Which stars can form planets: Planetesimal formation at low metallicities
(EDP Sciences, 2024-01-26)The diversity of exoplanets has been linked to the disc environment in which they form, where the host star metallicity and the formation pathways play a crucial role. In the context of the core accretion paradigm, the ... -
Optimal actuator placement for control of vibrations induced by pedestrian-bridge interactions
(Mathematics in Applied Sciences and Engineering, 2023-09-03)In this paper, an optimal actuator placement problem, with a linear wave equation as the constraint, is considered. In particular, this work presents the framework for finding the best location of actuators depending upon ... -
Morphological traits of jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.): Indicators of diversity, selection and germplasm dispersion in Uganda
(Elsevier, 2023-09-15)Uganda is one of the African countries with increasing production demands of jackfruit since it has gained popularity as a food and nutrition security crop with therapeutic benefits. However, the jackfruit germplasm in ... -
Role of starch in one pot fabrication of mesoporous gamma-alumina with excellent fluoride sorption capacity
(Elsevier Ltd., 2023-08-28)Green synthesis of mesoporous γ-AƖ2O3, a cutting-edge material for sustainable application in medicine, engineering, energy, and water treatment, is still challenging. Our study used a one-pot strategy for facile synthesis ... -
Facile synthesis and characterization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes decorated with hydroxyapatite from cattle horns for adsorptive removal of fluoride.
(Elsevier Ltd., 2023-03-09)Developing a new adsorbent for fluoride removal from cattle horn waste materials by a facile chemical method has shown great potential for fluoride removal. This paper reports the synthesis of multi-walled carbon nanotubes ... -
Association between atherogenic index of plasma and prehypertension or hypertension among normoglycemia subjects in a Japan population: a cross-sectional study
(Springer Nature, 2023-06-29)The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), consisting of triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, is applied to estimate the cardiovascular disease risk. The evidence regarding the association between AIP and ... -
Prognostic role of E2F1 gene expression in human cancer: a meta-analysis
(BioMed Central, 2023-06-05)E2F1 has been confirmed to be highly expressed in a variety of cancers. To better understand the prognostic value of E2F1 in cancer patients, this study was conducted to comprehensively evaluate the prognostic value of ... -
The diagnostic and prognostic role of miR-27a in cancer
(Elsevier, 2023-05-22)MicroRNA-27a (miR-27a) has been reported to be abnormally expressed in patients with cancer, and it could play potential roles as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker of cancers. However, the diagnostic and prognostic ... -
Two new compounds and the anti-mycobacterial activity of the constituents from Zanthoxylum leprieurii root bark
(Elsevier Ltd., 2023-02-08)The emergence of resistance to the existing TB drugs necessitated a search for new anti-mycobacterial compounds from Z. leprieurii root bark, which is used locally for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB) in Uganda. Two new ... -
Characterizations of regular modules
(International Electronic Journal of Algebra, 2022-12-14)Different and distinct notions of regularity for modules exist in the literature. When these notions are restricted to commutative rings, they all coincide with the well-known von-Neumann regularity for rings. We give new ... -
Rubber antioxidants and their transformation products: environmental occurrence and potential impact
(MDPI, 2022-11-07)Antioxidants are prevalently used during rubber production to improve rubber performance, delay aging, and extend service life. However, recent studies have revealed that their transformation products (TPs) could adversely ... -
Application of a modified Poisson model in identifying factors associated with prevalence of pregnancy termination among women aged 15 – 49 years in Uganda
(African Journals Online (AJOL), 2022-10-27)Abortion in Uganda is illegal, only permitted when it places the pregnant mother at risk. This study aimed to apply the modified Poisson model in identifying factors associated with the prevalence of pregnancy termination ... -
Ethnobotanical study of medicinal plants utilized in the management of candidiasis in Northern Uganda
(Springer Nature, 2022-10-14)The emergence of resistant Candida species to antifungal drugs has led to resurgence in herbal usage globally. However, little is known about anti-candida plants. This study explored ethnomedicinal plants as treatment ... -
Synthesis and characterization of hematite biocomposite using cassava starch template for aqueous phase removal of fluoride
(Elsevier, 2022-08-24)In this study, facile synthesis of α-Fe2O3 biocomposite was mediated by cassava starch as a soft template. Batch mode evaluated its sorption behavior for fluoride removal from aqueous media. Characterization studies using ... -
