A neural network based method for input parameter selection
(Machine Learning in Heliophysics, 2019-09)NNs yield predictions, without aiding understanding of input-output relationship Fully connected networks mix signal from all inputs as information flows through the network Input parameter selection usually done -
Neural network inference measurements applied to the pebble bed modular reactor
(North-West University, 2004)Inference measurements with time-delayed feed-forward neural networks facilitates the inference of unknown variables from known variables in non-linear dynamic systems. This is based only on the mapping data of the known ... -
Neuro-endocrine coping responses in African and Caucasian teachers from the North-West Province : the SABPA study
(2015)MOTIVATION - Myocardial infarction, stroke and hypertension (HT) prevalence have escalated in urban Africans. Psychosocial stress and behavioural defensive coping (DefS) have been depicted as important contributory factors ... -
Neuro-fuzzy techniques for intelligent control
(North-West University, 2006)In this study the utilization of neuro-fuzzy techniques is investigated for the realisation of intelligent control. Neuro-fuzzy systems combine the learning capabilities of neural networks with the rule based system ... -
Neurobiological approaches to a better understanding of human nature and human values
(2006)The most important finding made in the field of neurobiological research during the last decade is the discovery of the enormous experience-dependent plasticity of the human brain. The elaboration and stabilization of ... -
Neurochemical differences in two rat strains exposed to social isolation rearing
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2012)Objective: Isolation rearing of rats provides a non-pharmacological method of inducing behavioural changes in rodents that resemble schizophrenia or depression. Nevertheless, results are variable within different strains. ... -
Neurodegenerasie en neurobeskerming / Jacobus Johannes Bergh

Neurodevelopmental animal models reveal the convergent role of neurotransmitter systems, inflammation, and oxidative stress as biomarkers of schizophrenia: implications for novel drug development
(ACS, 2015)Schizophrenia is a life altering disease with a complex etiology and pathophysiology, and although antipsychotics are valuable in treating the disorder, certain symptoms and/or sufferers remain resistant to treatment. ... -
A neurodevelopmental movement programme for 4–8 year old hearing impaired children in the rural QwaQwa region of South Africa
(North-West University, 2012)Being hearing impaired does not only affect a child’s academic performance, but can also influence a child’s overall development and ability to succeed academically. Evidence suggests that the outlay in early childhood has ... -
Neuromuscular changes and the rapid adaptation following a bout of damaging eccentric exercise
(Wiley, 2017)Introduction An initial bout of eccentric exercise is known to protect against muscle damage following a repeated bout of the same exercise; however, the neuromuscular adaptations owing to this phenomenon are unknown. Aim To ... -
Neuromuscular fatigue and recovery after heavy resistance, jump, and sprint training
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018)Purpose Training methods that require maximal intensity efforts against light and heavy resistance are commonly used for athletic development. Typically, these sessions are separated by at least 48 h recovery on the ... -
Neuromuscular response differences to power vs strength back squat exercise in elite athletes
(Wiley, 2015)The study’s aim was to establish the neuromuscular responses in elite athletes during and following maximal ‘explosive’ regular back squat exercise at heavy, moder- ate, and light loads. Ten elite track and field ... -
Neuroprogression in schizophrenia: pathways underpinning clinical staging and therapeutic corollaries
(Sage, 2014)Objective: Whilst dopaminergic dysfunction remains a necessary component involved in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia, our current pharmacological armoury of dopamine antagonists does little to control the negative ... -
Neuroprotective effects of amantadine–flavonoid conjugates
(North-West University, 2011)Neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease affect millions of people around the world. Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of neurodegenerative disorders, cancer ... -
The neuropsychological and academic consequences of repeated mild and very mild traumatic brain injuries in rugby at a secondary school
(North-West University, 2006)Introduction-Physical activity can reduce the risk of contracting many of the 'diseases of the sedentary', such as coronary heart disease and cancer (Blair et al., 1996). Recognition of this protective effect has led to ... -
Neuropsychological assessment of elite level rugby players and the relationship with on-field performance
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)Rugby is regarded as one of the most popular professional team sports in the world and characterized by various high-intensity activities such as sprints, accelerations from a static position, rucking, mauling, tackling ... -
Neuropsychological executive functioning and psychosocial well-being
(North-West University, 2005)The aim of this study was to come to a better understanding of possible neuropsychological mechanisms underlying psycho-social well-being and therefore to determine whether a relationship between neuropsychological executive ... -
Neurovascular plasticity of the hippocampus one week after a single dose of ketamine in genetic rat model of depression
(Wiley, 2016)Glutamatergic system and the structural plasticity hypothesis are principal components for rapid and sustained antidepressant effects of novel antidepressant therapeutics. This study represents the first investigation of ... -
Neutral hydrogen and magnetic fields in M83 observed with the SKA Pathfinder KAT-7
(Oxford Univ Press, 2016)We present new KAT-7 observations of the neutral hydrogen (H i) spectral line, and polarized radio continuum emission, in the grand-design spiral M83. These observations provide a sensitive probe of the outer-disc structure ... -
Neutron activation characterization of the chemical elements in preparation for nuclear reactor decommissioning
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)At nuclear reactor facilities, intense neutron radiation fields are encountered inside and around reactor vessels. Engineering materials exposed to the neutron field absorb neutrons in nuclear reactions, and radioisotopes ...
