ALT 401: AFRICAN LITERATURE
African literature refers to literature of and from Africa. As George Joseph notes on the first page of his chapter on Africa literature in Understanding Contemporary Africa, while the European perception of literature generally refers to written letter, the African concept includes oral literature.

AMS 308 Lecture 3: EXPERIMENTS WITH A SINGLE FACTOR Trending!
In such a single factor experiment with a completely randomized design, the levels of the factor are randomly assigned to the experimental units in some cases, randomly selecting experimental units from each level of the factor.

AMS 308 Lecture 4: THE RANDOMIZED COMPLETE BLOCK DESIGN Trending!
In any experiment, variability arising from a nuisance factor can affect the results. Generally, we define a nuisance factor as a design factor that probably has an effect on the response, but we are not interested in that effect.

AMS 308 Lecture 5: THE LATIN SQUARE DESIGN Trending!
Suppose that an experimenter is studying the effects of five different formulations of a rocket propellant used in aircrew escape systems on the observed burning rate. Each formulation is mixed from a batch of raw material that is only large enough for five formulations to be tested.

AMS 309 Lecture 2: Discrete Branching Process Trending!
Suppose that one particle can produce a random number of k new particles. Each of the new particles produces another random number of new particles. We assume that the particles act independently of each other and that every particle has a probability pk of producing k new particles (for k = 0, 1, 2, , . . ).

AMS 309 Lecture 3: Markov Chains Trending!
We consider a special case where the outcome of any trial depends on the outcome of the directly preceding trial, and only on it. A stochastic process with this property is referred to as a Markov Chain (or a Markov process).

AMS 309 Lecture 4: Absorbing Markov Chains and Random Walk ModelS Trending!
An absorbing Markov Chain contains only absorbing and transient states. If the number of states is finite, a Markov process starting from any transient state will eventually end in one of the absorbing states. Suppose that there are s absorbing states and t transient states so that the transition matrix P is order (s + t).

AMS 309 Lecture 5: Birth and Death Processes Trending!
In this Chapter, we develop probability models for some special cases of birth-and –death process involving the population size within a given system at time t. The probability generating function can be used to analyze the process in the case where the actual probability distribution cannot be obtained. We also obtain deterministic models corresponding to the given probability models.

COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Computer system has three components namely: Hardware, software and liveware (computer user). A system is a collection of different entities that collectively work together to achieve a desired goal. Examples of systems are human body, social system, school system etc. A computer system is a collection of three components namely hardware, software and liveware entities that work together to receive, process, manage and present information in a meaningful format using computers

EEN 110: CONCEPTS IN ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Trending!
The term environment comes from a French word ‘environmer’ meaning the surrounding. It is perceived as that part of the world with which humans interact, a sum of the total natural and socio components which are or may be in direct interaction with humans. The environment is also seen as a social construct made up of four dimensions; the biophysical, social, economic and political dimensions. The environment with its dimensions form a system whose dimensions interact affect and is affected by other dimensions. When any of the dimensions is affected negatively or positively the entire environment is affected. Environment is a system made up of components that interact with each other, the environment is complex system affecting the development of humanity, and it provides resources for economic growth and for ecological and social wellbeing.
