The importance of, and satisfaction with, store attributes when buying casual wear : a study among black Generation X consumers
(North-West University, 2010)With the rapid growth and competitiveness in the South African apparel retail industry, retailers and marketers face numerous challenges to remain competitive. Contributing to the dynamic nature of this phenomenon is the ... -
The importance of, and satisfaction with, store attributes when buying casual wear : a study among black Generation Y consumers
(North-West University, 2010)Since the retail industry is marked by intense competition, retailers must examine the factors influencing the buying behaviour of their targeted consumers and ensure that they formulate a retail strategy that contributes ... -
Important goals, meanings, and relationships in flourishing and languishing states: towards patterns of well-being
(Springer, 2019)Qualitative studies of lay people’s perspectives on facets of well-being are scarce, and it is not known how the perspectives of people with high and low levels of well-being dovetail or differ. This research explored the ... -
Imposex assessment and tributyltin levels in sediments along the Atlantic coast of South Africa
(Elsevier, 2018)Female marine gastropods develop imposex (growth of penis/vas deferens) when exposed to TBT (tributyltin). Ours, is the first report of an imposex survey associated with TBT in sediment along 920 km of South Africa's ... -
Imposex in marine gastropods from the Atlantic coast of South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2016)Tributyltin (TBT) is an organotin compound used as an antifouling agent in paint that is applied to the hulls of vessels to prevent the formation of biofilms. This highly toxic antifouling compound leaches into the water ... -
Impoverishing and dehumanising violence against women: an opportunity for service by churches in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
(AOSIS, 2017)An ongoing armed conflict in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo continues to impoverish and dehumanise women. Sexual violence meted on women has negative consequences that affect whole communities. Churches nationally ... -
Impression management within the Zulu culture: exploring tactics in the work context
(AOSIS, 2016)Orientation: Impression management tactics are utilised differently by people depending on the situation and the others around them. Research purpose: The purpose of the study was to identify the impression management ... -
Impressions on aspects of the process – and outcomes – of curriculum transformation in History for schools after 1994 in South Africa.
(School for Basic Sciences, Vaal Triangle Campus, North-West University, 2008)• Opsomming: Die aanbreek van die 21e eeu het ook wêreldwye veranderinge in geskiedenisonderrig getoon. Dit was sigbaar in vele gewysigde of nuwe kurrikula binne veral die verdere onderwys- en opleidingsfase (hoërskole) ... -
Impressions on conducting and reporting interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary environmental research in South Africa a historian's perspective / Elize S. Van Eeden
(Vanderbijlpark :|bNorth-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2013-02-01)Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I would get the opportunity in my academic lifetime to combine, into one inaugural lecture, my regional history research experience in a wide variety of disciplinary fields, ... -
An improved baseline model for a mine surface cooling plant DSM project
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)Several challenges exist for the successful implementation of energy cost reduction projects on industrial systems. Due to the potential large financial impact of these projects, the process of determining and reporting ... -
Improved control of clear water underground pumping system for demand side management at an interconnected South African goldmine
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)Deep level clear water pumping at gold mines accounts for nearly 30 % of a mine’s total electricity consumption. Demand side management (DSM) initiatives for various deep level water pumping systems have been implemented ... -
Improved control of compressed air networks using machine learning
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2021)Mining companies in South Africa are under financial strain and so need to minimise expenses to stay profitable. Improving the efficiency of compressed air networks could lead to a significant reduction in electricity ... -
Improved control processes to sustain electricity cost savings on a mine water reticulation system
(North-West University, 2019)Eskom provides the majority of South Africa's electricity. However, Eskom's maximum generating capacity might not be sufficient to meet South Africa's demand in the future. Therefore, Eskom initialised the Demand Side ... -
Improved energy budgeting process for mines using measurement and verification principles
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)Budgets are a common tool used to determine the future income and expenditure of a mine. The operating budgets (largely focussed on the energy consumption of the mine) are also used to measure the mine’s performance. It ... -
An improved error correction algorithm for multicasting over LTE networks
(2014)Multicasting in Long-Term Evolution (LTE) environments poses several challenges if it is to be reliably implemented. Neither retransmission schemes nor Forward Error Correction (FEC), the traditional error correction ... -
Improved event based method for harmonic impedance assessment
(IEEE, 2016)The quantification of harmonic emission requires an accurate model of the network harmonic impedances. A number of techniques have been proposed for the assessment of the network harmonic impedances to be practical and ... -
An improved formulation of the underground mine scheduling optimisation problem when considering selective mining
(ORSSA, 2015)The use of mixed integer programming is a modelling approach well suited to formulate the mine scheduling optimisation problem for both open pit and underground mining. The resolution applied for discretising the problem, ... -
Improved gold recovery by accelerated gravity separation
(North-West University, 2011)This project was specifically aimed at using increased acceleration separation, as a method to optimize the recovery of gold in an ore body mainly consisting of hematite. The specific gravity of gold is much higher in ... -
Improved gold recovery by accelerated gravity separation
(Gecamin Publishers, 2014)This project was specifically aimed at using increased acceleration separation, as a method to optimize the recovery of gold in an ore body mainly consisting of hematite where the specific gravity of gold is much higher ... -
Improved implementation strategies to sustain energy saving measures on mine cooling systems
(2015)Reliable, efficient and cost-effective energy supply is crucial for economic and social development. Mining and industrial sectors consumed close to 37% of the total energy produced in the world during 2013. The South ...
