Facile synthesis and characterization of multi-walled carbon nanotubes decorated with hydroxyapatite from cattle horns for adsorptive removal of fluoride
(Heliyon Open access, 2023-03-08)
Developing a new adsorbent for fluoride removal from cattle horn waste materials by a facile chemical method has shown great potential for fluoride removal. This paper reports the synthesis of multi-walled carbon nanotubes ...
Food insecurity, dietary diversity and the right to adequate food among households in landslide-prone communities in Eastern Uganda: A cohort study
(Plos One, 2023-04)
We assessed food insecurity, dietary diversity and the right to adequate food among house-
holds in communities in Eastern Uganda that were affected by major landslides in 2010 and
2018. A prospective cohort study was ...
Green practices implementation for environmental sustainability by five‑star hotels in Kampala, Uganda
(SpringerLink, 2023-03)
Hotels operate continuously and are known to be one of the contributors of global pollution. Strategies like adoption of green practices would be a remedy to mitigate pollution and their effects for environmental sustainability. ...
Watershed management and climate change adaptation mechanisms used by people living in dryland areas of Lokere catchment in Karamoja, Uganda
(Environmental & Socio-economic Studies, 2023)
The effects of climate change in Uganda are manifested by severe and sometimes extreme weather events such as droughts and
landslides. An Integrated Watershed Management (IWM) plan was initiated in the Karamoja region, ...
Phytochemical-based evidence of the health benefits of bidens pilosa extracts and cytotoxicity
(Chemistry Africa, 2023-03)
Purpose
Bidens pilosa L. is traditionally used as a flavouring agent in foods, in the treatment of diseases, in agriculture as
a biopesticide and herbicide, and in the phytoremediation of soils contaminated with heavy ...
Potential of moisture conservation practices to improve soil properties and nutrient status of Robusta coffee plant
(Agronomy, 2023-04)
Soil moisture conservation practices (SMCPs) have been adopted in Uganda to adapt to
the effects of climate variability. However, limited information exists on how conservation measures
influence the physico-chemical ...
Antibacterial and anticancer activities of green-synthesized silver nanoparticles using Photinia glabra fruit extract
(Nanomedicine, 2023-08)
Aims: We prepared Photinia glabra (PG) aqueous fruit extract, utilized it to synthesize silver nanoparticles (PG-Ag NPs) and evaluated the antibacterial and anticancer activities of the nanoparticles (NPs). Materials & ...
Medicinal plants used in the management of sexual dysfunction, infertility and improving virility in the east African community: a systematic review
(Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2023)
Sexual disorders such as erectile dysfunction (ED), sterility, and sexual inappetence represent some of the complex reproductive
challenges that require addressing the underlying causes. Te aim of this paper was to ...
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 ...
