Assessing Land Use/Cover dynamics of the Ngorongoro world heritage site in Tanzania using a hybrid CA–Markov model
(Authorea, 2020-10)
In this study, land-use/cover pattern of the UNESCO world heritage site, Ngorongoro Conservation Area; is analyzed
using the CA–Markov model with the help of RS and GIS. Hybrid classification techniques ware used to monitor ...
Performance of Sweet Potato’s Leaf-Derived Activated Carbon for Hydrogen Sulphide Removal from Biogas
(Hindawi, 2020-03-01)
In this study, sweet potato leaf activated carbon (SpLAC) was prepared by the chemical activation method using KOH and applied as an adsorbent for H2S removal from biogas. The study focused on the understanding of 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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Remediation of Soils Contaminated by Fluoride Using a Fermentation Product of Seaweed (Eucheuma cottonii)
(Hindawi, 2022-10-03)
is study investigated the e cacy of fermented seaweed (Eucheuma cottonii) on the remediation of uoride-contaminated soil.
e soil was amended with either 1.25, 3.0, or 5.0% (w/w) fermented seaweed (FSW), parallel with ...
What influences individuals to invest in improved sanitation services and hygiene behaviours in a small town? A formative research study in Babati, Tanzania
(PLOS ONE, 2022-07-21)
Sub-Sahara African countries face immense challenges in ensuring adequate sanitation and hygiene behaviours to the rapidly growing populations. Attempts to address these challenges require empirical evidence to inform ...
Chitosan-coated liposomes of Carrisa spinarum extract: synthesis, analysis and anti-pneumococcal potency
(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 ...
