Assessment of Cadmium and Lead in dried sewage sludge from Lubigi feacal sludge and wastewater treatment plant in Uganda
(Journal of Water Resource and Protection, 2019)Sludge contains organic and inorganic compounds including traces of heavy metals such as lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr) and others. These metals restrict the use of sludge in agriculture ... -
The biological integrity of streams and channels draining into the Rwizi River system in Western Uganda
(East African Journal of Science, Technology and Innovation, 2019)Rwizi River, often called the life-line river, supports over five million people in Western Uganda and is a major contributor of freshwater to Lake Victoria. Surrounded by a large and rapidly growing population, the river ... -
Causes of losses and the economic loss estimates at post-harvest handling points along the beef value chain in Uganda
(Journal of Agricultural Extension and Rural Development, 2019)Uganda’s beef industry has been growing slowly and requires sustained monitoring of actors at postharvest handling points in order to decrease public health risks and losses. This study documented causes of losses and ... -
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 ... -
Cloning of gonadotropin Gph-alpha, FSH-beta and LH-beta subunits and seasonal profiles of steroid hormones in wild-caught Nile perch, Lates niloticus
(Elsevier, 2022-04-05)The Nile perch (np; Lates niloticus) is a freshwater teleost species with a potential for aquaculture in freshwater surroundings. However, wild-caught breeders have persistently failed to spawn spontaneously in captivity. ... -
Compliance to riverbank regulation guidelines and its impact on the quality of River Enyau in Arua Municipality, Uganda
(International Journal of Agriculture, Environment and Bioresearch, 2019)This study documented the human activities carried out in the protected zones of river Enyau (within 30 m of river’s bank) and their influence on the quality of the river. Human activities in the protected bank of river ... -
Cyanogenic potential of selected cassava varieties in Zombo District, Uganda
(International Journal of Nutrition and Food Sciences, 2017)Both improved and local cassava varieties are widely grown and also, consumed in Zombo district as well as West Nile Sub region and Uganda as a whole. However, all cassava varieties contain cyanogenic glycosides which are ... -
Detoxification of Nyar-Udota cassava variety in Zombo district by fermentation
(2017)Fermentation is capable of detoxifying cassava cultivars. Cassava is one of the most important food crops in the world and in Uganda it is the second most consumed food crop after bananas. However, cassava has some toxic ... -
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, ... -
