Insight into PMD regimes: an analysis on buried optical fibres
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)
Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) field measurements on deployed buried fibres showed that the PMD variation over the 1520 to 1570 nm wavelength was stochastic. The PMD variation over the 98-hour period for each wavelength ...
Modelling the severity of dual and co-Infection with malaria in populations with persistent and re-emerging Infections.
(Makerere University, 2011-11)
Mathematical models have contributed to epidemiological understanding of infectious diseases at all levels, from projections of the magnitude of disease epidemics to the within-host interactions between pathogens and the ...
Heavy metal and nutrient loading of river Rwizi by effluents from Mbarara municipality, western Uganda
(Makerere University, 2012-09)
The rapid expansion of Mbarara town in Western Uganda has significantly elevated its anthropogenic pollution over the recent past. It is feared that the increasing volume of untreated effluent discharge might find its way ...
Synthesis and characterisation of selected polyoxometallates and their applications in catalysis
(Makerere University, 2012-10)
Green processing is a central issue in both academia and industry, with regard to
chemical synthesis because without this approach, industrial chemistry is not sustainable. Chemists are proud of their ability to create ...
Distribution solutions to ordinary differential equations with polynomial coefficients on the real line
(Makerere University, 2012-04)
In this study we consider the Weyl algebra A1(C) that consists of differential operators
P of the form
P = pm(x)"m + pm−1(x)"m−1 + . . . + p1(x)" + p0(x), (1)
where {p"(x)} are polynomials which in general may have ...
Rock bed thermal energy storage for solar cooking application (Potential for solar cooking in Uganda)
(2012-11)
This thesis focus on the development of a rock bed heat storage for storing solar energy for cooking and other applications requiring heat in the range of 1000C to 3500C. The potential of using such a system in Uganda is ...
Distinguishing kaolinites and smectite clays from Central and Eastern Uganda using acidity, pH, colour and composition
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015)
The Langmuir isotherms of 1-aminobutane in isohexane slurries showed increase in clay acidity
with increase in concentration of mineral acid used to leach the clay as well as the temperature at
which the clay was thermally ...
Phytogenetic analysis by 16s rRNA gene sequence of a protease-secreting thermophilic bacterial isolate KITNT-3 from Kiteezi landfill
(Makerere University, 2011-07)
A thermophilic protease-secreting bacterial isolate KITNT-3 from Kiteezi landfill was characterized phylogenetically by determining its relationship with other existing known bacterial strains. Genomic DNA was isolated ...
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 ...
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 ...
