Fisheries crime, human rights and small-scalefisheries in South Africa: Acase of biggerfish to fry
(Elsevier, 2019)Marinefisheries plays an important role in ensuring food security and providing livelihoods in South Africa, as inmany other developing coastal States. Transnationalfisheries crime seriously undermines these goals. Drawingon ... -
A fit-for-purpose nutrient profiling model to underpin food and nutrition policies in South Africa
(MPDI, 2021)South Africa (SA) is facing a rising prevalence of obesity and diet-related chronic diseases. The government is seeking to develop effective, evidence-based policy measures to address this. A well-designed, fit-for-purpose ... -
A fitted numerical method for a model arising in HIV-related cancer-immune system dynamics
(Tianjin Polytechnic University, 2019)The effect of diseases such as cancer and HIV among our societies is evident. Thus, from the mathematical point of view many models has been developed with the aim to contribute towards understanding the dynamics of ... -
A fitted numerical method for parabolic turning point singularly perturbed problems with an interior layer
(Wiley, 2019)The objective of this paper is to construct and analyzea fitted operator finite difference method (FOFDM) forthe family of time-dependent singularly perturbed parabolicconvection–diffusion problems. The solution to the ... -
A fitted numerical method for singularly perturbed parabolic reaction-diffusion problems
(Spring Verlag, 2013)This paper treats a time-dependent singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion problem. We semidiscretize the problem in time by means of the classical backward Euler method. We develop a fitted operator finite difference ... -
A fitted operator method for a model arising in vascular tumor dynamics
(Tianjin Polytechnic University, 2020)In this paper, we consider a model for the population kinetics of human tumor cells in vitro, differentiated by phases of the cell division cycle and length of time within each phase. Since it is not easy to isolate ... -
A fitted operator method for tumor cells dynamics in their micro-environment
(Tianjin Polytechnic University, 2019)In this paper, we consider a quasi non-linear reaction-diffusion model designed to mimic tumor cells’ proliferation and migration under the influence of their micro-environment in vitro. Since the model can be used to ... -
Fitting power-law distributions to data with measurement errors
(Oxford University Press, 2009)If X, which follows a power-law distribution, is observed subject to Gaussian measurement error e, thenX+e is distributed as the convolution of the power-lawand Gaussian distributions. Maximum-likelihood estimation of ... -
Fitting sinusoids to observations of rotating spotted stars
(Oxford University Press, 2007)It is assumed that K blocks (e.g. seasons) of observations are available, and the parameters characterizing a fixed-frequency sinusoidal variability (mean light level, amplitude, phase) are constant within each of the ... -
Five suggestions to fix local government
(State of Local Governance Publication, 2018)The past few weeks have brought the troubled state of local government to the fore with renewed vigour. The Auditor-General’s (AG) consolidated report over the 2016/2017 financial year presented a very bleak picture of the ... -
Flavonoid and phenolic acid profiles of dehulled and whole vigna subterranea (l.) Verdc seeds commonly consumed in South Africa
(MDPI, 2022)Bambara groundnut (BGN) is an underexploited crop with a rich nutrient content and is used in traditional medicine, but limited information is available on the quantitative characterization of its flavonoids and phenolic ... -
Flexible learning and teaching: Looking beyond the binary of full-time/part-time provision in South African higher education
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)This paper engages with literature on flexible learning and teaching in order to explore whether it may be possible, within the South African context, to have flexible learning and teaching provide a third way which goes ... -
A flexible method for estimating luminosity functions via Kernel Density Estimation
(IOP Publishing, 2020)We propose a flexible method for estimating luminosity functions (LFs) based on kernel density estimation (KDE), the most popular nonparametric density estimation approach developed in modern statistics, to overcome ... -
The flexible, extended coil of the pdz-binding motif of the three deadly human coronavirus e proteins plays a role in pathogenicity
(MDPI, 2022)The less virulent human (h) coronaviruses (CoVs) 229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1 cause mild, self-limiting respiratory tract infections, while the more virulent SARS-CoV-1, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2 have caused severe outbreaks. ... -
Flipped out in the blended classroom, the good, the bad and the ugly: When academics become students
(Sabinet, 2018)This article explores the well-being of three academics from different higher education institutions and disciplines, as they engage in professional academic development (PAD) courses using technology. A collaborative ... -
Floor control arbitration for a hybrid voice/text web-board
(Telkom, 2003)We have built a hybrid voice/text web–board that utilizes floor control for handling resources such as microphone and interface events. The aim of this research is to determine the most appropriate floor control mechanism ... -
Fluid use in mountain bikers – self-reported practices.
(Health medical publishing group (HMPG), 2007)BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES. Little is known of the fluid replacement habits of participants in mountain bike (MTB)endurance events. This survey set out to determine the current perceptions and practices of this group of ... -
Fly ash-based geopolymer building materials for green and sustainable development
(MPDI, 2020)This study reports on formulations and conditions for producing fly ash-based geopolymers with a view to showing that the compressive strength required for construction applications can be obtained without the addition of ... -
The Flying Hadji
(Stellenbosch: Institute for Theological Interdisciplinary Research (EFSA) in cooperation with CCAWT Research, 2000)All things considered, becoming a Muslim theologian was high on my list of possible vocations at the end of high school. Unfortunately for me, this was not to be I was a Muslim woman with a dream at the wrong time. Instead, ... -
