Assessment of mercury bioavailability in soils and potential uptake by food crops grown around selected artisanal and small-scale gold mining areas of Eastern Uganda
(Makerere University, 2024)
The unregulated use of elemental mercury (Hg) in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) to extract gold from its ore results in metal pollution of various environmental systems. ASGM employs the mercury amalgamation ...
Dividend maximisation in an insurance process compounded by risky and non-risky investments.
(Makerere University., 2024-02-07)
Shareholders of an insurance company would expect maximum dividends from their investment in insurance companies for decades. Therefore, there is a need for managers of insurance companies to pay out appealing dividends ...
Optimization of Expected Utility of Consumption and Terminal wealth in a portfolio in continuous time.
(Makerere University., 2024-01-31)
In this dissertation, addressing an investment-consumption problem with the goal of maximizing expected utility of consumption and terminal wealth in a portfolio in continuous time is considered. The action is two-fold in ...
Computing the Artin component using Reconstruction Algebras.
(Makerere University, 2024-03-27)
This thesis studies noncommutative resolutions of non-Gorenstein singularities and uses them to construct classical deformation spaces. In the first part, it recovers the Artin component of the deformation space of a cyclic ...
Oil production optimization of the Norne Field E-Segment, Norway using Eclipse 100 Simulation Model
(Makerere university, 2024)
The Norne field is located 80 km north of the Heidrun field in the Norwegian Sea. The Norne Field consists of two separate oil compartments, the Norne Main Structure (Norne C, D and E-Segment) and the Northeast Segment ...
Estimation of Radiological Effects and Modeling Radionuclide Transfer to Milk and Fish in Kisoro, South-western Uganda
(Makerere University, 2024-04-17)
Exposure to natural radiation energy (ionozing radiation) is one of the primary causes of radiation ailments like cancer. Radioactivity is widely spread in the earth’s environment and it exists in various geological ...
Characterization of defects in photovoltaic modules using electroluminescence imaging and current-voltage measurement techniques
(Makerere University, 2024)
External and internal factors can lead to the development of defects that affect the actual performance of PV Photovoltaic (PV) modules over time. This study was aimed at characterizing defects that arise in PV modules ...
Direct oxidative carboxylation of olefins catalyzed by iron-based polyoxometalate metal organic frameworks
(Makerere University, 2024-04)
The conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2), into value-added products such as cyclic carbonates is of academic and industrial interest. The cyclic carbonates have various industrial applications although they are usually ...
Synthesis of carbamates from carbon dioxide, alcohol and amines catalyzed by cobalt-based polyoxometalates metal organic frameworks.
(Makerere University., 2024-05-21)
Polyoxometalate metal-organic fragments are molecular complexes that combine metal ions with organic ligands within the same structure. These complexes integrate the properties of both polyoxometalates, which are inorganic ...
Establishment of diagnostic reference levels for selected interventional radiology procedures at Uganda Heart Institute, Mulago
(Makerere University, 2024)
Interventional radiology (IR) has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of vascular and cardiac diseases, offering minimally invasive procedures with reduced hospitalization times. However, the increasing complexity ...
