The application of marketing practices for competetiveness in public further education and training colleges in Gauteng
(North-West University (South Africa), 2012)It is the desire of every government to widen participation in education. Widening participation refers to increasing access to learning opportunities for success to a wider cross section of the population than presently ... -
Application of Mass Spectrometry as Rapid Detection Tool in Plant Nematology
(Taylor and Francis INC, 2014)Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are serious pests causing important crop losses worldwide. Accurate identification of PPNs is essential to plant pathogen diagnostics and, thus, plant disease management. Classification of ... -
Application of Mass Spectronometry as Rapid Detection Tool in Plant Nematology
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2014)Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are serious pests causing important crop losses worldwide. Accurate identification of PPNs is essential to plant pathogen diagnostics and, thus, plant disease management. Classification of ... -
Application of membrane technology in a base metal refinery
(SAIMM, 2013)Nanofiltration (NF) has attracted much attention over the past few years due to the reduced energy consumption compared to reverse osmosis (RO) and better separation performance compared to ultrafiltration (UF). Although ... -
Application of metabolomics to identify functional metabolic changes associated with Haliotis midae growth
(North-West University, 2018)The South African abalone, "perlemoen" (as it is called locally) industry is largely based on farming with Haliotis midae, which has been commercially cultured in man-made shore-based systems with great success for the ... -
The application of metabolomics toward pulmonary tuberculosis research
(Elsevier, 2019)In the quest to identify novel biomarkers for pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), high-throughput systems biology approaches such as metabolomics has become increasingly widespread. Such biomarkers have not only successfully been ... -
Application of Mhaskar-Prestin operators to the convergence of orthonormal expansions
(Wiley, 2010)Let I be either R or (−1, 1),andletW : I → (0, ∞). Assume that W 2 is a weight. We study the quasi-interpolatory polynomial operators τ l,n,m introduced by Mhaskar and Prestin, for Freud weights, Erd˝os weights, and ... -
The application of modern technology in power quality management
(IEEE, 2009)Little business integration of power quality management (PQM) is forthcoming amongst electrical utilities all over Southern Africa. Restricted access to proper information is the main reason. A integration of tools, ... -
Application of molecular markers in breeding rust resistant South African dry bean cultivars
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a widely cultivated legume crop and also an important component in the human diet as it is a great source of protein. It has a wide phenotypic variability especially for traits such ... -
Application of Monte Carlo analysis in the simulation of thermal-fluid network
(North-West University, 2003)Large thermal-fluid network simulations are usually conducted for fixed input steady-state conditions without accounting for statistical variations of these variables. This is not realistic and gives no indication of ... -
Application of multivariate statistics and toxicity indices to evaluate the water quality suitability for fish of three rivers in the Kruger National Park, South Africa
(NISC, 2015)The water quality of the Olifants, Letaba and Luvuvhu rivers within the Kruger National Park was assessed for their suitability to sustain fish populations. Since water quality assessments result in huge datasets, principal ... -
Application of nanocoatings produced by electrostatic layer-by-layer self-assembling to improve the physicochemical properties of drugs and excipients
(2014)Layer-by-layer (LbL) is a self-assembly technique, proven to be a simplified method for the modification of material surfaces. The LbL multilayers are formed due to electrostatic attraction between opposite charged polymers. ... -
Application of nanoparticles in biofuels: an overview
(Elsevier, 2019)Biofuels are fast advancing as alternative sources of renewable energy due to their non-polluting features and cost-competitiveness in comparison to fossil fuels. However, in order to fast-track their development, focus ... -
The application of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy in the nutritional assessment of tree leaves as potential protein supplements for ruminants
(2015)This study was executed to calibrate and validate near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) for use in predicting chemical composition, buffer nitrogen (N) solubility, in vitro ruminal dry matter (DM) and nitrogen (N) ... -

Application of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy to the nutritional assessment of tree leaves as potential protein supplements for ruminants
(Trop. Agric. (Trinidad), 2017)The utility of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) as a rapid nutritional evaluation tool is not yet fully defined for a number of non-conventional feedstuffs, which are considered to be of low economic value. ... -
The application of new generation batteries in old tactical radios
(North-West University, 2007)The power requirement for the soldier's equipment is largely supplied by batteries. Situational awareness is critical for a soldier to perform his tasks. Therefore the radio used by the soldier is a key element in ... -
Application of new isonicotinamides as a corrosion inhibitor on mild steel in acidic medium: Electrochemical, SEM, EDX, AFM and DFT investigations
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2015)Corrosion inhibition effect of 2-(2-(2-phenyl)-3-(isonicotinamido)-4-oxothiazolidin-5-yl) acetic acid (PITA) and N-(2-phenyl-4-oxothiazolidin-3-yl)-isonicotinamide (POTI) on mild steel corrosion in 15% HCl solution was ... -
Application of novel Anion-Exchange Blend Membranes (AEBMs) to vanadium redox flow batteries
(MDPI, 2018)Both cation-exchange membranes and anion-exchange membranes are used as ion conducting membranes in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs). Anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) are applied in vanadium redox flow batteries due ...
