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 ... -
Simulation and performance analysis of municipal solid waste gasification in a novel hybrid fixed bed gasifier
(NM-AIST, 2022-06)Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is a main challenge to municipalities in developing countries due to the increase in its production caused by technology development, community culture, population growth, and urbanization. ... -
Strategies to improve anaerobic digestion and environ-economic analysis of municipal solid wastes management options
(NM-AIST, 2021-06)Different strategies have widely been applied for improving the anaerobic digestion of the organic fraction of municipal solid wastes. However, because of the heterogeneous compositions of organic fraction of municipal ... -
Structural and biophysical characterization of cassava linamarase and the role of solvents on linamarin’s properties: a computational study
(NM-AIST, 2022-06)Linamarase and linamarin mainly from cassava have many applications ranging from food, environmental to the medical industry. To better explore the potential of this enzyme and its substrate, one needs to understand ... -
Study of crustacean biomass wastes for water defluoridation
(NM-AIST, 2018-09)High levels of fluoride (F-) in community drinking water supply is recognized as one of the major public health problems. Until now no efficient and affordable F- removal technology exists in many regions. This research ... -
Surface water – groundwater interactions: A case of a shallow semi-closed lake catchment in northern Tanzania
(NM-AIST, 2023-06)Conjunctive use of surface water and groundwater is rapidly growing in many developing countries as an adaptation strategy to climate variability and change. However, the interactions between the groundwater and the ... -
Theoretical study of structure, vibrational spectra and thermodynamic properties of cluster ions existing in vapours over barium dihalides
(NM-AIST, 2017-12)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 ... -
Tin halide perovskites: computational modeling of structural, electronic and thermodynamic properties towards solar cell applications
(NM-AIST, 2021-07)In the photovoltaic field, significant attention has been drawn to lead organo-halide perovskite materials because of their higher ability to convert sun energy to electricity and relatively simple process of fabrication ... -
Tin molybdenum mixed metal oxides catalyst for oxidative desulfurization of model diesel
(NM-AIST, 2023-08)This study reports on synthesis, characterization, and catalytic activity of mesoporous mixed metal oxides of tin (Sn) and molybdenum (Mo) for sulfur removal from model diesel. Variable synthesis conditions, namely ... -
Towards sustainable management of inland waters in Tanzania assessing the ecological integrity of river ecosystems in the upper Pangani river basin (Tanzania)
(KU Leuven, 2020-12)River ecosystems encompass river channels and its floodplains and form a diverse mosaic of habitats upon which countless species of animals and plants depend for survival. They provide a plethora of services for humans ...
