Development of a synchronous galvanically isolated measuring system
(North-West University, 2005)Perhaps the most useful area of electronic engineering involves the gathering and manipulation of data from an industrial process or a scientific experiment. The industrial process can be electrical, mechanical, thermo ... -
Development of a system for tracking objects in a confined space
(North-West University, 2009)The Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) is one of the alternative generation options that Eskom is currently investigating to replace their old coal-fired plants. The PBMR plants are smaller than conventional plants and ... -
The development of a system to optimise production costs around complex electricity tariffs
(North-West University, 2012)Rising South African electricity prices and reduced sales following the 2008 economic recession have led cement manufacturers to seek ways to reduce production costs. Prior research has shown that reduced electricity costs ... -
The development of a systems development methodology for location-based games
(ACM, 2018)Currently, there is a lack of systems development methodologies (SDMs) suitable for the development of location-based games. This research introduced a newly developed SDM to aid in the development process of location-based ... -
The development of a talent risk management tool for academics in a selected South African Education Institution
(North-West University (South Africa), 2018)The talent risk management of academic staff at South African higher education institutions is becoming vital as many top qualified scholars are leaving. This results in a vacuum that is very difficult to fill as higher ... -
Development of a technique to identify advertisements in a video signal
(North-West University, 2012)In recent years Content Based Information Retrieval (CBIR) has received a lot of research attention, starting with audio, followed by images and video. Video fingerprinting is a CBIR technique that creates a digital ... -
The development of a thermal storage system for a solar driven aqua ammonia heat pump
(North-West University, 2018)The development of a thermal heat storage system for a solar driven aqua ammonia heat pump is of significant importance to make a truly effective alternative power refrigeration system. This dissertation includes a preliminary ... -
Development of a toolkit for African horse sickness : identification of Culicoides vectors from Namibia and detection of African horse sickness virus
(North-West University (South Africa), Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)African horse sickness (AHS) is a non-contagious, viral, insect-borne disease of equids and this disease is caused by the African horse sickness virus (AHSV). The virus is part of the family Reoviridae of the genus Orbivirus. ... -
Development of a topical self-emulsifying drug delivery system for optimised delivery
(North-West University (South-Africa), 2020)In order to achieve successful receptor binding affinity at complex pharmacological targets the majority of drugs are of a lipophilic nature. However, optimisation of drug delivery systems for lipophilic drugs presents ... -
The development of a tourism curriculum evaluation model for secondary schools
(North-West University, 2003)Toerisme word vandag as een van die vinnig groeiende bedrywe in die wêreld gesien. 'n Probleem wat Suid-Afrika egter in die oë staar word saamgevat deur SAT (Suid-Afrika se Toerismeraad) wat beweer dat toerisme eerstens ... -
Development of a tourism management framework for Mapungubwe National Park
(2013)MNP is one of the smallest and youngest national parks in the portfolio of South African National Parks (SANParks). The park is also a World Heritage Site because it contains the remnants of the ancient Kingdom of Mapungubwe, ... -
Development of a tracking compound parabolic collector for a solar-driven diffusion absorption cycle
(North-West University, 2018)In an aqua ammonia absorption refrigeration system, the heat required by the generator can be delivered by a renewable source, such as solar energy. A compound parabolic collector (CPC) can deliver medium to high temperatures ... -
The development of a trauma intervention manual for South African social workers
(North-West University (South-Africa), 2020)The motivation for this study was built on assessments that indicated at the time of the study that social work students in South Africa receive little or no training on trauma and trauma intervention. As a result, practicing ... -
Development of a twin screw extruder with an integrated cooling roller system
(North-West University, 2011)The Center for Advanced Manufacturing at the Potchefstroom campus of the North West University aims to develop a twin screw extruder that is able to process powder coating resin. The facility has thus far produced various ... -
Development of a two-dimensional static neutronics model of the pebble bed modular reactor core for FLOWNEX
(North-West University, 2005)High temperature gas cooled reactors have a special importance in the future of nuclear technology. Due to their high thermal capacity, high burn-up and thermodynamic efficiency, a decrease in the electricity generation ... -
Development of a two-level full factorial model to analyse antenatal HIV data
(North-West University, 2018)The present study is based on antenatal HIV data collected annually by South Africa’s National Department of Health (NDoH) from 2001 to 2010. The data was obtained by sampling pregnant women attending the clinic for antenatal ... -
Development of a two-stroke, two-cylinder, spark-ignition UAV engine
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for both civil and military applications has increased significantly throughout the world in recent years. The propulsion systems used in locally designed and manufactured, ... -
Development of a UAV placement algorithm to establish redundant communication between nodes
