Detection and phylogenetic analysis of lumpy skin disease virus in cattle from selected districts in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2019-11-01)
Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a viral disease of significant economic impact for the cattle industry in Africa, including Uganda. It is caused by lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), which belongs to the genus Capri poxvirus, ...
Organochlorine pesticides in mothers' breast milk and risk assessment posed to nursing infants in Kanungu District and Kampala District
(Makerere University, 2019-10)
This is the second study to report organochlorines (OCPs) in maternal breast milk in Uganda. The main aims of the present study were to determine concentrations of selected organochlorine pesticides in mothers’ breast milk ...
Bio-physical suitability of saline crater lakes of Western Uganda for artemia production
(2019)
Despite Artemia being the most widely used live feed for successful larval weaning and rearing, unreliable quality, not being readily available and expensive especially to small farmers hinders its use. This study explored ...
On the classification of algebraic structures using quivers
(Makerere University, 2019-10-17)
There are several ways used to classify algebraic structures, however in this project we classify path algebras of a connected quiver using Gabriel’s Theorem. We also show that the isomorphic classes of the indecomposable ...
Atmospheric concentration of selected trace gases over Uganda
(Makerere University, 2019)
The atmospheric concentration of the trace gases of CO2, CH4, NO2 and SO2 over Uganda
was obtained at the stations of Makerere, Mukono, Lira, Tororo and Kasese. Data used in
this study was retrieved from the Ozone ...
Indoor radon concentrations in the dormitories of selected secondary schools in Otuke District, Northern Uganda
(Makerere University, 2019-12-05)
Inhalation of radon and its progeny is the most significant source of natural radiation exposure to human population. Over 50 % of the natural background radiation comes from radon (222Rn). This study measured background ...
THE PERFORMANCE OF BLOOD DIRECT AFRICAN SWINE FEVER POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION DIAGNOSTIC METHOD IN AN ENDEMIC SETTING
(2019)
African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious viral swine disease. It’s lethality rates range between 90-100% in the affected animals. ASF outbreaks cause severe financial constraints for traders and farmers of swine. ...
Assessment of organochlorine pesticide residues in blood and placenta tissues of mothers living in Kanungu District and Kampala Capital City
(Makerere University, 2019-12)
This study determined the levels of organochlorine pesticides in blood and placenta tissues of mothers from Kanungu District (N=26) and Kampala Capital City (KCC) (N=26). Samples for Kanungu District were collected from ...
Characterization of Reservoir Properties for the Kisegi Formation in Semliki Basin, Albertine Graben, Western Uganda using Rock Physics Diagnostics
(Makerere University, 2019-11-22)
The quality of a reservoir rock is a fundamental input in evaluating its productivity during exploration and appraisal. Therefore, attempts to characterize the formation using rock physics diagonostic ...
The effects of PMD in buried and aerial single mode and polarization maintaining fibers and performance of direct and external modulation techniques at high speed data rate
(Makerere University, 2019-06)
Optical fiber transmission is greatly affected by dispersion and in this study, we experimentally investigate angular displacement and speed of state of polarization in Single Mode Fibers (SMF) and Polarization Maintaining ...
