Prediction of delayed postgraduate graduation using machine learning in Ugandan higher education

Abstract Delayed postgraduate graduation is a major challenge to higher education institutions in Uganda in terms of student progression, institutional planning and human capital development. Identifying students at risk of delayed completion early can inform timely academic inte...

Multimedia fate and transport simulation for green synthesized zero valent iron nanoparticles using SimpleBox4nano

Green synthesized zero valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) are promoted as environmentally benign alternatives to chemically synthesized ones. Simulation models are used to predict nZVI transport and transformation during environmental remediation. The objective of this study was to...

What Really Drives People-first Public-private Partnerships Adoption? Evidence From Resource-constrained Settings

Abstract This study examines the factors influencing the adoption of People-First Evaluation Methodology (PFEM) in Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) operating within resource-constrained contexts. Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling applied to survey data, t...

Painting as Identity Reconstruction: Socially Concerned Art and Batwa Material Culture

In Southwestern Uganda, material culture of the Batwa pygmies has been overtly manifested in a number of ways through painterly narratives produced by Edward Kamugisha to record images defining their collective identity. In this article, the discussion is centred on some of the s...

2D-unsteady chaotic flows for mixing two different non-Newtonian fluids: optimization and flow control

Mixing of non-Newtonian fluids has been widely studied, yet numerical investigations of the simultaneous mixing of two different shear-thinning fluids inside chaotic mixers remain limited. In this work, we numerically investigate, for the first time, the mixing of two shear-thinn...
