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 ...
Ineffectiveness of Nakivubo wetland in filtering out heavy metals from untreated Kampala urban effluent prior to discharge into Lake Victoria, Uganda
(African Journal of Agricultural Research, 2010-12)
The population of the Ugandan capital city of Kampala has dramatically increased since the political
turmoil of the 1970s and with it a considerable rise in industrialisation. Few manufacturing plants,
however, have ...
Concentrations and sources apportionment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments from the Uganda side of Lake Victoria
(Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts, 2017)
This study presents the levels and possible sources of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in surface sediments from the Napoleon Gulf and Murchison Bay of Lake Victoria. Sediment samples were extracted and ...
