Speciation of heavy metals in water from the Uganda side of Lake Victoria
(International Journal of Environmental Studies, 2010-02)
Different forms of copper Cu, zinc Zn, lead Pb and cadmium Cd in water from the Uganda side ofLake Victoria (25°C, pH 6.75–7.18), the second largest inland freshwater lake in the world, havebeen studied ...
Phytoplankton patterns along a series of small man-made reservoirs in Kenya
(Environmental Monitoring and Assessment., 2014-04-10)
We studied nine small man-made reservoirs located in different climate regions of Kenya to get an insight into the relationship between phytoplankton community structure and its environment. The investigated ponds form ...
Fatty acid composition of muscle, liver, and adipose tissue of freshwater fish from Lake Victoria, Uganda
(Journal of Aquatic Food Product Technology., 2011)
Fish oils may differ in fatty acid (FA) composition depending on diet. Oils extracted from muscle, liver, and adipose tissue of Nile perch (Lates niloticus), Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), silver fish (Rastrineobola ...
Performance of Egg-Shell and Fish-Scale as Adsorbent Materials for Chromium (VI) Removal from Effluents of Tannery Industries in Eastern Uganda
(Open Access Library Journal, 2017-08-16)
The performance of egg-shells and fish-scales biomaterials in separating
chromium (VI) ions from tannery effluents obtained from tannery industries
in Jinja town of Eastern Uganda was investigated. Using crushed egg-shell ...
Lignosulfonate biomass derived N and S co-doped porous carbon for efficient oxygen reduction reaction
(Royal Society of Chemistry., 2018-06-26)
Finding sustainable, active, inexpensive, and stable electrocatalysts to replace Pt-based materials for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) remains a significant challenge. Here we report the use of functionalized lignin ...
Utilization of solid waste as a substrate for production of oil from oleaginous microorganisms
(Hindawi: Journal of Lipids, 2018-05-16)
The overwhelming demand of oil and fats to meet the ever increasing needs for biofuel, cosmetics production, and other industrial purposes has enhanced a number of innovations in this industry. One such innovation is the ...
Nutrient alterations in Nile perch (Lates niloticus) skins owing to various processing and cooking techniques
(International Journal of Environmental Studies, 2012-01)
Nile perch (Lates niloticus) skin is a major substitute for whole fish especially among low-income
groups who are especially vulnerable to protein and micronutrient deficiencies. The object of this
study was to determine ...
Heavy metal contamination in vegetables cultivated on a major urban wetland inlet drainage system of Lake Victoria, Uganda
(International Journal of Environmental Studies, 2010-06)
The population of the Ugandan capital, Kampala, located close to Lake Victoria, appears to be
exposed to risk of ingesting the heavy metals Cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb) through vegetables in their
diet. Lake Victoria is ...
Fatty acids of polar lipids in heart tissue are good taxonomic markers for tropical African freshwater fish
(African Journal of Aquatic Science, 2011-07)
The fatty acid profiles in total, neutral and polar lipids in the heart tissues of five freshwater fish species (Nile perch Lates niloticus, Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus, marbled lungfish Protopterus aethiopicus, ...
Antimicrobial activity of cotton and silk fabrics dyed with Datura stramonium (Jimson weed) plant leaf extracts
(African Journal of Microbiology Research, 2019-11)
Functional finishes are agents that are applied to fabrics to make them suitable for specific uses and
contribute a specific attribute to a fabric without altering its appearance. In this context, the present
study reveals ...
