The main objective of this paper is to review the progress that has been made in South Africa with respect to whole-farm economic modelling over the past 2 decades. Farming systems are complex and careful consideration to the stochastic dynamic nature of irrigation farming processes and their linkages with the larger water system is necessary when conducting whole-farm modelling. Both simulatio...

The economic design is an appealing approach to settle the design parameters of a control chart. Unfortunately, the economic models to design control charts have been scarcely implemented by quality practitioners due to the simplifying assumptions when representing the multifaceted complexity and constraints present within manufacturing and transactional environments. Although there has been an...

The global prevalence of obesity is rising rapidly, highlighting the importance of understanding risk factors related to the condition. Childhood obesity, which has itself become increasingly prevalent, is an important predictor of adulthood obesity. Studies suggest that the protein content consumed in infanthood is an important predictor of weight gain in childhood, which may contribute to hig...

Industrial utility systems, traditionally the "poor forgotten cousin" of the processing industry, are now receiving the attention they deserve. While the thermodynamics and process models of utility systems are well established, the optimization of utility systems typically involves solving large-scale optimization problems including integer constraints, and hence are less commonly tackled. The...

Econometric models of the incidence of economic activity and employment by religion for females in Northern Ireland are presented. Particular attention is paid to family effects. Censored bivariate probit models are estimated for single women and significant religion effects are found. In the case of married women, possible endogeneity and logical coherency problems are overcome by modelling th...

GAMS (General Algebraic Modelling System) is a computer language which was originally developed to assist economists at the World Bank in the quantitative analysis of economic policy questions (Meeraus (1983), Brooke, Kendrick and Meeraus (1987)). At the time of its conception and initial development, linear programming (LP) was the standard framework in which market equilibrium models were con...

The complexity of risks posed by climate change and possible adaptations for crop production has called for integrated assessment and modelling (IAM) approaches linking biophysical and economic models. This paper attempts to provide an overview of the present state of crop modelling to assess climate change risks to food production and to which extent crop models comply with IAM demands. Consid...

Designing pedestrian systems have been a challenge due to the lack of effective tools and methods to model the autonomous behavior of pedestrians. Pedestrians are one of the main players in traffic systems, and they also are their most common victims. The high incident of pedestrians’ accidents has led the World Health Organization (WHO) to set the reduction of traffic accidents as a priority f...

Natural resource management (NRM) typically involves complex decision problems that affect a wide variety of stakeholder values. More efficient NRM that seeks enhanced environmental, social and financial net benefits necessitates assessments of the environmental impacts, and costs and benefits of management investments in an integrated manner. Integrated assessment (IA) provides an approach to ...
