Mathematical modeling and analysis of HIV/AIDS control measures
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)In this thesis, we investigate the HIV/AIDS epidemic in a population which experiences a significant flow of immigrants. We derive and analyse a math- ematical model that describes the dynamics of HIV infection among the ... -
Mathematical modeling in the sustainable use of natural resources.
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)The sustainable use of natural resources is of utmost importance for every community. In particular, it is important for every given generation to plan in such a way that proper provision is made for future generations. ... -
Mathematical modeling of an epidemic under vaccination in two interacting populations
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)In this dissertation we present the quantitative response of an epidemic of the so-called SIR-type, in a population consisting of a local component and a migrant component. Each component can be divided into three classes, ... -
A mathematical modeling of optimal vaccination strategies in epidemiology
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)We review a number of compartmental models in epidemiology which leads to a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations. We focus an SIR, SEIR and SIS epidemic models with and without vaccination. A threshold ... -

(2010)We review a number of compartmental models in epidemiology which leads to a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations. We focus an SIR, SEIR and SIS epidemic models with and without vaccination. A threshold ... -
Mathematical modeling of population dynamics of HIV with antiretroviral treatment and herbal medicine
(University of Western Cape, 2014)Herbal medicines have been an important part of health and wellness for hundreds of years. Recently the World Health Organization estimated that 80% of people worldwide rely on herbal medicines. Herbs contain many ... -
Mathematical modeling of TB disease dynamics in a crowded population.
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection which is a major cause of death worldwide. TB is a curable disease, however the bacterium can become resistant to the first line treatment against the disease. This leads to a disease ... -
Mathematical modeling of the population dynamics and optimal control of COVID-19 disease
(2024)Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers speculated that this virus would create numerous challenges in the daily lives of individuals, especially medical and governmental authorities as they are put under ... -
Mathematical modeling of the population dynamics of tuberculosis
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)Tuberculosis (TB) is currently one of the major public health challenges in South Africa, and in many countries. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. It is known that tuberculosis ... -
Mathematical modeling of the transmission dynamics of malaria in South Sudan
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)Malaria is a common infection in tropical areas, transmitted between humans through female anopheles mosquito bites as it seeks blood meal to carry out egg production. The infection forms a direct threat to the lives of ... -
Mathematical modeling of tuberculosis epidemiology in Ethiopia
(University of the Western Cape, 2024)Tuberculosis (TB) is currently one of the most severe public health issues in Ethiopia and many other countries. Despite demanding efforts having been made by governmental and nongovernmental organizations to eliminate ... -
Mathematical modelling of HIV/AIDS with recruitment of infecteds
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)The influx of infecteds into a population plays a critical role in HIV transmission. These infecteds are known to migrate from one region to another, thereby having some interaction with a host population. This interactive ... -
Mathematical modelling of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the effect of public health education
(University of Western Cape, 2014)HIV/AIDS is nowadays considered as the greatest public health disaster of modern time. Its progression has challenged the global population for decades. Through mathematical modelling, researchers have studied different ... -
Mathematical modelling with simultaneous equations – An analysis of Grade 10 learners’ modelling competencies
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)Mathematical modelling is gaining extensive interest across the schooling sector worldwide, as it is deemed to develop learners with competencies set to deal with the demands of the fourth industrial revolution and being ... -
Mathematical models for optimal management of bank capital, reserves and liquidity
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)The aim of this study is to construct and propose continuous-time mathematical models for optimal management of bank capital, reserves and liquidity. This aim emanates from the global financial crisis of 2007 − 2009. In ... -
Mathematical models of credit management and credit derivatives
(2010)The first two chapters give the background, history and overview of the dissertation, together with the necessary mathematical preliminaries. Thereafter, the next four chapters deal with credit risk and credit derivatives.The ... -
Matrix comparison of isolation conditions for secondary metabolite producing marine sponge associated bacteria
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)The discovery of novel secondary metabolites has declined significantly in recent years whereas there is a rise in the number of multi-drug resistant pathogens and other types of diseases. The decline in natural product ... -
Maturation of the permanent teeth in a Western Cape sample
(1974)The need for in-depth knowledge of dental emergence and calcification in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning cannot be disputed. Serial extractions, treatment timing, bite opening and closing, expansion and ... -
Maxillary Canine Ectopia and other Developmental Anomalies on Mixed Dentition Panoramic Radiographs at the Tygerberg Oral Health Centre
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)The aim of this study was to establish whether there is any association between developing maxillary canine ectopia and various other dental anomalies using panoramic radiographs in the mixed dentition stage of development. -
Maxillofacial fractures in children attending the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital
