(2012-08-29)
The extent of elephant damage on shrub and mature Baikiaea plurijuga was investigated around artificial and natural watering points in the Main Camp area of Hwange National Park. Damage was scored on a percentage basis for ...
Some apsects of products of totally permutable groups.
(2012-09-03)
In this work groups factorised as products of pairwise totally permutable subgroups are investigated in the framework of SC-groups, P ST -groups, PT -groups and T -groups. In particular an attempt is made to answer the ...
Maize Yield Forcasting in Malawi Using Satellite Data and a Soil Water Balance Modelling Aproach.
(2012-09-07)
The potential of using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the AgroMetShell (AMS) to forecast and estimate maize yield at Rural Development Project (RDP) level in Malawi was investigated. NDVI is derived from ...
To find cost effective routes that are able to meet the fuel/time constraints using the Intelligent Transportation Systems in VANETS
(2012-08-29)
The use of real-time information in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in particular Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) has the potential to improve traffic conditions and reduce travel delays by facilitating better ...
Challenges for TFRC as a Real-Time Protocol Over Multihop Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
(2012-08-29)
Multihop wireless networks are emerging as a natural extension of the global Internet for scenarios where wired connections are unfeasible, impossible, or undesired. In these networks,nodes cooperate among themselves by ...

On a Stochastic Control Problem with Terminal State Constraints
(2012-08-31)
In this thesis, we consider a stochastic control problem in both finite and infinite time interval, with a terminal state constraint. We consider two approaches in solving the problem i.e., the Maximum Principle and the ...
