(Makerere University, 2018-10-12)
This study used morphometric characteristics and fish condition to compare populations of Barbus altianalis from the River Nile, Lake Edward and Kazinga Channel. Morphological variation was determined using multivariate ...
Life history traits and growth of Nile Perch, Lates Niloticus (l.), in Lake Victoria, Uganda: Implications for management of the fishery
(Makerere University, 2012-09)
A study of life history traits and growth of Nile perch, Lates niloticus L. in northern Lake Victoria (Uganda) was undertaken between 2006 and 2008 with a major aim of providing information that could facilitate the ...
Biochemical characterisation of water from River Ntabago and implication on water quality and safety
(2011-05)
This study analysed the biological and chemical components characterising water from River Ntabago. The composition of the water determines its quality and affects the lives of aquatic organisms and other water consumers. ...
Dithiocarbamate residue levels in selected vegetables from Bukavu Region, Democratic Republic of Congo
(2011-03)
This study involved a survey on the use of dithiocarbamates in agriculture practices in Bukavu Region and the determination of their residues in vegetables (tomatoes and cabbages) from five main sites supplying Bukavu town ...
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 ...
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 ...
Relative suitability of phosphorus analytical methods for a ferralsol
(Makerere University, 2012-11)
Declining soil fertility is a fundamental impediment to agricultural growth and a major reason for the slow growth in food production in sub-Saharan Africa. Among the primary plant macronutrients, phosphorus is the most ...
Ethnobotanical, phytochemical and antiplasmodial studies of Neoboutonia Macrocalyx L
(Makerere University, 2014)
Malaria is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity due to resistance of the parasite to the cheap and available antimalarials. The need for effective new and cheap alternative antimalarials is therefore of ...
Isolation and identification of compounds from the leaves of Secamone africana (oliv.) bullock used locally to treat malaria
(2018)
Traditional medicine is an affordable and accessible source of primary health care for treatment of tropical diseases such as malaria. Malaria in developing tropical countries has been treated using preparations of traditional ...
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 ...
