Heuristic Evaluation and Usability Testing of G-MoMo Applications
(IADITI, 2022-07)Financial technology (FinTech) has swiftly revolutionized mobile money as one of the ways of accessing financial services in developing countries. Numerous mobile money applications were developed to access mobile ... -
High energy density materials based on fluorinated bridged trinitromethyl azo triazole derivatives: a quantum chemical study of thermodynamic and energetic properties
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2020-10-19)High energy density materials (HEDM) have gained extensive attention due to their energetic properties and safety issues. Nitro and fluoro groups, among others, have become viable substituents on the triazole framework ... -
High energy density materials based on fluorinated bridged trinitromethyl azo triazole derivatives: a quantum chemical study of thermodynamic and energetic properties
(NM-AIST, 2021-03)High energy density materials (HEDM) have gained extensive attention due to their energetic properties and safety issues. Nitro and fluoro groups, among others, have become viable substituents in the HEDM triazole framework ... -
High-frequency dynamics of pH, dissolved oxygen, and temperature in the coastal ecosystems of the Tanga- Pemba Seascape: implications for upwelling-enhanced ocean acidification and deoxygenation
(Frontiers, 2024-01-08)Ocean acidification, deoxygenation, and warming are three interconnected global change challenges caused by increased anthropogenic carbon emissions. These issues present substantial threats to marine organisms, ecosystems, ... -
Highly porous biomass-based capacitive deionization electrodes for water defluoridation
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2019-12-09)The high concentration of fluoride (F−) in water sources is the main challenge in major fluoride belts. Though capacitive deionization (CDI) with porous carbon electrodes is the promising alternative in removing charged ... -
Highly sensitive biosensor based on a microstructured photonic crystal fibre for alcohol sensing
(Elseiver, 2023-04-15)A microstructure alcohol biosensor has been proposed to operate in the wavelength range of 0.8 to 2.0 μm for the sensing of propanol, butanol, and pentanol, unveiling impressive results of relative sensitivity and ... -
The histomorphological and stereological assessment of rat dorsal root ganglion tissues after various types of sciatic nerve injury
(Research Square, 2023-08-01)Peripheral nerve injuries lead to significant changes in the dorsal root ganglia, where the cell bodies of the damaged axons are located. The sensory neurons and the surrounding satellite cells rearrange the composition ... -
HIV/AIDS information and changing sexual behaviour among undergraduate students in Tanzania
(Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2012)Purpose – This paper aims to investigate the level of HIV/AIDS information among undergraduate students at two university colleges in Tanzania, and its role in changing risky sexual behaviour. Design/methodology/approach ... -
Honeybees’ foraging patterns and their relation to honey antimicrobial activity
(NM-AIST, 2023-06)Honeybees’ existence is highly influenced by the availability of their preferred foraging plants. This study assessed honeybees’ foraging patterns and their relationship to honey antimicrobial activity in Same ... -
Household food insecurity and gender inequity is associated with high prevalence of maternal depression amongst female farmers with young children in rural Tanzania
(The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 2018-10-03)There is growing recognition of the importance of maternal mental health for the well-being of both mothers and children. In addition to being of importance to public health concern on its own right, maternal depression ... -
Household vegetable processing practices influencing occurrence of pesticide residues in ready‐to‐eat vegetables
(John Wiley & Sons, 2019-11-19)Influence of vegetable processing on pesticide residues in ready‐to‐eat vegetables studied at the experimental level does not necessarily reflect actual situation at household level. This study assessed influence of household ... -
