Multi-Temporal land use change detection analysis using landsat data: The case of Lilongwe City

Brino Kapatamoyo, Vincent Katonda, Steven Gondwe,

Land use land cover (LULC) studies have played a significant role in sustainable urban planning and development. In this study, Remote Sensing and GIS was used to detect and analyse LULC change for the years 1998, 2008 and 2018 in Lilongwe city. The maximum-likelihood algorithm was adopted for supervised classification Landsat TM...

Chikondi Malamba-Banda, Chisomo Kafamau, Tiyamike Nthandira, Austine Kumwenda, David T. Mzinza, Gama P. Bandawe, Wilson L. Mandala,

T cell responses are an important component of the human immune response to viral infections and specifically for viral clearance, establishing memory recall and inducing antibody responses. In SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals, lymphopenia and/or T-cell exhaustion somehow contributes towards the development of severe diseases. In contrast, long-live...

Short Communication

The limitation of the gravity inversion method based on the Parker-Oldenburg algorithm in determination of the basement topography

Chikondi Chisenga, Emmanuel Chinkaka,

This short communication discusses a 2013 publication by Oruç et al., (2013) who presented a structural interpretation map of the Erzurum Basin in eastern Turkey using curvature gradient tensor, and inferred the basement topography using gravity inversion method. In our comment, we show the limitation of the gravity data they used and the flawed ap...
