Sorption kinetics and equilibria of a mixture of atrazine and diuron for selected tropical soils from Uganda
(Makerere University, 2022-11-28)
The purpose of this study was to measure and model the sorption behavior of a mixture of pesticides in selected tropical soils, using atrazine and diuron as probe compounds. This information is important since it can be a ...
Genotyping Rhesus, Kidd, Dombrock and Colton blood group systems in sickle cell patients in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2022-03)
Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is one of the most prevalent genetic blood disorders. Blood Transfusion (BT) has remained a cornerstone in its management but exposes a recipient to RBC alloimmunization. In Uganda an alloimmunization ...
Optimization of the electrical resistivity of magnetron sputtered Aluminium and Boron co-doped zinc oxide thin films for solar cells
(Makerere University, 2022)
The aim of this research was to optimize the electrical resistivity of transparent Al-B co- doped ZnO thin films for application as a transparent front electrode in thin film solar cells, as a cheaper alternative to the ...
Geological assessment of heavy metals' soil contamination by drilling waste discharge, Palogue Fields, Melut Basin, South Sudan
(Makerere University, 2022-03-31)
Oil and gas operations produce wastes that are potentially toxic to the environment. The waste deposited into reserve pits can contaminate soil, groundwater, and surface water with heavy metals and other toxic substances ...
Solutions to a non-linear Diophantine equation of Pillai type
(Makerere University, 2022-04-07)
Let $ \{F_n\}_{n\geq 0} $ be a sequence of Fibonacci numbers defined by
$$ F_{0}=0, ~ F_{1}=1 ~~ \text{and} ~~ F_{n} = F_{n-1}+ F_{n-2} ~~ \text{for} ~~ n\geq 2. $$
In this research, we find all integers $c$ with at least ...
Safety evaluation of oral toxicity of potential anticancer agents: An acute and sub-chronic toxicity studies of combinations of Carica papaya Linn, Vernonia Amygdalina Delile and dihydroartemisinin.
(Ibadan biochemical communications group, 2021)
The increase in cancer prevalence rate worldwide is a public health concern. Studies have recognized the use of phytomedicines in cancer treatment but their safety data is deficient. Vernonia amygdalina Delile (VA), ...
Analgesic, anti-inflammatory and oxytocic activities of Dracaena steudneri Engl. stem bark aqueous extract in Wistar rats
(Academic journals, 2022)
Dracaena steudneri Engl. (Dracaenaceae) is a medicinal plant that is used in labour by traditional birth attendants to induce labour, relieve pain and treat various diseases; albeit no documentation. This study determined ...
Evaluation of the adverse effects of Dracaena steudneri Engl. stem bark aqueous extract in Wistar rats
(Academic Journals, 2021)
Safety of medicinal plants/products is one of the major areas that require more attention because of the high rate at which consumers use medicinal plants/products due to their availability and accessibility. Dracaena ...
Chemical structure and properties of anthocyanins from selected plant species from Uganda towards nutraceutical development
(Makerere University, 2022-05-13)
Noncommunicable diseases pose national and global threat to public health and hence there is a need for appropriate intervention. Ingestion of nutraceuticals rich in anthocyanin phytochemicals is associated with reduced ...
Phytochemical analysis of polyphenols in leaf extract from Vernonia amygdalina. Delile plant growing in Uganda
(MDPI, 2022)
Due to the presence of phytochemicals, plants have been known to be used in the treatment and management of various diseases. Vernonia amygdalina, belonging to the Asteraceae family, is a plant known for its many applications ...
