This paper sheds light on the causes of school dropouts, a major challenge facing UPE attainment in public primary schools Uganda. We offer microregional analysis dropout patterns Mpigi district, and show number distinct dropouts that can be differentiated from studies based national data. While Universal Primary Education program covered tuition fees, additional costs for education, such as me...

The world is undergoing a major telecommunications revolution that will provide ubiquitous communication access to citizens, wherever they are. Seamless roaming across different wireless networks which has different types of services and quality of service guarantees has becomes a major topic for the past several years in the research area. With the integration of different technologies, the si...

Diagnosis of MERS-Cov still a major concern in most of daignostic laboratories. To date the Real-time Polymerase Chain reaction (RT-PCR) is the mainstay for diagnosis of MERS-CoV. RT-PCR has limitations, including a long turnaround time and lack of common measurements and correlations with Viral Load (VL). It is recommended to screen for MERS-CoV using RT-PCR of the upstream of envelope gene (u...
