A deterministic mathematical model with non-linear least squares method for investigating the transmission dynamics of lumpy skin disease
Renald, Edwiga; Masanja, Verdiana; Tchuenche, Jean; Buza, Joram (Elsevier, 2024-05-18)Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an economically significant viral disease of cattle caused by the lumpy disease virus (LSDV) which is primarily spread mechanically by blood feeding vectors such as particular species in flies, ... -
Developing a Stochastic Model for Studying and Simulating Sediment Transport in Ports and Harbors
Msamba, Oscar C.; Masanja, Verdiana; Mahera, Wilson (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 ... -
Frequentist and Bayesian Approaches in Modeling and Prediction of Extreme Rainfall Series: A Case Study from Southern Highlands Region of Tanzania
Kyojo, Erick; Mirau, Silas; Osima, Sarah; Masanja, Verdiana (Hindawi, 2024-01-30)This study focuses on modeling and predicting extreme rainfall based on data from the Southern Highlands region, the critical for rain-fed agriculture in Tanzania. Analyzing 31 years of annual maximum rainfall data ... -
Heat and mass transfer investigation of unsteady magnetohydro dynamic nanofluid flow in a porous pipe in the presence of chemical reactions
Zahor, Feda; Ali, Ahmada; Jain, Reema; Masanja, Verdiana (Journal of Engineering and Technology Research, 2023-08-30)This article presents a numerical investigation of mass and heat transfer effects on an unsteady Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) nanofluid flow in a permeable pipe. The influences of the chemical reaction and magnetic flux are ... -
A Mathematical Model for Transmission of Taeniasis and Neurocysticercosis
Rwabona, Gideon; Masanja, Verdiana; Mfinanga, Sayoki; Degoot, Abdoelnaser; Mirau, Silas (Hindawi, 2024-03-11)In this study, we present a mathematical model for the codynamics of taeniasis and neurocysticercosis and rigorously analyze it. To understand the underlying dynamics of the proposed model, basic system properties such ... -
Modelling the Transmission Dynamics of Banana Xanthomonas Wilt Disease with Contaminated Soil
Mapinda, John Joel; Mwanga, Gasper Godson; Masanja, Verdiana (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 ... -
The role of modeling in the epidemiology and control of lumpy skin disease: a systematic review
Renald, Edwiga; Buz, Joram; Tchuench, Jean; Masanja, Verdiana (Springer Berlin Heidelb, 2023-09-15)Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an economically important viral disease of cattle caused by lumpy disease virus (LSDV) and transmitted by blood-feeding insects, such as certain species of flies and mosquitoes, or ticks.
