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(Kyambogo University(unpublished), 2018-11-14)Reflection and transmission of light serve as key parameters in thin films coatings meant for temperature regulation in warm climates.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(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2014-01)The purpose of the study was to investigate the intensity of secondary scattered X-rays when different body regions; the chest, the abdomen and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 ... -
Natural radioactivity levels and radiological hazard indices of soil and water collected from Kaserem limestone quarry, Kapchorwa district, Uganda
(Kyambogo University (un published work), 2017-10)This study was to determine the gamma ray concentration/activity due to naturally occurring radionuclides present in soil and water from Kaserem limestone quarry area in Kapchorwa District and the associated hazard ... -
Performance evaluation of amorphous silicon photovoltaic module using solar light of different wavelengths
(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2022-07)The performance of amorphous silicon photovoltaic module was evaluated using solar light of different wavelengths in this study. The different wavelengths of solar light were filtered by use of colour filters. During ... -
Radiological hazard levels by the gamma ray emitting naturally occurring radioisotopes in selected fish species of Lake Albert in Uganda
(Kyambogo University (un published work), 2017-10)A study was conducted for natural radioactivity in some fish samples from Lake Albert, shared by five riparian districts namely Ntoroko, Kibaale, Hoima, Buliisa and Nebbi, located in the western part of the great ... -
Specific activity levels of radionuclides in spring water, selected plants and soils along Nakivubo channel
(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2014-01)There is an increase in the number of industries that discharge their effluents into Nakivubo channel. It is possible that some of the industrial effluents may contain radioactive nuclides since they are widely used in ... -
A study of upland clay from ant-hills as a refractory material.
(Kyambogo University [unpublished work], 2016-01)This study was purposed to investigate the suitability of upland ant-hill clays for fabricating refractory bricks. The chemical composition of the anthill clay was determined using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer ...
