(National Fisheries Resources Research Institute, 2011)Aquaculture development commentary supports the formation of fish farmer associations or producer organizations as avenues for cultivating small- and medium-scale commercial farmers. However, little is known about the ... -
Development of Low-cost Captive Breeding and Hatching Technologies for the African Lungfish (Protopterus aethiopicus and P. amphibius) to Improve Livelihoods, Nutrition, and Income for Vulnerable Communities in Uganda
(Aquaculture Research and Development Center, 2015)Culturing resilient species in the prevalent variable climate conditions will be beneficial to African aquaculture. Air breathing fish like the African lungfish (Protopterus sp.) will be desirable, but fish farmers lack ... -
Spatio-temporal Variations and Potential Health Risks of Heavy Metals in Water from River Manafwa, Uganda
(Letters in Applied NanoBioScience, 2022)The epicenter of flash flood inundations and landslides in Uganda have been areas around Mt. Elgon. By implication, it has led into loss of lives, food and water insecurity. This study assessed the seasonal variations in ... -
X-ray diffraction and thermodynamics kinetics of SiB6 under gamma irradiation dose
(Silicon, 2019)The silicide hexaboride (B6Si) was irradiated with 60Co at room temperature to study the structural changes and weight kinetics. The B6Si samples were irradiated using a gamma source with a dose rate (D) of 0.27 Gy/s. At ... -
Trends and status of women in physics in Uganda
(AIP Publishing LLC, 2019)Most women in Uganda with an advanced degree in physics find employment at a university, teaching and conducting research. Very few take jobs in by industry or at government research laboratories. This paper discusses ... -
Thermodynamics kinetics of boron carbide under gamma irradiation dose
(International Journal of Modern Physics B, 2019)In this paper, high purity boron carbide samples were irradiated by 60Co gamma radioisotope source (0.27 Gy/s dose rate) with 50, 100, 150 and 200 irradiation hours at room-temperature. The unirradiated and irradiated ... -
Thermal Performance Evaluation of the Funnel Solar Cooker of Different Funnel Lengths Implemented in Nagongera, Uganda
