HIV and other sexually transmitted infections in a cohort of women involved in high risk sexual behaviour in Kampala, Uganda
(Sexually transmitted diseases, 2011)
Uganda has long been successful in controlling the HIV epidemic but there is
evidence that HIV prevalence and incidence are increasing again. Data on the HIV/STI epidemic
among sex workers are so far lacking from Uganda. ...
Tri-Trophic Impacts of Bt-Transgenic Maize on Parasitoid Size and Fluctuating Asymmetry in Native vs. Novel Host-Parasitoid Interactions in East Africa
(Insects, 2018)
Environmental stress can affect trait size and cause an increase in the fluctuating asymmetry
(FA) of bilateral morphological traits in many animals. For insect parasitoids, feeding of hosts on
transgenic maize, expressing ...
Status of Water Safety Plan Development and Implementation in Uganda
(International journal of environmental research and public health, 2019)
Uganda was among the first countries in Africa that pioneered Water Safety Plan (WSP) development and implementation, with the first WSP dating back to 2002. The objective of this study was to assess WSP status in Uganda, ...
Adaptation To Climate Change In Uganda: Evidence From Micro Level Data
(Global environmental change, 2011)
This study employed data from the 2005/06 Uganda national household survey to identify adaptation strategies and factors governing their choice in Uganda's agricultural production. Factors that mediate or hinder adaptation ...
The framework tree species approach to conserve medicinal trees in Uganda
(Agroforestry systems, 2011)
Framework species are indigenous tree
species planted in a mixed stand to accelerate natural
regeneration of forest and encourage biodiversity
regeneration. In this study we used the framework
species method to make ...
Beneficiation and Evaluation of Mutaka kaolin
(In Proceedings of Second International Conference on Advances in Engineering and Technology, 2011)
Kaolin is an important industrial mineral which often needs upgrading for special applications. The upgrading process, commonly known as beneficiation, is aimed at removing impurities like feldspar, quartz, iron oxide, ...
Monthly Average Daily Global Solar Irradiation Maps For Uganda: A Location In The Equatorial Region
(Renewable Energy, 2012)
Proper sizing of solar energy systems is necessary in order to optimize their output. This requires a database of solar irradiation for locations for which the systems are being assessed. Solar irradiation data is also ...
An optimal control problem for ovine brucellosis with culling
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)
A mathematical model is used to study the dynamics of ovine brucellosis when transmitted directly from infected individual, through contact with a contaminated environment or vertically through mother to child. The model ...
A Curriculum-Based Approach to Teaching Biosafety Through eLearning
(Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2018)
Anyone working in biosafety capacity enhancement faces the challenge of ensuring
that the impact of a capacity enhancing activity continues and becomes sustainable
beyond the depletion of funding. Many training efforts ...
Evolutionary history of Nile perch Lates sp. inferred from mitochondrial DNA variation analyses
(Zoological Studies, 2013)
Evolutionary histories of aquatic species are often characterized by distinct patterns of genetic
variation, which in part reflect drainage evolution. In the present study, the consequences of paleo-environmental
changes ...
