The challenges of reconstructing tropical biodiversity with sedimentary ancient DNA: a 2200-year-long metagenomic record from Bwindi impenetrable forest, Uganda
(Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020-07-10)
Sedimentary ancient DNA has been proposed as a key methodology for reconstructing biodiversity over time. Yet, despite the concentration of Earth’s biodiversity in the tropics, this method has rarely been applied in this ...
Effect of supply chain planning of liquid nitrogen and frozen semen on the quality of animal breeding public services in the selected cattle corridor districts of Uganda
(International Journal of Agricultural Policy and Research, 2020)
The study aimed to explain the effect of supply chain planning of liquid nitrogen and frozen semen on the quality of animal breeding public services in the selected cattle corridor districts (Mbarara, Mubende, Luwero and ...
Heavy metal pollution in the main rivers of Rwenzori region, Kasese District South-Western Uganda
(Octa Journal of Environmental Research, 2020)
Current study established heavy metal pollution of rivers Mubuku, Rwimi and Nyamwamba in Kasese district, Western Uganda. Their integrity is important because communities depend on them for water resources. No recent ...
Forecasting inputs demands on the quality of animal breeding public services in Uganda : a supply chain perspective
(Journal of Agriculture Food and Development, 2020-09-29)
The study focused on supply chain forecasts for inputs on the quality of animal breeding public services in selected cattle corridor districts (Mbarara, Mubende, Luwero and Soroti) of Uganda. The key question was, what ...
Hydrochemistry and fluoride contamination in Ndali-Kasenda crater lakes, Albertine Graben: assessment based on multivariate statistical approach and human health risk.
(Elsevier, 2021-08-08)
Hydrochemistry of crater lakes (n = 15) in the Ndali-Kasenda cluster was deciphered using standard methods of the American Public Health Association to understand the major ion chemistry; spatial distribution, occurrence, ...
Effects of gamma irradiation and ethyl methane sulphonate on morphometric traits and prevalence of common viral diseases and whiteflies in cassava.
(African Journals Online, 2021-08-23)
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important staple and food security crop for millions of people in Africa. However, its nutritional value is limited; yet its productivity is constrained by several pests and diseases. ...
Efficient conditions for in vitro establishment and regeneration of disease-free Ugandan farmer-preferred cassava genotypes
(African Journal of Biotechnology, 2021-08-18)
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is majorly devastated by two viral diseases, cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) and cassava mosaic disease (CMD), resulting in 100% yield loss. Being a clonal plant, nodal cuttings (NC) ...
Mixed diets enhance edible grasshopper, ruspolia differens (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) performance during mass rearing
(IntechOpen, 2021-10-18)
Mixing of diets is a notable dietary practice that is believed to improve performance-related characteristics such as growth, survival rate and egg-laying potential among insect herbivores. However, currently there is ...
The role of density perturbation on planet formation by pebble accretion
(arXiv preprint, 2022-01-28)
Protoplanetary discs exhibit a diversity of gaps and rings of dust material, believed to be a manifestation of pressure maxima commonly associated with an ongoing planet formation and several other physical processes. ...
Planet population synthesis: The role of stellar encounters
(Royal Astronomical Society, 2022-02-28)
Depending on the stellar densities, protoplanetary discs in stellar clusters undergo: background heating; disc truncation-driven by stellar encounter; and photo-evaporation. Disc truncation leads to reduced characteristic ...
