Effect of Industrial Dust Deposition on Photovoltaic Module Performance: Experimental Measurements in the Tropical Region
(Hindawi, 2019-12-20)
Dust particle accumulation affects outdoor photovoltaic module transmittance of solar cell glazing and thus leads to significant degradation of conversion efficiency owing to lower irradiance reaching the surface. In this ...
Performance analysis of standalone solar PV panel: case study of Arusha, Tanzania
(NM-AIST, 2019-03)
The purpose of this study was to carry out experimental and theoretical performance analysis of standalone solar Photovoltaic (PV) panel in tropical region. The study concentrated on the influence of poor PV panel positioning ...
Potential of Scoria, Pumice, and RHA as Supplementary Cementitious Materials for Reducing Setting Time and Improving Early Strength of Pozzolan Blended Composite Cement
(NM-AIST, 2019-10)
Tanzania has huge deposits of scoria (S-N) and pumice (P-N) minerals that can be used as
supplementary cementing materials (SCMs) in cement factories to cut down the cost of cement
and its pollution effect to the ...
Sources and hydro-geochemical characteristics of lake Duluti waters, Tanzania
(NM-AIST, 2019-11)
Water chemistry, and stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen (
18O and 2H), were used
collectively to characterize and quantify Lake Duluti (L. Duluti) – groundwater interaction.
Physico-chemical parameters including ...
Semi-Transparent Building Integrated Photovoltaic Solar Glazing: Investigations of Electrical and Optical Performances for Window Applications in Tropical Region
(Hindawi, 2019-12-17)
Integrating solar PV technology with semi-transparent windows permits multifunctional operation as electricity generation and allowing natural light to enter the building, hence overall energy efficiency improvement. The ...
Production Diversity, Men’s Help with Household Tasks, & Lower Women’s Depression Mediate Impact of an Agriculture Intervention on Child’s Dietary Diversity in Tanzania (FS01-06-19)
(Elsevier, 2019-06-01)
Production diversity and women’s empowerment are two ways by which nutrition-sensitive agriculture interventions are thought to improve children’s diet, but, few empirical studies have tested these pathways. We therefore ...
Water defluoridation by Fe (III)-loaded sisal fibre: Understanding the influence of the preparation pathways on biosorbents’ defluoridation properties
(Elsevier, 2019-01-15)
Defluoridation properties of two Fe(III)-loaded plant biomass (Fe(III)-activated sisal fibre (Fe(III)-ASF) and post-alkalized Fe(III)-ASF (PA-Fe(III)-ASF)) distinguished by preparation pathways through exclusion/inclusion ...
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 ...
