Frequency is one of the most important measures of the state of a power system, especially for structurally weak and rapidly growing power systems. Thus, frequency monitoring is a desirable practice to ensure reliability and provide data for analysis. This paper reports the joint work between Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) to study frequency dynamics...
An actuarial life-table approach was used to study the mortality of 277 calves born alive in 16 traditionally managed herds in Bauchi, Nigeria from 1993 to 1995. The proportion of calves in the herds surviving for the first 12 months was 53.8%. The probability of dying was greatest during the first month of life and decreased with age. The proportion of calves surviving in the herds has been increasing...
