The optical polarization variability of the blazar PKS 2155 304 by Peceur, Nicolette

“…Blazars are some of the most energetic and variable objects in the universe. Blazar emission has been detected across the electromagnetic spectrum and exhibits variability on a wide range of timescales, from minutes to years. …”

The impact of macroeconomic variables on the performance of selected African stock markets by Epalanga, Amarildo

“…The model showed that interest rate, which is inversely related to stock prices, isthe only significant variable in explaining stock prices in Egypt. In Mauritius, it wasfound that only three factors significantly affect stock prices, namely, exchange rate, gold price, and inflation. …”

Long-term climate variability at the Prince Edward Islands in the Southern Ocean by Shangheta, Anna Liisa Penelao Tulimevava

“…The change in decadal variability a decrease in air pressure of 4 hPa since the late 1990s to late 2000s, which coincided with a decrease in minimum and maximum air temperatures of 1°C over the same period; decrease in westerly wind and an increase in the northerly component of the wind, which would explain the decrease of inshore sea surface temperature a while thereafter. …”

Personality as an antecedent of work-family conflict : a variable- and person-centred approach by Omrawo, Charlene

“…Two conceptual approaches to personality were employed: a variable-centred approach using the Big-Five personality dimensions (Costa & McCrae, 1992) and a person-centred approach using Asendorpf and Aken's personality prototypes (1999). …”

The role of short-term atmospheric variability in shaping Lagrangian transport in the Southern Benguela by Ragoasha, Moagabo Natalie

“…The latter must be adapted so that it does not filter out the ocean response to the high frequency atmospheric forcing. To explain the Lagrangian transports, as a first approach, the transport success was linked to the variability of the ocean circulation.…”

Detection and identification of mechanisms and trends of sea ice drift variability in the Southern Ocean by De Jager, Wayne

“…Temporal resolution limits are particularly pronounced when studying the effect of transient weather phenomena, such as polar and extra-tropical cyclones, which are major drivers of short-term sea-ice variability. This thesis presents a systematic investigation into the weather-induced rotation dynamics in Antarctic sea ice, with a focus on the feasibility of quantifying hourly-to-daily sea-ice concentration and drift variability. …”

Intra-seasonal variability of Southern Ocean primary production: the role of storms and mesoscale turbulence by Nicholson, Sarah-Anne

“…At the local-scale, such storm-eddy dynamics may greatly increase the intra-seasonal variability of primary production, a step towards helping to explain why this variability is so strong in large regions of the Southern Ocean. …”

Investigating the effects of environmental variables on martial eagle breeding performance in the Kruger National Park by Van Der Merwe, Daryl

“…In this study, we aim to explore which environmental variables (e.g. climate, land cover, tree cover, fire and elephant abundance) within each territory correlated with martial eagle breeding performance in the hope that we may better understand which variables affect martial eagles breeding performance and whether these may have changed over time to cause the low levels of fecundity presently seen within KNP. …”

Understanding the interannual variability of pCO2 in the sea-ice impacted Southern Ocean by Jojo, Bongiwe

“…Non-thermal drivers primarily explain the variability of pCO2. These results suggest that the leading causes of the interannual variability of pCO2 in the sea ice-impacted Southern Ocean are those associated with non-thermal drivers of pCO2.…”
