Background & aim: The caesarean rate is on the rise in Cameroon; nonetheless, there is a paucity of data regarding its associated risk factors and outcomes.  This study aimed to determine the associated risk factors, as well as maternal and fetal outcomes of caesarean delivery in four hospitals in Cameroon. Methods:</str...

In this paper, we describe an ontologically well-founded agentbased discrete event simulation framework with a high-level rulebased simulation language and an abstract simulator architecture and execution model, which allows both basic discrete event simulations without agents and complex agent-based simulations with (possibly distorted) perceptions and (possibly false) beliefs. The framework i...

Just as the invention of photography challenged the world's visual literacy at the turn of the century, so has computer graphics begun to reshape visual communication. Although still in its infancy, recently developed tools for visual communication have made computer graphics and electronic imaging accessible to a much larger number of artists and other professionals. The use of these systems h...

begin{abstract} In this paper, we introduce an iterative method for amenable semigroup of non expansive mappings and infinite family of non expansive mappings in the frame work of Hilbert spaces. We prove the strong convergence of the proposed iterative algorithm to the unique solution of a variational inequality, which is the optimality condition for a minimization problem. The results present...

It is of interest in various contexts to nd approximate feasible points to problems that have equality, inequality and bound constraints. For example, in exhaustive search algorithms for global optimization , it is of interest to construct bounds around approximate feasible points, within which a true feasible point is proven to exist. In such exhaustive search algorithms, the approximate feasi...

Background & aim: Current evidence clearly shows that the mistreatment of women during labor and childbirth in health facilities is on the rise all over the world. This kind of disrespectful treatment deters women from seeking care. In spite of this, little attention has been devoted to this critical issue both in practice and research. With this background in mind, th...

This paper is concerned with a technique for solving Volterra integral equations in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space. In contrast with the conventional reproducing kernel method, the Gram-Schmidt process is omitted here and satisfactory results are obtained.The analytical solution is represented in the form of series.An iterative method is given to obtain the approximate solution.The conver...
