Design and implimentation of a Pre-Eclampsia detection system using image processing.
(2019-06)Preeclampsia (toxaemia) is a complex disease of pregnancy with sometimes serious effects on maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. It is defined by hypertension after 20 weeks’ gestation and proteinuria. Preeclampsia ... -
Design of a solar micro-irrigation system for a 35 acre farm in Kabarole District
(Makerere University, 2019-06)Elgeyo Marakwet organic farm is a mixed farm located in Kabarole district. Chia, red pepper and bananas are grown on approximately 34 acres of land on the farm. Sixty cows and about one hundred goats are currently reared ... -
Development of a computerized solution for the mathematical design of shaft coupling
(2019-06)Designing shaft couplings using the manual method is long, tiresome and prone to error. This leads to development of inefficient designs leading to premature breakdowns and failures thus leading to higher financial costs ... -
The Development of Delay-Tolerant Routing Protocols for Android-based Devices.
(2019-06)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, ... -
Effects of binders on the mechanical and physical properties of briquettes
(Makerere University, 2019-06)In this study, carbonized briquettes were developed from coffee and rice husks as agriculture wastes using cassava starch and banana pulp as organic binders and clay as an inorganic binder. The bio-char after carbonization ... -
Fault analysis when a mini grid is connected to the main grid case study: West Nile Rural Electrification Company (WENRECo)
(Makerere University, 2019-06)Increased exploitation of renewable energies for electricity generation has resulted into increase in the number of mini grids which can be operated in island mode or in grid connected mode. When mini grids are connected ... -
