Estimation of human body concentrations of DDT from indoor residual spraying for malaria control

Bornman, Riana; Bouwman, Hindrik; Fritsche, Lukas; Gyalpo, Tenzing; Scheringer, Martin (Elsevier, 2012)

Inhabitants of dwellings treated with DDT for indoor residual spraying show high DDT levels in blood and breast milk. This is of concern since mothers transfer lipid-soluble contaminants such as DDT via breastfeeding to ...
Ethanol production from tropical sugar beet juice

Brandling, Janine Ellen; Marx, Sanette; Van der Gryp, Percy (Academic journals, 2012)

Starch and sugar resources have been extensively researched to find a suitable renewable source of energy to supplement the world’s ever increasing demand for energy while also abating global warming by stemming the addition ...

Experiments to improve forecasting accuracy of regression models with minimal assumptions

Van der Westhuizen, Magderie; Hattingh, Giel; Kruger, Hennie (Tadbir Operational Research Group, 2010)

The forecasting accuracy of a regression model relies heavily on the applicability of the assumptions made by the model builder. In addition, the presence of outliers may also lead to models that are not reliable and thus ...
