Finding synergy between international leadership development initiatives: perspectives from the nutrition leadership programmes
(Karger, 2017)There is growing recognition that to address today’s nutritional problems there is a need for effective leaders in nutrition across sectors (academic, corporate, governmental and non-governmental), and at ... -
Finding the four qualities of intelligent industrial reporting
(Stellenbosch Univ, 2019)Internationally, innovation and technology are driving change through concepts such as ‘Industry 4.0’. However, due to various constraints, South Africa is lagging behind in this transformation. Furthermore, local ... -
Fingerprint matching on smart card: a review
(IEEE, 2017)Fingerprint Match-on-Card (MoC) offers the highest degree of privacy and security to cardholders as the fingerprint never leaves the secure environment of a smart card. The level of security of a biometric system is evaluated ... -

First record of the snapper-choking isopod Cymothoa excisa (Isopoda: Cymothoidae) parasitizing invasive lionfish Pterois volitans (Scorpaeniformes: Scorpaenidae)
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2018)Two female snapper-choking isopods Cymothoa excisa (body length 11 and 14 mm) were in the buccal cavity of two invasive lionfish Pterois volitans (total length 294 and 301 mm) collected in Alacranes Reef, southern Gulf of ... -
First year physics students' abilities and difficulties in solving kinematics problems in various contexts
(UNISA, 2014)The topic of students’ application of conceptual knowledge in physics is constantly being researched. It is a common occurrence that students are able to solve numerical problems without understanding the concepts involved. ... -
Flight controller and low-cost test environment for a simulated helicopter
(IFAC, 2014)In this paper, optimal linear control techniques are utilised to control a radio-controlled helicopter (30 size) in the AeroSIMRC simulation environment. A grey-box time-domain system identification method is used to ... -
The flow and heat transfer in a packed bed high temperature gas-cooled reactor
(ASME, 2010)Engineers are faced with two major challenges when carrying out the thermal-fluid design of a complex system consisting of many interacting components such as the PBMR power plant. The first challenge is to predict the ... -
Four novel methods for the harvesting of micro-algal biomass
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2011)The harvesting of micro-algal biomass is one of the most inefficient and costly steps in the whole biomass-to-liquids (BtL) value chain. Harvesting costs may contribute between 20–30% of the total cost of microalgal BtL ... -
Fourier-type monitoring procedures for strict stationarity
(Springer, 2018)We consider model-free monitoring procedures for strict stationarity of a given time series. The new criteria are formulated as L2-type statistics incorporating the empirical characteristic function. Monte Carlo results ... -
A framework to determine the suitability of software development methodologies for the development of location-based games
(Springer, 2017)To determine the suitability of an SDM (software development methodology) for the development of location-based games, it has to be determined to what degree SDMs address aspects that need to be addressed in the process ... -
Freight tracking cost analysis to improve logistics management operations
(SATNAC, 2014)The cross-border freight industry suffers from inefficiencies that can be addressed by implementing technology based systems. Inefficiencies cause time delays at amongst others border posts and weigh stations that in ... -
Fruit and vegetable intake behaviour among elderly patients attending routine out-patient clinic: a cross-sectional study
(Karger, 2017)Background and objectives: As human body gets older, it’s nutritional and health needs change due to increasing susceptibility to degenerative diseases. The elderly population is one demographic ... -
The FSRQ PKS 1510-089: the gamma-ray-synchrotron connection
(PoS, 2017)The flat spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) PKS 1510-089 (z=0.361) is known for its complex multiwavelength behaviour. Since 2015, it has been very active across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. This has lead to joint ... -
Fuel allocation and lockout system
(IEEE, 2018)In transport and Logistics business with the fierce competition, avoiding fuel theft through monitoring and management is a major concern in Africa. With the steadily increase in fuel price, fuel theft and fraud poses a ...
