Application of novel Anion-Exchange Blend Membranes (AEBMs) to vanadium redox flow batteries
(MDPI, 2018)Both cation-exchange membranes and anion-exchange membranes are used as ion conducting membranes in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs). Anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) are applied in vanadium redox flow batteries due ... -
Application of Sm0.8Sr0.2Fe1-xCoxO3-δ (x = 0.2, 0.5, 0.8) perovskite for the oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline media
(Springer, 2019)A new type of perovskite, i.e. Sm0.8Sr0.2Fe0.8Co0.2O3-δ (SSFC1), Sm0.8Sr0.2Fe0.5Co0.5O3-δ (SSFC2), and Sm0.8Sr0.2Fe0.2Co0.8O3-δ (SSFC3) were (i) synthesised by employing a sol gel method with subsequent calcination at 1000 ... -
An application of space-for-time substitution in two post-mining chronosequences under rehabilitation
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)Long-term monitoring of post-mining rehabilitation is inherently difficult and cannot be replicated, making the application of traditional experimental and statistical approaches for quantitative assessment of rehabilitation ... -
Application of Taguchi method to optimize garlic essential oil nanoemulsions
(Elsevier, 2017)Essential oils have been recognised from both swine and poultry industries as an alternative to antimicrobial growth promoters as they pose a threat to animals and human health. Hence, the aim of this study was to develop ... -
Application of the analytic hierarchy process to weight the criteria used to determine the Water Quality Index of groundwater in the northeastern basin of the Sidi Bouzid region, Central Tunisia
(Springer, 2020)The Sidi Bouzid and El Hjal Wadi basins together comprise one of the most important agricultural regions in Central Tunisia. Exploitation of the groundwater in this region is increasing exponentially. In this work, ... -
Applications of group theoretical methods to non-newtonian fluid flow models: survey of results
(Hindawi, 2017)The present review is intended to encompass the applications of symmetry based approaches for solving non-Newtonian fluid flow problems in various physical situations. Works which deal with the fundamental science of ... -
Applications of linear superposition principle to resonant solitons and complexitons
(Elsevier, 2017)We apply the linear superposition principle to Hirota bilinear equations and generalized bilinear equations. By extending the linear superposition principle to complex field, we construct complex exponential wave function ... -
Applications potential of structural path analysis in urban agriculture: a literature review
(Kamla-Raj Enterprises, 2014)Structural path analysis (SPA) is a specialized SAM technique in which transaction values and direction are loaded on to flow networks between market players in order to capture the size, direction and intensity of ... -
Applying a transdisciplinary mixed methods research design to explore sustainable diets in rural South Africa
(Sage, 2015)This article describes a conceptual framework for exploring sustainable diets, using a case study example of ongoing research in the Vaalharts region, a rural setting in South Africa. A qualitative research approach is ... -

Applying lessons learnt from deficiencies in the Basel Accords to Solvency II
(Sabinet, 2013)Solvency II is the new European Union (EU) legislation that will review the capital adequacy regime for the insurance industry. Considerable progress has been made in the banking sector with the implementation of the Basel ... -
Applying Monte Carlo methods to model multi-wavelength emission of RMHD jet simulations.
(Sissa Medialab, 2019)Relativistic jets associated with active galactic nuclei (AGN) produce radiation over a large range of the electromagnetic spectrum. While relativistic magneto-hydrodynamic (RMHD) simulations have become a powerful tool ... -
Applying predictive analytics in identifying students at risk: a case study
(Stellenbosch Univ, 2016)In this article, a case study is presented of an institutional modelling project whereby the most appropriate learning algorithm for the prediction of students dropping out before or in the second year of study was identified ... -
Applying the science of learning to the learning of science: Newton’s second law of motion
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)Science teaching and learning require knowledge about how learning takes place (cognition) and how learners interact with their surroundings (affective and sociocultural factors). The study reported on focussed on learning ... -
Appraising coach performance: A qualitative analysis of coaches perceptions
(LAM Publications; AJOL; Sabinet, 2013)As a result of the proliferation of international competition, increased participation in sport, increased sponsorship, increased visibility of sport and greater levels spectatorship, the management of human resources in ... -
