Molecular phylogeny, taxonomy and distribution of Chlorophytum Ker-Gawl. (Asparagaceae) in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2022-03)
The study aimed to establish the phylogeny, review the taxonomic circumscription and
establish the current distribution of Chlorophytum species in Uganda. Seventy districts were
surveyed between June 2019 and January ...
The use of Splines for solving ill-posed problems, with application to the Cauchy problems for the Heat and Helmholtz equations.
(Makerere University, 2022-03-22)
Inverse heat conduction: The Cauchy problem for the heat equation is a model of situation where one seeks to compute the temperature, or heat-flux, at the surface of a body by using interior measurements. The problem is ...
Hierarchical models and spatio-temporal processes in data analysis
(Makerere University, 2021-12)
Spatio-temporal processes evolve in space and time. As a consequence data from such processes, usually possess both temporal and spatial dependence which have to be reflected by fitted stochastic models. The existing ...
Potential of Azolla Pinnata R. BR. green manure for enhancing production and nutritive value of Zea Mays L.
(Makerere University, 2022-04)
We are faced with a challenge of meeting the food demands for the rapidly growing global population, yet the soils are becoming increasingly infertile. Climate smart agricultural technologies such as use of Azolla pinnata ...
Diversity and distribution of lepidopteran floral visitors in different land-use types in Mabira Central Forest Reserve, Uganda
(Makerere university, 2021)
Globally, the population of insect pollinator species is in decline at local and landscape levels due to land-use intensification occurring in different land-use types. Insect pollinators in Uganda are not well researched ...
Estimation of Ground Motion Levels Due To Earthquakes of the Albertine Graben In Uganda.
(Makerere University, 2021-02-17)
Present probabilistic seismic hazard maps for the Albertine Graben, for peak ground acceleration and the spectral ordinate at periods of 0.2seconds and 1.0seconds;with 10 % probability of being exceeded on average once in ...
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 ...
Role of Plasmodium Falciparuminfection In Transplacental Transfer Of Antibodies.
(Makerere University, 2021-04-22)
Even with several therapeutic interventions and a few vaccination strategies, Malaria still killed over 380,000 people in 2019alone,in Sub Saharan African Countries. One major cause is impaired transfer of antibodies from ...
Advances in carbon dioxide and propylene oxide copolymerization to form poly(propylene carbonate) over heterogeneous catalysts
(Elsevier, 2022)
Chemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added products is an attractive industrial process
because it offers several economic and environmental advantages. This review presents advances and challenges
in ...
Genetic profiles of single nucleotide polymorphisms in alcohol metabolizing enzymes in the Ugandan population
(Makerere University, 2022-02)
The pathway for alcohol (ethanol) metabolism in the body is catalyzed by alcohol dehydrogenase enzymes (ADHs), catalase (CAT) and CYP2E1 to generate acetaldehyde, which is metabolized by aldehyde dehydrogenase enzymes ...
