Determination of radiological hazard levels of gammma rays from radionuclides in water from selected boreholes in Moroto district, Uganda
(Kyambogo University, 2021-03)This study was designed to identify gamma ray emitting radionuclides using the GDM 20 NaI(Tl) detector and to determine and compare the activity concentrations, absorbed dose rates, annual effective dose equivalent and the ... -
Determination of the characteristics of solid fuel developed from a mixture of thermoplastic wastes and clay materials
(Kyambogo University(Unpublished work), 2021-03)This study was driven by the fact that plenty of plastics which have potentials to be used as source of fuel are left as wastes in the environment without proper utilization. The study was directed toward the use of a ... -
Gamma radiation exposure levels due to radionuclides in soils from selected gold mines in Karamoja
(Kyambogo University(unpublished work), 2016-01)The aim of this study was to determine radiation exposure levels due to gamma ray emitting radionuclides in soils from selected gold mines in Karamoja and the associated hazard indices. The people of Karamoja use poor ... -
Gamma ray activity levels and radiological hazard indices of Radionuclides in mine tailings from selected mines in Southwestern Uganda.

Infra-red reflectance and transmittance by thin film coatings of some selected metals on glass substrate
(Kyambogo University(unpublished), 2018-11-14)Reflection and transmission of light serve as key parameters in thin films coatings meant for temperature regulation in warm climates. In this study, the infrared reflectance and transmittance for three different thicknesses ... -
Intensity of secondary scattered x-rays during x-ray diagnostic procedures in selected diagnostic centres in Uganda
(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2014-01)The purpose of the study was to investigate the intensity of secondary scattered X-rays when different body regions; the chest, the abdomen and the lower limbs were exposed to X-rays during radiography. The study used ... -
Investigation of the compressive strength of ntawo ball clay fired to different temperatures at different rates of temperature rise
(Kyambogo University (un published work), 2017-12)This study was to investigate the compressive strength of fired Ntawo Ball Clay found in Mukono District in Central Uganda. The clay sample was first analyzed using X-ray Diffraction Spectrometer Model RIX3000 to determine ... -
Investigation of the compressive strength of ntawo ball clay fired to different temperatures for different holding times
(Kyambogo University (un published work), 2017-12)This study focused on ball clay from ntawo deposit from Mukono District, in central Uganda with respect to its compressive strength. The chemical compounds by percentage weight were determined using RIX 3000 Spectrometer ... -
