Modeling transmission dynamics and control of anthrax
(NM-AIST, 2019-03)Anthrax is a zoonotic disease caused by Bacillus anthraces. In this study the deterministic mathematical models for transmission dynamics of anthrax in absence and presence of control strategies in humans and animals are ... -
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. ... -
Modelling and optimisation of water loss management strategies in a water distribution system: a case of Moshi Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Authority (MUWSA)
(NM-AIST, 2020-03)Water loss in water distribution systems (WDS) is a serious problem in developing countries. A lot of water is lost on its way from the sources before reaching the consumers due to leakage, illegal use, and theft of ... -
Modelling and optimization of multiple replacement of supplementary cementitious materials for cement composite by response surface method.
(Elsevier Ltd., 2024-03-07)Supplementary cementitious materials are beneficial in improving performance and lessening the cement con- sumption with highly lessening CO2 emission. Many researchers used blast furnace slag, bentonite, and active limestone ... -
Modelling and simulation of novel liquid-infiltrated PCF biosensor in Terahertzfrequencies
(IET Optoelectronics, 2020-07-23)The liquid-infiltrated photonic crystal fibre (LI-PCF) is proposed for guiding terahertz radiation. Geometricalasymmetry is achieved by introducing a large ellipse in the core. By filling the ellipse with liquid ... -
Modelling elephant corridors over two decades reveals opportunities for conserving connectivity across a large protected area network
(PLOS ONE, 2023-10-13)Protected area (PA) connectivity is pivotal for the persistence of wide-ranging wildlife species, but is challenged by habitat loss and fragmentation. We analyzed habitat suitability and connectivity for the African elephant ... -
Modelling habitat conversion in miombo woodlands: insights from Tanzania
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2017-05-29)Understanding the drivers of natural habitat conversion is a major challenge, yet predicting where future losses may occur is crucial to preventing them. Here, we used Bayesian analysis to model spatio-temporal patterns ... -
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 ... -
Modelling optimal control of harvested prey predator system incorporating a prey refuge
(NM-AIST, 2019-03)prey-predator interactions have been an important role in the dynamics of species populations. This work presents mathematical model for Modelling Optimal control of Harvested prey- predator system incorporating a prey ... -
Modelling the Control of the Impact of Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) Infestations on Maize Production
(Hindawi, 2021-02-18)In this paper, we propose and analyze a stage-structured mathematical model for modelling the control of the impact of Fall Armyworm infestations on maize production. Preliminary analysis of the model in the vegetative and ... -
Modelling the dynamics of rabies transmission among dogs and to human and livestock in communities within and around Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
(NM-AIST, 2016-04)Rabies is one of the neglected tropical diseases that has persisted for centuries in Ethiopia, and it is endemic within and around Addis Ababa. In this dissertation, we propose a deterministic mathematical model with ... -
Modelling the impact of climate change on Tanzanian forests
(Wiley Online Library, 2020-08-31)Aim: Climate change is pressing extra strain on the already degraded forest eco system in Tanzania. However, it is mostly unknown how climate change will affect the distribution of forests in the future. We aimed to model ... -
Modelling the Impact of Human Population and Its Associated Pressure on Forest Biomass and Forest-Dependent Wildlife Population
(Hindawi Limited, 2023-01-12)Mathematical models have been widely used to explain the system originating from human-nature interaction, investigate the impacts of various components, and forecast system behaviour. This paper provides a profound reference ... -
