Local government in South Africa – Efficiencies revisited
Poor service delivery is the continuous song sung by monitoring bodies such as the Auditor Generals and service delivery riots have increased over the years. Efficiency refers to the fact that there should be no waste in the use of resources and that there is rationality in their use. In turn, …

Evaluation of the Recombination Efficiencies of FLP Proteins
… genetic engineering, the relative recombination efficiencies of FLPwt, FLPe and FLPo for marker gene excision from the transgene locus in rice were evaluated. FLPwt, FLPe, and FLPo transgenic rice lines were generated and FLP activity in these lines was evaluated. These experiments revealed that …

Investigating the sink efficiencies of interfaces under irradiation
Interfaces play an important role in material properties such as strength, cracking/fracture, work hardening, corrosion, and damage evolution under irradiation and deformation. Understanding interface-defect interactions that underlie these properties is a core motivation for studying interface …

Examining telecommunication industry efficiencies in light of regulatory reform
This Thesis examines Telecommunications Industry efficiencies in the face of recent regulatory reforms; Regulation was believed to be required because of the telecommunications industry's apparent natural monopoly. The promise of regulation was to act as a surrogate to competition in controlling …

Experimental evaluation of the efficiencies of certain non- parametric statistics
The purpose of this thesis is the determination of the efficiency of a particular small sample of observations and to gain therefrom an insight into the approximate efficiency of these rank order tests for small samples when the population means of the two groups differ by fixed amounts. This …
