Optimal control analysis of pneumonia and HIV/AIDS co-infection model
(Mathematics Open, 2024)A Pneumonia and HIV/AIDS deterministic co-infection model is constructed and utilized to assess how the dynamics of Pneumonia and HIV/AIDS impact on each other. In order to summarize the analysis of Pneumonia and HIV/AIDS ... -
A Mathematical Model for the Co-infection Dynamics of Pneumocystis Pneumonia and HIV/AIDS with Treatment
(Science Journal of Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2023)The control of opportunistic infections among HIV infected individuals should be one of the major public health concerns in reducing mortality rate of individuals living with HIV/AIDS. In this study a deterministic ... -
A Mathematical Model for the Dynamics of Onchocerciasis With Vector Control and Mass Drug Administration
(Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2024)In this paper, we investigate the transmission dynamics of onchocerciasis with asymptomatic infected humans using a mathematical model. The model incorporates interventions for treatment and vector control to evaluate the ... -
Spectral properties of sub-kilometer-scale equatorial irregularities as seen by the Swarm satellites
(Advances in Space Research, 2023)Abstract The faceplates on-board the Swarm satellites have provided high-resolution measurements of electron density at a frequency of 16 Hz along the satellite paths. The 16-Hz electron density data from Swarm were ... -
Mathematical Modelling of Tuberculosis and Hepatitis C Coinfection Dynamics with No Intervention
(Journal of Mathematics, 2024)In this study, a deterministic tuberculosis (TB)-hepatitis C (HCV) coinfection mathematical model with no intervention is analysed purposely to examine the dynamics of TB HCV coinfection so as to find conditions for reducing ... -
Validation of equatorial electrojet derived from Swarm observations using ground based magnetometers
(Advances in Space Research, 2023)This paper presents the analysis of the Equatorial electrojet (EEJS) and Counter equatorial electrojet (CEJS) at quiet times (Kp63) deduced from the absolute scalar magnetometers (ASM) of the Swarm satellites. The EEJS and ... -
The Distance and Peculiar Velocity of the Norma Cluster (ACO3627) Using the Near-infrared J- and Ks-band Fundamental Plane Relations
(The Astrophysical Journal, 2021)We report distance measurements for the Norma cluster based on the near-infrared J- and Ks-band fundamental plane (FP) relations. Our simultaneous J- and Ks-band photometry analyses were performed using 31 early-type ... -
Relationship between the Traffic Parameters and Road Traffic Accidents using Fuzzy Logic Designer in Matlab: A Case Study of Uganda’s Road Traffic Accident
(International Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Mechatronics, 2021)Road traffic accidents in Uganda continue to increase with increasing parameters like population, cars owned. The accidents mainly increase due to driver errors. Strictness on the driving lessons in driving schools have ... -
