Modeling the pulse profiles of millisecond pulsars in the second LAT catalog of γ-ray pulsars
(AIP, 2012)
Significant γ-ray pulsations have been detected from ∼40 millisecond pulsars (MSPs) using 3 years of sky-survey data from the Fermi LAT and radio timing solutions from across the globe. We have fit the radio and γ-ray pulse ...
Towards lecture transcription in resource-scarce environments
(Pattern recognition association of South Africa (PRASA), 2012)
We present progress towards automated Lecture Transcription (LT) in resource scarce environments. Our development has focused on the transcription of lectures in Afrikaans from two faculties at North-West University. A ...
Context-dependent modelling of English vowels in Sepedi code-switched speech
(Pattern recognition association of South Africa (PRASA), 2012)
When modelling code-switched speech (utterances that contain a mixture of languages), the embedded language often contains phones not found in the matrix language. These are typically dealt with by either extending the ...

A voice service for user feedback on school meals
(ACM, 2012)
Research using voice-based services as a technology platform for providing information access and services within developing world regions has shown much promise. The results for design and deployment of such voice-based ...
The characterization of the severity of rotor delevitation events: a parametric study
(s.n, 2012)
Active magnetic bearing (AMB) failure and the ensuing rotor behavior is a very important
aspect of AMB safety. A model for this rotor behavior was developed and was used to
characterize the severity of rotor delevitation ...
Experimental results of an asynchronous machine with thermoelectric cooling modules
(2012)
It is estimated that globally around 40% of the electricity supplied to the industrial sector is consumed by electric motorised systems and for South Africa around 60% of the electricity supplied is consumed by asynchronous ...
