analysed. The experimental set-up consisted of ...
Sorption kinetics and equilibria of a mixture of atrazine and diuron for selected tropical soils from Uganda
(Makerere University, 2022-11-28)
The purpose of this study was to measure and model the sorption behavior of a mixture of pesticides in selected tropical soils, using atrazine and diuron as probe compounds. This information is important since it can be a ...
Optimization of the electrical resistivity of magnetron sputtered Aluminium and Boron co-doped zinc oxide thin films for solar cells
(Makerere University, 2022)
The aim of this research was to optimize the electrical resistivity of transparent Al-B co- doped ZnO thin films for application as a transparent front electrode in thin film solar cells, as a cheaper alternative to the ...
Geological assessment of heavy metals' soil contamination by drilling waste discharge, Palogue Fields, Melut Basin, South Sudan
(Makerere University, 2022-03-31)
Oil and gas operations produce wastes that are potentially toxic to the environment. The waste deposited into reserve pits can contaminate soil, groundwater, and surface water with heavy metals and other toxic substances ...
Solutions to a non-linear Diophantine equation of Pillai type
(Makerere University, 2022-04-07)
Let $ \{F_n\}_{n\geq 0} $ be a sequence of Fibonacci numbers defined by
$$ F_{0}=0, ~ F_{1}=1 ~~ \text{and} ~~ F_{n} = F_{n-1}+ F_{n-2} ~~ \text{for} ~~ n\geq 2. $$
In this research, we find all integers $c$ with at least ...
Chemical structure and properties of anthocyanins from selected plant species from Uganda towards nutraceutical development
(Makerere University, 2022-05-13)
Noncommunicable diseases pose national and global threat to public health and hence there is a need for appropriate intervention. Ingestion of nutraceuticals rich in anthocyanin phytochemicals is associated with reduced ...
