Effect of industrial dust deposition on photovoltaic module performance: Experimental measurements in tropical region
(NM-AIST, 2020-02)
Dust particles accumulation affects photovoltaic module transmittance of photovoltaic solar cell
glazing, and thus leading to substantial reduction of conversion efficiency owing to lower
irradiance reaching the surface. ...
Experimental Investigations of Oxidation Stability of Biodiesel Produced from Manketti Seeds Oil (Schinziophyton rautanenii)
(ACS Publications, 2011-04-12)
In this study, biodiesel from Manketti seeds oil (Schinziophyton rautanenii) was investigated to determine its suitability for use as a petrodiesel substitute. The fuel-related properties of Manketti oil methyl ester (MOME) ...
Investigation of sediment source and delivery dynamics in an east African hydropower reservoir using sediment tracing technology
(NM-AIST, 2022-03)
This study aimed to reconstruct the sedimentation rates over time and identify the changing
sources of sediment in a major hydropower reservoir in Tanzania, the Nyumba ya Mungu
(NYM). The study also aimed to evaluate ...
Risk assessment of heavy metals in water and sediments in the Mara river and its tributaries
(NM-AIST, 2022-07)
The present study assessed the levels of As, Cd, Cr, Hg, and Pb in water and sediments from the
Mara River and its tributaries in Tanzania. The Mara River has recently been exposed to
anthropogenic activities including, ...
Analysis of Macro- and Microplastics in Riverine, Riverbanks, and Irrigated Farms in Arusha, Tanzania
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2021-11-16)
Microplastics and macroplastics have been reported in different urban rivers and agricultural soil across the globe. However, the interlink between them has not been previously assessed. The present study evaluated the ...
Chitosan-coated liposomes of Carrisa spinarum extract: synthesis, analysis and anti-pneumococcal potency
(ICE Publishing, 2023-02-16)
In the present study, a chitosan (CS)-coated liposome (LipCsP-Chitosan) nanocarrier was fabricated for the delivery of Carissa spinarum (CsP) polyphenols to improve bioavailability and anti-pneumococcal potential against ...
Inorganic Nanocarriers: Surface Functionalization, Delivery Utility for Natural Therapeutics - A Review
(Scientific.Net, 2022-08)
Inorganic nanocarriers for a decade have increased interest in nanotechnology research platform as versatile drug delivery materials. The utility of the inorganic nanocarriers for delivery of therapeutic agents is attributed ...
Adsorption-capacitive deionization hybrid system with activated carbon of modified potential of zero charge
(Elsevier, 2023-02-15)
In this study water solutions are desalinated with carbon electrodes of modified surface charges. The idea is to endow the electrodes with the ability to physically adsorb salt ions without applying potential so as to save ...
Assessment of Groundwater Quality under Changing Climate in Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2022-07)
Understanding the hydrochemical composition of water resources in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA, Dodoma, Tanzania) related to climate variability is essential for sustainable development. Thus, the current study ...
Catalytic hydrothermal liquefaction of orange peels into biocrude: An optimization approach by Central Composite Design
(Elsevier B.V., 2023-06-01)
Global instability, persistent increase in pump-price, inflation and depletion of fossil fuel resources amidst the continuous discharge of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels combustion call for urgent attention. The ...
