Assessment of groundwater abstraction and hydrogeochemical investigation in Arusha city, northern Tanzania
(NM-AIST, 2020-03)In this work geological and hydrogeochemical data, radioisotopes and stable isotopes, and groundwater hydrographs were used to assess the groundwater abstraction trends and hydrogeochemical characteristics of Arusha ... -
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 ... -
Optimization of incineration process
(NM-AIST, 2019-02)Municipal solid waste management has become a challenge in many cities in the developing countries due to the poor methods of waste disposal, which increase the risk of the spread of diseases, leach and increase the demand ... -
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 ... -
Impacts of future climate and landuse changes on surface-groundwater balance in Usangu catchment
(NM-AIST, 2019-02)This study was undertaken to assess the impacts of future climate and land use/cover changes on surface-subsurface water balance in Usangu catchment, located in the Southern highlands of Tanzania. The objectives of 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 ... -
Biogas slurry derived mesoporous carbon/metal oxides composites for supercapacitors application
(NM-AIST, 2017-12)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 ... -
Development of a suitable pragmatic and cost effective biomonitoring method for assessing water pollution in tropical African rivers
(NM-AIST, 2015-09)The needs of tropical African countries to develop their own biomonitoring indices using local macroinvertebrates as opposed to adoption or relying on non-tropical indices in biomonitoring programmes for assessing freshwater ... -
Design of controlled release fertilizers on the base of polymeric, nanoclays and nanocomposite excipients
(2016-04)It was hypothesised that agronomically suitable controlled release fertilizers (CRFs) can be prepared using synthetic and/or natural biopolymers and polymer-clay nanocomposite excipients. Literature has focused almost ... -
Modelling of energy demand and supply patterns in Tanzania
(2016-04)Energy is an important element in realizing the interrelated socio-economic development of countries. In an attempt to develop long term energy demand and supply patterns that would enable the country meet her growing ...
