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(Kyambogo University [unpublished work], 2022-07)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 ...
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(Kyambogo University(Unpublished work), 2021-03)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 ...
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(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2022-07)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 ...
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 ...
Biomarker Raman bands of estradiol, follicle-stimulating, luteinizing, and progesterone hormones in blood
(Vibrational Spectroscopy, 2022-08)
Variation of the levels of reproductive hormones outside the normal range indicates health problems that include cancer, infertility, and menstrual difficulties. This work reports on a potentially novel method of screening ...
Optical absorption and photoluminescence properties of Cucurbita maxima dye adsorption on TiO2 nanoparticles
(IOP Publishing Materials Research Express, 2023-04)
Dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) are 3rd generation photovoltaic device that imitate photosynthesis in plants. The fundamental concept of a DSSCs is that the photoanode is covered by the dye as a sensitiser. Natural dyes ...
Influence of device architectures and mobility on response/recovery time of metal halide perovskites: A review
(Journal of Materials Science, 2022-01)
Organic–Inorganic perovskite materials have attracted great interest in the research community for photo-detector and solar energy applications. For various photo-detector applications, the response time is a very important ...
Determination of radiological hazard levels of gammma rays from radionuclides in water from selected boreholes in Moroto district, Uganda
(Kyambogo University, 2021-03)
This study was designed to identify gamma ray emitting radionuclides using the GDM 20 NaI(Tl) detector and to determine and compare the activity concentrations, absorbed dose rates, annual effective dose equivalent and the ...
Assessing the radiological hazards due to radionuclides in sediments and tailings around Kilembe copper mines, Western Uganda
(International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry, 2024-03-19)
Copper mining in Kilembe Valley, Western Uganda, between 1956 and 1982 resulted in multiple tailing sites, raising concerns about potential increases in the natural background radiation. In this study, the radioactivity ...
