Accelerated dry-stack masonry construction is seen all over the world in the last two decades. Intense investigation on structural behaviour of dry-stack masonry is also seen worldwide. This research work, presents an ...

Aim Stress among healthcare workers (HCWs) working with HIV/AIDS patients is an important deterrent to provision of services to HIV patients. The main aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of stress levels ...

The deformation behaviour and dislocation substructure of crystalline solids is attributed to the physical processes of dislocation passing obstacles. The energy needed to overcome an obstacle, i.e. an impurity, atom, ...

Abstract The onslaught of neoliberal globalisation has transformed the role of trade unions in society as they, in collaboration with other civil society groups, take a leading role in issues affecting them at work as ...

The Vredefort Dome is located southwest of Johannesburg, South Africa, and represents the deeply eroded remnant of the central uplift of the world’s largest known impact structure, with an estimated diameter of ~300 km. ...

The area around New Consort Gold Mine (NCGM) is complexly deformed during at least 5 distinct events named D1NC – D5NC. D1NC - D3NC events involve progressive shearing and folding linked to the 3250-3225 Ma accretionary history ...

Structural Equations Models (SEMs) are now widely used almost in every discipline of research. Most of the existing materials for the Namibian macroeconomic models are studies of the well documented time series approach. ...

ABSTRACT As industries are upgrading rapidly from a lower steel grade to higher ones it has become necessary to study the effect of changing from lower steel grades to higher grades. This thesis reports on fatigue life ...

The aim of investigating the 2D PbX6 inorganic organic hybrids was to study octahedral distortions, short interlayer spacing’s, and the effect of functionalized aliphatic’s terminal halogen on idealizing or destabilizing ...
