Development of a sensible heat packed bed energy storage system for medium temperature applications
(Makerere University, 2020-11-01)
Utilization of solar energy can be a strategy to provide clean and cheap energy for various purposes such as cooking. Unfortunately, solar energy is intermittent and unreliable for continuous usage. As a result, it ...
Morphometrics, growth and nutritional characterization of selected bivalves' species from Lake Victoria
(Makerere University, 2020-01-07)
Fish is a major source of animal protein to most people in Uganda. However, production from capture fisheries has declined, mainly due to overfishing. Aquaculture, which is a viable option to meet the fish demand is ...
Prevalence of schistosomiasis and soil- transmitted helminthes and the associated risk factors among primary school children aged 10-14 years in Buyende District-Eastern Uganda
(Makerere University, 2020-03)
Infestations of Schistosoma mansoni and STHs in children especially among the primary school age group is still a problem of public health concern in Uganda with an estimated prevalence in some areas at 4.5% despite the ...
Supported silver and copper catalysts for selective oxidation of benzyl alcohols using molecular oxygen as oxidant
(Makerere University, 2020-10)
ABSTRACT
This dissertation presents sustainable and efficient processes for the oxidation of benzyl alcohols using molecular oxygen as the oxidant and catalyzed by Ag-Cu bimetallic catalysts supported on polyoxometalates ...
Distribution and incidence of the oil palm weevil Rhynchophorus Phoenicis (Fabricius, 1801) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in selected districts of Uganda
(Makerere University, 2020-10)
The weevil Rhynchophorus (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a key pest of oil palm worldwide, but information on its infestation of crops in Uganda is eleven decades old, therefore, outdated. The current study was ...
Synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and carbon dioxide catalyzed by talc and other phyllosilicates
(Springer Nature, 2020)
Naturally occurring phyllosilicate minerals such as talc and vermiculite in conjunction with n-tetra butyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) co-catalyst were found to be efficient in the coupling of CO2 with epoxides to form cyclic ...
Synthesis and characterization of graphene oxide from locally mined graphite flakes and its supercapacitor applications
(Elsevier, 2020)
Graphite is a mineral mined from different parts of the world which including Africa. It can be used or converted into different carbon materials such as exfoliated graphite, graphene, Graphene Oxide (GO), graphene nano ...
Primary validation of Charm II tests for the detection of antimicrobial residues in a range of aquaculture fish
(Springer Nature, 2020)
The study carried out a primary validation of Charm II tests for the detection of antimicrobial residues in aquaculture fish. The validation was performed according to European Commission Decision 2002/657/EC and the ...
General large deviations of longest gaps in homogeneous Poisson processes
(Elsevier, 2020)
Let (N(t))t≥0 be a homogeneous Poisson process with unit intensity. The longest gap L(t)of this process is the maximal time subinterval between epochs of arrival times up to time t, and it finds applications in the theory ...
