An exact algorithm for the N-sheet two dimensional single stock-size cutting stock problem
(ORSSA (Operations Research Society of South Africa), 2015)The method introduced in this paper extends the trim-loss problem or also known as 2D rect- angular SLOPP to the multiple sheet situation where N same size two-dimensional sheets have to be cut optimally producing demand ... -
Exact Solitary Wave and Periodic Wave Solutions of a Class of Higher–Order Nonlinear Wave Equations
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2015)We study the exact traveling wave solutions of a general fifth-order nonlinear wave equation and a generalized sixth-order KdV equation. We find the solvable lower-order subequations of a general related fourth-order ... -
Exact Solutions and Conservation Laws for a Generalized Double Combined sinh-cosh-Gordon Equation
(Springer, 2016)In this paper we study a generalized double combined sinh-cosh-Gordon equation, which appears in a wide range of physical applications. It admits geometric interpretation as the differential equation which determines ... -

Exact solutions and Conservation Laws of the Drinfel’d-Sokolov-Wilson System
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014)We study the Drinfel'd-Sokolov-Wilson system, which was introduced as a model of water waves. Firstly we obtain exact solutions of this system using the G'/G-expansion method. In addition to exact solutions we also construct ... -
Exact solutions for Stokes' Flow of a non-Newtonian nanofluid model: a Lie Similarity approach
(De Gruyter, 2016)The fully developed time-dependent flow of an incompressible, thermodynamically compatible non-Newtonian third-grade nanofluid is investigated. The classical Stokes model is considered in which the flow is generated due ... -
Exact Solutions of Fragmentation Equations with General Fragmentation Rates and Separable Particles Distribution Kernels
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014)We make use of Laplace transform techniques and the method of characteristics to solve fragmentation equations explicitly. Our result is a breakthrough in the analysis of pure fragmentation equations as this is the first ... -
Exact solutions of the symmetric regularized long wave equation and the Klein–Gordan–Zakharov equations
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014)We study two nonlinear partial differential equations, namely, the symmetric regularized long wave equation and the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov equations. The Lie symmetry approach along with the simplest equation and exp-function ... -

Examining asymmetric effects in the South African Phillips curve: evidence from logistic smooth transition regression models
(Inderscience, 2016)This study contributes to the foregoing literature by investigating asymmetric behaviour within the South African short-run Phillips curve for three versions of the Phillips curve specification namely; the New Classical ... -
Examining maternal age, breastfeeding self-efficacy and health locus of control in psychological wellbeing of mothers
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)We investigated the direct and interaction influence of maternal age, breastfeeding self-efficacy (BSE), health locus of control (HLOC) on six dimensions of psychological wellbeing of breastfeeding mothers in Lagos, Nigeria. ... -
Examining psychometric properties, measurement invariance, and construct validity of a short version of the Test to Measure Intercultural competence (TMIC–S) in Germany and Brazil
(Elsevier, 2015)The goal of this study was to develop and validate a short version (TMIC-S) of the Test to Measure Intercultural Competence (TMIC; Schnabel, Kelava, Seifert, & Kuhlbrodt, 2015). TMIC-S measures six malleable abilities that ... -
Examining significant predictors of students' intention to drop out
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)The objective of this study was to determine if core self-evaluation traits, burnout, disengagement, social support and career decision making difficulties are significant predictors of university students’ intention to ... -
Examining the ethical predisposition of the next generation of business leaders in China and the Republic of South Africa
(University of Pretoria, Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences, 2008)This study was undertaken in an effort to determine the attitudes of business students in South Africa and China toward a battery of questionable actions undertaken by anonymous business entities. In general, practices ... -
Examining the influence of HIV knowledge and perceived vulnerability to HIV/AIDS on attitude towards use of personal clipper in Ibadan, Southwestern Nigeria
(IFE Centre for Psychological Studies (ICPS), 2016)As stakeholders continue to sensitise the Nigerian people about the causes and prevention of HIV/AIDS; little emphasis however, appears to be placed in attitudes of people toward the use of personal clippers when they go ... -
Examining the influence of the wine festival experience on tourists' quality of life
(Springer Verlag, 2013)Hosting events and festivals is the best way of providing the wine tourism experience. Wine festivals offer a wide range of experiences that are different from day-today living, offer a lifestyle package and are an indicator ... -

Examining the relationship between job security, compensation and training among professional sport coaches in South Africa
(LAM Publications; AJOL; Sabinet, 2013)Sport organizations are mainly in the business of providing a service - for example sport coaching. For coaches to perform at the optimal level they need, among other things, to be provided with appropriate training and ... -
Examining the roles of gender and personal dispositions in attitudes toward knowledge sharing of senior administrators
(SABINET ONLINE LTD, 2014)The study examined the association between gender, self-efficacy, extroversion and attitudes toward knowledge sharing among 157 male and 135 female senior administrators in a Nigerian university. A cross-sectional ... -
Examining waist and neck circumferences as screening tools for metabolic syndrome in a sub-Saharan Caucasian cohort at three year follow-up: the SABPA prospective cohort
(MedPharm Publications, 2014)Objectives: Waist circumference (WC) cut-off points specific to sub-Saharan Caucasians do not exist with which to identify metabolic syndrome. Neck circumference (NC), as an additional measure, was previously found to be ...
