Pesticide application and water quality in Doho and Kibimba rice irrigation schemes, eastern Uganda
(Kabale University Interdisciplinary Research Journal (KURJ), 2022)The number and amount of agrochemicals used has increased dramatically world over and their toxic nature has raised concern about environmental impact and effects on human health. Considering that agriculture is a major ... -
Application of Discrete-time semi-Markov Model to the Stochastic forecasting of Capital assests as stock.
(Far East Journal of theoretical Statistics, 2021)In this paper, we developed and applied a stochastic model based on Discrete-time Semi Markov chain approach and its generalizations to study the high frequency price dynamics of traded stocks. Semi Markov is a stochastic ... -
Optimal control analysis of Taenia saginata bovine cysticercosis and human taeniasis
(Elsevier, 2022)Bovine cysticercosis and human taeniasis are neglected food-borne diseases that pose challenge to food safety, human health and livelihood of rural livestock farmers. In this paper, we have formulated and analyzed a ... -
Manufacturing Export Performance: A Trend Analysis Approach
(INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF APPLIED MATHEMATICS AND INFORMATICS, 2021)The study examined the export performance using a trend analysis approach. A graphical demonstration showing the trend of export performance in Nigeria over time was displayed. It also identifies the major determinants of ... -
Pesticide residues in vegetables produced in rural south-western Uganda
(Elsevier, 2021)This study investigated seven pesticides in vegetables produced in rural South-western Uganda to determine their suitability for human consumption. Pesticide residue concentrations (ppm) were determined using QuEChERS method, ... -
Modeling and analysis of taeniasis and cysticercosis transmission dynamics in humans, pigs and cattle
(Springer, 2021)Taeniasis and cysticercosis pose a significant challenge to food safety and public health. Cysticercosis reduces the market value for pigs and cattle by making pork and beef unsafe for consumption. In this paper, a ... -
Pesticide use in vegetable production in rural Uganda - A case study of Kabale District, South western Uganda
(Academic Journals, 2020)A study to investigate commonly grown vegetables, commonly used pesticides, and pesticide use practices was conducted in Kabale District, in South-western Uganda. This is because indiscriminate pesticide use and poor ... -
Foraging Behaviour of the Black-Headed Heron at Kibimba Rice Scheme, Eastern Uganda
(Advances in Research, 2020)Variations in the factors affecting prey availability directly impact on the spatial dispersion of foraging birds. The feeding success and efficiency of the Black-headed Heron (Ardea melanocephala) was examined in the ... -
A Survey of Avian Fauna in Kabale Municipality, South Western Uganda
(Advances in Research, 2020)Collection of data on avifaunal diversity is a crucial component for monitoring the effects of habitat changes on biodiversity. A rapid cross sectional survey to document common bird species present in Kabale municipality ... -
On the structure of quasi-Keplerian accretion discs surrounding millisecond X-ray pulsars
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2020)In this study, we investigated the time-independent dynamics (disc structure, forces and torques) of a quasi-Keplerian disc around a millisecond pulsar (MSP) with an internal dynamo. We considered the disc around a MSP ... -
Mathematical Modelling of Growth Dynamics of Infant Financial Markets
(Scientific Research Publishing Inc, 2020)Developing financial markets are sensitive in many ways. Even some seemingly insignificant factors can impact their growth or failure. In this paper, we examine the major compartments of an infant financial market and ... -
Experimental investigation of a cooking unit integrated with thermal energy storage system
(Journal of Energy Storage, 2020)The thermal performance of a newly developed cooking unit integrated with a thermal energy storage (TES) system suitable for solar thermal applications has been tested and analysed. The experimental set-up consisted of a ... -
Low concentrations of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG ( Yoba®) are safe in male Drosophila melanogaster
(Research Note, 2019)Objective: The purpose of the study was to generate information on the safety of probiotics, thus the study objectives were to evaluate the effects of Yoba ® on basic physiochemical properties. The study assessed male ... -
Linear analysis of bump on tail instability with non-Maxwellian distribution function
(IOP Publishing, 2020)The growth rate of bump on tail instability propagating in unmagnetized plasma has been derived. The dispersion relation has been characterized for (r, q) distribution function with spectral indices r and q which ultimately ... -
Modeling The Role Of Wild Birds and Environment in the Dynamics of Newcastle Disease in Village Chicken.
(Science Asia, 2018)Newcastle disease is common viral poultry disease which leads to a massive killing of chicken if preventive measures are not well taken. In this paper, we develop and analyze a deterministic model to investigate the role ... -
Mass transfer approach and the designing of horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland systems treating waste stabilisation pond effluent
(IWA Publishing, 2018)Pilot-scale constructed wetlands (CWs) that allowed wastewater to flow with high interstitial velocities in a controlled environment were used to evaluate the possibility of using mass transfer approach to design horizontal ... -
Analysis of Bacteriological Quality of Domestic Water Sources in Kabale Municipality, Western Uganda
(Scientific Research Publishing Inc., 2019)In the present study, we assessed the bacteriological quality of water of drinking water sources in Kabale Municipality. A total of 28 water samples were collected from 14 water springs during the dry and wet season and ... -
Factors Influencing the Uptake and Sustainable Use of Soil and Water Conservation Measures in Bubaare Micro-Catchment, Kabale District, South Western Uganda
(OMMEGA PUBLISHERS, 2019)Soil erosion and declining soil productivity still continue to manifest in most of the agricultural systems found in Sub-Sahara Africa. As a consequence, this has threatened the agricultural productivity, biodiversity, ... -
Improved estimates for extinction probabilities and times to extinction for populations of tsetse (Glossina spp)
(PLOS, 2019)A published study used a stochastic branching process to derive equations for the mean and variance of the probability of, and time to, extinction in population of tsetse flies (Glossina spp) as a function of adult and ... -
Farmers’ Perception of the Impacts of Climate Variability and Change on Food Security in Rubanda District, South Western Uganda
(OMMEGA Publishers, 2018)Climate variability adversely impacts crop production and imposes a major constraint on farming planning, mostly under rain fed conditions across developing countries. Considering the recent advances in climate science, ...
