A Mathematical Study of Contaminant Transport with First-order Decay and Time-dependent Source Concentration in an Aquifer
(Universal Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2013-11-05) Olayiwola, R. O.; Jimoh, O. R.; Yusuf, A.; Abubakar, Samuel
A mathematical model describing the transport of a conservative contaminant through a homogeneous finite aquifer under transient flow is presented. We assume the aquifer is subjected to contamination due to the time-dependent source concentration. Both the sinusoidally varying and exponentially decreasing forms of seepage velocity are considered for the purposes of studying seasonal variation problems. We use the parameter-expanding method and seek direct eigenfunctions expansion technique to obtain analytical solution of the model. The results are presented graphically and discussed. It is discovered that the contaminant concentration decreases along temporal and spatial directions as initial dispersion coefficient increases and initial groundwater velocity decreases. This concentration decreases as time increases and differs at each point in the domain.
A NOTE ON COMBUSTIBLE FOREST MATERIAL (CFM) OF WILDLAND FIRE SPREAD

fire is presented. The equations describing the fractional components of forest fire were carefully studied. The reaction before a forest can burn or before fire can spread must involves fuel, heat and oxygen. The coupled dimensionless equations describing the phenomenon have been decoupled using perturbation method and solved analytically using eigen function expansion technique. The results obtained were graphically discussed and analysed. The study revealed that varying Radiation number and Peclet energy number enhances volume fractions of dry organic substance and moisture while they reduced volume fraction of coke.
Modelling the impacts of media campaign and double dose vaccination in controlling COVID-19 in Nigeria

Corona virus disease (COVID-19) is a lethal disease that poses public health challenge in both developed and developing countries of the world. Owing to the recent ongoing clinical use of COVID-19 vaccines and noncompliance to COVID-19 health protocols, this study presents a deterministic model with an optimal control problem for assessing the community-level impact of media campaign and double-dose vaccination on the transmission and control of COVID-19. Detailed analysis of the model shows that, using the Lyapunov function theory and the theory of centre manifold, the dynamics of the model is determined essentially by the control reproduction number (𝑅𝑚𝑣). Consequently, the model undergoes the phenomenon of forward bifurcation in the absence of the double dose vaccination effects, where the global disease-free equilibrium is obtained whenever 𝑅𝑚𝑣 ≤ 1. Numerical simulations of the model using data relevant to the transmission dynamics of the disease in Nigeria, show that, certain values of the basic reproduction number ((𝑅0 ≥ 7)) may not prevent the spread of the pandemic even if 100% media compliance is achieved. Nevertheless, with assumed 75% (at 𝑅0 = 4)) media efficacy of double dose vaccination, the community herd immunity to the disease can be attained. Furthermore, Pontryagin’s maximum principle was used for the analysis of the optimized model by which necessary conditions for optimal controls were obtained. In addition, the optimal simulation results reveal that, for situations where the cost of implementing the controls (media campaign and double dose vaccination) considered in this study is low, allocating resources to media campaign-only strategy is more effective than allocating them to a firstdose vaccination strategy. More so, as expected, the combined media campaign-double dose vaccination strategy yields a higher population-level impact than the media campaign-only strategy, double-dose vaccination strategy or media campaign-first dose vaccination strategy.
