is associated with ... -
Proposed design parameters for raised transverse rumble strip profiles to abate discomfort on highways in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2018-08)Transverse rumble strips are used in highway design as speed calming measures in built-up areas, where a driver is expected to reduce travel speeds to a new advisory speed. There are diverse designs in terms of shapes, ... -
An assessment of hydrokinetic potential in the Maputo Basins, Mozambique
(Makerere University, 2016-10)In Mozambique, access to modern energy services in the form of electricity has been limited to most of rural population. 6% of the rural areas are electrified, the country is large with widely dispersed mostly rural ... -
A fuzzy logic based channel allocation scheme for cognitive radio networks
(Makerere University, 2014)Cognitive radio technology offers a line of research that enables the exploitation of the radio frequency spectrum by unlicensed users who are permitted to share this spectrum with the condition that they cause minimum ... -
Investigation of structural characteristics of vernacular materials for construction of earthquake resistant systems in Western Uganda
(Makerere University, 2014)Earthquake disasters in Western Uganda are common resulting from destructive earthquakes that have a return period of two to three decades. The destructive mechanism of earthquakes of such magnitudes is vested mainly in ... -
The impact of abstraction on the quality and quantity of groundwater in Kampala: A case of Kawempe Division
(2015-10)Studying the impact of abstraction of groundwater on its quantity and quality in the deep aquifers will contribute to the mitigation of pollution in water resources in urban areas. Assessment of groundwater quality and ... -
Spatial and topological characterization of road traffic accidents in Rwanda
(Makerere University, 2018-05)Worldwide, road traffic accident injuries and fatalities have risen to be among the leading deaths (Global Status Report (2013). The World Bank and World health organization joint publication reported 1.2 million deaths ... -
Evaluation of the viability of dehydrating the beer using calcium oxide for economical production of ethanol
(Makerere University, 2014-10)The current conventional fermentation processes can yield mash with ethanol content of 12% at maximum. Evaluation of the energy required to distill such a beer gives a high value than if the concentration is increased in ... -
