Statistical Lagragian characterization of the steady ABC and meandering jet flows.
(Makerere University., 2023-10-27)
In this study, we carried out a statistical Lagrangian characterization of the steady ABC and Meandering jet flows. The ABC flow is a three-dimensional velocity field which gives rise to chaotic trajectories while the Meandering ...
Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue Dye in Wastewater Using Iron-Doped Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles.
(Makerere University., 2023-11-22)
The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue dye in wastewater was investigated using iron (III)-doped titanium dioxide nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were synthesized via the sol-gel method and calcined at a temperature ...
Isolation and structure determination of phytochemicals from senna dydimobotrya leaf extract used in cancer management
(Makerere University, 2023-11-27)
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide accounting for an estimated 10 million cancer deaths by 2020 with more deaths recorded in economically developing countries. Cancer cases are projected to double by ...
Isolation and characterisation of compounds from Helichrysum odoratissimum (L.) Sweet and their activity on oral bacteria.
(Makerere University., 2023-11-27)
Dental caries (DC) and Periodontal diseases (PD) are the most common oral diseases in the world today. Conventional treatment of these diseases relies on approaches that are not easily accessible to most rural populations, ...
Assessment of organochlorine pesticides in serum and urine of children from a community affected with nodding syndrome in Kitgum District
(Makerere University, 2023-11-23)
This study aimed at determining the concentrations of OCP residues in serum and urine of children from a community affected with nodding syndrome (NS) in Kitgum District, Northern Uganda. A total of 150 urine and 75 serum ...
Origin and Hydrogeochemical formation processes of Geothermal fluids from the Kibiro area in Hoima District, Western Uganda.
(Makerere University., 2023-12-20)
The Kibiro geothermal field, located in the western branch of the East African Rift System, has many geothermal surface manifestations. Geochemical studies on the classification of the geothermal water, evaluation of thermal ...
On the irreducible representation of symmetric groups S6 and S7
(Makerere University., 2023-11-30)
The focus here is on the representation theory of the symmetric group over a field of char acteristic zero. Every representation is built out of irreducible representations. The main aim of this dissertation is to describe ...
Paediatric Clinical Indication Based Computed Tomography Dose Optimisation in Selected Imaging Centers in Kampala
(Makerere University., 2023-11-30)
Optimizing radiation doses is crucial for safety, especially in paediatrics with radiosensitive organs.Computed tomography scans pose a global radiation protection concern due to their growing use, higher effective dose, ...
Development and performance analysis of a parabolic dish solar concentrator integrated with a heat storage block
(Makerere University, 2023-12-13)
Solar irradiance received on the earth’s surface is highly intermittent. This affects the availability of solar energy for cooking especially with parabolic dish solar cookers which rely on beam solar irradiance. In this ...
PAH derivatives in sediments and fish from white Nile near Melut oil fields, South Sudan: bioaccumulation and source apportionment
(Makerere University, 2024-01-06)
This study was aimed at determining the occurrence and distribution of Nitro-PAHs, Oxy-PAHs and Hydroxy-PAHs in three different fish species (Oreochromis niloticus, Lates niloticus and Clarias gareepinus) and sediments ...
