Comparative Study Of Aquaculture Industry In Africa A Case Study On Trend Of Aquaculture Industry In Nigeria And Some Coastal Countries For A Decade
The only way Africa can sustain fisheries development is through Aquaculture for food production in the continent. The paper examined trend of aquaculture industry for a decade among some leading African countries and less privilege ones with emphasis on fisheries resources, challenges and development. Secondary data were collected from relevant literature as well as the Food and Agriculture Organization of
Participatory Variety Selection: Farmers Participation In Pigeon Pea (cajanus Cajan L., Millisp.) Genotypes Selection In Southern Tanzania
A participatory genotype/variety selection involving farmers in nine groups in South Eastern Tanzania and researchers from Naliendele Agricultural Research Institute (NARI) to select superior genotypes is described. Most farmers utilize landraces of pigeon pea which are low yielding and late maturity. Six newly improved pigeon pea genotypes obtained from ICRISAT were planted in each group site as un replicated trials.
Towards Elimination Of Hiv/aids In Nigeria: An Optimal Control Model
The main purpose of this paper is to find the optimal control strategy for the elimination of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria. Using contemporary strategies in control of HIV in Nigeria such as counseling and condom use, we formulated the optimal control problem. The existence for the optimal control is established and the Pontryagin’s maximum principle is used to characterize these controls.
An Optimization Model For The Control Of Cholera
In this paper, we presented a mathematical model for the optimal control of cholera. Investigating the best means of reducing the final size of the epidemic, we introduced three time dependent controls namely, provision of clean water, social distancing and treatment. Using optimal control theory we developed an objective functional to minimize the number of infectives. The Pontryagin’s Maximum principle
Modeling The Optimal Control Of Malaria: Anti-mosquitoes Techniques
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 blood. In this paper we proposed an optimal control model
Mathematical Analysis Of A Mass Action Model
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 solution of the model with initial condition in this region
Application Of Homotopy Analysis Method To Painleve’s Equation 1
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 of comparable accuracy to other semi-analytic methods.
Grassroots Accountability And Mission Accomplishment: The Case Of Acdep In Northern Ghana
It is common for donors to have their accountability claims honored while grassroots constituents, the supposed beneficiaries, are increasingly being alienated from the center of project decision-making. This study addresses how Association of Church Development Projects (ACDEP) accounts its actions to project beneficiaries and how both value the accountability mechanisms in practice. The study employed structured open-ended questionnaire and interview

Effect Of Bureaucracy On Administrative Control Systems In The University Of Education, Winneba
The study sought to investigate the effect of bureaucracy on the administration of the University of Education, Winneba. The research was a descriptive survey that adopted questionnaire as the instrument for data collection from a sample of 83 participants. The population of the study consisted of Deans, heads of department, the Finance Officer, administrators and student leaders in the University.
