Ignition Time for a Porous Medium Model with Low Thermal Conductivity
(2003)The ignition time for a porous medium combustion arising from a porous medium combustion model is considered. The effect of the activation energy parameter as well as the parameter which measures the ratio of oxygen ... -
On Extended Type I Generalized Logistic Distribution
(2004)We consider a form of generalized logistic distribution which is called extended type I generalized logistic distribution. Some theorems that relate the distribution to some other statistical distributions are established. ... -
Thermal Instability in a Model Chain Branching - Chain Breaking Kinetics
(2005)Thermal instabilities such as thermal explosion and thermal ignition are examined in a two-step reactions mechanism, comprising of a chain-branching and a chain-breaking step. The aim of this study is to examine the influence ... -
A Note on the Unsteady Flow of Dusty Viscous Fluid between Two Parallel Plates
(2005)We study the isothermal flow of a dusty viscous incompressible conducting fluid between two types of boundary motions- oscillatory and non-oscillatory, under the influence of gravitational force. Within the frame work of ... -

Incorporating Crown Dimensions into Stem Height and Basal Area Growth Models for African White Wood (Triplochiton scleroxylon)
(2006)Four crown dimensions (crown diameter, crown projection area, crown length and crown ratio) were each, incorporated into nonlinear individual tree total height and basal area increment models for African white wood ... -
On the Boundedness and the Stability Results for the Solutions of Certain Third Order Non-Linear Differential Equations
(2006)In this paper, we show the asymptotic stability of the trivial solution x = 0 for p = 0 and the boundedness as well as the ultimate boundedness result for p ≠ 0 with the use of a single complete Lyapunov function. The ... -
