Analysis of spatial and temporal trend of hydro‑climatic parameters in the Kilombero River Catchment, Tanzania
(Springer Nature Limited, 2023-05-15)
Inadequate knowledge on actual water availability, have raised social-economic conficts that
necessitate proper water management. This requires a better understanding of spatial–temporal
trends of hydro-climatic variables ...
io-Oil Upgrading over ZSM-5 Catalyst: A Review of Catalyst Performance and Deactivation
(wiley, 2023-12-27)
Due to population explosion and industrialization, waste biomass and polymer conversion into biofuel has attracted the interest of researchers. The application of the ZSM-5 catalyst for bio-oil upgrading into renewable ...
Physicochemical and microbiological characterization and of hospital wastewater in Tanzania
(Elsevier, 2023-08-25)
Given the complex composition of hospital wastewater and the high risk of initiating disease outbreaks, comprehensive monitoring and treatment of hospital wastewater are required to prevent social and environmental ...
Experimental investigation of the variation in the potential of selected natural rocks as thermal energy storage materials
(NM-AIST, 2023-08)
Fossil fuels cause greenhouse gas emissions and are perceived to deplete, hence the use of
renewable energy is considered crucial. These renewables include the use of solar thermal
energy in concentrated solar power (CSP) ...
A quantity-quality tradeoff: Water quality and poverty assessment of drinking water sources in Southern Tanzania
(NM-AIST, 2023-06)
Regardless of being essential for human survival, access to potable water is still a problem in many
rural African communities with increasing exposure to waterborne illnesses. This study aimed at
establishing accessible ...
Characterization of bird, reptile, and insect community diversity in constructed wetlands and waste stabilization ponds across Tanzania
(Elsevier, 2023-11)
Wastewater treatment systems, such as Constructed Wetlands (CWs) and Waste Stabilization Ponds (WSPs), have untapped biodiversity enhancement and development potential. Birds, insects, and reptiles, which are displaced by ...
Remediation of soils contaminated with fluoride using seaweed-derived materials: case of slopes of mount Meru
(NM-AIST, 2023-08)
While exposure to low fluoride is essential for stronger bones and teeth, exposure to high
concentration (> 3 mg/L/day) leads to hyperostosis and osteoporosis. This research evaluated
the role of fertilizer application ...
Short-term forecast techniques for energy management systems in microgrid applications
(NM-AIST, 2023-07)
In the 2015 Paris Agreement, 195 countries adopted a global climate agreement to limit the
global average temperature rise to less than 2°C. Achieving the set targets involves increasing
energy efficiency and embracing ...
Rheological and physicochemical analysis of non- edible oils used for biodiesel production
(NM-AIST, 2023-07)
The knowledge of the physicochemical and rheological flow characteristics of biodiesel
feedstock is used for quality control in production, storage and transportation processes.
Moreover, the knowledge is applied in ...
Influence of duct configurations on the performance of solar-assisted heat pump dryer for drying tobacco leaves
(NM-AIST, 2023-08)
nadequate storage facilities and preservation techniques lead to a decrease in the quality of
agricultural products. Application of modern processing techniques has reduced post-harvest
losses of agricultural crops. ...
