For a landlocked country like Uganda, air transport is centermost to its import-export trade. As such, the aviation industry is important for its economic and political survival since it guarantees access to the outside world. This study reports on the noise and air pollution levels at Entebbe International Airport, Uganda. We found that the airport experiences irregular noise frequencies with the midday having the highest noise intensities that exceed permissible limits of 60 decibels. Carbon d...

Thanks to its performance in eliminating color, UV absorbance, trace organic compounds, and microorganisms, ozone application in treating water has acquired vogue. The intensification of mass transfer and mixing in ozone-founded disinfection methods stays so crucial to attaining the desired disinfection level at an acceptable price. This work discusses the growing tendency of improving ozone diffusion for better water disinfection. Researchers suggested a new procedure of ozonation supported by ...

Selective methods of thermocatalytic determination of carbon oxide and hydrocarbons in exhaust gases of vehicles are based on measurement of different thermo effects of oxidation of a combustible mixture, obtained from two identical thermosensible elements working at different temperatures are developed. At one temperature there is an oxidation of all analyzed gas mixture, and on another—the mixture without a selectively determined component and by the difference of thermo effects an exact conce...
