Does phylogeny have an influence on the date of first description? A comparative study of the world's fishes
(Elsevier, 2020)The process of species description is not random, and understanding the factors that in- fluence when a species is first described (the date of first description, DoFD) allows us to target environments and/or species' ... -
A model of malaria population dynamics with migrants
(Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2021-08)We present a compartmental model in ordinary differential equations of malaria disease transmission, accommodating the effect of indoor residual spraying on the vector population. The model allows for influx of infected ... -
Prediction of human-Bacillus anthracis protein–protein interactions using multi-layer neural network
(Oxford University Press, 2018)Triplet amino acids have successfully been included in feature selection to predict human-HPV protein-protein interactions (PPI). The utility of supervised learning methods is curtailed due to experimental data not being ... -
Relative homotopy in relational structures
(Cambridge University Press, 2018)The homotopy groups of a finite partially ordered set (poset) can be described entirely in the context of posets, as shown in a paper by B. Larose and C. Tardif. In this paper we describe the relative version of such a ... -
A stochastic TB model for a crowded environment
(Hindawi, 2018)We propose a stochastic compartmental model for the population dynamics of tuberculosis. The model is applicable to crowded environments such as for people in high density camps or in prisons. We start off with a known ...
