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 ...
Biodiesel production from parinari curatellifolia seeds oil using basic heterogeneous catalyst derived from tamarindus indica fruit shells
(NM-AIST, 2019-03)
Biodiesel is an alternative fuel to mineral diesel. It is produced from abundant and easily available renewable resources of animal fats and vegetable oil. However, the cost of oil feedstock is the major obstacle towards ...
Water quality variation and pollutants transformation in the Nadosoito dam of Arkatani village, Monduli district
(NM-AIST, 2019-02)
The study aimed at assessing seasonal dynamics of water quality parameters, transformation of selected pollutants and seasonal diversity of selected microorganisms (Cyanobacteria) in Nadosoito dam of Arkatani Village, ...
Theoretical and experimental studies of combination of synthetic dye (indoline d131) and natural dye (lawsone) for dye sensitized solar cells applications
(NM-AIST, 2019-02)
Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) convert visible sunlight to electricity using a wide band semiconductor. The DSSCs have attracted many researchers due to their environmental friendliness, low manufacturing cost and ...
Risks of sanitation facilities to groundwater pollution in Babati town, Tanzania
(NM-AIST, 2019-03)
Despite of its importance for human consumption groundwater resource is under threat of
overexploitation and pollutions. The study to assess the risks of sanitation facilities to
groundwater pollution was carried out in ...
Simulation, performance analysis and improvements of solar farm installation in Tanzania
(NM-AIST, 2019-04)
With the environmental advantages of solar energy, the use of solar photovoltaic (PV) in electricity generation is encouraged by Tanzanian governments, however, the number of institutions that are benefiting from installing ...
Evaluation of rice husk ash and vermiculite materials in the production of ceramic tiles
(NM-AIST, 2019-03)
The challenging issues in ceramic tiles are low mechanical strength, thermal discomfort and
high production costs. Apart from strength the technical functions of floor tiles based on
thermal insulation is very important ...
Impacts of future climate and landuse changes on surface-groundwater balance in Usangu catchment
(NM-AIST, 2019-02)
This study was undertaken to assess the impacts of future climate and land use/cover changes on surface-subsurface water balance in Usangu catchment, located in the Southern highlands of Tanzania. The objectives of the ...
Optimization of incineration process
(NM-AIST, 2019-02)
Municipal solid waste management has become a challenge in many cities in the developing countries due to the poor methods of waste disposal, which increase the risk of the spread of diseases, leach and increase the demand ...
Investigation of combination effect of natural dye (crocetin) and synthetic dye (indoline d205) for dye sensitized solar cells application
(NM-AIST, 2019-02)
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are reckoned as emerging next-generation solar cells of a high potency. Co-sensitization of dyes facilitates widening of the light absorption range of a sensitizer and is one of possible ...
