A combined GPS/RFID system for improved cross-border management of freight consignments
(IEEE, 2013)Inefficiency of road freight transport is one of the primary factors that hamper the economy of sub-Saharan Africa. Long delays experienced at border posts are the single biggest contributor towards the slow average movement ... -
The combined modulation of Jovian and Galactic electrons in the heliosphere
(PoS, 2017)The propagation and modulation of electrons in the heliosphere play a significant role in improving our understanding and assessment of the competing processes of solar modulation. An in-house developed, full three-dimensional ... -
Combined sinh-cosh-Gordon equation: symmetry reductions, exact solutions and conservation laws
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)In this paper we study the combined sinh-cosh-Gordon equation, which arises in mathematical physics and has a wide range of scientific applications that range from chemical reactions to water surface gravity waves. We ... -
Combined sinh-cosh-Gordon equation: symmetry reductions, exact solutions and conservation laws
(Taylor & Francis and NISC, 2014)In this paper we study the combined sinh-cosh-Gordon equation, which arises in mathematical physics and has a wide range of scientific applications that range from chemical reactions to water surface gravity waves. We ... -
Combined tarsal and carpal tunnel syndrome in mucolipidosis type III
(Wiley, 2009)Mucolipidosis type III (MLIII) (MIM# 252600) is an uncommon autosomal recessive disorder that results from uridine 5′-diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine: lysosomal hydrolase N-acetyl-1-phosphotransferase or UDP-GlcNAc ... -
A combined thermal energy storage system for domestic applications
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Four storage systems are tested and compared experimentally during charging and discharging cycles using three flow-rates ( 4 mls-1 , 8 mls- 1 and 12 mls- 1). The four storage systems are a packed bed latent heat storage ... -
A combined Tomatis and lifestyle enhancement programme for overweight female students
(North-West University, 2003)Worldwide, the prevalence of overweight and obesity is ascending. It is a leading public health problem and major economic burden, because of physical illnesses like congestive heart failure and psychological effects ... -
Combining chemical permeation enhancers for synergistic effects
(Springer, 2016)Currently, macromolecular drugs such as proteins are mainly administered by means of injections due to their low intestinal epithelial permeability and poor stability in the gastrointestinal tract. This study ... -
Combining chemical permeation enhancers to obtain synergistic effects
(2014)The oral route of administration remains the preferred route of administrating drugs due to patient acceptance and compliance. Therapeutic proteins are currently mainly administered by means of the parenteral route because ... -
Combining data sources to be used in quantitative operational risk models
(North-West University (South Africa), 2022)The management of financial losses is crucial for banks as they are required to set aside regulatory capital to absorb unexpected losses. Banks also need to calculate economic capital to ensure solvency according to their ... -
Combining different computational techniques in the development of financial prediction models
(SCITEPRESS, 2014)The prediction of financial time series to enable improved portfolio management is a complex topic that has been widely researched. Modelling challenges include the high level of noise present in the signals, the need to ... -
Combining empirical mode decomposition with neural networks for the prediction of exchange rates
(2014)The foreign exchange market is one of the largest and most active financial markets with enormous daily trading volumes. Exchange rates are influenced by the interactions of a large number of agents, each operating with ... -
Combining empirical mode decomposition with neural networks for the prediction of exchange rates
(SCITEPRESS (Science and Technology Publications, Lda.), 2014)This paper proposes a neural network based model applied to empirical mode decomposition (EMD) filtered data for multi-step-ahead prediction of exchange rates. EMD is used to decompose the returns of exchange rates into ... -
Combining games and speech recognition in a multilingual educational environment
(North-West University, 2014)Playing has been part of people's lives since the beginning of time. However, play does not take place in silence (isolated from speech and sound). The games people play allow them to interact and to learn through ... -
Combining historical remote sensing, digital soil mapping and hydrological modelling to produce solutions for infrastructure damage in Cosmo City, South Africa
(MDPI, 2020)Urbanization and hydrology have an interactive relationship, as urbanization changing the hydrology of a system and the hydrology commonly causing structural damage to the infrastructure. Hydrological modelling has been ... -
Combining physicochemical properties and microbiome data to evaluate the water quality of South African drinking water production plants
(Public Library of Science, 2020)Anthropogenic activities in catchments used for drinking water production largely contaminates source waters, and this may impact the quality of the final drinking water product. These contaminants may also affect taxonomic ... -
Combining quantitative and qualitative methods in forecasting qualified labour demand in the South African accommodation industry
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)Worldwide, skills shortages in the labour market have become more pronounced over the past several years. This has led to a vast gap in talent which has devastating impacts in especially the service industries, such as the ... -
Combining scenario and historical data in the loss distribution approach: a new procedure that incorporates measures of agreement between scenarios and historical data
(Infopro Digital Risk Limited, 2015)Many banks use the loss distribution approach in their advanced measurement models to estimate regulatory or economic capital. This boils down to estimating the 99.9% value-at-risk of the aggregate loss distribution and ... -
