Investigating the impacts of donkeys on a communal range in Namaqualand: how much does a donkey "cost" in goat units? by Vetter, Susanne

“…The degree of competition between goats and donkeys was investigated by predicting daily food intake using a model based on ruminant and non-ruminant digestion, which takes into account the animal's body weight and digestibility characteristics of its diet. …”

Wind plant annual energy production maximisation and efficiency improvement with considerations for thrust and turbulence intensity by Charles, Mfon Okokon

“…In addition to implementing a thrust coefficient-constrained WP power maximisation to manage turbine thrust coefficient and thrust, a novel upstream sectored implementation of a well-studied wake model is applied to improve the mean wind speeds at turbine positions, by eliminating upstream turbines' wake effects at a downstream turbine based on their axial and radial distances from the downstream turbine, and furthermore, based on their axial induction factors. …”
