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 ...

Materials and Methods Raw corn and rice husk were washed several times using DIW to remove extraneous dirt and contaminants. The husks were then dried at 110 ºC overnight to remove moisture. Dried husks were then ground ...

The infl uence of large-scale mining operations on groundwater quality was investigated in this study. Trace element concentrations in groundwater samples from the North Mara mining area of northern Tanzania were analyzed. ...

Infestation caused by insect pests on legumes has been witnessed to cause losses in the fields during cultivation as well as during storage. Use of pesticidal plants is seen as an alternative option although it is not used ...

Environmental concerns and energy security uncertainties associated with fossil fuels have driven the world to shift to renewable energy sources. However, most renewable energy sources with exception of hydropower are ...

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 ...

Soil and water management is particularly relevant in semi-arid regions to enhance agricultural productivity. During periods of water scarcity, soil moisture differences are important indicators of the soil water deficit ...

Corrosion inhibition of aluminium using Carica papaya leaves extracts in 1M H2SO4 and IM H3PO4 was investigated under different temperatures (30, 40 and 500C) and concentrations (from 20-100 v/v %). The inhibitor was found ...

Computational and theoretical methods were employed to study the structure, vibrational spectra and thermodynamic properties of cluster ions that were detected earlier in saturated vapour over barium dihalides. The equilibrium ...

With the increasing utilities of intermittent renewable energies, hybrid electric vehicles and portable electronic devices, supercapacitors have been identified as one of the solution for energy storage since they can ...
