Mathematical Modelling of Harvesting of a Stage and Size - Structured Fish Population: the Case of African Catfish and Nile Tilapia
(Makerere University, 2023-01)
Over fishing has a great impact on the fish population because it results into decrease of fish stock and extinction of fish species. Consumer-resource systems with harvesting, in which African catfish (Glarias~gariepinus) ...
Phytochemical screening, in vivo antibacterial and antioxidant activities of roots of Euclea mayottensis H. perrier and fruits of Tambourissa comorensis D.H. Lorence
(Makerere University., 2023-01-20)
There is increased antimicrobial drug resistance as common antibiotics are no longer effective. In Africa and Comoros in particular the use of medicinal plants as a remedy for the common bacterial infections is on the rise. ...

This study was undertaken in the Main Pass area, north eastern Gulf of Mexico Basin with the aim of delineating the Cenozoic petroleum plays. The study involved the grouping of the structural and stratigraphic traps into ...
Structure elucidation of compounds isolated from the stem bark of Euclea latidens used in treatment of dental caries
(Makerere University, 2023-01-12)
Dental caries has remained a global threat despite the numerous antibacterial agents. The high global prevalence of 2.4 billion people reported is due to resistance against the antibiotics by the dental caries bacteria. ...
Optical and electrical properties of thermally deposited aluminium thin films
(Makerere University, 2023-01)
Thin film coatings can be applied to windows in buildings for solar control and energy-saving
purposes. By regulating the solar radiation entering through windows in spectrally selective
manner, it is possible to save ...
