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 ...
Ocurence of culturable Vibrio Cholerae from Lake Victoria, and Rift Valley Lakes Albert and George, Uganda
(Wiley Publishing, 2012)
Vibrio cholerae, a bacterium that causes cholera, poses a human health risk when consumed via untreated or contaminated water. Monthly investigations into the presence of V. cholerae from Lakes Albert, George and Victoria ...
Diurnal and seasonal variability of total electron content observed at Kampala in the Equatorial Region
(Makerere University, 2012-12)
Total electron content (TEC) is a vital and most dominant ionospheric parameter that can cause GPS signal delays, signal degradation and in extreme cases loss of lock. This results into inefficient operations of ground and ...
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 ...
Performance of rotifer (Brachionus Calyciflorus Pallas) fed on chlorella cultured on locally available nutrient materials
(Makerere University, 2012-10)
Locally available nutrient materials (Cowdung, Soybean extracts and Diammonium Phosphate (DAP)/UREA inorganic fertilizer) were used to prepare culture media for growing Chlorella spp. as a food base for rotifer culture and ...
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 ...
Suitability of cyclopoids as starter live feed for the African Catfish (Clarias Gariepinus, Burchell 1822) larvae culture in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2012-10)
Imported Artemia cysts (the Brine Shrimp) are the only readily available live feed for purchase to catfish seed aquaculturists in Uganda. The current study explored the possibility of using cyclopoid copepods as alternative ...
