Automatic vs manual assessment of programming tasks
(ACM, 2017)Lecturers are struggling to keep up with their daily responsibilities because of an ever-increasing workload. Manual programming assessment processes are time-consuming, but a possible solution is to use the assistance of ... -
Automation of generalized additive neural networks for predictive data mining
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)For a new technology to make the step from experimental technology to mainstream technology, tools need to be created to facilitate the use of the developed technology in the envisaged application area. Generalized additive ... -
Automation of membrane based solvent extraction unit for Zr and Hf separation
(Elsevier, 2017)In recent years, research into metal ion solvent extraction using hollow fibre membranes has grown. Current studies generally use an analogue controlled experimental setup. Although the analogue system is sufficient for ... -
Autonomic activity and its relationship with the endogenous cardiotonic steroid marinobufagenin: the African-PREDICT study
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)Aim: Marinobufagenin (MBG), a cardiotonic steroid and a natriuretic hormone, is elevated in response to high salt diet consumption. In animal models salt intake stimulates adrenocortical MBG secretion via increased angiotensin ... -
Autonomic activity and leptin in Africans and whites: the SABPA study
(Wolters Kluwer/Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2014)Objectives: Evidence exists that leptin enhances sympathetic activity and may thereby contribute to the development of obesity-related hypertension. Sympathetic activation also seems more prominent in Africans than whites. ... -
Autonomy-related parenting processes and adolescent adjustment in Latinx immigrant families
(Springer, 2019)It is unclear how autonomy-related parenting processes are associated with Latinx adolescent adjustment. This study uses Latent Profile Analysis to identify typologies of parental monitoring and parent–adolescent conflict ... -
Availability and affordability of blood pressure-lowering medicines and the effect on blood pressure control in high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries: an analysis of the PURE study data
(Elsevier, 2017)Background Hypertension is considered the most important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, but its control is poor worldwide. We aimed to assess the availability and affordability of blood pressure-lowering medicines, ... -
Availability and affordability of essential medicines for diabetes across high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries: a prospective epidemiological study
(Elsevier, 2018)Background Data are scarce on the availability and affordability of essential medicines for diabetes. Our aim was to examine the availability and affordability of metformin, sulfonylureas, and insulin across multiple ... -
