We propose a new design for a passive photonic reservoir computer on a silicon photonics chip which can be used in the context of optical communication applications, and study it through detailed numerical simulations. ...

Over the years, conventional Laboratories in African Universities have been hampered by inadequate resources in terms of the required hardware, space and skilled personnel to administer them. This paper describes a ...

In this paper, we examine the declining trends in voter turn-up in Uganda and other developing countries. We also look at the possibility of using ICT especially the widely used mobile phones to improve citizen participation ...

This paper explores prospects for developing incentives and capacity for sustainable waste reuse in Uganda. Whereas urban authorities focus on waste collection and disposal as a sole approach o waste management, there is ...

As Moore’s law comes to an end, neuromorphic approaches to computing are on the rise. One of these, passive photonic reservoir computing, is a strong candidate for computing at high bitrates (>10 Gbps) and with low ...

Mulching is one of the major soil and water conservation measures applied for conserving soil moisture and modifying soil physical and chemical environment. The study aimed at assessing the effect of mulching on soil ...

For the past decade, Makerere University seen integration of ICTs as an enhancement tool in its pedagogical processes. The level of enhancement has been slow and not satisfactory considering the low number of staff ...

Open Education Resources (OERs) have potential to facilitate teaching and learning in Open and Distance Learning (ODL). However, with emerging technologies, it is possible to access these resources ubiquitously, say ...

The teaching and learning process is becoming a big challenge at Higher Education Institutions in Sub-Saharan Africa. This is mainly due to the constraints created by the liberalisation of university education and the ...

World over, open distance learning (ODL) is widely articulated and vouchered as a panacea pedagogy for increased access and flexibility to higher education. In reality, however, the actual use of ODL approaches in higher ...
