Meticulous Overview on the Controlled Release Fertilizers
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation Advances in Chemistry, 2014-08-28)
Owing to the high demand for fertilizer formulations that will exhaust the possibilities of nutrient use efficiency (NUE), regulate
fertilizer consumption, and lessen agrophysicochemical properties and environmental adverse ...
Encapsulated Urea-Kaolinite Nanocomposite for Controlled Release Fertilizer Formulations
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation Journal of Chemistry, 2015)
Urea controlled release fertilizer (CRF) was prepared via kaolinite intercalation followed by gum arabic encapsulation in an attempt
to reduce its severe losses associated with dissolution, hydrolysis, and diffusion. ...
Dynamics of Kaolinite-Urea Nanocomposites via Coupled DMSO-Hydroxyaluminum Oligomeric Intermediates
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation Indian Journal of Materials Science, 2015)
Kaolinite-urea nanocompositeswere prepared via intercalation reactions in an attempt to investigate the dynamic nature of kaolinite
morphology for advanced applications in controlled release systems (CRS). Characterization ...
Water-Handling Patterns and Associated Microbial Profiles in relation to Hygiene in Babati Town, Tanzania
(Hindawi Journal of Environmental and Public Health, 2019-05-20)
In rapidly urbanizing centres in Tanzania, water supply infrastructure lags behind the speed of urbanization,
affecting water availability and accessibility. We believe that inhabitants’ access water using various ways ...
Ecosystem metabolism in the deep and oligotrophic Lake Tanganyika
(Elsevier, 2024-06-24)
This study investigated variability in ecosystem metabolism in the meromictic, oligotrophic, and deep Lake Tanganyika. A large buoy equipped with a weather station, oxygen and temperature sensors for every 10 m down to 102 ...
Novel use of portable gamma sensors to rapidly assess soil status and recovery in degraded East African agro-pastoral land
(Copernicus Publications, 2024-05-01)
Soil resources in East African agro-pastoral lands are being rapidly depleted by erosion, threatening food, water and livelihood security. Here we explore the utility of innovation in portable gamma sensors to rapidly ...
Future Trade-Off for Water Resource Allocation: The Role of Land Cover/Land Use Change
(MDPI, 2024-02-02)
Global croplands, pastures, and human settlements Have expanded in recent decades.
This is accompanied by large increases in energy, water, and fertilizer consumption, along with
considerable losses of biodiversity. In ...
Fluoride Variations in Rivers on the Slopes of Mount Meru in Tanzania
(Hindawi, 2018-01-23)
This study reports the variations of fluoride ions in rivers on the slopes of Mount Meru in the northern part of Tanzania. More
than 318 water samples were collected from Temi, Nduruma, Tengeru, andMaji ya Chai Rivers in ...
A Review on Degradation Improvement of Sisal Fiber by Alkali and Pozzolana for Cement Composite Materials
(Taylor & Francis, 2024)
Sisal fiber employment in concrete improves its post-crack strength, but sisal
fiber degrades due to moisture and cement mineralization. Many researchers
used alkaline and pozzolanic techniques to treat sisal fiber in ...
Sustainable biofuel production in Sub-Saharan Africa: Exploring transesterification process, nonedible feedstocks, and policy implications
(WIREs, 2024-05-10)
The world is currently dealing with an energy crisis, primarily due to heavy reliance on finite fossil fuels and the associated rise in energy demand. In response to this crisis, replacing heavy reliance on finite fossil ...
