The quality and characteristics of cotton and sunflower oil bleached using clays from Iliri, in North Eastern Uganda
(European Centre for Research Training and Development UK, 2017)
Bleaching is known to alter the composition of edible oils as it removes
impurities and certain food nutrients. The characteristics of bleached oil are strongly related
to type bleaching medium, temperature at which ...
On generalized solutions of locally Fuchsian ordinary differential equations
(Scientific Advances Publishers, 2018)
We consider an m-th order constant coefficient locally Fuchsian ordinary
differential equation at the origin

L-band and VHF response to scintillation activity during the ascending phase of sunspot cycle 24 in the Equatorial Region of East African
(Makerere University, 2014-05)
Ionospheric scintillation is the rapid change in the phase and or the amplitude of a radio signal as it passes through small scale plasma density irregularities in the ionosphere. These scintillations, not only can they ...
Fixation of carbon dioxide into epoxides to form cyclic carbonates using silicate based catalysts
(Makerere University, 2018-11)
This study aimed at developing silicate based catalytic systems for the fixation of carbon dioxide (CO2) into epoxides to form cyclic carbonates. Catalytic activity of selected naturally occurring silicates including: ...
Delineation of petroleum plays in the Semliki Basin, Albertine Graben Western Uganda, from trap-type perspective
(Makerere University, 2019-10)
Prospects evaluation in the Semliki basin demonstrated working petroleum system, but no viable targets have been discovered. This work was aimed to identify and group the prospective hydrocarbon resource areas of the basin ...
A mathematical model for the transmission dynamics and optimal control strategy of Coffee Wilt disease
(2018-10-18)
The main objective of this study was to formulate a mathematical model for the transmission dynamics and optimal control strategy of coffee wilt disease (CWD) in Uganda. A deterministic model for the transmission dynamics ...
Adsorption behavior of acid-leached clays in bleaching of oil
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015)
The available data have shown that acid-leached clays had sites for adsorption of impurities in oils.
Data obtained on residual impurities in cotton and sunflower-seed oils bleached with the same
clay materials produced ...
Using trace metals, peroxide, acid and iodine values to characterize oils bleached using clays from Central and Eastern Uganda
(2014)
The decrease in content of iron in the bleached oils was highest for all oils bleached. The content of copper showed the smallest change. The decrease in copper content for palm oils decreased from 0.2ppm to 0.1ppm when ...
Upgrading and characterization of smectite from selected volcanic sediments of Eastern Uganda
(2015)
Natural clays occur as mixtures of many clay minerals and remains of the rocks that underwent diagenesis to yield the clays. As weathering of clay soils never ceases it may not be possible to mine single clay minerals. The ...
The elemental, mineralogical, IR, DTA and XRD analyses characterized clays and clay minerals of Central and Eastern Uganda
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015)
The results on the elemental and mineralogical compositions of clays from Central Uganda differed
from those from the volcanic sediments of the Mt. Elgon in Eastern Uganda. Utilisation of the
two types of clays should ...
