Mathematical Modeling and Optimization of Water Efficiency in Residential Buildings by Amin, Mahmoud

“…The number of residents and the annual increase of water tariffs factors showed the most significant impact on the total annual worth accounting for 55% and 43.7% of total variability, respectively. Furthermore, The model was validated by comparing its results with a previous study conducted in the United Kingdom, where the developed model led to a significant reduction in the lifecycle cost of the decentralized water system in residential buildings and attained freshwater savings of 58.17%.…”

An exploration of South Africa's wind climate using station records and reanalysis data by Argent, Brendan

“…The raw CFSR data overestimates wind speeds and underestimates the temporal variability and long-term trends. A bias correction method based on the wind speed and direction, time of day and month of the year is developed which successfully removes the mean error on wind speed and direction and improves the correlation with station records. …”

High throughput experimentation: a validation study for use in catalyst development by Luchters, Niels

“…It is of paramount importance to understand the variability of the data between these experiments. This is not always defined, specifically when literature gives contradictory results, most often due to the time for duplicate experiments necessary. …”

Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacogenetic-and-Pharmacodynamic Adherence Relationships in Cohort South African HIV Infected Children on Lopinavir-and Nevirapine-Based Regimens by Moholisa, Retsilisitsoe R

“…Lopinavir and nevirapine pharmacokinetics demonstrate considerable inter-individual variability, which may affect treatment outcomes. At least part of this variability may be explained by host genetic factors. …”

Fine-scale drivers of African Penguin prey dynamics in Algoa Bay, South Africa, and their impacts on penguin foraging ecology by Mcinnes, Alistair McIntyre

“…There is growing evidence that variation in the availability of their principle prey, pelagic shoaling fish, are driving this trend. This prey variability is driven by oceanographic factors as well as commercial purse-seine fishing operations. …”
