Identification and comparison of the volatile organic compound concentrations in ambient air in the Cape Town metropolis and the Vaal Triangle
(North-West University, 2006)The growing concern for environmental problems underlines the importance of correctly predicting the fate of pollutants released into the environment. In the case of VOCs, this is a complex task due to the large number of ... -
Identification and critical analysis of the factors influencing procedural efficiency in water use licence applications
(North-West University, 2018)In order to ensure that water is not over used and that the quality thereof is not compromised chapter 4 part 1 of the National Water Act (Act 36 of 1998) requires that a water use (as defined in section 21 of the act) ... -
Identification and estimation of the extent of factors influencing maize production using images from Unmanned Aerial Systems
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)Precision agriculture is becoming increasingly popular. From the use of automated irrigation systems to automated pesticide distribution using drones (Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs)) spanning to yield-estimation through ... -
Identification and expression of proteases C. sonorensis and C. imicola important for African horsesickness virus replication
(2014)African horsesickness (AHS) is one of the most deadly diseases of horses, with a mortality rate of over 90% in horses that have not been exposed to any African horsesickness virus (AHSV) serotype previously (Howell, 1960; ... -
Identification and reproduction potential of South African Meloidogyne species
(2016)Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) parasitize a wide range of agri- and horticultural crops worldwide, causing yield and quality losses. Meloidogyne arenaria, M. hapla, M. incognita and M. javanica generally are the ... -
The identification and verification of optimal reintroduction sites for the Southern Ground Hornbill Bucorvus leadbeateri in the Musina area of the Limpopo Province, South Africa
(North-West University, 2011)The Southern Ground Hornbill (SGH) (Bucorvus leadbeateri) has recently been listed globally by the IUCN Red list as Endangered or Critically Endangered. In South Africa, the declining population of the SGH has led it to ... -
The identification of biomarkers to assist in the hydrological characterisation of a chromium polluted mine
(2013)Chromium is used in many processing applications, which has led to the formation of chromium (VI) waste. Cr(VI) is an unstable, mobile carcinogen, which is interchangeable with Cr(III) under certain environmental conditions. ... -
Identification of currency jumps in the Rand to US Dollar exchange rate
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)Modeling most financial assets, including exchange rates, proves to be a rather difficult task. One cause of this difficulty is the occasional unpredictable and large price movements that occur, known as jumps. Thus, ... -
