چکیده
The goal of this paper is to review the status of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in South Africa today. The formation and development of CHI-SA, the South African chapter of ACM SIGCHI, is discussed together with the role this organization is playing in encouraging and fostering HCI in Southern Africa.

The Role of HCI Design Patterns in Software Development in South Africa
This paper will discuss the role of HCI design patterns in software development in South Africa. The concept of a design pattern, whilst popular in several other fields including architecture and software engineering, is relatively new to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). The potential of pattern languages as a vehicle for the dissemination of HCI design knowledge is becoming widely recognized ...
متن کاملNew Shewhart-type synthetic bar{X} control schemes for non-normal data
In this paper, Burr-type XII ̄X synthetic schemes are proposed as an alternative to the classical ̄X synthetic schemes when the assumption of normality fails to hold. First, the basic design of the Burr-type XII ̄X synthetic scheme is developed and its performance investigated using exact formulae. Secondly, the non-side-sensitive and side-sensitive Burr-type XII ̄X synthetic schemes are int...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Functionalization of Polyethersulfone: A New Approach for pH-Responsive Microfiltration Membranes with Enhanced Antifouling Properties
In this work, 2,2’-azo-bis-butyronitrile (AIBN) was exploited as an initiator for the successful bulk heterogeneous functionalization of polyethersulfone (PES) using polymethacrylic acid (PMAA), for the first time. To this end, pH-responsive and exceptionally low fouling membranes of extremely low grafting degrees with low adhesion and high rejection of protein were fabricated. An added advanta...
متن کاملMicrobial Quality of Ready-to-Eat Street Vended Food Groups Sold in the Johannesburg Metropolis, South Africa
Background: In many developing countries, the risk of contracting a food-borne disease is high after consuming contaminated ready-to-eat Street-Vended Foods (SVFs). The main objective of this research was to assess the microbiological quality of SVF groups sold in the Johannesburg Metropolis, South Africa. Methods: A stratified random sampling procedure was used for collecting the ready-to-eat...
متن کاملA New Technique of Reduce Differential Transform Method to Solve Local Fractional PDEs in Mathematical Physics
In this manuscript, we investigate solutions of the partial differential equations (PDEs) arising inmathematical physics with local fractional derivative operators (LFDOs). To get approximate solutionsof these equations, we utilize the reduce differential transform method (RDTM) which is basedupon the LFDOs. Illustrative examples are given to show the accuracy and reliable results. Theobtained ...
