The semantic database model as a basis for an automated database design tool
(University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 1983)The automatic database design system is a design aid for network database creation. It obtains a requirements specification from a user and generates a prototype database. This database is compatible with the Data Definition ...

The response of the lower stratosphere to zonally symmetric thermal and mechanical forcing.
(American Meteorological SocietyJournal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2016-04-15)The response of the atmosphere to zonally symmetric applied heating and mechanical forcing is considered, allowing for the fact that the response may include a change in the wave force (or ‘wave drag’). A scaling argument ...

The double peak in upwelling and heating in the tropical lower stratosphere.
(American Meteorological SocietyJournal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2016-04-15)The processes responsible for double peak latitudinal structures in the time averaged tropical lower stratospheric upwelling, centred near 70hPa and 20º N–S, previously noted in ERA-Interim and other reanalysis and model ...

Refactoring learning management systems for multi-device use in developing countries
(University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 2015)Although learning management systems (LMSs) have been widely adopted by universities in developing countries, their potential to support students' learning has not been fully exploited due to several factors. Some of the ...

Marginalization and conditioning for LWF chain graphs
(Institute of Mathematical StatisticsAnnals of Statistics, 2016-08)In this paper, we deal with the problem of marginalization over and conditioning on two disjoint subsets of the node set of chain graphs (CGs) with the LWF Markov property. For this purpose, we define the class of chain ...

Supporting mobile developers through a Java IDE
(University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 2008)There exist several challenges in supporting mobile applications. For example, creating a separate target application for each device type, leaving developers with a huge maintenance chore. Most desktop applications run ...

Twisting algebraically special solutions in five dimensions
(Institute of PhysicsClassical and Quantum Gravity, 2016)We determine the general form of the solutions of the five-dimensional vacuum Einstein equations with cosmological constant for which (i) the Weyl tensor is everywhere type II or more special in the null alignment ...

D-modules on rigid analytic spaces I
(De GruyterJournal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik, 2016)We introduce a sheaf of infinite order differential operators D on smooth rigid analytic spaces that is a rigid analytic quantisation of the cotangent bundle. We show that the sections of this sheaf over sufficiently small ...

Scaffolding java programming on a mobile phone for novice learners
(University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 2015)The ubiquity of mobile phones provides an opportunity to use them for learning programming beyond the classroom. This would be particularly useful for novice learners of programming in resource- constrained environments. ...

Multiwavelength study of 20 jets that emanate from the periphery of active regions
(EDP SciencesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2016-04-15)$\textit{Aims}$. We present a multiwavelength analysis of 20 EUV jets which occurred at the periphery of active regions close to sunspots. We discuss the physical parameters of the jets and their relation with other phenomena ...

Measuring the efficiency of software development in a data processing environment
(University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 1982)The development of software for data processing systems has, during the last 25 years, grown into a large industry. Thus the efficiency of the software development process is of major importance. It is indicative of the ...

Structured light enables biomimetic swimming and versatile locomotion of photoresponsive soft microrobots
(Nature Publishing GroupNature Materials, 2016-02-15)Microorganisms move in challenging environments by periodic changes in body shape. In contrast, current artificial microrobots cannot actively deform, exhibiting at best passive bending under external fields. Here, by ...
