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 ...

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 ...
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 ...

(Makerere University, 2022-12-05)
Bacterial infections such as pneumonia, lower respiratory tract infections, gastrointestinal disorders and skin infections are health burden to mankind. In Uganda, several medicinal plants are locally used to treat various ...
Characterisation of resistant starch in selected banana cultivars
(Makerere University, 2022-12-14)
In the green stage of the banana, starch accumulates most of which is resistant to degradation by amylases. The resistant starch is utilised in industry for development of nutraceuticals and as a functional food for ...
The numerical range of linear relations and stability theorems
(Makerere University, 2022)
The nullity, deficiency and index of a linear relation A from a linear space X to a linear space Y are defined as the dimension of the null space of A, the codimension of the range of A and the difference between the nullity ...
