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 ...
Diversity of the bean anthracnose pathogen, colletotrichum lindemuthianum (sacc. and magn.) from major bean agroecological zones of Uganda
(Makerere University, 2023-11)
Anthracnose disease in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a major disease caused by the fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum. Management through host-plant resistance is the best management option, but is constrained ...
Power dynamics and marketing efficiency of silver cyprinid (Rastrineobola Argentea) at Kiyindi Landing
(Makerere University, 2023-12)
Small pelagic species are considered major economic resource involving several actors to derive livelihoods. The high number of actors increases competition and may result in unequal distribution of benefits depending on ...
Physiological and growth response of oreochromis esculentus (Graham, 1929) populations to different temperature regimes: implications for species’ conservation and aquaculture management
(Makerere University, 2023-11)
Oreochromis esculentus, the once most important commercial fish species in Lakes Victoria and Kyoga, is currently confined in a few minor lakes. The rising atmospheric temperatures due to climate change may worsen the ...
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 ...
Positional behaviour and patterns of support utilization in chimpanzees
(Makerere University, 2023-08-12)
Understanding the complex interplay between chimpanzee locomotion, feeding patterns, and both
arboreal and terrestrial substrate utilization in their natural context is vital since chimpanzee
populations and their habitats ...
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, ...

(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 ...
Prediction of immune state and viral suppression in HIV-1 infection using IL-6: IFN-γ ratios
(Makerere University, 2023-03-06)
Introduction: Cytokine dysregulation is a hallmark of HIV infection with a rise in plasma IL-6 largely reported to enhance HIV-1 replication while IFN-γ shows hindrance. Besides, IL-6 inhibits IFN-γ secretion through the ...
