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 ... -
Projected land use change in an oil-rich landscape in Uganda: A participatory modelling approach
(Elsevier, 2022-03-13)The discovery of oil in the North Albertine Rift Landscape of Uganda has increased pressure on land and heightened the potential for resource use conflict. In this article, we focus on changing land use dynamics as oil ... -
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. ... -
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 ... -
Role of termitesin nutrient recycling and productivity of beans: a case study of Muni village, Oluko Sub-County, Arua District, Uganda
(Online Student Journal of the University of Oldenburg, 2021)This study examined the role of termites in nutrient recycling and productivity of beans in Muni village. Soil pH and nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous) were established using standard methods. The productivity of beans ... -
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 ... -
Spatial distribution of tsetse flies and trypanosome infection status in a vector genetic transition zone in northern Uganda
(Journal of Parasitology Research, 2022-06-01)Background. Tsetse flies are vectors of the genus Trypanosoma that cause African trypanosomiasis, a serious parasitic disease of people and animals. Reliable data on the vector distribution and the trypanosome species they ... -
Spatial variation in physicochemical surface water quality in River Rwizi, Western Uganda
(Journal of Water Resource and Protection,, 2019)River Rwizi originates from the Buhweju hills. It is a major source of water for the inhabitants of Mbarara Municipality and surrounding environment. In this study, spatial variation of water quality in River Rwizi section ... -
Studies on the utilization and proximate composition of wild Aframomum anguistifolium (sonn.) K. Schum fruits in Nakaseke district, Uganda.
(African Journal of Food Agriculture Nutrition and Development, 2019)Nakaseke district is located in the central region of Uganda and has high abundance of edible Aframomum anguistifolium (wild cardamom) fruit, locally known as “Amatuunguru’’. The fruit is consumed by only few ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
