ABSTRACT We obtain new exact solutions to the Einstein field equations for anisotropic neutral stellar objects. In our dissertation, we are considering a quadratic equation of state and a choice of measure of anisotropy and metric function adopted from Sunzu’s work. We transform the Einstein field equations for neutral anisotropic matter by adopting the Durgapal and Bannerji’s new variables. We generate the exact solution and hence obtain the gravitational potentials and matter variables...

ABSTRACT A number of phenomena in modern science can be conveniently described in terms of problems for parabolic equations with Bessel operator and nonlocal conditions. The purpose of this study is to give a survey of classical and nonclassical problems for parabolic differential equations with Bessel operator, give introduction to several different research approaches and show how the choice of a method depends on the nature of the problem. Another aim is to study the solution to the proble...
ABSTRACT Multiple choice examinations are commonly used to assess student learning. However, instructors often find it challenging to write good items that ask students to do more than memorize facts and details. Multiple choice test items are generally more complex and time-consuming to create than other types of tests. It requires a certain amount of skill. However, this skill may be increases through study, practice and experience. This dissertation discusses a number of issues related to...
ABSTRACT This study aimed at investigating the contribution of teaching aids (counting objects) in numeracy skills performance for standard two pupils. The main objective of this study was to introduce an effective intervention for enhancing pupils‟ achievement levels in numeracy. The study revealed that there is a low numeracy skill which is caused by many reasons such as unsuitable teaching and learning environment, few teaching methods, negative attitude of pupils and parents towards nu...

ABSTRACT We find new exact solutions to Einstein-Maxwell field equation for neutral anisotropy stellar stars with Van der Waals equation of state. We adopted Sunzu, Maharaj and Ray‘s metric function and measure of anisotropy. The solutions are obtained after considering the transformed Einstein-Maxwell field equations for neutral anisotropic matter. In our models, we regain previous anisotropic and isotropic results as a special case. We consider the space-time geometry to be static spheric...
Abstract In this dissertation, we generate solutions to Einstein-Maxwell field equations devoted to neutral anisotropic stellar objects using linear equation of state. The field equations are transformed by adopting Bannerji and Durgapal transformation. We generated the solutions to Einstein field equations and obtain matter variables and gravitational potentials by using the general differential equation governing the model. In our model, isotropic results are regained as a special case. Th...
ABSTRACT In this study we find the conditions of mass function for the formation and existence of naked singularity of the metric given in generalized Vaidya spacetime. We study and clarify how naked singularity is brought about interms of the apparent and event horizon. We analyse the components of the metric as given in the Vaidya spacetime equation. We consider the collapsing model in which the imploding radiation collapses at the center of symmetry in the universe through which we derive...

Abstract This paper concentrates on the mathematical model for optimal control and cost-effectiveness analysis of tomato yellow leaf curl virus disease. The boundedness of the model has been analytically examined. The preferable optimal level of the intervention strategy to reduce the spreads and the cost of implementing control strategies were determined by introducing the time-dependent control. Pontryagin’s maximum principle was used to determine necessary conditions for the optimal cont...
