A Qualitative Exploration of the Personal, Schooling and Structural Factors Contributing to High School Learner Dropout in Philippi by Vushe, Lovemore

“…School factors included overcrowded classrooms, poorly trained teachers, lack of learning materials and associated poor educational quality, long distances to school and the unsafe learning environments in which some schools were viewed as gang battle grounds also contributed to participants’ decisions to quit school. …”

Exploring the impact of (im)materiality on the literacy and meaning-making practices of first year students at a South African distance education institution: implications for supp... by Isaacs, Lynne

“…Drawing on Fairclough's (1992) model of Discourse, a critical discourse analysis of a key material object – the tutorial letter which is used for the mediation of the students' learning – was conducted to explore the ways in which students are positioned and its implications for power and access. …”

Automated detection and classification of red roman in unconstrained underwater environments using Mask R-CNN by Conrady, Christopher

“…The fact that the model performs equally well on unseen footage suggests that it is capable of generalising to new streams of data not used in this research – this is critical for the utility of any statistical model outside of “laboratory conditions”. …”

An integrated furnace co-simulation methodology based on a reduced order CFD approach by Rawlins, Brad

“…The aims of this study was: to develop a reduced order computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of the furnace and radiative heat exchangers that captures all the important particulate effects while using a Eulerian-Eulerian (EE) approach; using the reduced order CFD model to generate a database of results that covers a wide range of operating conditions; to develop a data-driven surrogate model using machine learning techniques; to integrate the surrogate model with a 1-D process model of the complete boiler; and finally to demonstrate the use of the integrated model to investigate flexible operation and off-design operating conditions. …”
