Synthesis, Anti-plasmodial and Anti-microbial Properties of Carvotacetone Analogues
(Makerere University, 2021-03-30)
Resistance of plasmodia parasites, Cryptococcus neoformans and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus to the available medications are a major cause of concern worldwide. This situation necessitates the requirement ...
Farmers’ awareness of bean leaf beetles (Ootheca spp.) and the virulence of Aspergillus flavus and Metarhizium Anisopliae against these pests in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2021-02)
The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a widely grown crop and plays a key role of food and income security in Uganda. However, production of the crop is constrained by field insect pests including bean leaf beetles ...
Microbial contaminants in wild harvested and traded edible long-horned grasshopper, Ruspolia differens (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2021-04)
Edible insects are now globally recognised as alternative sources of food and feed. Currently, over 470 spp of insects are consumed in Africa alone, with Ruspolia differens being the most common in central Uganda. Harvesting ...
Selective oxidation of benzyl alcohols with molecular oxygen as the oxidant using Ag-Cu catalysts supported on polyoxometalates
(Elsevier, 2021)
We report an efficient process for the oxidation of benzyl alcohols using molecular oxygen as the oxidant catalyzed by Ag-Cu catalysts supported on polyoxometalates (Ag-Cu/POM). The Ag-Cu/POM catalyst was prepared by ...
Hierarchical models and spatio-temporal processes in data analysis
(Makerere University, 2021-12)
Spatio-temporal processes evolve in space and time. As a consequence data from such processes, usually possess both temporal and spatial dependence which have to be reflected by fitted stochastic models. The existing ...
Diversity and distribution of lepidopteran floral visitors in different land-use types in Mabira Central Forest Reserve, Uganda
(Makerere university, 2021)
Globally, the population of insect pollinator species is in decline at local and landscape levels due to land-use intensification occurring in different land-use types. Insect pollinators in Uganda are not well researched ...
Estimation of Ground Motion Levels Due To Earthquakes of the Albertine Graben In Uganda.
(Makerere University, 2021-02-17)
Present probabilistic seismic hazard maps for the Albertine Graben, for peak ground acceleration and the spectral ordinate at periods of 0.2seconds and 1.0seconds;with 10 % probability of being exceeded on average once in ...
Role of Plasmodium Falciparuminfection In Transplacental Transfer Of Antibodies.
(Makerere University, 2021-04-22)
Even with several therapeutic interventions and a few vaccination strategies, Malaria still killed over 380,000 people in 2019alone,in Sub Saharan African Countries. One major cause is impaired transfer of antibodies from ...
Modeling precipitable water vapour using Global Navigation Satellite System data over the East African region
(Makerere University, 2021-11)
The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) can be used to derive accurately the Zenith
Tropospheric Delay (ZTD) and Precipitable Water Vapour (PWV) under all-weather conditions.
The derived ZTD and PWV values play a ...
Flattened partitions: pattern avoidance and behavior of permutation statistics
(Makerere University, 2021-11-10)
The study of permutations, and specifically flattened partitions is an active area of current research. We provide a new combinatorial interpretation to the sequence A124324 in the On-line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences ...
