Re-engaging Driver Attention using ChatGPT: A Multimodal Study on Stress Impact and Driving Performance by Elfiqi, Alaa Zaki

“…With the current advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) and their ability to engage in human-like interaction, this study investigates the potential of using ChatGPT, designed to speak Egyptian Arabic, in re-engaging driver attention under different driving scenarios for low-stress and high-stress conditions within a virtual reality (VR) environment driving simulator. …”

Hierarchical decision making patterns for the placement of physical supply chain entities by Phiroz, Zal Navroze

“…The proposed relationships were evaluated using rigorous statistical analysis including factor analysis and structural equation modelling. Results indicated the existence of a clear sequence in decision structure, with a measurable pattern of priority placed on specific decision criteria. …”

Vegetation and microbial determinants of soil carbon isotopic composition by Nel, Jacques A

“…Microbial processing of SOM during decomposition leads to ¹³C-enrichement of SOM with depth and has been modelled using a Rayleigh distillation process. Anaplerotic fixation of soil CO₂ is, however, known to occur in microbes and roots and we suggest that this has a role in determining soil SOM δ¹³C values through cumulative incorporation of bulk atmosphere CO₂ into SOM. …”

Patterns of plant species richness and diversity across two habitat types in the Upper Karoo, South Africa by Petersen, Hana

“…These plant associations were interspersed with each other when plotted spatially, and occurred in a repeating pattern in plains habitats across the study area. Multiple regression models indicated that a combination of climatic and environmental variables, and soil properties significantly predicted overall species richness and relative cover of the five dominant growth forms. …”

Participant profiles and symptom responses in the initial stages of a South African Mental health managed care programme by Hattingh, Leandri

“…Wilcoxon signed rank tests were used to determine the change in symptom severity between baseline and 10 weeks in those receiving intervention through the MMHP. Linear regression models were created to analyse the predictors of change in clinical scores. …”

The influence of Microhodotermes viator nest density and dispersion on ecological processes by Swanepoel, Juan

“…The reciprocal transplant experiment demonstrated significant transplant shock in seedlings and instead of growth, tolerance in different soil habitats was determined and species-specific tolerance responses were found for different organs of plants using multivariate regression models. Chapter 5 – Heuweltjies are typically associated with distinct plant communities. …”
