(IP Publishing, 2012)This paper investigates the socio-demographic and behavioural determinants that influence visitor expenditure at the Two Oceans Marathon in South Africa, based on a participant and spectator survey conducted at the race ... -
Determinants of vulnerability to food insecurity in a South African township: a gender analysis
(Mediterranean Center of Social and Educational Research (MCSER), 2013)The results of a study reported in this article comparatively analyse the gender determinants of vulnerability to food insecurity in a South African township of Kwakwatsi, South Africa. The results are based on a household ... -
Determinants of wellbeing in a South African Township
(The Social Sciences Research Society (SOSRES), 2014)Life evaluations capture a reflective assessment on a person’s life or some specific aspects of it. Given the relative lack of empirical work on subjective wellbeing (SWB) amongst residents in South African townships, this ... -
Determination and comparison of intraspecific variation in the bacterial strains resident in the rhizoplane and rhizosphere of Bambaranut (Vorandzeia subterranean L. thouars)
(North-West University (South Africa), 2017)The bacterial community found in the rhizosphere has been found to have more diversity compared to the rhizoplane due to the interaction of microbes and plants in the soil environment. The intraspecific variations of ... -
Determination and Quantification of Aflatoxin M1 in fresh milk samples obtained in goats and cattle in selected rural areas of the Limpopo Province, South Africa
(Kamla-Raj, 2016)In this study, the Enzyme Linked Immuno-sorbent Assay (ELISA) was used to detect aflatoxin M1(AFM1) detection in 118 milk samples from subsistence farms in selected rural areas in the Limpopo Province, South Africa. This ... -
Determination and statistical evaluation of the effect of minerals and mineral associations in specific dense medium fractions on ash fusion temperature
(North-West University, 2005)During Sasol-Lurgi Fixed Bed Dry Bottom coal gasification, the mineral matter in coal undergoes various transformations. Heat induced transformation due to low ash fusion temperatures leads to agglomeration of the ash ... -
Determination and the no-free-lunch paradox
(MIT Press, 2011)We discuss the no-free-lunch NFL theorem for supervised learning as a logical paradox—that is, as a counterintuitive result that is correctly proven from apparently incontestable assumptions. We show that the uniform prior ... -
Determination of a safe distance for atomic hydrogen depositions in hot-wire chemical vapour deposition by means of CFD heat transfer simulations
(Tech Science Press, 2020)A heat transfer study was conducted, in the framework of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), on a Hot-Wire Chemical Vapour Deposition (HWCVD) reactor chamber to determine a safe deposition distance for atomic hydrogen ... -
