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 ...
Electrodeposition of nickel-metalloid alloy films and their investigation for electrocatalytic water splitting
(Kyambogo University, 2021-03)
Electrocatalytic splitting of the water molecule to produce hydrogen as an energy carrier provides a very promising pathway for provision of green and inexhaustible renewable energy for the future. The bottleneck of this ...
Fatty acids, heavy metal concentration, and characteristics of selected oil seeds grown in west Nile, Uganda
(Kyambogo University, 2021-03)
In this study vegetable oils extracted from three types of oil seeds namely; sunflower (helianthus annus), sesame (sesamum indicum) and peanut (Arachis Hypogaea) grown in west nile sub-region were investigated. Fatty acid ...
Fatty acid profile and stability of oil from the belly flaps of Nile perch (Lates niloticus)
(Elsevier: Food Chemistry., 2008-05-01)
Oil extracted from the belly flaps of Lake Victoria Nile perch (Lates niloticus) was evaluated for fatty acid composition, contents of vitamin A, β-carotene and α-tocopherol, and oxidative stability. The oil was found to ...
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 ...
Green practices implementation for environmental sustainability by five‑star hotels in Kampala, Uganda
(SpringerLink, 2023-03)
Hotels operate continuously and are known to be one of the contributors of global pollution. Strategies like adoption of green practices would be a remedy to mitigate pollution and their effects for environmental sustainability. ...
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, ...
Watershed management and climate change adaptation mechanisms used by people living in dryland areas of Lokere catchment in Karamoja, Uganda
(Environmental & Socio-economic Studies, 2023)
The effects of climate change in Uganda are manifested by severe and sometimes extreme weather events such as droughts and
landslides. An Integrated Watershed Management (IWM) plan was initiated in the Karamoja region, ...
