Qohelet and the nature of morality: a meta-ethical framework for future research
(Institute for Afro-Hellenic studies, 2016)The book of Ecclesiastes (here 'Qohelet'), like many other books of the Hebrew Bible, is often discussed with reference to its supposed 'ethics'. Within biblical scholarship, such research is often characterized by a ... -
Qohelet's concept of deity: a comparative–philosophical perspective
(AOSIS, 2013)This article discusses the concept of deity in the book of Ecclesiastes (Qohelet) from the perspective of issues of interest in analytic philosophy of religion. Of concern are assumptions in the text about religion, the ... -
QoS performance analysis of bit rate video streaming in next generation networks using TCP, UDP and a TCP+UDP hybrid
(University of the Witwatersrand, 2016)The growth in users streaming videos on the Internet has led to increased demand for improved video quality and reception. In next generation networks (NGNs), such as 3G and 4G LTE, quality of service (QoS) implementation ... -
QTc prolongation, increased NT-proBNP and pre-clinical myocardial wall remodeling in excessive alcohol consumers: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2018)Alcohol contributes greatly to vascular and structural modifications. Due to differences in the metabolism and tolerance of alcohol between ethnic groups, the manner of these modifications may differ. We investigated the ... -
QTL mapping for resistance to and tolerance for the rice root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne graminicola
(BioMed Central, 2018)Background The root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola is an obligate biotrophic pathogen considered to be the most damaging nematode species that causes significant yield losses to upland and rainfed lowland rice ... -
Quadratic mode shape components from ground vibration testing
(ASME, 2012)Points on a vibrating structure generally move along curved paths rather than straight lines. For example, the tip of a cantilever beam vibrating in a bending mode experiences axial displacement as well as transverse ... -
Quadratic mode shape components from linear finite element analysis
(ASME, 2012)Points on a vibrating structure move along curved paths rather than straight lines; however, this is largely ignored in modal analysis. Applications where the curved path of motion cannot be ignored include beamlike ... -
The quadratic variation of continuous time stochastic processes in vector lattices
(Elsevier, 2017)We define and study order continuity, topological continuity, γ-Hölder-continuity and Kolmogorov–Čentsov-continuity of continuous-time stochastic processes in vector lattices and show that every such kind of continuous ... -
Quadratic variation of martingales in Riesz spaces
(Elsevier, 2014)We derive quadratic variation inequalities for discrete-time martingales, sub- and supermartingales in the measure-free setting of Riesz spaces. Our main result is a Riesz space analogue of Austinʼs sample function theorem, ... -
The qualification of coal degradation with the aid of micro-focus computed tomography
(ASSAf, 2015)The production of unwanted coal fines during the handling and utilisation of coal is a serious problem in processes that rely on large or closely sized particles. Coal degradation occurs at many different steps within ... -
Qualification of in-house prepared 68Ga RGD in healthy monkeys for subsequent molecular imaging of avß3 integrin expression in patients
(2014)Introduction: Targeted pharmaceuticals for labelling with radio-isotopes for very specific imaging (and possibly later for targeted therapy) play a major role in Theranostics which is currently an important topic in Nuclear ... -
A qualitative analysis of facilities maintenance – a school governance function in South Africa
(Educational Asociation of SA (EASA), 2012)I analysed school facilities maintenance, a school governance function in South Africa. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 13 principals and three deputy principals as coordinators of this function at their schools. ... -
A qualitative analysis of the thematic patterns and lines of development of the most significant organisational leadership models
(North-West University, 2008)Based on a gap identified in existing literature, the aim of the study was to qualitatively examine the thematic patterns and lines of development of leadership models. The research was conducted from within a postmodern, ... -
The qualitative and quantitative evaluation of estrogen and estrogen-mimicking substances in the South African water environment
(Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, 1998)Recently some chemicals has been accused of mimicking the female hormone estrogen. The mode of action is termed estrogen-mimicking, because of the effects that is produced by these chemicals. Playing canary in a coal mine, ... -
A qualitative appraisal of the meaning and challenges of the principal's school governance role in the Gert Sibande Region
(2015)The purpose of this study was to appraise the meaning and challenges of the principal’s school governance role in the Gert Sibande Region of the Mpumalanga Province. This was premised on the inherent challenges of the ... -
A qualitative assessment of the insulation systems of medium voltage induction motors
(IEEE, 2007)The research was an attempt to understand the condition of the insulation system and to classify the data according to its condition. Data mining processes was used to create a model to gain insight into the data and the ... -
A qualitative assessment of the insulation systems of medium voltage induction motors
(North-West University, 2007)The aim of this study is to qualitatively assess the insulation system's condition of medium voltage induction motors. In essence this aim of the research was to analyse and classify the data. The initial step was to ... -
Qualitative evaluation of the design variables of a teaching intervention to expose accounting students to pervasive skills
(Sage, 2016)The primary objective of this article is to evaluate the design variables of a newly developed teaching intervention, 'The Amazing Tax Race'. It comprises a race against time in which accounting students participate within ... -
A qualitative exploration of a selected sample of South African women's experiences of belly dancing
(North-West University, South Africa, 2019)This mini-dissertation reports on a study that aimed to explore a selected sample of South African women’s experiences of belly dancing. A qualitative, exploratory research design was used. The study is contextualised in ...
