    • Characterising tuberculosis and treatment failure thereof using metabolomics 

      Luies, Laneke (North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2017., 2017)
      Tuberculosis (TB), a highly contagious bacterial disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is considered the leading cause of death globally from a single bacterial pathogen. The latest reports indicate 10.4 million ...

    • Comparing generalized additive neural networks with multilayer perceptrons 

      Goosen, Johannes Christiaan (North-West University, 2011)
      In this dissertation, generalized additive neural networks (GANNs) and multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) are studied and compared as prediction techniques. MLPs are the most widely used type of artificial neural network (ANN), ...

    • An evaluation of financial distress prediction measures for listed companies in South Africa 

      Gerber, Dario (North-West University (South Africa), 2020)
      The need for additional measures of financial distress for listed companies is tantamount and stems from the ever-increasing number of business failures in South Africa’s current economic climate. This study investigates ...

    • Improved control of compressed air networks using machine learning 

      Matthee, Gerhardus Johannes (North-West University (South Africa)., 2021)
      Mining companies in South Africa are under financial strain and so need to minimise expenses to stay profitable. Improving the efficiency of compressed air networks could lead to a significant reduction in electricity ...

    • Modelling of losses in multi-stage axial compressors with subsonic conditions 

      Swift, William James (North-West University, 2003)
      The need was identified to develop an analytical performance prediction code for subsonic multistage axial compressors that can be included in network analysis software. It was found that performance calculations based ...

    • Towards developing a prediction model for managing river flood disasters in the SADC-region 

      Muzuwa, Tichaona (North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)
      In the Southern African Development Community (SADC)-region, and elsewhere internationally, statistically floods are considered to affect more people, animals, the environment and cause more economic losses than any other ...

    • Traditional versus new models of risk prediction 

      Sehestedt, Thomas; Olsen, Michael H. (Elsevier, 2015)
      Risk stratification for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease is today performed using traditional risk factors such as age, gender, blood pressure, serum cholesterol, smoking habits, and plasma glucose. However, ...

    • Traffic flow prediction with graph convolutional networks 

      Oosthuizen, Marko Cornelius (North-West University (South Africa)., 2023)
      Traffic flow prediction is a complex task utilising both spatial and temporal information in order to predict the expected speed of traffic at different points in a transportation network. We study the use of graph ...
