ABSTRACT Kyakaliba is a small village nestled in Buntanjwa Sub-county two miles away from Hoima Town in the Hoima district in Western Uganda. The population is 500 people (Source: Population Census; 2014) which is growing fast as a result of the Oil sprouting economic activity in the district. Currently, the available water sources are 3 Shallow wells, a spring, and Rainwater harvest but of the three wells, only one works with an issue of having too much Iron in the water, the spring runs dr...
Abstract This project report describes the design and implementation of an Intelligent Voice Controlled Wheel Chair for disabled people. The model utilizes an Arduino Voice Recognition Module interfaced with a high-level 8-Mt AVR Microcontroller to control motorized movements using voice commands. The model provides both a convenient and non-technical solution to navigate in a disabled home for even the critically crippled who can talk. To avoid uncontrolled collisions, the wheelchair include...
ABSTRACT In modern technology, wireless communication is widespread and it started to be used in everyday life, for example, Wireless phone chargers, home automation systems, etc. widely use wireless communication. People want smart systems to make their life easy, and I want to discard the cables that limit our mobility. The purpose of this project is to design and implement a free intercom system that uses WIFI in p2p (Peer-to-Peer) or WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) as a means of commu...

This report comprises of three chapters, highlighting the order in which the design was carried out. A detailed introduction of the project that was considered for the design; which includes the background and introduction of both the project and the site....
ABSTRACT The study was to design a sanitary landfill in Kapchorwa central division to curb the problem of improper solid waste disposal. According to the study that was conducted within the municipality; it was found out that the municipality majorly had four main sources at which the solid wastes are generated; Residential wastes, Commercial wastes and Institutional wastes Qualitative data was collected to know the characteristics of solid wastes whereas quantitative data was used to measur...
ABSTRACT Water pollution is a serious problem for the entire world. It threatens the health and well being of humans, plants, and animals. As the world became more industrial and smaller due to communications and trade, accidental and purposive hazardous dumping have contributed to the problem of sources of water pollution. All water pollution is dangerous to the health of living organisms, but springs and borehole pollution can be especially detrimental to the health of humans. Springs and ...
This paper is a detailed study of IoT devices and effectively using them for Energy Management at our Homes. IoT Energy Management is an operation that involves organizing and administration of energy consumption patterns in numerous industries. As a part of the Smart System, Home Energy Management System (HEMS) is becoming increasingly essential, because energy consumption of urban residential sector accounts for a noteworthy amount of total energy consumption. However, a conventional HEMS h...
ABSTRACT. To achieve most accurate coverage area results during installations of sector antennas, the technical team must create a coverage map for each of the sectors basing on the provided coverage values. The technical team uses these values to make manual position adjustments of sector antennas. Manual antenna adjustments are sometimes risky in a way that unexpected accidents usually occur that even result into death. To overcome such scenarios, an android based sector Antenna positioni...
CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Uganda has got many Small and Medium Sized Contractors (SMSC) engaged in the construction business. Some of these (SMSC) change business name and scope within a short time because of the competitiveness pressures within the construction industry. Little is achieved by these struggling SMSC due to the level of development of the local construction industry (LCI). Recent studies show that the Local Construction Industry is not very competitive, undeve...
ABSTRACT This study presents the derivation of polynomial functions for the prediction of critical axial forces in bridge trusses. Four different bridge trusses were considered in this study, three of which are statically determinate while one is statically indeterminate. These trusses at different height to span (aspect) ratios were tested for critical axial forces under the same conditions. The graphs of their critical axial forces against aspect ratios were plotted and this led to the find...
ABSTRACT This study investigated the structural characteristics of chikoko mud-cement concrete. The structural characteristics of chikoko mud-cement concrete investigated were compressive strength, flexural strength, shear strength and split tensile strength while the elastic properties investigated were static modulus of elasticity, poisson’s ratio and shear modulus. The water absorption of chikoko mud-cement concrete as a reflection of concrete durability was also investigated. Ninety (9...
ABSTRACT This work investigates the optical properties of glass prepared using Otamiri Silica sand mixed with analytical grade oxides as a function of their composition. Three batches were prepared with Phosphorus as the main variable of the SiO2-Na2OB2O3-CaO-ZnO glass system. The glass was melted in a ceramic crucible with a lid and the glasses melted after two hours of firing in a monolithic charcoal furnace. The effect of varying SiO2 and P2O5 on optical properties was determined using a ...
ABSTRACT Development and performance analysis of compressed natural gas (CNG) as a transportation fuel for automobiles in Nigeria are presented. The study involved compositional analysis of natural gas obtained from the product sales point at a treatment plant about 10km off the Port Harcourt-Onitsha route chosen to ensure standard sales gas specifications, design of the gas pipeline network and the refuelling stations requirement and locations. Using field investigations and developed physi...
ABSTRACT This study developed computer software with the capacity to provide a generalized solution to queuing problems involving laborious, time consuming and complex mathematical approach of evaluating the performance measures of queuing systems when it was applied in the analysis of the six (6) fundamental performance measures of thirty (30) different organizations representing the six (6) queuing systems; the result was compared with that of mathematical computations and 97.22% complianc...
