An aid to quicken the approval process of structural drawing at KCCA for typical residential buildings.
(2019)Low-rise residential buildings are relatively easy to design with few variations from one building to another. This implies it is easy to verify that structural drawings are sufficient and conform to the KCCA standards. The ... -
Analysis of the spectral performance of Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access
(Makerere University, 2019)Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) is one of the promising radio access techniques for performance enhancement in next generation cellular communications. Compared to orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), ... -
Design and construction of a fish descaling machine.
(2019)Aquaculture is the fastest growing form of animal husbandry in the world with 11% growth rate recorded over the last decade. Aquaculture has been seen as an important new source of food fish for the poor. Demand for fish ... -
Design and development of an information system for electricity payment
(2019)A new system for electricity payment is presented as an updated version of electricity payment in Uganda, the electricity meter is designed and the code is developed for the functions to work. The prototype was fully a ... -
Design and implementation of a ground control station of an unmanned aerial vehicle for agricultural applications in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2019)This study examined the importance of a ground control station (GCS) for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to be used by farmers in Kasese and Kiboga districts. The cost of constructing a UAV is high which makes it an expensive ... -
Design and Implementation of a Real-time Electronic Voting Machine using the GSM Module
(Makerere University, 2019)The main aim of this project was to design a real time electronic voting machine which maintains a voting record of all candidates through messages sent as SMS to all Agents of various candidates at a given polling station ... -
Design and optimization of a UAV for agricultural applications in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2019)Uganda has for long and still continues to rely on agriculture for a living. Evident to this, Agriculture contributes 21-26% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at market price[1]. With the growing population of ... -
Design of the flight control system of the unmanned aerial vehicle to be used for agricultural applications in Uganda
(2019)This project was about the design of a flight control system for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to be used for agricultural applications in Uganda. It is a project under the Center for Research in Transportation Technologies ... -
Development of an IOT based industrial air pollution monitoring system
(Makerere University, 2019)Uganda is one of the developing countries with a growing number of industries. However, industrialization comes with challenges and effects on the environment such as pollution which is one of the causes of climate ... -
The development of delay Torelant routing protocols for android based-devices.
(Makerere University, 2019)Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) are those which allow communication in highly stressed environments characterised by frequent intermittent connections, limited node resources and dynamic topologies. For nodes to communicate, ... -
Examining health, safety and environmental procedures in a motor vehicle maintenance workshop
(Makerere University, 2019)The purpose of this research project was to identify the gaps in health, safety and environmental procedures being used in a motor vehicle maintenance workshop and to recommend appropriate engineering and administrative ... -
Investigating the physical layer security of wireless sensor networks in the presence of co-channel interference signals.
(Makerere University, 2019)Security performance of resource constrained sensor networks in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers is investigated. The impact of co-channel interference signals on the secrecy performance of a multiuser scheme that ... -
Physical Layer Security improvement of wireless sensor networks in the presence of an untrusted user
(Makerere University, 2019)In this project, Physical Layer Security (PHY{Security) is increasingly being adopted to guarantee secure wireless communications because it takes advantage of the imperfections of wireless channels such as fading, noise ... -
Simulation of a drone flight on a beach
(Makerere University, 2019)Drones also known as unmanned aerial vehicles/ systems (UAVs/UAS) were initially created for military purposes in the 90s. However their evolution has expanded to other fields to apply in areas such as photography, videography ... -
A Sub-6GHz Pathloss Model For 5G Cellular Network Deployment In Uganda Case Study In Makerere University.
(2019)A new empirical path loss model for 5G Cellular Network in the sub – 6GHz band is proposed and compared with measurement results. This project studies how the efficiency of path loss models varies with changing environment. ...
