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 ...
Development of a suitable pragmatic and cost effective biomonitoring method for assessing water pollution in tropical African rivers
(NM-AIST, 2015-09)
The needs of tropical African countries to develop their own biomonitoring indices using local macroinvertebrates as opposed to adoption or relying on non-tropical indices in biomonitoring programmes for assessing freshwater ...
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 ...
Fluoride Variations in Rivers on the Slopes of Mount Meru in Tanzania

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 ...
Investigation of uranium derived from phosphate fertilizers on plants uptakes and bacterial diversity in selected agricultural soils of east africa
(NM-AIST, 2024-08)
Different types of phosphate fertilizers (PFs) used in agriculture to increase soil fertility contain
uranium (U) as an accompanying element. Uranium is both toxic and slightly radioactive. This
study investigated the ...
The impacts of land use and climate change on Simiyu river discharge and the riverine sediment dynamics flowing towards lake Victoria
(NM-AIST, 2024-07)
This study aimed to trace the dominant sources of riverine sediments and assess climate
change's current and future impacts on the river discharge at the critical agroecological region
of the Simiyu catchment. Geochemical ...
More than pollutant removal: constructed wetlands and waste stabilization ponds as biodiversity hotspots and community assets in Tanzania
(NM-AIST, 2024-05)
Waste stabilization ponds (WSPs) and constructed wetlands (CWs) are important
ecotechnologies for wastewater treatment. Despite their potential and wastewater management
being challenging in urban and peri-urban areas ...
Influence of rice husk derived nano-silica on performance, emissions, and combustion characteristics of diesel engine fueled with baobab biodiesel
(NM-AIST, 2024-08)
The increasing number of on-road automobiles as a result of an exponential increase in
population and lifestyle places enormous strain on depleted fossil petroleum fuel, energy
security, and environmental stability. ...
