DEVELOPING A PAVEMENT CONDITION ASSESSMENT METHOD FOR UNPAVED ROADS IN UGANDA (2025)
Thesis

Approximately 95% of Uganda's total road network consists of unpaved surfaces, a situation that is prevalent across most developing countries in the world. This heavy reliance on unpaved roads poses significant challenges, as these roads are highly s... Read More about DEVELOPING A PAVEMENT CONDITION ASSESSMENT METHOD FOR UNPAVED ROADS IN UGANDA.

Risk Propagation Simulator for Assessing Urban risk (2025)
Thesis

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on "Climate Change and
Land" (2020) underscores how climate change intensifies disaster risks such as floods,
landslides, heatwaves, wildfires, and storm surges, significantly impacting ec... Read More about Risk Propagation Simulator for Assessing Urban risk.

Genomic Characterisation of Novel Veterinary Pathogens: Anaplasma & Bartonella species (2025)
Thesis

Background: Bartonella sp. and Anaplasma phagocytophilum (Ap) are vector-borne
bacterial pathogens with significant veterinary and public health implications. While
Bartonella species persist in the bloodstream of various mammals causing long term... Read More about Genomic Characterisation of Novel Veterinary Pathogens: Anaplasma & Bartonella species.

A Context-Aware Data Mining Method Recommender for Enhanced Insight Relevance: A Case study Approach (2025)
Thesis

Abstract Classical data mining approach struggle to produce insights that relates to a practical situation being analysed. Determining an appropriate data mining method is resource intensive and more of a trial-and-error strategy. The thesis proposed...

Encoding of Digitised Documents (2025)
Thesis

This work presents solutions to the multifaceted problem of document encoding in the context of digitisation processes. It addresses aspects related to structure and layout on page level as well as mechanisms for representing underlying textual infor... Read More about Encoding of Digitised Documents.

Mini-capstone projects to develop active laboratory collaboration in first-year biomedicine students (2025)
Other

Studies have shown an increase in loneliness within the student population, causing an increase in mental health conditions on commencing higher education (Diehl et al., 2018, McIntyre et al., 2018). Increased psychological distress is associated wit... Read More about Mini-capstone projects to develop active laboratory collaboration in first-year biomedicine students.

Subcritical Determination of the Frenkel Line in Liquid Nitrogen, the Emergent Final Picture, and a Universal Equation for the Coordination Number of Real Fluids (2025)
Journal Article

We performed a series of neutron scattering experiments on deeply subcritical liquid nitrogen at 90 K (0.7T C ). Our findings, when taken together with our previous results at 160 K (1.27T C ) and 300 K (2.4T C ), allow the Frenkel line phenomenon to...

Spaceflight causes strain-dependent gene expression changes in the kidneys of mice (2025)
Journal Article

Incidence of kidney stones in astronauts is a major risk factor associated with long-term missions, caused by increased blood calcium levels due to bone demineralisation triggered by microgravity and space radiation. Transcriptomic changes have been... Read More about Spaceflight causes strain-dependent gene expression changes in the kidneys of mice.

Myths Related to Disaster Response (2025)
Book Chapter

When disasters happen, it isn't like what you read or hear about. The findings of scientific research indicate that many things that are believed, or assumed, about how people behave during disasters are contrary to actuality. Disaster myths evolve f...
