Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of an Intelligent Electronic Prescription Ontology Using Open Source Tools: A Botswana Case StudyTshiamo Sigwele, Eunice Okon, Tshepiso Mokgetse, Onkemetse TshenyegoHealthcare interoperability in Botswana is hindered by fragmented information exchange across public and private providers, resulting in prescription conflicts, duplicated treatment, and delayed care. In prior work, we developed the Intelligent Electronic Prescription Ontology (IEPO), an open-source OWL 2 ontology for semantically standardized prescription data exchange. Although IEPO was previously validated using competency question-driven metrics (recall, precision, and F1-score), those … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 10 · 29 Sep 2026 · 500 accessesView PDFCite

It also analyses … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 1 · 24 Aug 2026 · 1,111 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTransfer Function-Noise Modeling of the Dynamic Relationship between Botswana's Monthly Maximum Temperature and EvaporationOliver Moses, Edward Lungu, Bhagabat Prasad ParidaIn Botswana, the rate of evaporation over open water surfaces is high because the country is characterised by hot and semi arid climatic conditions. The purpose of the study is to investigate the correlation between Botswana's monthly maximum temperature and evaporation and between monthly maximum wind speed and evaporation, for the stations Gaborone, Francistown and Maun and to fit transfer … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 20 Mar 2017 · 7,604 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStatistical Modelling of Botswana’s Monthly Maximum Wind Speed using a Four-Parameter Kappa DistributionOliver Moses, Bhagabat Prasad ParidaWind speed modelling has been key to many environmental and engineering applications, particularly in environmentally friendly wind power generation to meet energy demands. Efficient assessment of wind speed at different recurrence intervals requires the choice of a suitable statistical distribution and an unbiased method of parameter estimation. This study suggests the use of a four parameter Kappa distribution, with its … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 6 · 22 Jun 2016 · 7,546 accessesView PDFCite
