Because coelacanths have a unique spot pattern it was possible to quickly and accurately identify specific individuals photographically using computer-aided identification software. Without any manual intervention by an operator the software accurately identified between 56 and 92% of the individuals. Identification success increased to 100% if the operator could also manually select from other potential matching photographs. It was also shown that fish exhibiting a yaw angle not exceeding 60° could be accurately identified in photographs. Each of the sections presented in this thesis represent a possible step towards analysing coelacanth-related habitats, locating and then analysing new habitats. Steps include first locating a population and then performing a habitat analysis. Coelacanth location within the different habitats can then be determined allowing the development of predictive models to potentially identify possible locations of new populations. The final step is to identify individual fish within the population for assessing demographic parameters and population monitoring.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 23:21:26 SAST ]]> The valuation of amounts for the purpose of inclusion in gross income https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:887 Wed 12 May 2021 23:18:43 SAST ]]> GPF : a framework for general packet classification on GPU co-processors https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4661 Wed 12 May 2021 23:13:02 SAST ]]> The effect of dietary fish oil replacement with soybean oil on growth and health of dusky kob, Argyrosomus japonicus (Pisces: Sciaenidae) https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5272 Wed 12 May 2021 23:00:16 SAST ]]> Investigating factors inhibiting the implementation of IQMS in a South African school https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1586 Wed 12 May 2021 22:59:08 SAST ]]> The structural arrangements in local government and their role in promoting community participation in basic service delivery: a case study of Emalahleni and Intsika Yethu local municipalities in the Chris Hani District Municipality area https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3315 Tue 27 Sep 2022 14:52:04 SAST ]]> An investigation into the use of traditional Xhosa dance to teach mathematics: a case study in a Grade 7 class https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1617 Thu 27 Jul 2023 12:44:46 SAST ]]> Emancipatory spaces in the post-colony : South Africa and the case for AbM and UPM https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2839 Thu 13 May 2021 16:32:51 SAST ]]> A process-genre approach to teaching argumentative writing to grade nine learners https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1714 Thu 13 May 2021 10:03:21 SAST ]]> Investigating the impact of brand reputation on brand architecture strategies : a study on a South African automotive company https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1179 Thu 13 May 2021 08:17:54 SAST ]]> Investigating teaching and learning within three Eastern Cape reception year classrooms https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1589 Thu 13 May 2021 08:10:06 SAST ]]> The making of business news in Africa: a case study of Cameroon Tribune newspaper https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3487 Thu 13 May 2021 07:42:24 SAST ]]> The ichthyofauna of the Wilderness Lakes System, Western Cape, with particular emphasis on alien fish species and their establishment success https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5288 Thu 13 May 2021 07:30:27 SAST ]]> Literacy, orality and recontextualization in the parliament of the Republic of South Africa : an ethnographic study https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2384 Thu 13 May 2021 07:24:39 SAST ]]> Structural analysis of prodomain inhibition of cysteine proteases in plasmodium species https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4021 Thu 13 May 2021 07:22:37 SAST ]]> An investigation into constraints impacting on small micro and medium enterprises (SMMEs) access to finance in Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:783 Thu 13 May 2021 07:18:10 SAST ]]> Water quality dynamics in an experimental serial-use raceway and its effects on growth of South African abalone, Haliotis midae https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5335 Thu 13 May 2021 07:17:06 SAST ]]> The feeding and spatial ecology of cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) and lions (Panthera leo) in the Little Karoo, South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5693 Thu 13 May 2021 07:16:52 SAST ]]> A spatial and temporal analysis of the changes in alien macrophyte communities and a baseline assessment of the macroinvertebrates associated with Eurasian watermilfoil, Myriophyllum spicatum L.

of 10-15 % of the diet). The more depleted nitrogen signatures in the mussels relative to the barnacles and polychaetes possibly illustrated a stronger preference for autotrophic food. Polychaetes mainly consumed plant food sources (i.e. microalgae, macroalgae and detritus; high levels of i-18:0, 18:1n-9, 18:4n-3 and 20:5n-3) and displayed little omnivory (low levels of 20:1n-11 and 20:1n-9, low 18:1n-9/18:1n-7 ratios at ~0.4, intermediate δ¹⁵N values at ~9.1 ‰; zooplankton contribution of <10 % of the diet). The barnacles, mussels and polychaetes are all suspension-feeders, originally presumed to consume the same food sources. The variations observed among the species, therefore, may result from differences in the proportional contributions of the various food sources to their diets as well as distinctions in metabolism. The distinct changes in the fatty acid and stable isotope signatures in all three filter-feeders in the Kariega and Great Fish regions are likely influenced by the diversity in regional vegetation and hydrology in the different systems, combined with interspecific differences in resource partitioning among the species.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 04:32:19 SAST ]]> Touching Brýnstone https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2504 Thu 13 May 2021 04:31:01 SAST ]]> Research and development of a preliminary South African voluntary carbon standard for landscape restoration projects https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4748 Thu 13 May 2021 04:27:01 SAST ]]> The impact of clothing and protective gear on biophysical, physiological, perceptual and performance responses of rugby players during a simulated rugby protocol https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5124 0.05) differences for muscle activity between conditions, except for the semitendinosus muscle, which was significantly (p< 0.05) higher during the control condition while running at high speeds.

Performance responses were significantly (p< 0.05) lower during the experimental condition. Conclusion: The main driver of physiological and perceptual responses was the exercise itself. However, the additional clothing and protective gear exacerbated the responses, particularly towards the end stages of the protocol. This negatively impacted players‘ performance. Muscle activity appeared to be unaffected by increased body temperatures. However, core temperatures never reached critically high levels during either condition.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 04:19:45 SAST ]]> Enabling social learning as a response to environmental issues through
