How variation of turbidity of bleached oils characterizes purity oil and bleaching processes
(ARC, 2017)
Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms have always been developed using changes in absorbance of oils. In this study we have investigated use of changes in turbidity of oils to assess bleaching efficiency and develop Freundlich ...
The quality and characteristics of cotton and sunflower oil bleached using clays from Iliri, in North Eastern Uganda
(European Centre for Research Training and Development UK, 2017)
Bleaching is known to alter the composition of edible oils as it removes
impurities and certain food nutrients. The characteristics of bleached oil are strongly related
to type bleaching medium, temperature at which ...
Ethnobotanical, phytochemical and antiplasmodial studies of Neoboutonia Macrocalyx L
(Makerere University, 2014)
Malaria is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity due to resistance of the parasite to the cheap and available antimalarials. The need for effective new and cheap alternative antimalarials is therefore of ...
On generalized solutions of locally Fuchsian ordinary differential equations

L-band and VHF response to scintillation activity during the ascending phase of sunspot cycle 24 in the Equatorial Region of East African
(Makerere University, 2014-05)
Ionospheric scintillation is the rapid change in the phase and or the amplitude of a radio signal as it passes through small scale plasma density irregularities in the ionosphere. These scintillations, not only can they ...
Fixation of carbon dioxide into epoxides to form cyclic carbonates using silicate based catalysts
(Makerere University, 2018-11)
This study aimed at developing silicate based catalytic systems for the fixation of carbon dioxide (CO2) into epoxides to form cyclic carbonates. Catalytic activity of selected naturally occurring silicates including: ...
Diversity and distribution of macro-invertebrates associated with Anopheles gambiae breeding habitats in selected villages along River Sezibwa, Uganda
(Makerere University, 2018)
Members of the Anopheles gambiae sensu lato (s.l.) are among the main vectors that carry Plasmodium which causes malaria. Immature stages of the vectors and other associated species share breeding habitats with other ...
A mathematical model for the transmission dynamics and optimal control strategy of Coffee Wilt disease
(2018-10-18)
The main objective of this study was to formulate a mathematical model for the transmission dynamics and optimal control strategy of coffee wilt disease (CWD) in Uganda. A deterministic model for the transmission dynamics ...
Morphological and molecular characterization of bivalves with respect to their diversity and distribution in Murchison Bay, Lake Victoria, Uganda
(Makerere University, 2018-12)
This study was designed to characterize bivalves in Murchison Bay using morphological and molecular approaches. The diversity and abundance of bivalves and the effect of abiotic factors were also determined from eight sites ...
Suitability of cyclopoids as starter live feed for the African Catfish (Clarias Gariepinus, Burchell 1822) larvae culture in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2012-10)
Imported Artemia cysts (the Brine Shrimp) are the only readily available live feed for purchase to catfish seed aquaculturists in Uganda. The current study explored the possibility of using cyclopoid copepods as alternative ...
