Determining the prevalence of Trichomonas Vaginalis as a possible marker of inconsistent in condom use
(Makerere University, 2011-05)
A cross sectional study was carried out at Assessment Center, based at Mulago Hospital, to determine the prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis as a possible marker of inconsistent condom use among individuals. Its’ specific ...
Biochemical characterisation of water from River Ntabago and implication on water quality and safety
(2011-05)
This study analysed the biological and chemical components characterising water from River Ntabago. The composition of the water determines its quality and affects the lives of aquatic organisms and other water consumers. ...
Insight into PMD regimes: an analysis on buried optical fibres
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)
Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) field measurements on deployed buried fibres showed that the PMD variation over the 1520 to 1570 nm wavelength was stochastic. The PMD variation over the 98-hour period for each wavelength ...
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 ...
Modelling the severity of dual and co-Infection with malaria in populations with persistent and re-emerging Infections.
(Makerere University, 2011-11)
Mathematical models have contributed to epidemiological understanding of infectious diseases at all levels, from projections of the magnitude of disease epidemics to the within-host interactions between pathogens and the ...
Discovery and verification of osteopontin and Beta-2-microglobulin as promising markers for staging Human African Trypanosomiasis
(The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2010)
Human African trypanosomiasis, or sleeping sickness, is a
parasitic disease endemic in sub-Saharan Africa, transmitted
to humans through the bite of a tsetse fly. The first or
hemolymphatic stage of the disease is ...
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 ...
Dithiocarbamate residue levels in selected vegetables from Bukavu Region, Democratic Republic of Congo
(2011-03)
This study involved a survey on the use of dithiocarbamates in agriculture practices in Bukavu Region and the determination of their residues in vegetables (tomatoes and cabbages) from five main sites supplying Bukavu town ...
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 ...
