A comparative study between the cubic spline and b-spline interpolation methods in free energy calculations by Kaya, Hikmet Emre

“…In addition, the calculations have to be repeated for computing each partial derivative at the data point, leading to further slowdown. The B-spline interpolation is an alternative representation of the cubic spline method, where a spline interpolation at a point could be expressed as the linear combination of piecewise basis functions. …”

A study to determine the palliative care needs of patients with drug resistant tuberculosis in the Southern sub-district of Cape Town by Odell, Shannon

“…Conclusion: Despite the small cohort of patients and possible recruitment bias, this research concurred that a palliative care approach be adopted from the point of DR-TB diagnosis and throughout the treatment period – regardless of treatment outcome; and that DR-TB patients had significant unmet palliative care needs that affected their quality of life, functional status and dignity, regardless of whether pain was present.…”

Reduction of pollution levels in the Chatty River through Sustainable Drainage Systems: A case study of the Bethelsdorp River sub-catchment by Matalanga, Anabel

“…Rehabilitating the wetlands appeared to offer the most significant impact compared to the other regional SuDS interventions in Scenario 1 and 3, with a mean pollutant reduction of 30%. However, a combination of all the interventions had the highest pollutant removal when functioning efficiently of 72% and 80% for DIP and TSS, respectively. …”

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

“…Overall dissimilarity, and dissimilarity in the relative cover of five plant functional types between plains and slope habitats, were also predicted by a combination of climatic and environmental variables, and soil properties. …”

Phase diagram for the co-adsorption of O and OH on Pt(100) and Pt(111) as determined by DFT by Cilliers, Pierre Louis

“…To determine the obtainable coverages on the dominant Pt surfaces, namely Pt(100) and Pt(111), a Density Functional Theory (DFT) study was done using a GGA-PBE and GGA-optB88 model utilising VASP. …”
