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 ...
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(Kyambogo University(Unpublished work), 2021-03)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 ...

Non-cancer risks and mitigation strategies of fe, mn, cu and cr in milled maize flour
(Kyambogo University, 2021-08)
In Uganda, maize (Zea mays), is milled into flour that is used as an ingredient in many food products including baby foods. Milling is mainly done in hammer mills that are fabricated using mild steel. Mild steel is made ...
Evaluating the potential of pureed fresh green mature bananas as a functional ingredient for production of bread
(Kyambogo University(Unpublished work), 2021-08)
The nutritional value of green mature cooking bananas is mainly attributed to their resistant
starch and dietary fibre content. This study aimed at developing bread using a composite
mixture of wheat (70%) and pureed ...
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(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2022-07)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 ...
