Sensory flows of spice: a multisensory ethnography exploring how spice influences home cooks’ sense of belonging in Cape Town
The history of Cape Town is entangled with the spice trade, slavery, colonialism and orientalism. The Cape cuisine narratives often romanticize fixed cultural cuisines, as seen with the "Cape Malay" cuisine, which is only acknowledged for its connection to a spicy Asian origin story and celebrated …

MNA stamping for transient circuit simulation using SPICE
Simulation is an essential step in the circuit design procedure, helping to verify the behavior of a designed circuit and dramatically reducing the time and effort required for debugging a given design. However, to analyze this behavior, we require an interface between the circuit design and the …

The optimization of SPICE modeling parameters utilizing the Taguchi methodology
A new optimization technique for SPICE modeling parameters has been developed in this dissertation to increase the accuracy of the circuit simulation. The importance of having accurate circuit simulation models is to prevent the very costly redesign of an Integrated Circuit (IC). This radically new …

The frequency of scrounging by foraging spice finches affects flock geometry
… in flocks of ground-feeding granivorous spice finches, Lonchura punctulata. Individuals using the producer tactic may be more successful if they avoid others who may be scrounging. Conversely, scrounging individuals may be more successful if they are near potential producers. If this is …

Optimal Adaptations over Multi-Dimensional Adaptation Spaces with a Spice of Control Theory
(Self-)Adaptive software systems monitor the status of their requirements and adapt when some of these requirements are failing. The baseline for much of the research on adaptive software systems is the concept of a feedback loop mechanism that monitors the performance of a system relative to its …

Dry mixing of spice powders - investigation of effect of powder properties on mixture quality of binary powder mixtures
Dry mixing of binary food powders was conducted in a 2L lab-scale paddle mixer. Different types of food powders such as paprika, oregano, black pepper, onion powder and salt were used for the studies. A novel method based on a digital colour imaging system (DCI) was developed to measure the mixture …

Investigation on the Antioxidant Capabilities of Spice Extracts in Inhibition of Long Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Oxidation and Cholesterol
Antioxidant capabilities of the spice extract of ginger, oregano, rosemary and turmeric were evaluated by monitoring inhibition of DHA and EPA in a menhaden fish oil model and cholesterol oxidation model system. The spice extracts were mixed with the fish oil at 1, 2.5 and 5 % (w/w) and 1, 2.5 and …
