Trends towards Effective Analysis of Fluorinated Compounds Using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)
(Hindawi, 2021-02-03)
Increased demand for monitoring and identification of novel and unknown fluorinated compounds (FCs) has demonstrated the need of sensitive fluorine-specific detectors for unknown FCs in both biological and environmental ...
Strength and Durability Properties of Concrete Containing Pumice and Scoria as Supplementary Cementitious Material
(Hindawi, 2021-05-24)
Concrete structures suffer serious deterioration under a corrosive environment. Consequently, the service life of these concrete
structures is decreased and deteriorates under combined attack of sulphate and chlorides. ...
Transformations to groundwater sustainability: from individuals and pumps to communities and aquifers
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021-05-11)
If the success of agricultural intensification continues to rely on the depletion of aquifers and exploitation of (female) labour, transformations to groundwater sustainability will be impossible to achieve. Hence, the ...
Clay-based ceramic materials for water de-fluoridation
(NM-AIST, 2021-08)
Long-term consumption of water with fluoride concentration above the WHO recommended
limit of 1.5 mg/g may cause fluorosis. Low-income communities living in fluoride endemic
regions are more affected as they cannot afford ...
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 ...
A Review on Computational Fluid Dynamics Applications in the Design and Optimization of Crossflow Hydro Turbines
(Hindawi, 2021-10-15)
In recent years, advances in using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software have greatly increased due to its great potential to
save time in the design process compared to experimental testing for data acquisition. ...
Capacitive Deionization for the Removal of Paraquat Herbicide from Aqueous Solution
(Hindawi, 2021-10-08)
In comparison to other conventional methods like adsorption and reverse osmosis (RO), capacitive deionization (CDI) has only been investigated extensively for the removal of inorganic pollutants from water, demonstrating ...
Clustering and Fuzzy Logic-Based Demand-Side Management for Solar Microgrid Operation: Case Study of Ngurudoto Microgrid, Arusha, Tanzania
(Hindawi, 2021-02-15)
Permanent electricity availability should not be taken for granted since grid sustainability and reliability are at stake when there is no balance between supply and demand. This paper employs a load balancing demand-side ...
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 ...
Assessment of fluoride bioaccumulation in catfish grown in fluoride rich waters
(NM-AIST, 2021-08)
Fluoride bioaccumulation in fish poses a significant impact to their growth performance,
survival and consequently to the upper trophic levels. Few studies have reported the impact of
high fluoride concentration and their ...
