Managing Semi-Arid Rangelands for Carbon Storage: Grazing and Woody Encroachment Effects on Soil Carbon and Nitrogen.
(PLOS ONE, 2015-10-13)High grazing intensity and wide-spread woody encroachment may strongly alter soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pools. However, the direction and quantity of these changes have rarely been quantified in East African savanna ... -
Manihot glaziovii-Bonded and Bioethanol-Infused Charcoal Dust Briquettes: A New Route of Addressing Sustainability, Ignition, and Food Security Issues in Briquette Production
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2019-11-22)Most of the citizens in developing countries use charcoal for domestic cooking and small-scale enterprises because of its high calorific value, less smoke, and easy to transport. However, a lot of charcoal dust is generated ... -
Manufacturing of Functionally Graded Porous Products by Selective Laser Sintering
(Scientific.Net, 2009-10)Selective laser sintering (SLS) is a rapid prototyping technique which is used to manufacture plastic and metal models. The porosity of the final product obtained by SLS can be controlled by changing the energy density ... -
Manure management and utilization practices for enhancing smallholder dairy farming productivity in Lushoto and Korogwe districts, Tanzania
(NM-AIST, 2019-02)The use of cattle manure in agricultural fields improves soil quality and contributes to nutrient recycling when applied back to the soil compared with synthetic fertilizers that are associated with high cost and limited ... -
Mapping groundwater in ungauged lake basin in Tanzania: A comparison between two topography based methods
(Elsevier Ltd., 2022-02)Groundwater is one of the most critical water resources for Sub Saharan Africa. However, the understanding of the groundwater system in the region is still lacking due to sparse groundwater observations. The influence of ... -
Mapping QTL for bruchid resistance in rice bean (Vigna umbellata)
(Springer Netherlands, 2016-06)The damage caused to stored seed by bruchids (Callosobruchus maculatus) is considered to be a major production constraint in rice bean (Vigna umbellata). Breeding for genetically determined resistance is the most environmentally ... -
Marginalised herders: Social dynamics and natural resource use in the fragile environment of the Richtersveld National Park, South Africa
(Elsevier B.V., 2018)In the contractual Richtersveld National Park (RNP), park officials and neighbouring communities jointly manage resources, with the aim to harmonize biodiversity conservation and human land use. Our socio-ecological approach ... -
Mass And Energy Balance For Fixed Bed Incinerators
(Journal of Multidisciplinary Engineering Science and Technology (JMEST), 2015-09)An estimation of mass and energy balance of an incinerator is an important consideration toward the design and operation of the incineration process. This paper is aimed to study the mass and energy balance of a locally ... -
Mass transfer approach and the designing of horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland systems treating waste stabilisation pond effluent
(IWA Publishing, 2018-11-29)Pilot-scale constructed wetlands (CWs) that allowed wastewater to flow with high interstitial velocities in a controlled environment were used to evaluate the possibility of using mass transfer approach to design horizontal ... -
Maternal knowledge-seeking behavior among pregnant women in Tanzania
(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2021-08-13)Background: Maternal mortality continues to be a global challenge with about 830 women dying of childbirth and pregnancy complications every day. Tanzania has a maternal mortality rate of 524 deaths per 100,000 live ... -
Maternal, newborn and child health needs, opportunities and preferred futures in Arusha and Ngorongoro: hearing women’s voices
(Petrucka et al. BMC Res Notes, 2015)With the approaching sunset on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), Tanzania continues with its final national push towards achievement of MDG #4 and MDG #5. The Mama Kwanza Socio-economic Health Initiative (MKSHI) ... -
Mathematical Approach to Investigate Stress due to Control Measures to Curb COVID-19
