“…The formulation was incorporated with available confirmed cases from January 22, 2020, to December 20, 2021, and parameterized using real-time series data that were collected on a daily basis for the first 705 days for fourteen countries, out of which the model was simulated using four selected countries: USA, Italy, South Africa, and Nigeria. A least square technique was adopted for the estimation of parameters. …”

“…Development and deployment of high-yielding maize varieties with native resistance to Fall armyworm (FAW), turcicum leaf blight (TLB), and gray leaf spot (GLS) infestation is critical for addressing the food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa. The objectives of this study were to determine the inheritance of resistance for FAW, identity hybrids which in addition to FAW resistance, also show resistance to TLB and GLS, and investigate the usefulness of models based on general combining ability (GCA) and SNP markers in predicting the performance of new untested hybrids. …”

In this manuscript, we examine the potential role played by cross-border movements on the number of detected cases in a developing country. …”

Although the use of family planning is beneficial in reducing anemia, lack of scientific study on anemia among family planning users of reproductive-age women is notable, particularly in the study setting. …”

“…RESULTS: Seventy-eight percent of virtual triage users were female, and 37% were 18–24 years old or younger, 28% were 25–44, 16% were 45–54, and 19% were 55 years or older; 41.2% completed the survey from the U.S., 12.5% from the U.K., 9.1% from Canada, 5.6% from India, 3.8% from South Africa. Motivations were to determine need to consult a physician (44.2%), to secure medical advice without visiting a physician (21.0%), and to confirm a diagnosis received (14.2%). …”
