Author:Marondedze, EF; Govender, Krishna; Govender, PPDate:Jan 2020Timely and accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a major challenge in the medical arena. β-amyloid (Aβ) imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography and single photon emission computed tomography require the use ...Read more
Author:Ngoepe, PE; Catlow, CRADate:Sep 2005The authors review computational modelling studies in materials resulting from the National Research Foundation-Royal Society collaboration. Initially, investigations were confined to transport and defect properties in fluorine and oxygen ion ...Read more
Author:Vermeulen, E; Grobbelaar, SS; Botha, Adèle; Nolte, KDate:Oct 2021Running-related injuries, specifically overuse injuries, are complex and multifaceted. A different way of thinking is required to fully comprehend why, and how, these injuries occur. The systems thinking perspective offers tools and techniques ...Read more
Author:Anandjiwala, RD; Gonsalves, JWDate:Feb 2006The fabric buckling model proposed by Grosberg and Swani has been modified by incorporating Huang’s bilinear bending rule. The proposed model is an extension of the present model and also covers the special cases. The numerical results appear ...Read more
Author:Modiba, Rosinah M; Chauke, HR; Ngoepe, PEDate:Sep 2017The ab initio density functional theory approach was employed to study the effect of Ni, Ir or Pd addition to the TiPt shape memory alloy. The supercell approach in VASP was used to substitute Pt with 6.25, 18.75, 25.00, 31.25 and 43.75 at.% ...Read more

Author:Govender, Natasha; Kuun, C; Zimu, V; Barnard, E; Davel, MDate:Apr 2006Two related issues were investigated in the computational modeling of Nguni prosody, based on annotated databases of isiZulu and isiXhosa speech. Firstly, authors show that a simple template can be used to describe the tonal characteristics ...Read more
Author:Wahab, OO; Olasunkanmi, LO; Govender, Krishna K; Govender, PPDate:Feb 2022The mechanisms of hydroxyl radical (·OH) degradation of disperse red 73 (DR73) dye were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Comparative feasibility of ·OH attack at the azo (N=N) site or on a > C–N group was ...Read more
Author:Oxtoby, Oliver F; Malan, AG; Heyns, Johan ADate:Oct 2015We describe a semi-implicit volume-of-fluid free-surface-modelling methodology for flow problems involving violent free-surface motion. For efficient computation, a hybrid-unstructured edge-based vertex-centred finite volume discretisation ...Read more
Author:Viljoen, A; Visser, AG; Groenwold, ADate:May 2005The computationally efficient analysis and optimum design of the buckling of stiffened, thin-walled shear panels in aircraft structures is discussed. Namely, the postbuckling behaviour of these panels is assessed using the iterative procedure ...Read more
Author:Beyers, RN; Koorbanally, Nicoli ADate:Jul 2010South Africa, and similar economies, cannot afford to lose another generation in the current schooling system, by failing to adequately equip youth to take advantage of life in a modern knowledge economy. This paper adopts a more philosophical ...Read more
Author:Malan, DF; Napier, JALDate:15 Aug 1995Microscopic observations indicate that intra- and transgranular fracturing are ubiquitous processes in the damage of rock fabrics. Extensive modelling of intergranular fracturing has been carried out previously using the distinct-element ...Read more
Author:Van Heerden, Renier P; Irwin, B; Burke, Ivan D; Leenen, LDate:2012Computer network attacks differ in the motivation of the entity behind the attack, the execution and the end result. The diversity of attacks has the consequence that no standard classification exists. The benefit of automated classification ...Read more
Author:Erasmus, TCDate:1973Since the conditions in the duct can vary, the data are recorded at the beginning, middle and end the sampling period for each sampling point.Read more
Author:Le Maitre, David C; Van Wilgen, BW; Richardson, DMDate:1993Managers of natural areas require a wide variety of up-to-date and accurate information and maps to manage their lands effectively. This paper reviews the objectives of conservation management, and the problems faced by mountain catchment ...Read more
Author:Withey, Daniel JDate:Oct 2015Computer vision systems are essential for practical, autonomous, mobile robots – machines that employ artificial intelligence and control their own motion within an environment. As with biological systems, computer vision systems include the ...Read more
