  • Computational prediction of host-pathogen protein-protein interactions 

    Ahmed, Ibrahim H.I. (University of the Western Cape, 2017)
    Supervised machine learning approaches have been applied successfully to the prediction of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) within a single organism, i.e., intra-species predictions. However, because of the absence of ...

  • Mathematical modeling of TB disease dynamics in a crowded population. 

    Maku Vyambwera, Sibaliwe (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 

    van Schalkwyk, Jen´e (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 models for optimal management of bank capital, reserves and liquidity 

    van Schalkwyk, Garth (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 ...

  • The paradox of enrichment in predator-prey systems 

    Sogoni, Msimelelo (University of Western Cape, 2020)
    In principle, an enrichment of resources in predator-prey systems show prompts destabilisation of a framework, accordingly, falling trophic communication, a phenomenon known to as the \Paradox of Enrichment" [54]. After ...
