Many textbooks have diagrams illustrating astronomy concepts. However, research shows that sometimes learners struggle to obtain information illustrated in diagrams. This study investigated learners‘ ability to interpret ...
This dissertation principally analyses: (i) the privatisation of Zambia’s copper mines;
(ii) the impact of state and private ownership and control of the mines on development;
and (iii) the roles of mining TNCs in the ...
The faunal remains from five sites in the Makgabeng plateau, Limpopo Province were

This thesis provides a detailed study of the semi-variogram. Included is a
thorough presentation of the theory of semi-variograms, ranging from the
probabilistic model of geostatistics to validity, estimation and modelling ...
What factors determine the decision of a firm to participate in the export market? This paper
looks into the firm level determinants of both size and international trade. A more
comprehensive understanding of the forces ...
The theoretical investigation of the Optical Kerr Effect (OKE) and Third- Harmonic Generation (THG) of Au-VO2 nanocomposite thin-films undertaken in this project is motivated by the potential use of the Au-VO2 nanocomposite ...
The history of flux compression is relatively short. One of the founders, a
Russian physicist, Sakharov developed the idea of compressing a magnetic field
to generate high magnetic fields and from this he also developed ...
The concern over the issue of illegal immigration into South Africa has resulted in
widespread incidents of violent confrontation between the noted illegal immigrants and

Global warming has become a major topic for the public in recent years and many institutions
and industries have been pushed to find a ‘cure’ for it. The most wildly known culprit for
global warming is carbon dioxide and ...
Aim: This study aimed at calibrating a new set of GR-200A thermoluminescent
dosimeters (TLDs) in low and medium kilovoltage energy photon therapy beams and in a
diagnostic beam of known beam quality, in order to determine ...
The unabated exploitation of fossil fuel sources to provide the world with its energy demands has resulted in a dangerous increase in greenhouse gases and consequently global warming. Due to increased awareness and public ...
