G - Therapy: Classical Mechanical Resonance Tool For HIV Cure
REFNo: SIR26ES
Main Objective
To design and implement an effective, safe, “isolate – and – kill†Classical Mechanical resonance tool for HIV – riddance from HIV – positive patients.
Specific Objectives
a) To outline a velocity, frequency and wavelength generating system based on scalable vibratory/circulatory dynamics pertinent with the vibratory characteristics of the HIV particles (H – 1 atom system is earmarked).
b) To identify the HIV virus by morphology (physical structure) differentiation using light optical nanoscopy – observation procedures (use flue virus for comparison).
c) To characterize the projected mechanical resonance – based fight between HIV and human defense system cells (realizable by articulating and relating factors implicated).
d) To design and implement a counter resonance tool against HIV’s own mechanical resonance combat weapon against human defense cells (achievable through determining rupture-prone resonant frequency-amplitude factors leading to an effective, safe body- penetrative capacity; as well as the functional body/specimen exposure period).

Mosque Mapping Survey
REFNo: SS385ES
Religious institutions play an important role in the daily lives of Ugandans, as in other African countries. Yet, we understand little about the influence of religious institutions on social and political outcomes. This project focuses on the sway of Muslim religious institutions in shaping the opinions and behaviors of congregants. Specifically, we will study how mosques communicate with congregants, what types of messages they deliver, and how messages shape the attitudes and behaviors of congregants.
The research objectives of this project are to:
• Examine variation in sermons, including topics, religious citations, and tone.
• Assess how mosque and imam characteristics influence the nature of sermons.
• Explore how sermons shape congregant religious, social, and political attitudes and behaviors.
