1 + 3 covariant perturbations in power-law f(R) gravity
(The European Physical Journal C, 2021)We applied the 1+3 covariant approach around the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) background, together with the equivalence between f (R) gravity and scalar-tensor theory to study cosmological perturbations. We ... -
Abell 1430: A merging cluster with exceptional diffuse radio emission
(Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2021)Context. Di_use radio emission has been found in many galaxy clusters, predominantly in massive systems which are in the state of merging. The radio emission can usually be classified as relic or halo emission, which are ... -
AI Based Wireless Traffic Light Detector using Image Classification in Machine Learning to Reduce Road Traffic Accidents: A Case Study of Uganda’s Road Traffic
(International Journal of Electronics Communication and Computer Engineering, 2021)Road traffic accidents in Uganda have led to many deaths. This unfortunately occurs to pedestrians, users of private and public means of transportations. Many solutions have however focused on for example: sensitization, ... -
Analysis of ionospheric storm‑time effects over the East African sector during the 17 March 2013 and 2015 geomagnetic storms
(Earth, Planets and Space, 2023)An analysis of the mechanisms that caused the storm-time effects during two geomagnetic storms that occurred on 17 March 2013 and 2015 is presented. We used Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) derived Total Electron ... -
The Anomalous Low State of the X-ray Binary System Hercules X-1
(Doctoral dissertation, University of the Free State, 2008-08)The light curve of Hercules X-1 (Her X-1) shows a peculiar 35-day modulation of the X-ray flux cycling between low and high states. The 35-day modulation is believed to result from the occultation of the neutron star by a ... -
Are the observed gaps in protoplanetary discs caused by growing planets?
(Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019-06-25)ABSTRACT Recent detailed observations of protoplanetary discs revealed a lot of substructures that are mostly ring like. One interpretation is that these rings are caused by growing planets. These potential planets are ... -

Briquetting and Torrefaction of Agricultural Residues for Energy Production
(Newcastle University, 2019-06)Agricultural residues are a potential feedstock for renewable energy because they are abundant and CO2 neutral. Due to their low energy density and heterogeneity, there are key challenges in handling, storage, transportation ... -
Characterisation of Total Electron Content over African region using Radio Occultation observations of COSMIC satellites
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019-08-08)Abstract This study characterised the Total Electron Content (TEC) over the African region during the years 2008–2015. The TEC data used were the integrated electron density observed during Radio Occultation (RO) event ... -
Characterization of the Low Latitude Plasma Density Irregularities Observed using C/NOFS and SCINDA Data.
(Advances in Space Research, 2017-08-04)Abstract Complex electrodynamic processes over the low latitude region often result in post sunset plasma density irregularities which degrade satellite communication and navigation. In order to forecast the density ... -
Classification of Fuzzy Logic Linguistic Terms for Accurate Load Balancing in Electric Power Distribution System.
(International Conference on Electrical, Computer and Energy Technologies (ICECET), 2021)Intelligent controls in electric power distribution system can be used to improve electric power distribution by balancing loads in a three-phase system at any time. One of such intelligent controls is fuzzy logic. In this ... -
