(Makerere University, 2010-05)
Concentrations of organochlorine pesticides (Lindane, Aldrin, Dieldrin, Endosulfan, p, p’-
DDT, o, p’-DDT and p, p’-DDE) residues in cows’ fresh and pasteurized milk samples from Uganda were determined using a gas ...
Designing and Performance Evaluation of Biochar Production in a Top-Lit Updraft Up-scaled Gasifier
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015)
The Original Belonio Rice Husk Gasifier (OBRHG), initially of height of 0.6 m, diameter of 0.15 m and thickness of 0.025 m was tested for biochar production through air gasification of rice husk (RH) and the design was ...
Facies analysis and sequence stratigraphy of the South East Lake Edward Basin, South Western Uganda
(Makerere University, 2010-12)
The south-east Lake Edward basin is the onshore part of the Block 4B exploration area
which was licensed to Dominion Petroleum Limited in 2007. This area lies within the
western branch of the East African Rift System ...
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 ...
Landslide occurrences in the hilly areas of Bududa District in Eastern Uganda and their causes
(Makerere University, 2010-12)
Although on a global scale Uganda is not known for landslide disasters, in the recent past especially in the years with above normal rainfall the loss of life and property from these disasters is increasing. This study ...
Improved gasification of rice husks for optimized biochar production in a top lit updraft gasifier
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2014)
Biochar is a solid material obtained from the carbonization of biomass. If properly produced, it is useful for soil application to enrich plant values. Rice husk (RH) waste, an abundant agricultural by-product, was gasified ...
Effective methods of processing soybean products used in formulating diets for Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus)
(Makerere University, 2016)
The increasing demand for the silver cyprinid (Rastreneobola argentea), an indigenous fish species to Ugandan waters by humans has pushed the fish meal prices high; making its use in aquafeeds less achievable. This calls ...
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 ...
Gasification of biochar from empty fruit bunch in a fluidized bed reactor
(MDPI AG, 2010)
A biochar produced from empty fruit bunches (EFB) was gasified in a fluidized bed using air to determine gas yield, overall carbon conversion, gas quality, and composition as a function of temperature. The experiment was ...
