Journal Article
Wright, H., Hall, S., Hames, A., Hardiman, J., Burgess, A., Team, P., Mills, R., & Mills, D. (2016). Effects of Pet Dogs for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and their Families: Expectations versus reality. Human-Animal Interactions, 4(2), 38 - 58. https://doi.org/10.1079/hai.2016.0009

Previous studies have examined the specific benefits of therapy and assistance dogs on children with autism, but until recently only anecdotes existed concerning the benefits of pet dogs. We conducted structured interviews with 40 parents of children...

Posthumanism and educational research for sustainable futures (2016)
Journal Article
Kruger, F. (2016). Posthumanism and educational research for sustainable futures. Journal of Education (University KwaZulu-Natal), 65(SAERA 2015 Conference Special Issue), https://doi.org/10.17159/i65a04

Karen Barad’s (2007) concept of intra-action and Rosi Braidotti’s (2013) nomadic posthumanism are employed in this article to problematise the notion of educational research for sustainable futures. In rejecting the hierarchical dualism of Cartesian... Read More about Posthumanism and educational research for sustainable futures.

Preparation of students with disabilities to graduate into professions in the South African context of higher learning: Obstacles and opportunities (2016)
Journal Article

Background: Persons with disabilities continue to be excluded from professions in South Africa despite legislation on non-discrimination and equity.

Objectives: We sought to identify both the opportunities and obstacles that students with disabil... Read More about Preparation of students with disabilities to graduate into professions in the South African context of higher learning: Obstacles and opportunities.

Les premières explorations de l'utilisation des ordinateurs dans le domaine du design 1 ont débuté dans les années 1960, près de trente ans avant que le « tournant numérique » (digital turn) ne s'empare du champ de la production architecturale. À cet... Read More about Dessiner avec l’ordinateur dans les années soixante : le design et ses pratiques à l’aube de l’ère numérique.

Supporting data for "Deep Machine Learning provides state-of-the-art performance in image-based plant phenotyping" (2016)
Data
(2016). Supporting data for "Deep Machine Learning provides state-of-the-art performance in image-based plant phenotyping". [Data]. https://doi.org/10.5524/100343

In plant phenotyping, it has become important to be able to measure many features on large image sets in order to aid genetic discovery. The size of the datasets, now often captured robotically, often precludes manual inspection; hence the motivation...

Counter-Normative Identities: Religious Young Adults Subverting Sexual Norms (2016)
Book Chapter
Page, S.-J. (2016). Counter-Normative Identities: Religious Young Adults Subverting Sexual Norms. In F. Stella, Y. Taylor, T. Reynolds, & A. Rogers (Eds.), Sexuality, Citizenship and Belonging: Trans-National and Intersectional Perspectives. Taylor & Francis

The twenty-first century is often invoked as a period of greater sexual freedom, with restraint and traditionalism partitioned to the past. The new rights accorded to LGBTQ groups and women have cemented such a perception. But whilst some theorists (...

Grassmann variables and pseudoclassical Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (2016)
Journal Article
Damion, R. A. (2016). Grassmann variables and pseudoclassical Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. Diffusion Fundamentals, 26, 1-23

The concept of a propagator is useful and is a well-known object in diffusion NMR experiments. Here, we investigate the related concept; the propagator for the magnetization or the Green's function of the Torrey-Bloch equations. The magnetization pro...

3D segmentation of the whole heart vasculature using improved multi-threshold Otsu and white top-hat scale space hessian based vessel filter (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bukenya, F., Ehling, J., Kalema, A. K., Eyoh, I., Robert, J., & Bai, L. (2016, December). 3D segmentation of the whole heart vasculature using improved multi-threshold Otsu and white top-hat scale space hessian based vessel filter. Presented at 2016 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (SSCI), Athens, Greece

Quantification of vessel density helps to know the stage of the disease during diagnosis and patient's response to treatment. However, this requires presence of all vessels in the image. The available segmentation techniques that are manual based are...
