Nutritional and economic potential of Clarias liocephalus for rural populations of South Western Uganda
(African Journal of Rural Development, 2019-06)Southwestern Uganda is one of the densely populated and nutritionally insecure regions in Uganda. The motivation behind this study was to explore the potential of Clarias liocephalus, a small wetland fish species common ... -
Nondestructive maturity assessment tools for commercially viable fruits and vegetables in Uganda
(African Journal of Plant Science, 2017-06)Fruit and vegetable maturity at harvest influences transportation and storage requirements as well as market value. However, small scale farmers in Uganda lack technologies for maturity assessment leading to high pre- and ... -
Mind the gap: scaling up the utilization of insecticide treated mosquito nets using a knowledge translation model in Isingiro district, rural south western Uganda
(Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Grou, 2020-09-01)ABSTRACT Background: The phenomenon of Knowledge Translation (KT) is a key intervention towards bridging the ‘know–do’ gap. We conducted a KT initiative in Isingiro district to positively change attitude and improve on ... -
Microbial quality of beef and hygiene practices in small and medium slaughterhouses and butcheries in Uganda
(Research Square, 2012)Abstract Background if hygiene practices along the beef processing nodes at small and medium enterprise (SME) slaughter houses and butcheries are not observed, they may pose a health risk due to microbial contamination. ... -
Postgraduate Research Engagement in Low Resource Settings
(IGI Global, 2020)For any country to develop, it should be able to conduct research to generate knowledge necessary to solve problems of humanity by producing necessary goods and services. Research is essential for any nation’s success. ... -
On negative eigenvalues of two-dimensional Schrödinger operators with singular potentials
(Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2020-05-20)We present upper estimates for the number of negative eigenvalues of two-dimensional Schrodinger operators with potentials generated by Ahlfors regular measures of arbitrary fractional dimension α ∈ (0, 2]. The estimates ... -
On estimates for the number of negative eigenvalues of two-dimensional Schrodinger operators with potentials supported by Lipschitz curves
(2017-08)In this paper we present quantitative upper estimates for the number of negative eigenvalues of a two-dimensional Schrodinger operator with potential supported by an unbounded Lipschitz curve. The estimates are given in ... -
Modeling the Dynamics of Banana Xanthomonas Wilt Transmission Incorporating Infectious Force in both Asymptomatic and Symptomatic Stages
(Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science, 2017-10-27)Despite massive efforts by regional governments and partners in the East and Central African Region towards _ghting Xanthomonas Wilt of banana, the disease is reported to continue to spread to new areas and resurge in ... -
Group divisible designs of four groups and block size five with configuration (1; 1; 1; 2)
(Journal of Algebra Combinatorics Discrete Structures and Applications, 2016-03-03)We present constructions and results about GDDs with four groups and block size five in which each block has Configuration (1; 1; 1; 2), that is, each block has exactly one point from three of the four groups and two points ... -
Estimates for the number of eigenvalues of two dimensional Schrodinger operators lying below the essential spectrum
(arXiv preprint arXiv, 2016-09)The celebrated Cwikel-Lieb-Rozenblum inequality gives an upper estimate for the number of negative eigenvalues of Schrodinger operators in dimension three and higher. The situation is much more difficult in the two dimensional ... -
On the spectrum of the Laplacian on a strip with various boundary conditions
(Far East Journal of Mathematical Sciences (FJMS, 2017-07-30)In this paper, the spectrum of the Laplace operator on a strip with constant width subject to four different boundary conditions is investigated. In all the four situations, we prove that its spectrum starts from the first ... -
On the discrete spectrum of Schr¨odinger operators with Ahlfors regular potentials in a strip
(Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 2019-03-15)In this paper, quantitative upper estimates for the number of eigenvalues lying below the essential spectrum of Schrodinger operators with potentials generated by Ahlfors regular measures in a strip subject to two different ... -
On Optimal Representatives of Finite Coloured Linear Orders
(Order, 2019-05-02)Two structures A and B are n-equivalent if player II has a winning strategy in the n-move Ehrenfeucht-Fra¨ıss´e game on A and B. We extend earlier results about equivalence classes for finite colored linear orders, describing ... -
Nile River Basin: Ecohydrological Challenges, Climate Change and Hydropolitics
(Springer, 2014)The Nile River basin is home to more than 238 million people covering 11 countries. The basin is characterized by unique ecological systems with varied landscapes including high mountains, tropical forests, woodlands, ... -
Eigenvalue Bounds for a Class of Schrödinger Operators in a Strip
(Journal of Mathematics, 2018-12-12)This paper is concerned with the estimation of the number of negative eigenvalues (bound states) of Schrodinger operators in a strip subject to Neumann boundary conditions. The estimates involve weighted 𝐿1 norms and 𝐿 ... -
Ehrenfeucht-fra¨ iss´e games on a class of Scattered linear orders
(arXiv preprint arXiv, 2018-01-02)Two structures A and B are n-equivalent if player II has a winning strategy in the n-move Ehrenfeucht-Fra¨ıss´e game on A and B. In earlier papers we studied n-equivalence classes of ordinals and coloured ordinals. In this ... -
Counting negative eigenvalues of one-dimensional schrodinger operators with Singular potentials
(Gulf Journal of Mathematics, 2019)In this paper, we extend the well-known estimates for the number of negative eigenvalues of one-dimensional Schrodinger operators with potentials that are absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure to the ... -
From Breeding to Nutrition: Orange‐Fleshed Sweet potatoes in Farming and Food Systems of Uganda, Kenya, and Burkina Faso.
