Planetary core formation via multispecies pebble accretion
(Oxford University Press, 2021-12-02)
In the general classical picture of pebble-based core growth, planetary cores grow by accretion of single pebble species. The growing planet may reach the so-called pebble isolation mass, at which it induces a pressure ...
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 ...
Spatial distribution of unique biological communities and their control over surface reflectivity of the stanley glacier, Uganda
(Frontiers, 2022-02-17)
Diverse microbes have been revealed to live in glaciers worldwide, but only a few biological studies were dedicated to glaciers in tropical Africa. These glaciers are shrinking rapidly and are expected to disappear shortly. ...
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 ...
Mentoring teacher trainees in universities in Uganda: a dimension of continuous supervision of school practice
(American Journal of Sciences and Engineering Research, 2022-01-17)
While the globe is faced with COVID-19 pandemic, there are reforms that need to be advanced to ensure continuity in education while maintaining the standards of quality. Uganda’s university curriculum for teacher training ...
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 ...
Grain hermetic storage adoption in Northern Uganda: awareness, use, and the constraints to technology adoption
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2022-09-15)
Post-harvest storage losses (PHLs) remain significant in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) due to several factors mainly insect pests and molds. Hermetic storage technologies (HSTs) are being promoted to address these storage losses. ...
Ethnicity, gender, and migration status:
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2022-07-29)
Globally, 298,000 women die due to pregnancy related causes and half of this occurs in Africa. In Uganda, maternal mortality has marginally reduced from 526 to 336 per 100,000 live births between 2001 and 2016. Health ...
Laboratory diagnosis of candidiasis
(IntechOpen, 2022-08-04)
The burden of Candidiasis continues to increase and so does the Candida species. Although Candida species are closely similar phenotypically, they differ from each other in terms of epidemiology, genetic characteristics, ...
