Dynamical and optimal control analysis of a seasonal Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense model
(AIMS Press, 2020-02-27)The e ects of seasonal variations on the epidemiology of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense disease is well documented. In particular, seasonal variations alter vector development rates and behaviour, thereby influencing the ... -
Mathematical model for the effects of treatment and vaccination controls on the dynamics of rotavirus disease with reference to Uganda
(SCIK Publishing Corporation, 2014)In this paper, while Rotavirus has been a recognised disease for a long time in developing countries like Uganda, the control of this endemic disease is still a challenge. We formulated a mathematical model for the dynamics ... -
Modeling Transmission Dynamics of Northern Corn Leaf Blight Disease with Seasonal Weather Variations
(Journal of Mathematics and Informatics, 2019-01-31)Northern Corn Leaf Blight (NCLB) disease is a fungal foliar disease caused by Exserohilum turcicum. Moderate temperature and high relative humidity are climatical conditions which favor the development of NCLB disease. ... -
Cluster based wireless sensor network for forests environmental monitoring
(International Journal of Advanced Technology and Engineering Exploration, 2020-02)Monitoring the forest’s weather has been essential to living things over the years. Currently, there is a shortage of information on real-time temporal and spatial environmental conditions of the forest that drive forest ... -
Centralized Education Management Information System for Tracking Student’s Academic Progress in Tanzanian Secondary Schools

An Empirical Approach to Phishing Countermeasures Through Smart Glasses and Validation Agents
(IEEE, 2019-09-10)Phishing attacks have been persistent for more than two decades despite mitigation efforts from academia and industry. We believe that users fall victim to attacks not only because of lack of knowledge and awareness, but ... -
Backward Bifurcation and Optimal Control Analysis of a Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense Model
(MDPI, 2019-10-14)In this paper, a mathematical model for the transmission dynamics of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense that incorporates three species—namely, human, animal and vector—is formulated and analyzed. Two controls representing ... -
Mathematical Model for the Transmission Dynamics of Bovine Tuberculosis in Human and Livestock with Control Strategies
(International Journal of Advances in Scientific Research and Engineering (ijasre), 2019-10)A deterministic mathematical model for bovine tuberculosis (bovine TB) in humans and livestock is formulated and used to assess the effectiveness of dairy products inspection, human treatment and quarantine of infected ... -
Modelling the Transmission Dynamics of Banana Xanthomonas Wilt Disease with Contaminated Soil
(Journal of Mathematics and Informatics, 2019-10-31)Banana Xanthomonas Wilt disease (BXW) is a bacterial disease which highly threaten banana production in east and central Africa. It is caused by a bacteria known as Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm). Mathematical ... -
Developing a Stochastic Model for Studying and Simulating Sediment Transport in Ports and Harbors
(International Journal of Advances in Scientific Research and Engineering (ijasre), 2019-09)A particle model to describe and predict sediment transport in shallow water is developed with the use of random walk models. The model is developed by showing consistency between the Fokker-Plank equation and the ... -
