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 ...
Seasonal and spatial variation of surface current in the Pemba Channel, Tanzania
(PLOS ONE, 2019-01-07)
The surface current speeds within the Pemba channel were examined using 24 years of drifter data received from the Global Drifter Program. This study aimed to uncover varying surface current in the Pemba Channel in different ...
Health Risk Assessment of Trace Elements in Soil for People Living and Working in a Mining Area
(Hindawi, 2021-07-02)
The present study used soils collected from a small-scale gold mine area to determine the health risks due to trace elements to the at-risk population in the study area. The work involved 74 soil samples from four sampling ...

(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 ...
