Globally, there is a long tradition of concern about household welfare and forest dependence. Investigating the level of community perception in forest management can best be done through Participatory appraisal of the community involved. Perceptions and perspectives of forestry sector stakeholders are assessed using a survey methodology
A Neuro-fuzzy Expert System For Malaria Diagnosis – The Machine Learning Approach (case Study: Accra Polyclinic)
This paper presents the use of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) which provides a better option for Malaria diagnosis than the traditional diagnosis method which is characterized by suggestive guess work and observation of patients by doctors. Diagnosis of malaria in many cases has not been accurate by most physicians owing to factors such as tiredness and rashness and so
Healthcare Waste Management In Primary Health Care Settings: Case Study Of Ikenne Local Government, Ogun State, Nigeria
Healthcare waste management is a major challenge, especially in primary health care facility. This is because waste generated from this facility carries high potential for infections and injuries, yet not many studies have been carried out on healthcare waste generated in the area studied. Inadequate management of the waste may have serious consequences on public health. Therefore, this study was
Simulations Of Petroleum Particle Flow Near Lamu Basin Reservoir, Kenya, For A Study Of Petroleum Reservoir Characterization In Fully Confined Aquifer
We present a mathematical model for simulating petroleum particle flow for petroleum reservoir characterization, near the Lamu Basin of the Kenyan coast using the equations governing fluid flow. The petroleum particle flow near Lamu basin reservoir is pressure dependent, decreasing with decreasing pressure in time. In this numerical model, the partial differential equation was discretised using integrated finite difference method
