Evaluation of selected botanicals as insecticides against cabbage insect pests in Tanzania
(NM-AIST, 2022-06)
Synthetic pesticides are frequently and unwisely used to control cabbage insect pests by
smallholder farmers despite the environmental pollution and insect pests’ resistance
development. This work assessed the insecticidal ...
Hydrologic responses to climate and land use/cover changes in world heritage site of Ngorongoro conservation area and surrounding catchments, northern Tanzania
(NM-AIST, 2023-01)
In Tanzania, various studies have analyzed the impact of climate and land use/cover changes
on water resources. However, information on the interactions between climate and land
use/cover change, temporal and spatial ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Combination of natural betanidin dye with synthetic organic sensitiser towards dye-sensitised solar cell application
(NM-AIST, 2023-05)
Betanidins belong to natural red-purple pigments betacyanins, which experimentally
demonstrated good light adsorption in a visible range and might be suitable for the dye sensitised solar cell (DSSCs). Instability is a ...
Geological and hydro-geochemical assessment of fluorine around mount Meru, northern Tanzania
(NM-AIST, 2020-03)
Areas around Mt. Meru are among the areas in Tanzania where climate change, population
growth and high fluoride levels in much of the water sources lower availability of water for
domestic ...
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 ...
Land use change and temporal water quality dynamics on the slopes of mount Meru
(NM-AIST, 2020-09)
This work reports on the results obtained following the study on the land use change and
temporal water quality change in rivers of the slopes of Mount Meru in Northern Tanzania
between 2015 and 2016. Satellite images ...
