Organochlorine pesticide residues in Uganda’s honey as a bioindicator of environmental contamination and reproductive health implications to consumers
(Elsevier, 2021)
Honey has multifaceted nutritional and medicinal values; however, its quality is hinged on the floral origin of the nectar. Taking advantage of the large areas that they cover; honeybees are often used as bioindicators of ...
Antiplasmodial activity, Toxicity and Phytochemistry of Selected Plant Species used by Rukararwe and Prometra Herbalists in Treatment of Malaria in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2021-03-30)
Resistance of malaria parasites to known antimalarial drugs necessitated to finding new drugs from natural products which are readily available to treat malaria. The study documented; medicinal plants used in malaria ...
Potential Hydrogeological Contaminants derived from petroleum activities in the Albertine Graben
(Makerere University, 2021-02)
Current understanding of the hydrogeological characteristics of rift-margin environments is limited and not well reconciled to large- scale conceptual models of rift evolution. In Uganda with substantial dependence on ...
Potential Hydrogeological Contaminants derived from petroleum activities in the Albertine Graben
(Makerere University, 2021-02)
Current understanding of the hydrogeological characteristics of rift-margin environments is limited and not well reconciled to large- scale conceptual models of rift evolution. In Uganda with substantial dependence on ...
Synthesis, catalysis and Nitrosyl derivatives of Iron(ii) complexes bearing Pentadentate Polypyridyl ligands
(Makerere University, 2021-04-06)
The work described in this thesis reports the synthesis, characterization, and solution chemistry of a series of new pentadentate polypyridyl ligands and their corresponding Fe(II) complexes. The ligand structure was based ...
Effect of basin evolutionary factors on reservoir quality of the Semliki basin, Western Uganda
(Makerere University, 2021-02-06)
Sedimentation in the Semliki basin is controlled by tectonics and climatic changes. These factors together control the patterns of river drainage, that create variations in sediments composition, heterogeneities in the ...
Synthesis, Anti-plasmodial and Anti-microbial Properties of Carvotacetone Analogues
(Makerere University, 2021-03-30)
Resistance of plasmodia parasites, Cryptococcus neoformans and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus to the available medications are a major cause of concern worldwide. This situation necessitates the requirement ...
Selective oxidation of benzyl alcohols with molecular oxygen as the oxidant using Ag-Cu catalysts supported on polyoxometalates
(Elsevier, 2021)
We report an efficient process for the oxidation of benzyl alcohols using molecular oxygen as the oxidant catalyzed by Ag-Cu catalysts supported on polyoxometalates (Ag-Cu/POM). The Ag-Cu/POM catalyst was prepared by ...
Hierarchical models and spatio-temporal processes in data analysis
(Makerere University, 2021-12)
Spatio-temporal processes evolve in space and time. As a consequence data from such processes, usually possess both temporal and spatial dependence which have to be reflected by fitted stochastic models. The existing ...
Estimation of Ground Motion Levels Due To Earthquakes of the Albertine Graben In Uganda.
(Makerere University, 2021-02-17)
Present probabilistic seismic hazard maps for the Albertine Graben, for peak ground acceleration and the spectral ordinate at periods of 0.2seconds and 1.0seconds;with 10 % probability of being exceeded on average once in ...
