Non-prescription sale and dispensing of antibiotics in community pharmacies in Zambia
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)Background: In Zambia, antibiotics are categorized as prescription-only medicines. Antibiotics dispensed without a prescription pose a public health threat, which is a concern. Consequently, the aim is to ascertain the ... -
Non-profit organisations and government's pro-poor spending: the case of health and development in Gauteng
(North-West University, 2011)Globally, there is growing recognition of participatory public expenditure management(PPEM). PPEM is seen as the process whereby citizens and civil society organisations participate in the management of public expenditures. ... -
Non-Standard Workers: The South African Context, International Law and Regulation by The European Union
(2008)The current labour market has many forms of employment relations that differ from full-time employment. "Atypical," "non-standard," or even "marginal" are terms used to describe these new workers and include, amongst others, ... -
Non-structural protein NS3/NS3a is required for propagation of bluetongue virus in Culicoides sonorensis
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Bluetongue virus (BTV) causes non-contagious haemorrhagic disease in ruminants and is transmitted by Culicoides spp. biting midges. BTV encodes four non-structural proteins of which NS3/NS3a is functional in ... -
Non-volunteerism of university sport students: a leisure constraints theory approach
(University of Stellenbosch, 2016)Research indicates that student volunteerism has declined in numerous countries. The current South African sport industry is heavily dependent on volunteers to deliver services in communities and at sporting events. A ... -
Nonconvex proximal normal structure in convex metric spaces
(Duke University Press, 2016)Given that A and B are two nonempty subsets of the convex metric space (X,d,W), a mapping T:A∪B→A∪B is noncyclic relatively nonexpansive, provided that T(A)⊆A, T(B)⊆B, and d(Tx,Ty)≤d(x,y) for all (x,y)∈A×B. A point (p,q)∈A×B ... -
Nonequilibrium poroelectroelastic theory for polymer electrolytes under conditions of water electrolysis
(Elsevier, 2019)The paper deals with the nonequilibrium poroelectroelastic theory (PEET) for polymer electrolytes (PE) under the conditions of water electrolysis with a view of further use in the theoretical description of mass transfer ... -
Nonlinear co-integration between unemployment and economic growth in South Africa
(University of Primorska, 2014)In this paper, a momentum threshold autoregressive (mtar) model is used to evaluate nonlinear equilibrium reversion between unemployment and economic growth for South African data between the periods 2000–2013. To attain ... -
Nonlinearly self–adjoint, conservation laws and solutions for forced BBM equation
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014)We study a forced Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (BBM) equation. We prove that the equation is not weak self-adjoint; however, it is nonlinearly self-adjoint. By using a general theorem on conservation laws due to Nail Ibragimov and ... -
A nonnative Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) population in the Republic of South Africa is resistant to herbicides with different sites of action
(2022)Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri S. Watson) is not native to Africa. Based on the presence and persistence of A. palmeri populations, its invasive status in southern Africa is classified as “naturalized.” Globally, A. ... -
Nonparametric estimation of location and scale parameters
(Elsevier, 2012)Two random variables X and Y belong to the same location-scale family if there are constants μ and σ such that Y and μ+σX have the same distribution. In this paper we consider non-parametric estimation of the parameters μ ... -
Nonparametric estimation of the antimode and the minimum of a density function
(Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, 1995, 1995)The study of the estimation of the antimode and the minimum of a density function has been neglected in the li terature, in spite of their useful applications. The main objective of this thesis is to propose and study ... -
Nonparametric estimation of the cross ratio function
(Springer, 2020)The cross ratio function (CRF) is a commonly used tool to describe local dependence between two correlated variables. Being a ratio of conditional hazards, the CRF can be rewritten in terms of (first and second derivatives ... -
Nonparametric estimation of the off-pulse interval(s) of a pulsar light curve
(2014)The main objective of this thesis is the development of a non-parametric sequential estimation technique for the off-pulse interval(s) of a source function originating from a pulsar. It is important to identify the off-pulse ... -
A nonparametric point estimation technique using the m-out-of-n bootstrap
(SASA, 2018)We investigate a method which can be used to improve an existing point estimator by a modification of the estimator and by using the m-out-of-n bootstrap. The estimation method used, known as bootstrap robust aggregating ... -
Nonparametric probability weighted empirical characteristic function and applications
(Elsevier, 2016)We study certain properties of probability weighted quantities and suggest a nonparametric estimator of the probability weighted characteristic function introduced by Meintanis et al. (2014). Some properties of this estimator ... -
Nonparametric testing for no covariate effects in conditional copulas
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)In dependence modelling using conditional copulas, one often imposes the working assumption that the covariate influences the conditional copula solely through the marginal distributions. This so-called (pairwise) simplifying ... -
Nonuniform internal structure of fibrin fibers: protein density and bond density strongly decrease with increasing diameter
(Hindawi, 2017)Themajor structural component of a blood clot is ameshwork of fibrin fibers. It has long been thought that the internal structure of fibrin fibers is homogeneous; that is, the protein density and the bond density between ... -
Non–destructive foliar chlorophyll measurement has the potential to predict crude protein concentration and in vitro ruinal organic matter digestibility in Bracharia decumbens herbage
(ELSEVIER, 2014)Quick and accurate estimation of crude protein (CP) concentration and in vitro ruminal organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) of tropical pastures is critical to determine possible nutrient deficits prior to herbage utilization. ...
