THE FACTORS AFFECTING THE ADOPTION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF E-MARKETING AMONGST FMCG RETAILERS IN ZIMBABWE
(IBC, 2021)FMCG retailers in Zimbabwe have been slow to embrace and adopt new technology in their marketing eff orts, as they still mainly focus on traditional marketing strategies (Dube & Gumbo 2017) This however did not ... -
Feasibility of cultivating Hartbeespoort Dam microalgae
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2011)Three cultivation experiments were conducted to grow microalgae in three consecutively scaled-up laboratory systems, which consisted of one, five and 135-litre bioreactors. The highest productivity achieved under optimum ... -
The feasibility of raising information security awareness in an academic environment using SNA
(Springer, 2018)The human aspect is one of the key success factors in information security (InfoSec). Its impact on InfoSec is so significant that multiple studies have shown that a balanced approach combining technology and security ... -
Fermentation of lignocellulosic biomass using ultrasonic pretreatment
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2014)The potential fermentation of the sugars derived from water hyacinth, sweet sorghum bagasse and amaranth using indirect ultrasonic pretreatment, was investigated. The optimum sugar and ethanol yield for the ultrasonic bath ... -
Field performance of ambient modal estimation in small signal stability
(IEEE, 2015)Small signal stability is one focus of Wide Area Measurement Systems (WAMS). WAMS systems are becoming more widespread, driven by availability of synchrophasor data from Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). In this paper, two ... -
Financial analysis of waste-to-energy grate incineration power plant for a small city
(IEEE, 2015)Grate incineration is a widely used waste-to-energy (WtE) technology, which has the potential of contributing significantly to clean energy production and sustainable waste management systems. Various research studies have ... -
Finding synergy between international leadership development initiatives: perspectives from the nutrition leadership programmes
(Karger, 2017)There is growing recognition that to address today’s nutritional problems there is a need for effective leaders in nutrition across sectors (academic, corporate, governmental and non-governmental), and at ... -
Finding the four qualities of intelligent industrial reporting
(Stellenbosch Univ, 2019)Internationally, innovation and technology are driving change through concepts such as ‘Industry 4.0’. However, due to various constraints, South Africa is lagging behind in this transformation. Furthermore, local ... -
Fingerprint matching on smart card: a review
(IEEE, 2017)Fingerprint Match-on-Card (MoC) offers the highest degree of privacy and security to cardholders as the fingerprint never leaves the secure environment of a smart card. The level of security of a biometric system is evaluated ... -

First record of the snapper-choking isopod Cymothoa excisa (Isopoda: Cymothoidae) parasitizing invasive lionfish Pterois volitans (Scorpaeniformes: Scorpaenidae)
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2018)Two female snapper-choking isopods Cymothoa excisa (body length 11 and 14 mm) were in the buccal cavity of two invasive lionfish Pterois volitans (total length 294 and 301 mm) collected in Alacranes Reef, southern Gulf of ... -
First year physics students' abilities and difficulties in solving kinematics problems in various contexts
(UNISA, 2014)The topic of students’ application of conceptual knowledge in physics is constantly being researched. It is a common occurrence that students are able to solve numerical problems without understanding the concepts involved. ... -
Flight controller and low-cost test environment for a simulated helicopter
(IFAC, 2014)In this paper, optimal linear control techniques are utilised to control a radio-controlled helicopter (30 size) in the AeroSIMRC simulation environment. A grey-box time-domain system identification method is used to ... -
The flow and heat transfer in a packed bed high temperature gas-cooled reactor
(ASME, 2010)Engineers are faced with two major challenges when carrying out the thermal-fluid design of a complex system consisting of many interacting components such as the PBMR power plant. The first challenge is to predict the ... -
Four novel methods for the harvesting of micro-algal biomass
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2011)The harvesting of micro-algal biomass is one of the most inefficient and costly steps in the whole biomass-to-liquids (BtL) value chain. Harvesting costs may contribute between 20–30% of the total cost of microalgal BtL ... -
Fourier-type monitoring procedures for strict stationarity
(Springer, 2018)We consider model-free monitoring procedures for strict stationarity of a given time series. The new criteria are formulated as L2-type statistics incorporating the empirical characteristic function. Monte Carlo results ...
