Sorption kinetics and degradation of chlorpyrifos in selected Uganda soils using mixed solvents
(Makerere University, 2019-10)
The purpose of this study was to determine sorption kinetics using mixed solvents and degradation of Chlorpyrifos in tropical soils. The information is important to understand the behaviour and fate of Chlorpyrifos in ...
Characterization of reservoir properties for the Kisegi Formation in Semliki Basin, Albertine Graben, Western Uganda using rock physics diagnostics
(Makerere University, 2019-11)
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 diagnostic ...
Utilisation of excess power generated by stand-alone solar photovoltaic system: a case study in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2019-11-25)
Stand-alone solar PV systems are increasingly installed worldwide. For reliability, these systems are mostly oversized because of the intermittent nature of the source of energy and to cater for days of autonomy. During ...
Isolation and structural elucidation of antibacterial triterpenoids compounds from stem bark of Psorospermum Febrifugum (spach var. febrifugum)
(Makerere University, 2019-10)
In this study, Psorospermum febrifugum stem bark was investigated for the antibacterial compounds present in its stem bark. The stem bark of Psorospermum febrifugum was collected in Mpigi District, Misindye hill in Buwungu ...
Biokinetics and modelling of pollutant accumulation in Cat fish (Clarius casonii) and Silver fish (Rasteneobola argentea) from selected aquatic ecosystems in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2019-12)
Concentrations of DDT and its residues and heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd) were determined in Clarius casonii collected from Nakivubo and Lubigi wetlands and Rasteneobola argentea from lakes Victoria and Kyoga. Measured ...
Delineation of petroleum plays in the Semliki Basin, Albertine Graben Western Uganda, from trap-type perspective
(Makerere University, 2019-10)
Prospects evaluation in the Semliki basin demonstrated working petroleum system, but no viable targets have been discovered. This work was aimed to identify and group the prospective hydrocarbon resource areas of the basin ...
Source rock maturation and hydrocarbon generation evaluation using 3D Basin modelling
(Makerere University, 2019-11)
The Semliki basin is located in the Albertine Graben which is part of the western arm of the East African Rift System (EARS). The basin demonstrated existence of a Petroleum System (Kiconco, 2005 and PEPD, 2012). Although ...
Pesticide residues in tomatoes and okra grown on the shores of Pece stream in Gulu Municipality, Northern Uganda
(2019-10-14)
This study determined the levels of pesticide residues (cypermethrin, chlorpyrifos, aldrin, dieldrin, dicofol, α-endosulfan and β-endosulfan) in thirty vegetable samples (15 tomatoes and 15 okra) from the shores of Pece ...
On Hulls of Semiprime Rings
(Makerere University, 2019-03-15)
Suppose R is a unital ring with a ring of quotients. We construct an intermediate ring
between R and the maximal right ring of quotients Q(R). The intermediate ring lies in a
class of rings that generalizes the class of ...
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 ...
