ABSTRACT This report investigated Road Infrastructure and Economic Growth in Uganda 2000 .- 2018, the Study considered all national roads, that is, paved and unpaved roads however, district roads were excluded due to lack of data for the entire period of the study. The emphasis on national roads was both due to data availability and the multiplier... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This study was motivated by the fact the Uganda has one of the fastest population growth rates in the world accompanied by high unemployment rates thus the study aimed at investigating the relationship between population growth rates and youth unemployment in Uganda (1991 to 2014). The specific objectives of the study were; to find out... Continue Reading

Abstract Several authors have developed statistical procedures for testing whether two models are similar. In this work, we not only present the notion of equivalence but also extend this to a measure of predictive ability of a time series following a stationary self-exciting threshold autoregressive (SETAR) process. A proposition and a lemma were... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT  This work suggests an exact and systematic model identification approach which is entirely new and addresses most of the challenges of existing methods. We developed quadratic discriminant functions for various orders of autoregressive moving average (ARMA) models. An Algorithm that is to be used alongside our functions was also... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Cassava (Manihot esculenta, Crantz) is an important perennial tropical crop for millions of people around the world particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is preferred due to its agronomical attributes such as ability to grow in poor soils and drought resistance. Cassava storage roots are also a good source of starch. In addition, cassava...

ABSTRACT The erratic pattern of rainfall over the years coupled with increasing population has left no option but to cultivate more farmlands through irrigation to meet food demand. Irrigated Agriculture as essential as it is if not done with care through good practices and use of quality water can lead to soil salinization and ecological... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Automatic control systems penneate life in all advanced societies today. Such systems act as catalysts in promoting progress and development. They are integral components of any industrial society and are necessary for the production of standardized and quality goods. Suitable signal plans at each road intersections can be used to solve...

ABSTRACT Turbulent flow is a type of fluid flow in which the fluid undergoes irregular fluctuations. The velocity of the fluid at a point is continuously undergoing changes in both magnitude and direction. Turbulent natural convection has been studied both numerically and theoretically. It plays an important role in the field of heat transfer and... Continue Reading

Groundwater contamination occurs when man-made products such as gasoline, oil, road salts  and chemicals get into the groundwater and cause it to become unsafe and unfit for human  use. Drinking contaminated groundwater can have serious health effects. Diseases such as  hepatitis and dysentery may be caused by contamination from septic tank... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This project work was carried out to access the level of electromagnetic radiation risk awareness from cell phones in selected audience of cell phone users using a Questionnaire. The reduction in the adverse effect of electromagnetic radiation from cell phones is theoretically explained in the research work. The Questionnaires were... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT A Linear  Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) was constructed having a primary winding of 245 turns and two secondary windings of 100 turns each. The device was calibrated with a graduated cylindrical rod. The graduated rod when inserted between the hollow tube which has the windings gave output voltages of ±0.046V, ±0.51V,...

INTRODUCTION Physics as a science subject in school is different from other non-science subjects in school curriculum in the sense that its lessons take place in laboratories where both students and teachers carry out experiments and practical demonstration. This approach of learning and teaching of physics makes it a practical subject. Practical... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The  concept of Superconductors in relation to energy gap was considered in this  study. The occurrence of the Meissner effect indicates that superconductivity  cannot be understood simply as the idealization  of perfect conductivity  in classical  physics . The major aim of this project is to study the  concept of energy gap in... Continue Reading

This research work is meant to determine the Earth’s stability from gravity anomalies and to provide diverse explanations for a wide range of physical observations and also highlight the factors affecting the stability of the Earth. Information from geodesy (shape of the Earth) and the gravitational field of the Earth studies have been fitted... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT A derivation of equispaced-level conduction band Hamiltonians using the coordinate-transform based procedure is presented. The procedure start with the effective-mass schrodinger equation (Luttinger and Kohn, 1995), where the local conduction-band edge is interpreted as the potential experienced by and electron in a quantum well (QW). The... Continue Reading

Ionosphere is the region in the upper atmosphere where there are sufficient amount of  electrons and ions to influence the propagation of radio wave. For radio wave propagation  studies and application, a standard model (model based on data) such as IONEX map model was  developed to study the ionospheric parameter i.e. the Total Electron...

Building materials are one of the potential sources of indoor radioactivity because of the naturally occuring radionuclides in them. Exposure to indoor ionizing radiation, like gamma radiation, results in critical health challenges. This work was designed to assess the indoor gamma dose rate level following the renovations of offices of lecturers... Continue Reading
