    Abstract: Chemical combustion problems are known to be stiff and therefore difficult to efficiently integrate in time when numerically simulated. Implicit methods, such as backwards differentiation formula (BDF), are widely considered to be the state-of-the-art methods owing their capability of taking relatively large time-steps while maintaining accurate co...

    Abstract: Typhoid fever is a life-threatening infection caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi, and it is still an important issue in developing countries. There are two infection routes of Typhoid fever, namely, the human-to-human transmission and the environment-to-human transmission. It is evident that people living near rivers may have a higher rate of... Show More
