Contribution of climatic variability and human activities to stream flow changes in the Haraz River basin, Northern Iran
(Journal of Hydro-environment Research, 2019-06)
In northern Iran’s Haraz River basin between 1975 and 2010, hydrological sensitivity, double mass curve, and Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) methods were applied to monitoring and analysing changes in stream flow ...
Assessment of impacts of land use changes on water resources of river Mpanga catchment
(Kyambogo University, 2019-11)
Mpanga Catchment has in recent decades been exposed to changes in land use/cover (LULC). This could have been due to intensive agricultural activities to sustain the needs of the increasing population. Transition in land ...
Applicability of public private partnerships in development of infrastructure in higher institutions of learning in Uganda
(Kyambogo University (un published work), 2019-11)
Public Private Partnership system is considered an innovative finance strategy which offers good prospects for global construction industry. Yet, since the adoption of the system in Uganda, the benefits have not been fully ...
A computational methodology for simulating quasi-brittle fracture problems
(Elsevier: Computers & Structures, 2019-04-15)
The paper focuses on an efficient and simple methodologies for simulating the three dimensional (3D) quasi-brittle fracture problems. Strain-softening is performed on the elements by a developed anisotropic continuum damage ...
African food insecurity in a changing climate: the roles of science and policy
(Wiley Online Library: Food and Energy Security, 2018-12-12)
African population is projected to double to 2.48 billion people by 2050. The population increase poses a serious challenge of increasing food supply to meet the future demand. This challenge is compounded by climate change ...
Dynamically dimensioned search embedded with piecewise opposition-based learning for global optimization
(2019-05-26)
Dynamically dimensioned search (DDS) is a well-known optimization algorithm in the field of single solution-based heuristic global search algorithms. Its successful application in the calibration of watershed environmental ...
Hydrological model supported by a step-wise calibration against sub-flows and validation of extreme flow events
(MDPI, 2019-01-31)
Most hydrological models have fixed structures and their calibrations are typified by a conventional approach in which the overall water balance closure is considered (without a step-wise focus on sub-flows’ variation). ...
Osmotic consolidation of expansive soil
(Japanese Geotechnical Society Special Publication, 2019)
The mechanical behavior of expansive soils is influenced by the concentration of salts in their pore water. Research
has shown that volume change of soil can occur due to a difference in salt concentration in the pore ...
Assessing the impact of bitumen types on the Performance of asphalt concrete road pavement construction in Uganda
(Kyambogo University (un published work), 2018-12)
This research was conducted to assess the impact of local asphalt binders on the
performance of asphalt concrete road pavement construction in Uganda. The bitumen
samples were collected from ongoing road construction ...
