advisors in improving the welfare of their ...
The selective detection of gaseous benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene
(BTEX) is challenging due to their similar molecular structures. In addition, BTEX
vapours are extremely hazardous and carcinogenic. Thus, ...
The oxide garnet Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) exhibits high Li-ion conductivity and chemical stability
when in contact with lithium metal anodes, making it a promising solid electrolyte for Li-based
batteries. The tetragonal ...
South Africa is known globally for its rich floral biodiversity. A number of the country’s indigenous plants are commercialised and grown worldwide. An increased interest in growing drought-tolerant plants due to limited ...
The rising amount of fraud in claims has been of great concern to the insurance companies. In this research work, we developed two machine learning models namely, Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Random Forest for ...
Since 1994, the South African government has prioritised rapid economic growth. Despite theorists’ contradicting views, the country considered the global market as one of the gateways to accelerated economic growth. In the ...
