Food-based dietary guidelines promote consumption of a variety of nutritious foods for optimal health and prevention of chronic disease.However, adherence to these guidelines is challenging because of high food costs.The present study aimed to determine the nutrient density of foods relative to cost in South Africa, with the aim to identify foods w

This paper proposes a fully distributed fixed-time control approach fulfilling the economic operation of DC microgrids (MGs) and considering time delays.A distributed cost optimizer is developed for maintaining MG’s economical operation through equalizing DGs’ incremental costs (ICs) while addressing DGs’ capacity limits within

Within the framework of Coolers limit design applied to masonry structures, this paper aims at analyzing the different behavior of a pavilion dome according to the adopted construction and reinforcement technologies.By using the static theorem applied to the dome discretized in rigid macro-blocks of variable shape aligned along parallels and meridi

Traditional visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) systems rely on point features to estimate camera trajectories.However, feature-based systems are usually not robust in complex environments such as weak textures or obvious brightness changes.To solve this problem, we used more environmental structure information by introducing line s

The militarisation of university campuses in South African has DRY led to the promotion of the use of violence and force against students.During the national student protests in 2015-2017 university management and the South African Police Service (SAPS) used militarisation and force which perpetuated violence on campuses.By understanding the state
