A Quantifiable Risk Factor for ACL Injury: Applied Mathematics to Model the Posterolateral Tibial Plateau Surface Geometry [PDF]
Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2021 Background: The mechanism for traumatic ruptures of the native anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is frequently a noncontact injury involving a valgus moment with internal rotation of the tibia. The abnormal rotation and translation of the lateral femoral condyle posteroinferiorly relative to the lateral tibial plateau is thought to be related to the ...

Mathematical model of the spread of COVID-19 in Plateau State, Nigeria [PDF]
Journal of the Egyptian Mathematical Society, 2022 AbstractIn this research, a mathematical model consisting of non-pharmaceutical control measures is formulated. The developed model helps to examine the transmission of COVID-19 infection in Plateau State, Nigeria, using face masks$$c_{f}$$cfand social distancing$$c_{d}$$cdas control measures.

Bearing/Distance Problems in Mathematics: Teachers’ Construction Efficacy in the Secondary School in Plateau State, Nigeria [PDF]
European Journal of Mathematics and Science Education, 2021 <p style="text-align:justify">In Nigeria, most teachers among other things lack the necessary teaching skills, and mastery of subject matter for effective teaching of mathematics at the secondary school level. These deficiencies have often resulted in high and repeated failure rates in national and standard mathematics examinations.

International Journal of Advances in Scientific Research and Engineering, 2021 The possibility of finding petroleum hydrocarbons in sedimentation (sedimentary rock) or magmatic-hydrothermal (igneous origin) is a matter of probability. A mathematical modeling approach is employed to appraise petroleum hydrocarbons using certain elements, minerals, and rocks whether it is biogenic or abiogenic.

Effect of dietary adherence on the body weight plateau: a mathematical model incorporating intermittent compliance with energy intake prescription , , [PDF]
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2014 Clinical weight loss in individuals typically stabilizes at 6 mo. However, validated models of dynamic energy balance have consistently shown weight plateaus between 1 and 2 y. The cause for this discrepancy is unclear.We developed 2 mathematical models on the basis of the first law of thermodynamics to investigate plausible explanations for reaching ...

Cross-currents between biology and mathematics: The codimension of pseudo-plateau bursting
Discrete & Continuous Dynamical Systems - A, 2012 A great deal of work has gone into classifying bursting oscillations, periodic alternations of spiking and quiescence modeled by fast-slow systems. In such systems, one or more slow variables carry the fast variables through a sequence of bifurcations that mediate transitions between oscillations and steady states. A rigorous classification approach is
