Electricity consumption, trade openness and economic growth in developing countries: a disaggregated approach

Abstract: This study examines the relationship between electricity consumption, trade openness and economic growth in 25 African countries during 1980–2016. It disaggregates electricity into renewable and no...

Farming awareness based optimum interventions for crop pest control

Abstract: We develop a mathematical model, based on a system of ordinary differential equations, to the upshot of farming alertness in crop pest administration, bearing in mind plant biomass, pest, and level of control. Main qualitative analysis of the proposed mathematical model, akin to both pest-free and coexistence equilibrium points and stability analysis, is investigated. We show that all solutions of the model are positive and bounded with initial conditions in a certain significant set. The local stability of pest-free and coexistence equilibria is shown using the Routh-Hurwitz criterion. Moreover, we prove that when a threshold value is less than one, then the pest-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable. To get optimum interventions for crop pests, that is, to decrease the number of pests in the crop field, we apply optimal control theory and find the corresponding optimal controls. We establish existence of optimal controls and characterize them using Pontryagin's minimum principle. Finally, we make use of numerical simulations to illustrate the theoretical analysis of the proposed model, with and without control measures.

A Review on Synthesis of Quinoline Analogs as Antimalarial, Antibacterial and Anticancer agents

Abstract: Numerous natural products possessing quinoline moiety exhibit interesting biological and pharmacological properties, such as antimalarial, antibacterial, antiasthmatic, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, antileishmanial, and anticancer activity. Surprising, quinoline scaffold has been used to synthesize antimalarial, antibacterial and anticancer drugs. This article provides update on the latest development in synthesis and biological evaluation of antimalarial, antibacterial and anticancer quinoline analogs. The new synthetic methodologies and the biological activities of the new quinoline analogs in the three areas were focused. Key words: antimalarial, antibacterial, anticancer and quinoline
