    Abstract: About 89 percent of Uganda’s total primary energy consumption is generated through biomass. With the country aspiring to become an upper middle-income country by 2040, the total energy requirement is estimated to be 41,738 MW. Currently, 2,000 MW are being produced and the energy mix is dominated by biomass. With a population projected to be 85 mil... Show More

    Abstract: Soil fertility depletion and the associated soil acidity has a serious problem to crop production in most highland part of Ethiopia Fortunately, this problems can be reclaimed using biochar as soil improvements which can be sequestered in the soil for several years. A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of biochar on soil proper... Show More

    Abstract: Incorporation of sugarcane industry by-products into soil can reduce the susceptibility of soils to compaction. However, the significance of incorporated filter cake and filter cake compost at different soil water contents at the time of compaction using proctor test load is not well documented. In this context, study was conducted at three Ethiopi... Show More

    Abstract: Despite being able to supply beyond energy required for global use, the sun is still being greatly under-utilized possibly due to the availability of alternative sources of energies which are finite, costly, and far more hazardous. The aim of this research work is to seek better ways of utilizing the luminous flux (luminous energy emitted per secon... Show More

    Abstract: Chickpea is one of the important pulse crop next to faba bean and common bean in terms of area coverage and production in Ethiopia. It is usually grown as a source of cash, protein, maintaining soil fertility, used for animal feed and as fuel. Low genetic diversity, poor resistance against major diseases and abiotic stresses are major constraints i... Show More
