Multi-Criteria Decision Making and Numerical Optimization Approaches for Optimizing Water Loss Management Strategies in Water Distribution System A case of Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Authorities in Tanzania
(Modern education and computer science press, 2019-11)
Water loss in water distribution systems (WDS) is a serious problem in Tanzania and the third world countries
at large. A lot of water is lost on its way before reaching the consumers. This causes a shortage of water ...
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 ...
Implementation of a goal programming model for solid waste management: a case study of Dar es Salaam – Tanzania
(EDP Sciences, 2017)
Abstract – In this research article, the multi-objective optimization model for solid waste management problem is
solved by the goal programming method. The model has three objectives: total cost minimization, minimization ...
An Integrated Cloud-Based Wireless Sensor Network for Monitoring Industrial Wastewater Discharged into Water Sources
(Scientific Research Publishing Inc, 2017-08-21)
This paper presents a prototype of an Integrated Cloud-Based Wireless Sensor
Network (WSN) developed to monitor pH, conductivity and dissolved oxygen
parameters from wastewater discharged into water sources. To provide ...
A Survey of Machine Learning Approaches and Techniques for Student Dropout Prediction
(Data Science Journal, 2019-04-17)
School dropout is absenteeism from school for no good reason for a continuous number of days. Addressing this challenge requires a thorough understanding of the underlying issues and effective planning for interventions. ...
Modeling and Stability Analysis for Measles Metapopulation Model with Vaccination
(Science Publishing Group, 2015-10-22)
In this paper, a metapopulation model is formulated as a system of ordinary differential equations to study the
impact of vaccination on the spread of measles. The disease-free equilibrium is computed and proved to be ...
Machine learning approach for reducing students dropout rates
(International Journal of Advanced Computer Research, 2019-05-06)
serious issue in developing countries. On the other hand, machine learning techniques have gained much attention on addressing this problem. This paper, presents a thorough analysis of four supervised learning classifiers ...
Modeling the Dynamics of Rabies Transmission with Vaccination and Stability Analysis
(Science Publishing Group, 2015-10-09)
In this paper we formulate a deterministic mathematical model for the transmission dynamics of rabies in human
and animal within and around Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Our model involves vaccination program for dog population. ...
Wildfire Monitoring and Detection System Using Wireless Sensor Network: A Case Study of Tanzania
(Scientific Research Publishing Inc, 2017-08-18)
This paper proposes a wildfire monitoring and detection system based on wireless
sensor network. This system detects fire by monitoring surrounding temperature,
humidity and smoke. Once fire is detected, a warning message ...
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 ...
