Mathematical analysis of TB model with vaccination and saturated incidence rate
(Hindawi, 2020)The model system of ordinary differential equations considers two classes of latently infected individuals, with different risk of becoming infectious. The system has positive solutions. By constructing a Lyapunov function, ... -
Mathematical modeling and impact analysis of the use of COVID alert SA app
(AIMS Press, 2022)The human life-threatening novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona-virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has lasted for over a year escalating and posing simultaneous anxiety day-by-day globally since its first report in the late ... -
Mathematical study of transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 with waning immunity
(AIMS Press, 2022)The aim of this work is to provide a new mathematical model that studies transmission dynamics of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The model ... -
Maths4Stats: Opleiding vir onderwysers
(AOSIS, 2013)Maths4Stats: Educating teachers. The inadequate nature of the education infrastructure in South Africa has led to poor academic performance at public schools. Problems within schools such as under-qualified teachers and ... -
Matrimony relations and business in a fishing migrant community (periphery of Pointe-Noire, Congo-Brazzaville)
(l'Association des amis de la Revue de Géographie de Lyon, 2013)This paper examines the entrepreneurial activities of female migrants in the informal artisanal fishing sector along the coastal line of Congo-Brazzaville. It shows the extent to which these women have achieved an insertion ... -
Matter bispectrum in cubic Galileon cosmologies
(IOP Science, 2013)In this paper we obtain the bispectrum of dark matter density perturbations in the frame of covariant cubic Galileon theories. This result is obtained by means of a semi- analytic approach to second-order perturbations ... -
Maximum sprite streamer luminosity near the stratopause
(AGU Advances, 2019)Sprites are composed of numerous streamers which exhibit transient luminosities in the upper middle atmosphere above thunderclouds after initiation by an intense positive lightning discharge, often followed by lightning ... -
Measurement and analysis of nuclear γ-ray production cross sections in proton interactions with Mg, Si, and Fe nuclei abundant in astrophysical sites over the incident energy range E = 30–66 MeV
(American Physical Society, 2020)The modeling of nuclear γ -ray line emission induced by highly accelerated particles in astrophysical sites (e.g., solar flares, the gas and dust in the inner galaxy) and the comparison with observed emissions from these ... -
Measurement of the evolving galaxy luminosity and mass function using clustering-based redshift inference
(Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023)We develop a framework for using clustering-based redshift inference (cluster-z ) to measure the evolving galaxy luminosity function (GLF) and galaxy stellar mass function (GSMF) using Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer ... -
Measurements of one-point statistics in 21-cm intensity maps via foreground avoidance strategy
(Oxford University Press, 2022)Measurements of the one-point probability distribution function and higher-order moments (variance, skewness, and kurtosis) of the high-redshift 21-cm fluctuations are among the most directstatistical probes of the ... -
Measurements of the angular momentum–mass relations in the Simba simulation
(New Astronomy, 2023)We present measurements of the specific angular momentum content (𝑗) of galaxies drawn from the Simba cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. These relations are broadly consistent with a variety of empirical measurements. ... -
Measuring lensing ratios with future cosmological surveys
(American Physical Society, 2020)The ratio between the CMB lensing/galaxy counts and the galaxy shear/galaxy counts cross-correlations combines the information from different cosmological probes to infer cosmographic measurements that are less dependent ... -
Measuring redshift-space distortion with future SKA surveys
(Proceedings of Science, 2014)The peculiar motion of galaxies can be a particularly sensitive probe of gravitational collapse. As such, it can be used to measure the dynamics of dark matter and dark energy as well the nature of the gravitational laws ... -
Measuring Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguinis and Candida albicans biofilm formation using a real-time impedance-based system
(Elsevier, 2019-12-20)Candida albicans and streptococci are amongst the most common fungal and bacterial organisms present in the oral cavity, with a growing body of evidence implicating C. albicans in increased caries severity and in ... -
Measuring the H I mass function below the detection threshold
(Oxford University Press, 2019-10-30)We present a Bayesian stacking technique to directly measure the H I mass function (HIMF) and its evolution with redshift using galaxies formally below the nominal detection threshold. We generate galaxy samples over ... -
Measuring the HI mass function below the detection threshold
(Royal Astronomical Society, 2020)We present a Bayesian stacking technique to directly measure the H I mass function (HIMF) and its evolution with redshift using galaxies formally below the nominal detection threshold. We generate galaxy samples over several ... -
Meat trade: need for international standardization?
(Elsevier, 2013)Extensive substitution and undeclared species have been recently detected in meat products in South Africa, Europe and Asia. Here we review the methodologies utilized in the identification of species in red meat products ... -
Mechanisms of interference and exploitation competition in a guild of encrusting algae along a South African rocky shore
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)Within the marine benthos, space is considered an absolute requirement that is often in limited supply. The often-low availability of this essential resource causes species to interact competitively through mechanisms of ... -
