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 ...
Modeling the Transmission Dynamics of Bovine Tuberculosis
(Hindawi, 2020-03-30)
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a bacterial and zoonotic disease which is transmitted through consumption of unpasteurized milk and uncooked meat and inhalation of aerosols. In this paper, a deterministic mathematical model ...
Leveraging peer-to-peer farmer learning to facilitate better strategies in smallholder dairy husbandry
(SAGE journal, 2020-12-02)
Peer-to-peer learning paradigm is seldom used in studying how farmers can increase yield. In this article, agent-based modelling has been applied to study the chances of dairy farmers increasing annual milk yield by learning ...
‘Mind the Gap’: Reconnecting Local Actions and Multi-Level Policies to Bridge the Governance Gap. An Example of Soil Erosion Action from East Africa
(MDPI, 2020-09-25)
Achieving change to address soil erosion has been a global yet elusive goal for decades. Efforts to implement effective solutions have often fallen short due to a lack of sustained, context-appropriate and multi-disciplinary ...
Non-Newtonian heat and mass transfer on MHD blood flow through a stenosed artery in the presence of body exercise and chemical reaction
(Communications in Mathematical Biology and Neuroscience, 2020-09-17)
A mathematical model of non-Newtonian blood flow, heat and mass transfer through a stenosed artery is studied. The non-Newtonian model is chosen to suit the Herschel-Bulkley fluid characteristics, taking into account the ...
Modeling the Effects of Helminth Infection on the Transmission Dynamics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis under Optimal Control Strategies.
(Hindawi, 2020-11-18)
A deterministic mathematical model for the transmission and control of cointeraction of helminths and tuberculosis is presented, to examine the impact of helminth on tuberculosis and the effect of control strategies. The ...
Machine learning models for predicting the use of different animal breeding services in smallholder dairy farms in Sub-Saharan Africa.
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2020-05-01)
This study is concerned with developing predictive models using machine learning techniques to be used in identifying factors that influence farmers' decisions, predict farmers' decisions, and forecast farmers' demands ...
