    A comparative analysis of heating values of saw dust, rice husk and coconut shell in the thermal generation of electricity in Hadema local government, Nigeria
    (Kampala International University, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, 2014-11) Muhammad, Danladi
    Biomass is the major energy source in Nigeria contributing about 78% of Nigeria primary energy supply. In this work a comparative analysis of the heating values of saw dust, rice husks, and coconut shell in the thermal generation of electricity was carried out. In the study different masses of biomass were used and the corresponding electromotive force in millivolts obtained. A graph of e.m.f was plotted against mass of each biomass and a gradient was obtained. Bar graphs were plotted representing the values of e.m.f and masses of the biomass. Also a bar graph comparing e.m.f of different masses of biomass was used. The research shows that Saw dust is having a gradient of O.O33Mv/g then followed by Coconut shell with gradient O,O3lMv/g and Rice husk with gradient O.O26mV/g. This shows that Saw dust is the one with the highest gradient. It is therefore, concluded that Saw dust is the most efficient of the three types of biomass in the thermal generation of electricity.

    An admissions management system for Nursing schools (AMSNS): a case study of Kibuli school of nursing and midwifery
    (Kampala International University, 2010) Babirye, Anna
    The study focused on the developing An Admissions Management System for Nursing Schools, to provide for management oriented reporting. The purpose of this study was to examine what students and staffs perceive are the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed admission system. The main research problem was due to the fact that the school uses a manual system of admitting students, keeping records in files and books with no backups and difficulty accessing students’ records. The objective of this study was to analyze and design an application to solve difficulties faced while dealing with student’s information in the admission.
