Modelling uncertainty of cost and time in infrastructure projects by Moghayedi, Alireza

“…The probability distribution function of cost and time were modelled using the lognormal and triangular probability distributions; while Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS), Copula analysis technique, the Markov processes, and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) analytical technique were used in modelling the variability of the cost and time activity, correlation between costs, time and cost-time activities, and to model the occurrence of disruptive events, so that the impact size of disruptive events on the cost and time of activities respectively, can be intelligently assessed. …”

Partnerships that support health systems resilience over time: a study of non-state, faith-based health providers in Africa by Maulit, Jolly Ann

“…In this study, resilience is understood from the socio-ecological lens applicable for complex adaptive systems. Resilience therefore is not only the ability of a health system to address disturbances and restore its basic structures and functions, but also the ability of a health system to transform or re-organise in response to a disturbance if the current system is no longer tenable for the context. …”

Once upon a time in the veld: South Africa westerns in context by Lapa Petit, Andre Ricardo

“…The study also concludes that the narrative and aesthetic structure of all South African westerns reveal larger socio-political trends at work during their inception. In this way they function as indirect chronicles of the country's history and its relation to the world, alluding to cultural norms, popular beliefs and governmental mindsets. …”

Digging deeper for benefits: rural local governance and the livelihood and sustainability outcomes of devils claw (Harpagophytum spp.) harvesting in the Zambezi Region, Namibia by Lavelle, Jessica-Jane

“…The novelty in using a political ecology approach to develop adaptive governance theory was to move beyond understandings of the conscious mechanisms of institutions embodied in their structure, to a more nuanced understanding of socially-embedded institutions and the unconscious mechanisms that also determine social and environmental outcomes. …”

Low-Complexity Algorithms for Channel Estimation in Optimised Pilot-Assisted Wireless OFDM Systems by Golovins, Eugene

“…These properties and relatively simple functional representation of the derived analytical PDR expressions are designated to alleviate the challenging task of on-the-fly optimisation of the adaptive SM-MIMO-OFDM system, which is capable of adjusting transmit signal configuration (e.g., block length, number of pilot subcarriers or antennas) according to the established channel conditions.…”

Resilience by Design: A Multi-Metric Assessment of Urban Vulnerability across Human-Centric, Built, and Climatic Environment Dimensions by Abdelhady, Karim

“…Resilient urban systems are not only those that withstand shocks, but also those that ensure the long-term well-being, equity, and functionality of their environments. As such, advancing the capacity to systematically evaluate resilience across spatial and temporal scales is critical to informing adaptive, forward-looking planning strategies. …”

Modelling computer network traffic using wavelets and time series analysis by Ntlangu, Mbulelo Brenwen

“…This is primarily due to the ever-increasing complexity of network traffic and the different ways in which a network may be excited by user activity. The ongoing development of new network applications, protocols, and usage profiles further necessitate the need for models which are able to adapt to the specific networks in which they are deployed. …”
