This study presents a model of the hydrogen atom for the orbital angular momentum l = 1 and l = 3 using the causal interpretation also referred to as the Bohm-de Broglie interpretation of quantum mechanics. The causal interpretation is an alternative interpretation of quantum mechanics that gives...

This dissertation develops a first-order multivariate Poisson integer-valued autoregressive (MPINAR(1)) model to improve disease outbreak detection in public health surveillance systems. The MPINAR(1) model is proposed as a computationally tractable alternative to the general multivariate...

This dissertation develops a negative binomial integer-valued generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic model of order p, q (negative binomial INGARCH(p, q)) for overdispersed count time series data with potential extreme values. The model is formulated such that its conditional...

A cadmium selenide quantum dot (CdSe-QDs) based genosensor for the detection of the CP4 epsps DNA segment of 5-Enolpyruvylshikimate-3-Phosphate Synthase (CP4 EPSPS) in Genetically Modified Cereal was developed. The efficacy of the CdSe-QDs synthesized from cadmium chloride (CdCl2) and selenium...

Cherax quadricarinatus is an Alien Invasive Species (AIS) native to Australia and Papua New Guinea, which has been introduced into Lake Kariba and the Kafue Floodplain and has since established its populations. Continued population growth and spread of C. quadricarinatus threatens the integrity...

Renewable energy often referred to as clean energy, is an important energy source that comes from natural sources or processes that are constantly replenished such as solar, wind, geothermal and hydro-based energy. Zambia’s installed energy capacity stands at 2,800 Megawatts (MW) of which 85...

This study aims to obtain a lower bound on the eigenvalue of the smallest modulus in a general weighted regular Sturm-Liouville problem with mixed boundary conditions. The problem is expressed as -u′′(x) + q(x)u(x) = λr(x)u(x) over the interval [a,b] with u′(a) = u(b) = 0. In 1988 Mingarelli [31]...

Effective agricultural monitoring is essential for ensuring food security and efficient resource management. This study aimed to use Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) from Sentinel 1 and Optical imagery from Sentinel 2 multi spectral instrument (MSI) for mapping and monitoring Maize fields in the...

The optical investigation of tungsten diphosphide (WP2), a type-II Weyl semimetal, reveals its exceptional topological and anisotropic electronic properties. Through resistivity and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy measurements, WP2 exhibit high conductivity and anisotropic transport...

Climate change is altering hydrological patterns, leading to extreme weather events such as prolonged droughts, intense floods, and shifts in precipitation patterns threatening water supply systems in the Barotse Floodplain. This has adversely affected the rural communities in the Barotse...
