Research Output
Research output can be seen as the result of research and study which is done by an institutions' research community - usually in publicised form such as an article or book. The NWU-IR drives to raise the visibility of the outputs both locally and internationally to create further awareness of what is being done by the NWU.

The Development of a Sepedi Text Generation Model Using Transformers
(Southern Africa Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference (SATNAC) 2022, 2022)Text generation is one of the important sub-tasks of natural language generation (NLG), and aims to produce humanly readable text given some input text. Deep learning approaches based on neural networks have been proposed ... -
Developing a full core model of the North Anna Reactor using SCALE 6.2.3, NESTLE and MCNP 6.2
(North West University, 2022)This study presents the development of the modelling for a T-NEWT/NESTLE* lattice-to-nodal diffusion calculation. The reactor selected for this study is the North-Anna (NA) Unit 1 Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) of the ... -
Data literacy training needs of researchers at South African universities
(Emerald Insight, 2023)Purpose – The aim of this study was to determine data literacy (DL) training needs of researchers at South African public universities. The outcome of this study would assist librarians and researchers in developing a DL ... -
Manifold Characteristics That Predict Downstream Task Performance
(Cornell University, 2022)Pretraining methods are typically compared by evaluating the accuracy of linear classifiers, transfer learning performance, or visually inspecting the representation manifold’s (RM) lowerdimensional projections. We ... -
The Analysis of the Sepedi-English Code-switched Radio News Corpus
(UP Jornals, 2022)Code-switching is a phenomenon that occurs mostly in multilingual countries where multilingual speakers often switch between languages in their conversations. The unavailability of largescale code-switched corpora ... -
A Comparative Study of Graph Neural Network Speed Prediction during Periods of Congestion
(SciTePress, 2022)Traffic speed prediction using deep learning has been the topic of many studies. In this paper, we analyse the performance of Graph Neural Network-based techniques during periods of traffic congestion. We first compare ... -
Minimum phase finite impulse response filter design
(Wiley, 2022)The design of minimum phase finite impulse response (FIR) filters is considered. The study demonstrates that the residual errors achieved by current state‐of‐the‐art design methods are nowhere near the smallest error ... -
The performance of wearable sensors in the detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection : a systematic review
(Elsevier, 2022)Containing the COVID-19 pandemic requires rapidly identifying infected individuals. Subtle changes in physiological parameters (such as heart rate, respiratory rate, and skin temperature), discernible by wearable devices, ... -
Variations in risks from smoking between high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries: an analysis of data from 179 000 participants from 63 countries
(Elsevier BV, 2022)Background Separate studies suggest that the risks from smoking might vary between high-income (HICs), middle- income (MICs), and low-income (LICs) countries, but this has not yet been systematically examined within a ... -
Affective commitment, trust, perceived value and service quality as predictors of customer engagement in the South African open medical aid industry
(Department of Marketing and Retail Management (UNISA), 2022)The South African open medical aid industry is undergoing various challenges and is experiencing increased pressure to improve its service offerings. This is because customers of open medical aid providers are becoming ... -
Proposed framework for innovative business intelligence for competitive advantage in small, medium and micro-organisations in the North West province South Africa
(AOSIS, 2022)Background: Innovative business intelligence enjoys popularity amongst mainly large organisations, particularly in the private sector. However, very limited studies have validated the impact of business intelligence in ... -
Unpacking the Municipal demarcation application in South Africa
(University of Johannesburg, 2022)The year 2022 marks the sixth democratic local municipal demarcation process in South Africa. The Municipal Demarcation Board has invited the public to put forward their suggestions for the revision of local municipal ... -
An internal flow and heat transfer inside a solid rocket motor combustion chamber : a lie symmetry approach
(Elsevier, 2022)The validity of Solid Rocket Motor (SRM) stability calculations critically depends on the sufficiently detailed and physically correct representation of propellant velocity flow-field, which leads to well behaved flow. A ... -
The influence of calcium lignosulphonate addition on non-isothermal pyrolysis and gasification of demineralised bituminous coal fines
(Elsevier BV, 2022)Amorphous calcium lignosulphonate (CaLS), a by-product of the paper industry, was evaluated as an adhesive to bind demineralised bituminous coal fines in various weight percentage ratios. Sequential acid (HCl, HF, ... -
Lifestyle influences changes in fibrin clot properties over a 10-year period on a population level
(Georg Thieme Verlag, 2022)Case–control and observational studies have provided a plausible mechanistic link between clot structure and thrombosis. We aimed to identify lifestyle, demographic, biochemical, and genetic factors that influence changes ... -
Evaluation of the antioxidative potential of diisopropyldithiocarbamates sodium salt on diclofenac-induced toxicity in male albino rats
(Elsevier, 2022)Diclofenac (DIC) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which is known to induce oxidative stress. Dithiocarbamates are compounds with proven antioxidant effect. The aim of the present study was to investigate ... -
Building blocks in Planning research methodology : a roadmap to research design options
(Sun Media, 2022)Making sense of the myriad of available research design options is generally an arduous task for researchers. Proper research design is, subsequently, often neglected in Planning research, resulting in superficial research ... -
Sex-specific behavioral effects of acute exposure to the neonicotinoid clothianidin in mice
(Elsevier Inc, 2022)Although neonicotinoids are among the major classes of pesticides that affect mammalian nervous systems, little is known about sex differences in their effects. This study aimed to examine whether the neurobehavioral ...
