Simulating Water Vapor Removal in Glycol Gas Dehydration Mechanisms: A Comprehensive Analysis of Natural Gas and Dry Nitrogen
Ume Cyril Sunday*, Nnadikwe Johnson, Nwosi Hezekiah Andrew
Among other fossil fuels, natural gas is a major energy source. It is generally created saturated with water vapor. Dehydration of natural gas is vital in the gas business to remove water vapor from the gas supply, which may cause hydrate development in pipes. Gas dehydration employs Tri ethylene glycol (TEG) to remove water vapor from natural gas flow. The wet gas is dehydrated with lean glycol i
Prevalence of Aflatoxin Contamination along the Groundnut Value Chain Actors in Different Agro-Ecology and Evaluation of Groundnut Varieties for Resistant to Aspergillus flavus and Aflatoxin Contamination in Eastern Ethiopia
Ephrem Guchi, Amare Ayalew, Belachew Asalf
Aflatoxins are common contaminants in groundnut and pose considerable risk to human health and have significant economic implication. Although, aflatoxin contamination of groundnut could occur in the field,in storage and during marketing, the level of contamination may vary along the value chain. The objective of this study was to determine level of aflatoxin concentration in groundnut along the v
Information and Communication Technologies as Enablers for Effective Functioning of Agricultural Innovation Systems in Tanzania: Experiences of Young Farmers
Sylvester Jotta, Dismas L. Mwaseba, Jeremia R. Makindara, Shiferaw Feleke
This study presents the usefulness of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Agricultural Innovation Systems (AIS) functioning among young farmers in Tanzania. The AIS approach's preference for development results from its inclusiveness and interactions among the actors in influencing each other into learning and innovation. Young farmers in Tanzania are key actors in AIS functioning
Farm-level Crop Price as a Factor for Increased Maize Production in Ludewa District, Tanzania: Estimation of Koyck Lag Model
Mirau Mbise, Sospeter Jibunge Charles
Farm-level crop price is an important predictor of production increase, yet, little has been done about how food crop production is responsive to the expected price. Hence, this paper uses primary data to analyze the contribution of expected farm-level prices to the current production of crops. The primary data was collected from 427 sampled household heads through the interview conducted using an
Water Crises, Food insecurity & Climate Change: Linkages & Options for Offsetting the Adverse Impacts - the case of Southeastern Oromia in Ethiopia
Getu Bekere Mekonnen
Fresh water is one of the scarcest and the most unevenly distributed resources in our globe. Its natural scarcity, combined with the multifaceted pressures on the ecosystem’s ability to generate and retain water and the dire demand for it have resulted in water crises and food insecurity, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. In planning for any sort of socioeconomic transformation, water is a centr
Molecular Detection of Blood parasites from Wild ruminants from Matabeleland Province, Zimbabwe
Betera Gavaza Tapiwa Noel, Sibula Madeline
A number of wild ruminant species have been recognized as reservoirs for blood parasites that also affect domesticated ruminants. This has often resulted in transmission of these parasites from wild animals to domestic animals with catastrophic results being observed. Detection and molecular characterisation of blood parasites from wild ruminants from Matabeleland province, Zimbabwe was carried ou
