Potential of push-pull technology options for managing fall armyworm (Spodoptera Frugiperda) in Maize
(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2022-10)
Fall armyworm is a key insect pest of maize. Without proper management, the
pest can cause maize yield losses in the range of 8-21 million tones. It has been
through application of synthetic pesticides, use of natural ...
The effect of refugee population influx on plant diversity of Bugoma forest, Uganda
(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2022-09)
Refugee population is one of the causes of land and environmental degradation in refugee
hosting countries. However, the relationship between forest plant diversity and refugee
population influx is not well documented. ...
Mycotoxins’ toxicological mechanisms involving humans, livestock and their associated health concerns: a review
(Toxins : MDPI, 2022-02-24)
Mycotoxins are well established toxic metabolic entities produced when fungi invade agricultural/farm produce, and this happens especially when the conditions are favourable. Exposure to mycotoxins can directly take place ...
Comparison of roki and sunflower oils as sensible heat storage materials for cooking applications
(Kyambogo University [unpublished work], 2022-07)
Sensible heat storage materials are cheaper than latent heat storage materials for small storage
volumes. Static experiments to evaluate the thermal performances of two Ugandan locally
available edible vegetable cooking ...
Investigating changes in climatic dry conditions across the water management zones in Uganda
(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2022-09)
Prolonged insufficient precipitation associated with evapotranspiration affects
society in various ways such as wilting of crops. Studies with comprehensive
analyses of climatic droughts while considering hydro-climatic ...
Factors influencing students’ participation in University sports in Tanzania: a case study of Morogoro region
(Kyambogo University [unpublished work], 2022-07)
This study investigated factors influencing students’ participation in university sports
programmes in Morogoro Region (Tanzania). The study was guided by selfdetermination
theory by Deci and Ryan (1985 and 2000), which ...
A mathematical model for harvesting in a stage-structured cannibalistic system
(SpringerLink, 2022)
To increase the production of proteins in East Africa, aquaculture gained increased attention recently. In this paper, we study the interactions of a consumer-resource system with harvesting, in which African Catfish ...
Formulation of an iron biofortified bean-silverfish instant sauce for pregnant women
(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2022-07)
In Uganda, there is an increasing burden of anaemia especially among pregnant women and
children aged 6-59 months. Some of the readily available and affordable food to pregnant mothers
are beans which have relative amounts ...
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 ...
A stage-structured fishery model for African catfish and Nile Tilapia feeding on two food resources with harvesting
(Journal of Applied Mathematics : Hindawi, 2022-01-17)
In this paper, a fishery model for African catfish and Nile tilapia is formulated. This model is used to compare financial profit and biomass outtakes in a two-species system versus single species systems. We consider a ...
