Modeling and optimization of clean water distribution networks
(NM-AIST, 2021-10)In this study, a model has been developed to find the minimum cost in distributing clean water. Linear Programming (LP) technique was used to formulate the model for Dodoma city. The developed model consists of both ... -
Modeling the dynamics and control of cassava mosaic disease
(NM-AIST, 2019-03)Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) is caused by cassava mosaic virus (CMV) and is transmitted by the whitefly vector called Bemisia tabaci. In this study, the deterministic model for transmission dynamics of CMD is formulated ... -
Modeling the effect of binding kinetics in spatial drug distribution in the brain
(NM-AIST, 2021-08)Key factors in the process of drug delivery in the human brain are blood-brain barrier, drug dis tribution and drug binding kinetics. Since human brain is entirely unavailable for experimenta tion, mathematical models have ... -
Modeling the effect of storm-water flow on sewer system leakage
(NM-AIST, 2020-03)The storm-water overflow on manhole is numerically solved in this study. To produce a real representation of storm overflow, the Navier-Stokes equations were used. Turbulence flow was modelled using the standard k-epsilon ... -
Modeling the transmission dynamics and control of cassava mosaic disease with non-cassava host plants
(NM-AIST, 2023-08)For many years cassava mosaic disease hinders cassava production in Africa. In this study, the mathematical model for the transmission dynamics and control of cassava mosaic disease in cassava and non-cassava host plant ... -
Modeling the transmission dynamics of bovine tuberculosis with control parameters
(NM-AIST, 2020-03)Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a bacterial and zoonotic disease which is transmitted through; consumption of unpasteurized milk, raw meat and inhalation of aerosols. This study used a deterministic mathematical model to ... -
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 ... -
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 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 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 spread and control of prosopis juliflora plants
(NM-AIST, 2021-07)The Prosopis julifrola plant is a thorny leguminous shrub or small tree, a kind of mesquite in a family of Fabacea. It is extremely aggressive and invasive. The spreading agents include livestock dispersal and seeds ... -
Modelling the transmission dynamics of banana xanthomonas wilt disease with control measures
(NM-AIST, 2020-03)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 ... -
Monitoring spread of epidemic diseases by using clinical data from multiple hospitals: a data warehouse approach
(NM-AIST, 2020-02)Many countries apply data science techniques to enhance their health sectors and the surveillance of diseases. The success of the innovations lies on the availability and quality of datasets to be analyzed. In Tanzania, ... -
The needs and opportunities for housing improvement for malaria control in Southern Tanzania
(NM-AIST, 2023-07)There is evidence that mosquito-proofed houses can reduce malaria risk. However, housing improvement is rarely included in malaria control toolboxes. This study assessed the need, magnitude, and opportunities for housing ... -

(NM-AIST, 2020-03)The implementation of the 2030 vision to provide a 12-years free primary and secondary education and higher education loan scheme offered by the government will increase students’ enrolment in higher learning institutions. ... -
Online platform for linking farmers and agro-vet services in Tanzania. case study: poultry
(NM-AIST, 2021-11)Poultry farming is a rapidly, growing livestock sector in Tanzania that supports rural and urban households on income and source of information. In addition to poultry being a source of food, it provides manure which ... -
Option pricing using jump diffusion model: a case of stock markets of selected east African countries
(NM-AIST, 2020-03)The stock price is characterized by several features which can only be captured by the best model. To investigate this the Merton's jump-diffusion model was developed and applied to the selected stocks of three East ... -
