Disposal of faecal sludge particularly in slum areas is a difficult undertaking given the lack of space and resources. Inaccurate prediction of sludge accumulation rates (SAR) in pit latrines leads to unplanned pit latrine ...

Meat is world widely known to be a nutrient rich food. It provides valuable amounts of proteins, vitamins such as retinol and vitamin B12 and minerals namely; iron, selenium and zinc with an increased bio availability than ...

The use of Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) for Environment monitoring by the Uganda National Meteorological Authority has increased massively over the past 15 years. This increase is mainly due to the savings in time, ...

In this study, the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of three Ficus species growing in Uganda were determined. Basic density and water absorption rate were (0.33 g/cm3, 134) in Ficus natalensis, (0.32 g/cm3, ...

In this study, an integrated approach incorporating Remote Sensing (RS), Geographical Information System (GIS), local meteorological weather stations’ data and NASA’s virtual meteorological stations’ data were used to ...

Failure to quantify nutrients in feacal sludge usually leads to its poor disposal resulting into surface water and groundwater pollution. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine and model the distribution of ...

Since climate change is no respecter of geographical boundaries, concerted mitigating actions such as clean development mechanism (CDM), are desirable. In CDM, developed countries can earn certified emission reduction ...

Crane hoisting operations represent a significant portion of the work scope on construction sites, especially those that have adopted a modularized approach to construction. Creating metrics that can be used in the automation ...

Conventional treatment techniques cannot meet the stringent modern water quality regulations emanating from the need to provide high quality drinking water. Therefore, a number of studies have suggested low pressure membrane ...

For many developing nations, biogas has traditionally been used for household cooking and lighting. Methane (CH4) content in biogas has to be increased by removing incombustible carbon dioxide (CO2) and potentially corrosive ...
