Microwave communication networks as a sustainable tool of rainfall monitoring for agriculture needs in Africa
(Corresponding) David N., (Corresponding) Gao H., Kumah K., Hoedjes J., Su B., Liu Y.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Commercial Microwave Links (CMLs), that provide the underlying framework for data transfer between cellular network base stations have been found effective for monitoring rainfall. Wireless infrastructure of this kind is deployed widely by communication providers across Africa and can be used as a...Read more
Can Cell-Phone Tower Signals Help Fight Malaria in Africa?
(Corresponding) David N., (Corresponding) Gao H.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
Malaria is one of the major causes of mortality in the world today. Sub-Saharan African countries suffer most acutely from outbreaks of the disease and some 90% of cases of death (hundreds of thousands of people each year) occur in this region. High intensity rainfall is a central parameter leading...Read more

Synthesis and characterization of nanomagnetite for environmental applications
(Corresponding) Mystrioti C., Papassiopi N., Xenidis A.
Topic:
Environmental applications of nanomaterials
Μagnetite (Fe3O4) in nanoscale has been very attractive due to its unique properties which make it ideal for a wide range of applications. Nanomagnetite can be applied as drug delivery medium, as catalyst and as efficient adsorbent and reducing agent for water treatment. In this study, magnetite...Read more
