(BMC Infectious Diseases, 2020-01-13)
Background: Diarrhoea remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children under 5 years in sub-Saharan Africa. Of the three East African countries, Uganda has the worst mortality rate in children < 5 years, with ...
Device architecture for visible and near-infrared photodetectors based on two-dimensional SnSe2 and MoS2: a review
(Micromachines, 2020-07-31)
While band gap and absorption coefficients are intrinsic properties of a material and determine its spectral range, response time is mainly controlled by the architecture of the device and electron/hole mobility. Further, ...
Effects of low-dose γ-irradiation on the structural, morphological, and optical properties of fluorine-doped tin oxide thin films
(Radiation Physics and Chemistry, 2020-07-1)
This paper presents the effects of low-dose γ-irradiation on the structural, morphological, and optical properties of Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) thin films for application as a passive thermal control coating in future ...
Phytochemical composition of aqueous crude extracts of selected pesticidal plants used against brassica vegetable pests
(International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences, 2020-01-20)
The phytochemistry of five plants (Phytolacca dodecandra, Azadirachta indica, Capsicum frutescens, Allium cepa and Tagetes minuta) was determined to evaluate their potential as sources of alternative pesticides against ...
An ethnobotanical study of plants used for the treatment of malaria in Budondo sub-county, Eastern Uganda
(Ethnobotany Research and Applications, 2020-01-30)
Background: Malaria is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in most developing countries, and in Uganda over 95% of the country is endemic with malaria. Given the increasing widespread resistance to current drugs, ...
Effect of supply-chain sourcing and delivery of liquid nitrogen and frozen semen on the quality of public animal breeding services in the selected cattle corridor Districts of Uganda
(Journal of Supply Chain Management Systems, 2020-08-18)
The study focused on the effect of supply-chain sourcing and delivery of liquid nitrogen and frozen semen on the public animal breeding services in selected cattle corridor districts (Mbarara, Mubende, Luwero & Soroti) of ...
Evaluation of radionuclide concentrations and average annual committed effective dose due to medicinal plants and soils commonly consumed by pregnant women in Osukuru, Tororo (Uganda).
(Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2020-11-17)
The intention of the study was to establish the activity concentrations and the annual committed effective dose due to ingestion of medicinal plants and soils by pregnant women and their probable effects to infants. The ...
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 ...
