River discharge data offer a rich source of information for reservoir management and flood control, if modelling can separate out the effects of rainfall, land use, soil type, relief, and weather conditions. In this paper, we model river discharge…

Even though laboratory and epidemiological studies have demonstrated the effects of ambient temperature on the transmission and survival of coronaviruses, not much has been done on the effects of weather on the spread of COVID-19. This study…

Malaria is considered endemic in over hundred countries across the globe. Many cases of malaria and deaths due to malaria occur in Sub‐Saharan Africa. The disease is of great public health concern since it affects people of all age groups more…

Discrete count time series data with an excessive number of zeros have warranted the development of zero‐inflated time series models to incorporate the inflation of zeros and the overdispersion that comes with it. In this paper, we investigated the…

Investigations were conducted employing a three-component constrained mixture design to formulate milk blends from soy milk, peanut milk and cow milk. Variations in chemical composition and physico-chemical properties of 10-soy-peanut-cow milk (SPCM)…

The study examined the factors that have a higher potential for tax default among Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) such as high tax rates on SMEs with their relatively low income levels, complex tax filing procedures, lack of proper tax…

Objective
Identifying hot spots for the overweight aids in effective public health interventions due to the associated public health burden and morbidities. This study, therefore aimed to explore and determine the spatial disparities in the…

In an attempt to investigate the changes leading to the rapid post-harvest hardening of the white cultivars of Dioscorea dumetorum tubers, alterations in the plant cell wall constituents and mechanical properties of the tubers were monitored. A 4 × 2…

Response surface methodology and central composite design for K=3 was used to study the combined effect of blanching time (0–12 min), soaking time (0–24 h) and sodium hexametaphosphate [(NaPO3)6] salt concentration (0–1%) on moisture, ash, leached…
