Assessment of scintillation proxy maps for a scintillation study during geomagnetically quiet and disturbed conditions over Uganda
(Journal of Atmospheric and Solar–Terrestrial Physics, 2016-12)The objective of this paper is demonstrate the validity and usefulness of scintillation proxies derived from IGS data, through its comparison with data from dedicated scintillation monitors and its application to GNSS ... -
Are the observed gaps in protoplanetary discs caused by growing planets?
(Royal Astronomical Society, 2019-06)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 not yet ... -

Determination of Natural Radioactivity Levels due to Mine Tailings from Selected Mines in Southwestern Uganda
(Journal of Environment and Earth Science, 2016)The aim of this study was to determine the natural radioactivity levels of primordial radionuclides in soil mine tailings from selected mines in Southwestern Uganda. This was achieved by analyzing thirty six samples of ... -

Diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Lineages Associated with Pulmonary Tuberculosis in Southwestern, Uganda
(Hindawi, 2021-06-28)Uganda is among the 22 countries in the world with a high burden of tuberculosis. The southwestern region of the country has consistently registered a high TB/HIV incidence rate. This study is aimed at characterizing the ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -

An effort to study the influence of tides on the longitudinal variation of vertical E×B drift over the African sector
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020-06-03)Meteorological processes such as tides influence ionospheric variability through vertical coupling. For the first time, we have used data from Communication Navigation Outage and Forecasting System (C/NOFS) satellite rom ...
