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 ...
Application of Classical Kalman filtering technique in assimilation of multiple data types to NeQuick model
(EDP Sciences, 2022-03-03)
This study attempts to improve estimation of ionospheric electron density profiles over Korea and adjacent areas by employing classical Kalman filtering technique to assimilate Total Electron Content (TEC) data from various ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Phytochemical screening, antimycobacterial activity and acute toxicity of crude extracts of selected medicinal plant species used locally in the treatment of tuberculosis in Uganda
(Springer Nature, 2022-02-17)
Background
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading causes of death globally, and the rise in drug-resistant forms of TB has become a significant threat. Subsequently, it is crucial to explore new, effective and safe anti-TB ...
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 ...
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 ...
