Enhancing infrared solar absorption efficiency through plasmonic solar absorber using machine learning-assisted design
(Springer Link- Plasmonics, 2024-10-18)This research introduces the architecture of an infrared solar energy absorber coupled with absorption prognosis employing machine learning techniques. Our approach involves creating an efficient absorber tailored for ... -
Computational Insights for interactions between NsP2 and NsP3 of CHIKV and Hormones through DFT computations and Molecular Dynamics Simulations
(Chemistry & Biodiversity, 2024-08-13)The non-structural protein (nsP2 & nsP3) of the CHIKV is responsible for the transmission of viral infection. The main role of nsp is involved in the transcription process at an early stage of the infection. In this work, ... -
Co-sensitization effect of chlorophyll and anthocyanin on optical absorption properties and power conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells
(Springer, 2024-04)In this article, the chemical structure, optical absorption and photoluminescence properties of un/adsorbed dyes of hibiscus flower (H), pumpkin leaf (P), sweet potato leaf (S) and their composites (H: P & H: S) have been ... -
Characterisation of copper indium gallium diselenide solar module in the Ugandan climate
(Kyambogo University [unpublished work], 2014-01)The photovoltaic solar energy from copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) solar module is one of the most promising sources of solar energy for large scale production of clean energy at competitive prices. The focus of ... -
Radiological hazard levels due to gamma emmiting radionuclides in natural water bodies in selected sub-counties of Mubende district
(Kyambogo University [unpublished work], 2016-01)This study was carried out to investigate the health hazard levels due to gamma rays emitted by radionuclides in natural water bodies in selected sub-counties in Mubende District. Owing to the interaction between underground ... -
Assessing the radiological hazards due to radionuclides in sediments and tailings around Kilembe copper mines, Western Uganda
(International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry, 2024-03-19)Copper mining in Kilembe Valley, Western Uganda, between 1956 and 1982 resulted in multiple tailing sites, raising concerns about potential increases in the natural background radiation. In this study, the radioactivity ... -
Influence of device architectures and mobility on response/recovery time of metal halide perovskites: A review
(Journal of Materials Science, 2022-01)Organic–Inorganic perovskite materials have attracted great interest in the research community for photo-detector and solar energy applications. For various photo-detector applications, the response time is a very important ... -
Optical absorption and photoluminescence properties of Cucurbita maxima dye adsorption on TiO2 nanoparticles
(IOP Publishing Materials Research Express, 2023-04)Dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) are 3rd generation photovoltaic device that imitate photosynthesis in plants. The fundamental concept of a DSSCs is that the photoanode is covered by the dye as a sensitiser. Natural dyes ... -
Biomarker Raman bands of estradiol, follicle-stimulating, luteinizing, and progesterone hormones in blood
(Vibrational Spectroscopy, 2022-08)Variation of the levels of reproductive hormones outside the normal range indicates health problems that include cancer, infertility, and menstrual difficulties. This work reports on a potentially novel method of screening ... -
Structural and mechanical properties of non-glazed ceramic tiles developed from selected mineral deposits in Uganda
(Nano-Horizons: Journal of Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies, 2023-07)Uganda is well endowed with clay resources; however, comprehensive knowledge about the composition, structure and suitability of these clays for ceramic tile production is lacking. In this study, we provide a ...
