Occurrence of Pesticides Residues in Feeds, the Pond Environment and Farmed Fish. A case Study of Uasin Gishu County, Kenya
(2022)
The use of pesticides in crop production and preservation poses a risk of contaminating aquaculture facilities and fish, through water and feed raw materials. This study investigated the use of pesticides on crop production ...
Comparative analysis of Ethanol production from Sweet Sorghum and Maize stalks grown in different locations in Eastern Uganda.
(Makerere University, 2022-12-06)
The study investigated the production of ethanol from the dilute acid Hydrolysate and their respective blends of 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% and 0% composition by sweet sorghum. The study also looked at the production of ethanol ...
On the Wavelet Analysis of Square Integrable Functions.
(Makerere University., 2022-12-12)
In this study, we derive the conditions under which an arbitrary L^2(R) function can be expanded in terms of the wavelet basis. This is done by rst deriving the conditions under which an arbitrary scaling function and the ...
Geomechanical modelling of subsurface formations in Palouch Oil Field, Melut Basin (South Sudan)
(Makerere University, 2022-10-25)
The geomechanical issues which are related to mechanical properties of rocks and stress
regimes in the area are one of the major causes of non-productive time (NPT) in oil and gas
operations. In Palouch field area, this ...

(Makerere University, 2022-12-22)
Top soil samples and accompanying yams were analyzed for natural radionuclide constituents and heavy metal concentrations using gamma - ray spectrometric methods and atomic absorption spectrometery (AAS), respectively. The ...
Synthesis and characterization of silver/calcium Oxideactivated carbon Nano-composite for the removal of phosphate from wastewater
(Makerere University, 2022-12)
Excessive phosphate concentration in wastewater discharged into the environment is the main cause of eutrophication in aquatic environments. Adsorption methods are widely used for removing phosphate from wastewater because ...
The dual of local cohomology modules
(Makerere University, 2022-12-07)
Let R be a Noetherian commutative local ring with unity, a be an ideal of R and M be an R-module. Local duality is one way of studying local cohomology modules by obtaining their dual modules. When M is a finitely generated ...
Bio-efficacy of insecticides used for vector control in Busia and Tororo districts, Eastern Uganda
(Makerere University, 2022-02-14)
High malaria transmission rates in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are attributed to the continuous presence of effective and competent Plasmodium vectors, Anopheles gambiae complex and the Anopheles funestus group. These vectors ...
