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 ...
Activity levels of gamma ray emitting radionuclides in food crop samples in selected tobacco farming areas in Aura and Maracha districts
(Kyambogo University (unpublished work), 2017-12)
The farming activities, especially Tobacco production in Terego East and Terego West
in Arua district and Maracha East County in Maracha district employ fertilizers such as
NPK, DAP, CAN, TSP and UREA to enhance soil ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2014-01)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 ...
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 ...
Determination of radiological hazard levels in soil, mine tailings and rock samples from selected gold mines in Busia district, Uganda
(Kyambogo University(unpublished), 2018-11-15)
This study was designed to determine radiological hazard levels in soil, mine tailings and
rock samples from Agata, Okame, Busia 90 and Greenstone Resource Limited Gold
mines in Busia District. The specific activity of ...
Gamma radiation exposure levels due to radionuclides in soils from selected gold mines in Karamoja
(Kyambogo University(unpublished work), 2016-01)
The aim of this study was to determine radiation exposure levels due to gamma ray emitting
radionuclides in soils from selected gold mines in Karamoja and the associated hazard
indices. The people of Karamoja use poor ...
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 ...
