Modeling The Optimal Control Of Malaria: Anti-mosquitoes Techniques | | Researchjournali's Journal Of Mathematics | Jun,2015
Malaria is one of the most important infectious diseases in sub-Saharan Africa and in many other regions of the world. The disease kills at least one African child in every minute. Malaria is a vector borne disease transmitted by the female anopheles mosquito in the process of feeding on human
Mathematical Analysis Of A Mass Action Model | | Researchjournali's Journal Of Mathematics | Jun,2015
We presented and analyzed a mass action model with vital dynamics. This type of model is suitable for many childhood diseases like Mumps, Rubella and other highly contagious diseases like influenza. We showed that the region in which the model makes biological sense is positively invariant, this means that any
Application Of Homotopy Analysis Method To Painleve’s Equation 1 | | Researchjournali's Journal Of Mathematics | Jun,2015
Homotopy analysis method (HAM) is a semi-analytic method developed to solve linear and non-linear problems. In this paper, HAM is applied to a nonlinear problem of Painleve’s equation 1. HAM provides us with a convenient way to control the convergence of approximation series. It gives approximate analytical solutions which are
Comparison Of Dietary Practices Among Pre-school Children In Households Practicing And Not Practicing Irrigation In Turkana County, Kenya | | Researchjournali's Journal Of Public Health | Jun,2015
Turkana County is a region of soils of high agricultural potential but aridity hinders its exploitation. It is characterized by scarce, erratic rainfall patterns. In the Kenya Vision 2030, increasing land under irrigation is one of the key areas under agriculture sector. It aims at improving food security and household
Causes Of Industrial Conflict In The Nigerian Civil Service: A Study Of Anambra State Civil Service Between 1979 And 1989 | | Researchjournali's Journal Of Sociology | Jun,2015
Abstract
Before and after colonialism, industrial conflicts have been a prominent feature in the Nigerian labour history. This is evidence in private and public work sectors. Majority of these conflicts have ended up is strike actions. This has adverse consequences on the nation’s industrial growth and development. Previous studies paid attention
Local Government Administration And The Challenge Of Harnessing The Potentials Of Rural Women In Nigeria | | Researchjournali's Journal Of Sociology | Jun,2015
The global issue of gender inequality has become a severe impediment to the realization of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Nigeria. The paper is intended to highlight the enormous tasks challenging local government administration in Nigeria towards harnessing those positive potentials which have been suppressed due to the influence of
Factors Influecing Loan Repayment Among Small-scale Farmers In The North-eastern Part Of Yobe State, Nigeria | | Researchjournali's Journal Of Agriculture | May,2015
The study was conducted to asses the factors influencing credit repayment among small- scale farmers under North East Arid Zone Development Programme(NEAZDP). One hundred and eighty (180) NEAZDP loan beneficiaries were randomly selected The result of regression analysis showed that farm income and household size were positively significant at
Economic Impact Assessment Of The Classical Biological Control Of Papaya Mealybug In Ghana | | Researchjournali's Journal Of Agriculture | May,2015
Empirical evidence shows that Classical Biological Control (CBC) is among the most cost-effective methods used for pest control. This paper is an ex-post assessment done to validate the impact of the adoption of the Classical Biological Control of papaya mealybug (Paracoccus marginatus) infestation in Ghana. The Economic Surplus Model was
Economics Of Climate Change Adaptation In Smallholder Rice Production Systems In Wami-ruvu Basin, Tanzania | | Researchjournali's Journal Of Agriculture | May,2015
A study was conducted in Morogoro Rural and Mvomero Districts in Morogoro Region, Tanzania to assess the economics of climate change adaptation in smallholder rice production systems. Three smallholder rice production systems were covered including irrigation, rainwater harvesting and upland rainfed systems. The paper utilizes the data collected using a
Farmer Adaptation Strategies To The Impacts Of Climate Variability In Kakamega County, Kenya | | Researchjournali's Journal Of Agriculture | May,2015
Climate variability entails short to medium term fluctuations of climatic variables around mean state on climate scales. Impacts of climate variability include amongst others: increase in extreme weather conditions; land degradation, changes in rainfall patterns; diminishing natural resource productivity; and in some areas, irreversible loss of biodiversity. Agricultural sector is
