Organochlorine pesticide residues in Uganda’s honey as a bioindicator of environmental contamination and reproductive health implications to consumers
(Elsevier, 2021)
Honey has multifaceted nutritional and medicinal values; however, its quality is hinged on the floral origin of the nectar. Taking advantage of the large areas that they cover; honeybees are often used as bioindicators of ...
Antiplasmodial activity, Toxicity and Phytochemistry of Selected Plant Species used by Rukararwe and Prometra Herbalists in Treatment of Malaria in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2021-03-30)
Resistance of malaria parasites to known antimalarial drugs necessitated to finding new drugs from natural products which are readily available to treat malaria. The study documented; medicinal plants used in malaria ...
Potential Hydrogeological Contaminants derived from petroleum activities in the Albertine Graben
(Makerere University, 2021-02)
Current understanding of the hydrogeological characteristics of rift-margin environments is limited and not well reconciled to large- scale conceptual models of rift evolution. In Uganda with substantial dependence on ...
Development of a sensible heat packed bed energy storage system for medium temperature applications
(Makerere University, 2020-11-01)
Utilization of solar energy can be a strategy to provide clean and cheap energy for various purposes such as cooking. Unfortunately, solar energy is intermittent and unreliable for continuous usage. As a result, it ...

Synthesis, catalysis and Nitrosyl derivatives of Iron(ii) complexes bearing Pentadentate Polypyridyl ligands
(Makerere University, 2021-04-06)
The work described in this thesis reports the synthesis, characterization, and solution chemistry of a series of new pentadentate polypyridyl ligands and their corresponding Fe(II) complexes. The ligand structure was based ...
Effect of basin evolutionary factors on reservoir quality of the Semliki basin, Western Uganda
(Makerere University, 2021-02-06)
Sedimentation in the Semliki basin is controlled by tectonics and climatic changes. These factors together control the patterns of river drainage, that create variations in sediments composition, heterogeneities in the ...
Synthesis, Anti-plasmodial and Anti-microbial Properties of Carvotacetone Analogues
(Makerere University, 2021-03-30)
Resistance of plasmodia parasites, Cryptococcus neoformans and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus to the available medications are a major cause of concern worldwide. This situation necessitates the requirement ...
Supported silver and copper catalysts for selective oxidation of benzyl alcohols using molecular oxygen as oxidant
(Makerere University, 2020-10)
ABSTRACT
This dissertation presents sustainable and efficient processes for the oxidation of benzyl alcohols using molecular oxygen as the oxidant and catalyzed by Ag-Cu bimetallic catalysts supported on polyoxometalates ...
Selective oxidation of benzyl alcohols with molecular oxygen as the oxidant using Ag-Cu catalysts supported on polyoxometalates
(Elsevier, 2021)
We report an efficient process for the oxidation of benzyl alcohols using molecular oxygen as the oxidant catalyzed by Ag-Cu catalysts supported on polyoxometalates (Ag-Cu/POM). The Ag-Cu/POM catalyst was prepared by ...
