Job satisfaction and employment equity in South Africa (2009)
Journal Article

This paper is the first to estimate job satisfaction equations in post-Apartheid South Africa. Absolute earnings contribute to greater job satisfaction. Racial group is also an important predictor of job satisfaction, but, when interacted with a prox... Read More about Job satisfaction and employment equity in South Africa.

Considering the implication of variations within Delphi research (2009)
Journal Article

Delphi research is an increasingly popular method within medical, social and psychological research. It tends to be employed where established theory or knowledge are lacking but where 'experts' are thought to hold relevant information. It consists o...

The role of redox mechanisms in cell signalling (2009)
Journal Article

Functioning and efficient cell signalling is vital for the survival of cells. Over the years various components have been identified and recognised as crucial for the transduction of signals in cells. Many of the mechanisms allow for a relatively rap...

Stability and efficiency of biofilms for landfill leachate treatment (2009)
Journal Article

The objective of this work was to assess the feasibility of a fixed-film biological aerated filtration process for the treatment of the leachate produced at Harnhill landfill site (South Gloucestershire, UK). The laboratory scale plant consisted of f... Read More about Stability and efficiency of biofilms for landfill leachate treatment.

Energy-minimizing coarse spaces for two-level Schwarz methods for multiscale PDEs (2009)
Journal Article

Two-level overlapping Schwarz methods for elliptic partial differential equations combine local solves on overlapping domains with a global solve of a coarse approximation of the original problem. To obtain robust methods for equations with highly va... Read More about Energy-minimizing coarse spaces for two-level Schwarz methods for multiscale PDEs.

Windage power losses from spiral bevel gears with varying oil flows and shroud configurations (2009)
Journal Article

In many aero-engines, the power to drive accessories is transmitted through high speed bevel gears in a chamber in the center of the engine. The windage power loss (WPL) associated with these gears makes a significant contribution to the overall heat... Read More about Windage power losses from spiral bevel gears with varying oil flows and shroud configurations.

The electrochemical behavior of nitrazepam at a screen-printed carbon electrode and its determination in beverages by adsorptive stripping voltammetry (2009)
Journal Article

The cyclic voltammetric behavior of nitrazepam was investigated at screen-printed carbon electrodes over the range1.5 V to {thorn}1.5 V. Two reduction peaks were observable on the negative scan, at 0.7 V, and 1.2 V using pH 6 buffer. On the return sc...

On dynamical genetic programming: Simple Boolean networks in learning classifier systems (2009)
Journal Article

Many representations have been presented to enable the effective evolution of computer programs. Turing was perhaps the first to present a general scheme by which to achieve this end. Significantly, Turing proposed a form of discrete dynamical system... Read More about On dynamical genetic programming: Simple Boolean networks in learning classifier systems.
