Addressing traffic congestion and throughput through optimization.
(2021)Traffic congestion experienced in port precincts have become prevalent in recent years for South Africa and internationally [1, 2, 3]. In addition to the environmental impacts of air pollution due to this challenge, ... -
Automatic dental caries detection in bitewing radiographs.
(2022)Dental Caries is one of the most prevalent chronic disease around the globe. Distinguishing carious lesions has been a challenging task. Conventional computer aided diagnosis and detection methods in the past have heavily ... -
New models in general relativity and Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity.
(2021)We generate the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet field equations in five dimensions for a spherically symmetric static spacetime. The matter distributions considered are both neutral and charged. The introduction of a coordinate ... -
Facial expression recognition and intensity estimation.
(2022)Facial Expression is one of the profound non-verbal channels through which human emotion state is inferred from the deformation or movement of face components when facial muscles are activated. Facial Expression Recognition ... -
Role of Weyl tensor and spacetime shear in relativistic fluids.
(2021)The main gravitational theory in which we develop this work is general relativity. We study the role of the Weyl tensor in general relativistic fluid motion including the e↵ects of spacetime shear. Firstly we consider ... -
Co-morbidity of childhood anaemia and malaria with a district-level spatial effect.
(2021)Anaemia and malaria are the leading causes of sub-Saharan African childhood morbidity and mortality. This thesis aimed to explore the risk factors as well as the complex relationship between anaemia and malaria in young ... -
Using machine learning techniques to identify strong gravitational lensing systems in DES.
(2021)Gravitational lensing systems enable astronomers to look into the distant universe by magnifying distant objects. Strong gravitational lensing systems are an incredibly rare phenomenon, with only a total about 1; 000 ... -
Statistical models to analyse a baseline survey on rural KwaZulu-Natal adults’ HIV prevalence and associated risk factors.
(2020)South Africa is at the global epicentre of the HIV-AIDS pandemic. Though there has been an increase in prevention and control measures that has led to a significant reduction in HIV-AIDS mortality rates globally, South ... -
Risk factors and classification of diabetes in South Africa.
(2019)Diabetes prevalence has been seen to be on the increase in recent years, globally and in South Africa. The number of people with diabetes globally has risen from 108 million in 1980 to 442 million in 2014. It was estimated ... -
Modelling depression in South Africa.
(2020)Depression is considered to be the leading cause of disability worldwide, with approximately 350 million individuals, of all ages, affected. The mental disorder is predominant in females and poverty is associated with ... -
Joint modelling of child poverty and malnutrition in children aged 6 to 59 months in Malawi.
(2019)The objective of this study was to identify risk factors associated with poverty and malnutrition of children among the ages 6-to-59 months in the country of Malawi, making use of the joint model. By joint modelling, we ... -
Statistical analysis of the school attendance rate among under 20 South African learners.
(2020)School attendance is very crucial for the growth and development of the mindset of a child. The development of the mindset and provision of training to learners is an investment of a better future for the country. The ... -
Factors associated with teenage pregnancy in Malawi.
(2020)Teenage pregnancy is a challenge that society at large is faced with. This challenge is experienced primarily in developing countries, where an estimated 21 million girls aged between 15 and 19 years old become pregnant, ... -

Iterative schemes for approximating common solutions of certain optimization and fixed point problems in Hilbert spaces.
(2021)In this dissertation, we introduce a shrinking projection method of an inertial type with self-adaptive step size for finding a common element of the set of solutions of Split Gen- eralized Equilibrium Problem (SGEP) and ... -
