A Mathematical Model for the Transmission Dynamics of Malaria in Eastern Uganda: A case Study of Butaleja District

Abstract A deterministic mathematical model for studying the transmission dynamics of malaria in Butaleja district was developed using ordinary differential equations (ODEs) where hinnans and mosquitoes interact and infect each other. fhe model has live non - linear differential equa tions with two state variables for mosquitoes (S,~anc I,, ) and three state variables for humans (S~ I~ and A,~) The available literature on previous work in this area was reviewed. Susceptible humans (S, ) are i...

However, there are many challenges that hinder efficient implementation ofICT including: lack ofICT laboratories, electricity, and teachers’ skills. This study explored how these challenges affect its implementation. Out of 10 public and private secondary schools in ...

In-vivo Anti-inflammatory Activity Studies of Some P-nitrophenyl Hydrazones

The goal of this research was the discovery of newer anti-inflammatory drug. Four hydrazones with p-nitrophenyl moiety were synthesized by solvent-free and conventional synthetic methods with good to excellent yields. The synthesized hydrazones were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activities using carrageenan-induced paw edema in mice. All the compounds indicated significant anti-inflammatory activity, demonstrating slow onset of action and longer duration of action compared to celecoxi...

Phytochemical and Antimicrobial Studies of Xylopia Aethiopica Stembark Extracts

The preliminary screening of phytochemical constituents of extracts of Xylopia aethiopica was evaluated. The n-hexane extract revealedthe presence of terpenoids, alkaloids, and steroids, while the presence of alkaloids, terpenoids, saponins, steroids, and phenolics was indicated in ethyl acetate extract, and the methanol extract contained tannins, flavonoids, phenolics, terpenoids, saponins, alkaloids, steroids. The medicinal property of the extracts was investigated using in-vitro antimicrob...

Structure-based Discovery of Multi-target Directed Anti-infammatoryp-nitrophenyl Hydrazones; Molecular docking, drug-likeness, in-silicopharmacokinetics, and toxicity studies

We designed novel p-nitrophenyl hydrazones as multi-target inhibitors of COX-2, 5-LOX, and H+/K+ ATPase in a bid to overcome side effects associated to NSAIDs and coxibs. Specifically, compounds 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-[(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)methylidene] hydrazine (3), 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-6-[(2-(4-nitrophenyl)hydraz-1-ylidene)methyl]thiochroman-1,1-dioxide (6), 4-methoxy-2-methyl-6-[(2-(4-nitrophenyl)hydraz-1-ylidene)methyl]thiochroman-1,1-dioxide (8), 2-methyl-6-[(2-(4-nitrophenyl)hydraz-1-ylid...

Hostel Allocation Management System. A Case Study of Kampala International University Western Campus

Abstract Hostel allocation management system is software developed to manage the various activities in hostel. The particular project deals with the problems on managing the hostel and avoids the problem that occurs when carried out manually (using pens and papers). Identification of the clrmvbacks of the existing system leads to the designing of computerized system that will be compatible to the existing system with the system that is more users friendly and more GUI oriented. This project w...

Population Growth and Youth Unemployment in Somalia (1991-2017)

ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of population growth on youth unemployment in Somalia from 1991 to 2016. The specific objectives of the study was to examine the long-run relationship, causation, and effect of population growth on youth unemployment rate. The study used crosssectional and longitudinal research design for the data obtained from World Bank where stationarity test was conducted using ADF tests prior to estimation. Unemployment,Gdp growth, populatio...

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF BIO SECURITY SYSTEM (A CASE STUDY OF FIRST BANK PLC OWERRI)

ABSTRACT Biometric recognition is the use of individual biometric characteristics, such as fingerprint, face, and signature for automatically computerized recognition systems. Fingerprints are the most widely used form of biometric recognition system successfully. However, fingerprint images are rarely of perfect quality. They may be degraded and corrupted due to variations in skin and impression conditions. Thus, image enhancement techniques are employed prior to minutiae extraction to obta...
