Small tropical reservoirs and fish cage culture: a pilot study conducted in Machakos district, Kenya
(Aquaculture International., 2011-01-07)
The findings of this study provide useful insights into the key aspects of fish cage farming to be considered during setting and overall management of multi-purpose water resources so as to maximise their aquacultural ...
Nitrification in modified sewerage stabilisation ponds prior to discharge into the Ugandan side of Lake Victoria
(International Journal of Environmental Studies., 2010-12-08)
Large volumes of wastewater in the Ugandan capital Kampala have seriously polluted Lake Victoria, from which the city draws its freshwater. Untreated effluent drains directly into this lake. In tropical temperatures, ...
Determination of selected acaricide residues in soils and water resources around cattle dip tanks in Mbarara district, western Uganda
(Kyambogo University (un published work), 2019-10)
This study determined the levels of selected acaricide residues in soils and water samples around cattle dips in Mbarara District western Uganda. Samples were collected, prepared and analysed for amitraz, chlorpyrifos and ...
Catalytic potential of natural zeolites and selected metalic ores in pyrolysis of groundnut shells for bio-oil production
(Kyambogo University (un published work), 2019-07)
Catalytic pyrolysis is a promising thermochemical method of conversion of biomass to chemicals and fuels compatible with current petrochemical engines. Catalytic modification of pyrolyzed bio-oils are geared towards the ...
Optimization of the physicochemical parameters of selected agricultural wastes to increase biosynthetic gas and biochar yields
(Kyambogo University (unpublished work), 2019-10)
Biosynthetic gas and biochar are gaseous and solid fuels, respectively, that can be produced from various lignocellulosic feedstock via pyrolysis and are recognized as clean and attractive sources of renewable energy. They ...
Characterization and analysis of some natural dyes from selected plants in Uganda
(Makerere University (Unpublished work)., 2012-08)
Forty different plant species with potential to yield natural dyes were collected from different
parts of Uganda between 2004 and 2008. Extraction of the plant materials was done using
distilled water after heating for ...

The fatty acid composition of edible grasshopper Ruspolia differens (Serville) (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) feeding on diversifying diets of host plants
(Wiley online Library: Entomological Research, 2018-12-12)
Ruspolia differens (Serville) (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) is a highly valued edible grasshopper species in Africa. However, the effects of plant diets on lipid content and fatty acid composition of R. differens are not ...
Speciation of heavy metals in water from the Uganda side of Lake Victoria
(International Journal of Environmental Studies., 2010-02-15)
Different forms of copper Cu, zinc Zn, lead Pb and cadmium Cd in water from the Uganda side of Lake Victoria (25°C, pH 6.75–7.18), the second largest inland freshwater lake in the world, have been studied using ion‐exchange, ...
A detailed time series assessment of the diet of Lesser Flamingos: further explanation for their itinerant behaviour
(Hydrobiologia., 2013-04-27)
We hypothesised that changes in nutritional composition and quality of the pelagic phytoplankton community influence the occurrence of
Lesser Flamingo populations in two Kenyan saline–
alkaline lakes, Nakuru and Bogoria. ...
