    Abstract: In this work, we developed a mathematical model for the transmission dynamics of the Syphilis disease under some assumptions made. The method of differential transformation is employed to compute an approximation to the solution of the non-linear systems of differential equations for the transmission dynamic of the disease model. The differential t... Show More

    Abstract: In this paper, the interactions among three species populations are considered. The system includes two mutuality preys and one predator. The second prey is harvested. While dependent on preys, the predator has an alternative food source also. The three species interaction can be described as a food chain in which two preys help each other but the ... Show More

    Abstract: After fifty years of documented history of Lassa fever in Nigeria, the country is still recording the highest record of outbreaks worldwide with Ebonyi state been the most affected state in the whole of Eastern Nigeria. This has activated interventional measures coming from both the government and scholars. The government through the Nigeria Centre... Show More

    Abstract: Scientific literature lack straight forward answer as to the most suitable method for missing data imputation in terms of simplicity, accuracy and ease of use among the existing methods. Exploration various methods of data imputation is done, and then a robust method of data imputation is proposed. The paper uses simulated data sets generated for v... Show More

    Abstract: As the density of human population increases the forest density will be highly affected by population from time to time for agricultural, industrial, economic purpose, and etc. Because of lack of awareness about the importance of forestry resources, the human populations clear forests for different purposes. Keeping this in mind, a nonlinear mathem... Show More

    Abstract: In this paper a deterministic mathematical model for the spread of malaria in human and mosquito populations are presented. The model has a set of eight non – linear differential equations with five state variables for human and three for mosquito populations respectively. Susceptible humans can be infected when they are bitten by an infectious mos... Show More

    Abstract: In this study, a mathematical model is developed to explore the population dynamics of two host species. Both the hosts depend on the same resources and the availability of such resources is limited in nature. If the host populations increase abnormally the limited natural resources will be used up. Hence, the concept of parasite is brought in to t... Show More
