    Scantlebury, David M.; Mills, Michael G.L. (Gus); Wilson, Rory P.; Wilson, John W.; Mills, Margaret E. J.; Durant, Sarah M.; Bennett, Nigel Charles; Bradford, Peter; Marks, Nikki J.; Speakman, John R. (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2014-10)
    Population viability is driven by individual survival, which in turn depends on individuals balancing energy budgets. As carnivores may function close to maximum sustained power outputs, decreased food availability or ...
  • A flexible factor analysis based on the class of mean-mixture of normal distributions 
    Hashemi, Farzane; Naderi, Mehrdad; Jamalizadeh, Ahad; Bekker, Andriette, 1958- (Elsevier, 2021-05)
    Factor analysis is a statistical technique for data reduction and structure detection that traditionally relies on the normality assumption for factors. However, due to the presence of non-normal features such as asymmetry ...
  • Flexible factor model for handling missing data in supervised learning 
    Bekker, Andriette, 1958-; Hashemi, Farzane; Arashi, Mohammad (Springer, 2023-06)
    This paper presents an extension of the factor analysis model based on the normal mean–variance mixture of the Birnbaum–Saunders in the presence of nonresponses and missing data. This model can be used as a powerful tool ...
  • Flexible finite automata-based algorithms for detecting microsatellites in DNA 
    De Ridder, Corne (University of Pretoria, 2010-09-13)
    Apart from contributing to Computer Science, this research also contributes to Bioinformatics, a subset of the subject discipline Computational Biology. The main focus of this dissertation is the development of a data-analytical ...
  • A flexible model of education in public administration 
    Brynard, P.A. (Petrus) (Association of Teachers in Public Administration, 2004-10)
    In keeping abreast with the international developments in tertiary training, a new educational model for Public Administration was developed for the University of Pretoria. This model is based on a vision of flexible ...
  • Flexible network management and application service adaptability in software defined wireless sensor networks 
    Modieginyane, Kgotlaetsile Mathews; Malekian, Reza; Letswamotse, Babedi Betty (Springer, 2019-04)
    The need for highly responsive and adaptable computing systems is essential in today’s network computing age. This is principally due to the drastic evolution in broad computing platforms operating at highly descriptive ...
  • Flexible network management in software defined wireless sensor networks for monitoring application systems 
    Modieginyane, Kgotlaetsile Mathews (University of Pretoria, 2018-02)
    Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are the commonly applied information technologies of modern networking and computing platforms for application-specific systems. Today’s network computing applications are faced with high ...
  • Flexible pavement performance and life cycle assessment incorporating climate change impacts 
    Blaauw, Sheldon Alfred; Maina, J.W. (James); Mturi, Georges A.J.; Visser, Alex T. (Elsevier, 2022-04)
    Construction, maintenance and demolition of pavements are often considered the only activities impacting the environment. This paper shows that user emissions, influenced by factors such as road roughness and climate change, ...
  • A flexible Pcell-driven design flow for mm-wave on-chip passives 
    Stander, Tinus; IEEE International Microwave and RF Conference (2015 : Hyderabad, India) (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2015-12)
    On-chip EM modeling at mm-wave frequencies requires design methods that incorporate the layout and verification macros of IC EDA tools with parameterized EM CAD. We propose a novel, flexible design flow for 3D EM modeling ...
