Relative suitability of phosphorus analytical methods for a ferralsol
(Makerere University, 2012-11)
Declining soil fertility is a fundamental impediment to agricultural growth and a major reason for the slow growth in food production in sub-Saharan Africa. Among the primary plant macronutrients, phosphorus is the most ...
Gravity and magnetic data analysis to detect the origin of carbon dioxide in Semliki Basin, Albertine Graben
(Makerere University, 2011-12)
Semliki basin is one of the most prospecting basins for Petroleum exploration in Uganda. An exploratory well (Turaco-3) drilled to the depth of 2960 m by Heritage Oil and Gas Limited in the Semliki Basin encountered a ...
On algebraic and topological properties of continuous functions over a compact Hausdorff space
(Makerere University, 2011-10)
For a compact Hausdor topological space, we shall consider a space of all continuous
real-valued functions. The central problem of this dissertation is to translate algebraic
properties of this collection of functions ...
Sustainable technologies for small-scale biochar production—a review
(Scientific Research Publishing Inc., 2015)
Charcoal has found enormous application in both agriculture (AKA biochar) and other sectors. Despite its potential benefits, small scale technologies relevant for its production remain a challenge. Technologies striking a ...
Assessment of organochlorine pesticide residues in cows’ fresh and pasteurized milk sold from Kampala markets, Uganda
(Makerere University, 2010-05)
Concentrations of organochlorine pesticides (Lindane, Aldrin, Dieldrin, Endosulfan, p, p’-
DDT, o, p’-DDT and p, p’-DDE) residues in cows’ fresh and pasteurized milk samples from Uganda were determined using a gas ...
Facies analysis and sequence stratigraphy of the South East Lake Edward Basin, South Western Uganda
(Makerere University, 2010-12)
The south-east Lake Edward basin is the onshore part of the Block 4B exploration area
which was licensed to Dominion Petroleum Limited in 2007. This area lies within the
western branch of the East African Rift System ...
Diurnal and seasonal variability of total electron content observed at Kampala in the Equatorial Region
(Makerere University, 2012-12)
Total electron content (TEC) is a vital and most dominant ionospheric parameter that can cause GPS signal delays, signal degradation and in extreme cases loss of lock. This results into inefficient operations of ground and ...
Landslide occurrences in the hilly areas of Bududa District in Eastern Uganda and their causes
(Makerere University, 2010-12)
Although on a global scale Uganda is not known for landslide disasters, in the recent past especially in the years with above normal rainfall the loss of life and property from these disasters is increasing. This study ...
Improved gasification of rice husks for optimized biochar production in a top lit updraft gasifier
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2014)
Biochar is a solid material obtained from the carbonization of biomass. If properly produced, it is useful for soil application to enrich plant values. Rice husk (RH) waste, an abundant agricultural by-product, was gasified ...
Gasification of biochar from empty fruit bunch in a fluidized bed reactor
(MDPI AG, 2010)
A biochar produced from empty fruit bunches (EFB) was gasified in a fluidized bed using air to determine gas yield, overall carbon conversion, gas quality, and composition as a function of temperature. The experiment was ...
