Population morphometric variation and condition of Barbus Altianalis (Boulenger 1900) in the River Nile, Lake Edward and Kazinga Channel – Uganda
(Makerere University, 2018-10-12)
This study used morphometric characteristics and fish condition to compare populations of Barbus altianalis from the River Nile, Lake Edward and Kazinga Channel. Morphological variation was determined using multivariate ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...

(Makerere University, 2010-12)
This research work aimed at documenting and evaluating the effectiveness of botanicals locally used in tick control amongst the cattle keeping communities of northern Uganda districts of Gulu and Amuru. The documentation ...
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 ...
Heterogeneous biocatalysts for production of biodiesel from waste vegetable oil and effect of crude glycerol on combustion properties of briquettes
(Makerere University, 2017)
The conversion of spent vegetable oils into biodiesel using biocatalysts provides both environment friendly and also innovative ways to manage wastes that would otherwise end in the environment. This study explored the use ...
Spectroscopic analysis of heterogeneous biocatalysts for biodiesel production from expired Sunflower cooking oil
(Hindawi Publishing Company, 2015)
The study characterized heterogeneous biocatalyst synthesized from sucrose, saw dust, and chicken egg shells using Fourier
Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy coupled with Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) technique. ...
Groundwater physical and hydrochemical characteristics of the weathered crystalline rock aquifers in Kamuli district, Eastern Uganda
(Makerere University, 2015-10)
Deeply weathered crystalline rocks constitute important groundwater aquifers that provide accessible and reliable sources of safe domestic water supply in Kamuli District in eastern Uganda. Inadequate characterization of ...
