Radioactivity Levels of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in Limestone, Clay, Sand, Magnesium-oxide, Pozzolana, and their Cement Products
(Makerere University, 2023-01-03)
This study was to determine the radioactivity levels of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in limestone, sand, clay, magnesium-oxide, pozzolana and their cement products. Raw material samples were collected from areas of Western, Eastern ...
Stress tensor inversion using focal mechanisms of earthquakes recorded in the Rwenzori Region, Albertine Rift System
(Makerere University, 2023-05-12)
The goal of this study is to determine the regional stress tensor in the Rwenzori region using the fault plane solutions. Rwenzori region is located in Uganda and an integral part of East African Rift System. The research ...
Mathematical methods for computing centrality measures based on powers of the adjacency matrix for large networks
(Makerere University, 2023-08-07)
Network models have become essential tools in information retrieval, decision making, and general interconnected systems. Importantly, in a network, it is often of interest to locate the most important vertices, mainly by ...
Brain tumor origin localization via iterative methods
(Makerere University, 2023-08-15)
We study the brain tumor growth with and without treatment by using the commonly used mathematical PDE models of the Reaction-diffusion type. The models describe tumor cell density change over time due to cell proliferation, ...
Assessment of Geological Controls on Reservoir Heterogeneity in Kingfisher Oilfield Lake Albert Basin, Western Uganda
(Makerere University, 2023-08-14)
The Kingfisher oilfield is one of the key discovery fields found in the Albertine Graben located in the Lake Albert basin. The Kingfisher reservoir zones are characterized by variations in facies distribution, pressure ...
A 3d basin modelling approach to the assessment of hydrocarbon potential of Lake Edward basin, western Uganda
(Makerere University., 2023-09-06)
Lake Edward basin is a rift basin located in the extreme south of the Ugandan portion of the western arm of the East African Rift System (EARS), popularly known as the Albertine Graben. 3D basin modelling approach was ...
Subsurface facies analysis of the paleogene formations, nahal field, melut basin,south sudan
(Makerere University, 2023-09)
The present work highlights the results of the facies study conducted to identify lithologic heterogeneity and determine petrophysical properties from six wells in Nahal oilfield in South Sudan with the aim of assessing ...
Prediction of global solar radiation on tilted surfaces using Artificial Neural networks in Kampala, Uganda.
(Makerere University., 2023-09-29)
In this study, we developed a model using artificial neural networks to predict average daily global solar radiation on tilted surfaces based on sunshine hours, minimum temperature, maximum temperature and relative humidity ...
Effect of clouds on the photosynthetically active radiation received in Kampala, Uganda.
(Makerere University., 2023-09-13)
Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) plays an important part in climate change and ecological processes. Few PAR measurements are available some in countries such as Uganda. Thus it is important to investigate the ...
Prediction of hourly global solar radiation incident on a horizontal surface in Kampala using Markov Chain Model.
(Makerere University., 2023-09-04)
The present investigation delves into the feasibility of predicting global solar radiation (GSR) on horizontal surfaces within Kampala using the Markov Chain Model (MCM). This predictive data is crucial for informing ...
