Treatment of organized industrial zone wastewater by microfiltration/reverse osmosis membrane process for water recovery: from lab to pilot scale
(Science Direct, 2020-09-21)The global increase in industrialization has resulted into water scarcity. Research on water use efficiency and water reclamation is paramount in addressing this scarcity. In this study, laboratory and on-site pilot scale ... -
Nurse managers’ perspectives on care quality and safety in rural hospitals in Uganda.
(Unisa Press Journals, 2020-09-09)Rural hospitals in sub-Saharan African countries play a key role in dealing with a high level of disease burden, but are usually poorly equipped with resources. Ward nurse managers in rural hospitals are in an ideal position ... -
Validation of the atmospheric boundary layer height estimated from the MODIS atmospheric profile data at an equatorial site
(MDPI, 2020-08-26)The atmospheric boundary layer height is important for constraining air pollution and meteorological models. This study attempted to validate the MODIS-estimated atmospheric boundary layer height (ABLH), and variation in ... -
Spatio-Temporal Variation in the Concentration of Inhalable Particulate Matter (PM10) in Uganda.
(MDPI AG, 2019-05-17)Long-term particulate matter (PM10) measurements were conducted during the period January 2016 to September 2017 at three sites in Uganda (Mbarara, Kyebando, and Rubindi) representing a wide range of urbanization. Spatial, ... -
New red giant star in the Kepler open cluster NGC 6819
(Elsevier, 2018)A recent study indicated that 39 red giant stars showing solar-like oscillations were discovered in the field of Kepleropen cluster NGC 6819. The study was based on photometric distance estimates of 27 stars out of the 39. ... -
Dust ion acoustic double layers in a 4-component dusty plasma
(Springer, 2018-02-22)In this paper, we study the Dust ion acoustic (DIA) solitons in an unmagnetised dusty plasma comprising of cold dust particles, electrons that follow Cairns distribution, warm inertial ions, and ion-beams of equal mass, ... -
The structure of a Quasi-Keplerian accretion disk around magnetized stars
(The American Astronomical Society, 2018-06-04)In this paper, we present the complete structure of a quasi-Keplerian thin accretion disk with an internal dynamo around a magnetized neutron star. We assume a full quasi-Keplerian disk with the azimuthal velocity deviating ... -
Non-Linear Ion-Acoustic Solitary Waves in Electron-Positron-Ion Plasma with Non-Thermal Electrons.
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2017-05-26)Ion-acoustic solitary (IAS) waves in electron-positron-ion (e-p-i) plasma have been of interest to many researchers probably due to their relevance in understanding the Universe. However, the study of non-linear ion-acoustic ... -
Onset of linear instability in a complex plasma with cairns distributed electrons
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-03-07)A rigorous theoretical investigation of linear dust ion acoustic (DIA) solitary waves in an unmagnetized complex plasma consisting of ion and ion beam fluids, nonthermal electrons that are Cairns distributed and immobile ... -
Strengthening school-community partnership for quality education in Seed secondary schools in West Nile region, Uganda.
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology (AJEST), 2020-07-15)The school and the community environment each offer a wealth of opportunities and support in order to achieve quality education. The mixed method study grounded on the theory of overlapping spheres of influence was meant ... -
Recovery of succinic acid from whey fermentation broth by reactive extraction coupled with multistage processes
(Science Direct, 2020-06)Fermentative production of succinic acid (SA) from renewable resources such as whey is environmentally sustainable compared to petroleum-based synthesis. However, a major drawback of fermentation is the concurrent production ... -
Anodic oxidation of effluents from stages of MBR-UF Municipal landfill leachate treatment plant
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2020-05-18)This study used boron-doped diamond electrode on niobium substrate (Nb/boron-doped diamond [BDD]) for the anodic oxidation of landfill leachate in a batch reactor. Raw leachate and biologically pretreated effluent samples ... -
Antecedents of the theory of planned behaviour as correlates of math anxiety among students in rural Secondary Schools in Western Uganda.
(European Journal of Education Studies, 2020)Mathematical abilities have been linked to positive outcomes and well-being in adults, although secondary school students in Western Uganda still exhibit math anxiety. Thus, the purpose of the study was to investigate the ... -
Effect of income dynamics on household food security in rural communities , evidence from Uganda
(International Journal of Technology and Management, 2019)The Objective of the study was to investigate the effect of income dynamics on households’ food security in rural economies with evidence from Uganda. The study was completely a desk review following a descriptive ... -
Prevalence of jigger flea (Tunga Penetrans) infestation amongst age groups, male and female persons in Jinja District, Eastern Uganda
