(2013)
Electronic health record (EHR) systems are a popular mechanism for accessing health records in the developed world and have contributed towards improved and cost-effective health care management. However, the development ...
Morphological distinctiveness between Solanum aethiopicum Shum group and its progenitor
(Academic Journals, 2017-06)
Use of morphological markers offers an alternative in germplasm discrimination of research-neglected
crop species. A collection of 25 accessions including five wild progenitors was evaluated in screen
house to identify ...
Cardiac surgery for patients with heart failure due to structural heart disease in Uganda: access to surgery and outcomes
(2014)
Objective: Few data are available on heart failure (HF) in
sub-Saharan Africa. We aimed to provide a current picture
of HF aetiologies in urban Uganda, access to heart surgery,
and outcomes.
Methods: We prospectively ...
Contractor Monitoring and Performance of Road Infrastructure Projects in Uganda: A Management Model
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2017)
An understanding of the influence of contractor monitoring on performance
of road infrastructural projects in Uganda provided an impetus for this study.
The objectives of the study were to: assess the relationship between ...
Isolation, and molecular characterization of Brucella isolates in cattle milk in Uganda
(2015)
Brucellosis is endemic in livestock and humans inUganda and its transmission involves amultitude of risk factors like consumption
of milk frominfected cattle. To shed new light on the epidemiology of brucellosis in Uganda ...
Performance of Solanum aethiopicum Shum group accessions under repetitive drought stress
(Academic Journals, 2017)
Drought is a serious climatic hazard to crop production, more especially when it occurs repeatedly. This created a need to identify repetitive drought tolerant varieties that recover following exposure to drought. Twenty ...
Impact of Human Activities on Wetlands in Kampala: Critical Reconciliation of Ecological Sustainability and Human Development
(Kisubi Brothers University College, 2012)
Wetland ecosystem services are central to a nation’s sustained growth
and development. For this reason, human development ought to be undertaken

Stability of Solanum aethiopicum Shum accessions under varied water deficit stress levels and identification of pertinent breeding traits for resistance to water shortage
(Springer Science+Business Media B.V., part of Springer Nature, 2017-12)
Drought is a major constraint to productivity of Solanum aethiopicum ‘Shum’ group due to loss in market and nutrient value of stressed plants. This study evaluated S. aethiopicum Shum group accessions to identify genotypes ...
Heritability of drought resistance in Solanum aethiopicum Shum group and combining ability of genotypes for drought tolerance and recovery
(Elsevier, 2018-06)
Drought tolerance is a complex trait whose inheritance had not been investigated in Solanum aethiopicum L. Shum group. This is partly because of perceived cross incompatibilities in the crop. This study relied on 24 ...
