Greenhouse Gas and Particulate Emissions and Impacts from Cooking Technologies in Africa
(2003)In much of Africa, the largest fraction of energy consumption occurs within the residential sector and is derived primarily from woodfuels burned in simple stoves with poor combustion characteristics. Many of the products ... -
Influence of diet patterns on fuelwood consumption in Kenyan boarding schools and implications for data and energy policies
(2003)A study was devised to inquire into the influence of diet patterns in Kenyan boarding schools on the fuelwood consumption rates in these institutions and the implications of the findings on national data and energy policies. ... -
Institutional Mapping for Climate Change Adaptation in Eastern Africa
(2008)The Eastern African region, including the Horn of Africa, is highly vulnerable to climate change and several of its major sectors that significantly contribute to the sub-region’s economies will be severely affected. ... -
Integrating life cycle approaches to African national development policies: considering the institutional dimension of industrial ecology
(2004)This paper considers developments in the area of industrial ecology applications and public policy, and the need to facilitate the proliferation of life cycle approaches in Africa through national development policies. It ... -
Vulnerability to climate change in three hot spots in Africa and Asia: key issues for policy-relevant adaptation and resilience-building research
(2015)Providing sound evidence to inform decision-making that considers the needs of the most vulnerable to climate change will help both adaptation and development efforts. Such evidence is particularly important in climate ... -
Towards Sustainable Charcoal Production and Use: a Systems Approach
(2002)The majority of African households will continue depending on traditional fuels to meet their daily energy needs for many decades to come. In particular, the demand for charcoal in most countries in the region continues ... -
Greenhouse gas emissions and energy balances of jatropha biodiesel as an alternative fuel in Tanzania
(2013)This paper evaluates GHG emissions and energy balances (i.e. net energy value (NEV), net renewable energy value (NREV) and net energy ratio (NER)) of jatropha biodiesel as an alternative fuel in Tanzania by using life cycle ... -
Impacts of greenhouse gas and particulate emissions from woodfuel production and end-use in sub-Saharan Africa
(2004)Household energy in sub-Saharan Africa is largely derived from woodfuels burned in simple stoves with poor combustion characteristics. These devices emit products of incomplete combustion [PICs] that both damage human ... -
Draft final report of the LCM definition study
(2003)Life Cycle Management is a new framework to meet our present global challenges towards more sustainable patterns of production and consumption. In this context, LCM is offering a platform for the private and public sector. ... -
Tropical parasitic diseases
(2010)The term “parasitic diseases” is used in a restricted sense to refer to those diseases caused by protozoa (malaria, schistosomiasis, leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis, amoebiasis, giardiasis) and helminths (hookworm, ascaris, ... -
A cascade of biochemical and physiological markers in pathological disorders
(2012)A few years ago, a neurophysiology lecturer in the Department of Medical Physiology, University of Nairobi, was doing some research on possible indicators in malnourished children. The first indicator he chose was the ...
