The use of disruptive information technologies for competitive advantage in the banking sector of South Africa.
(Hempstead, NY : International Business Information Management Association (IBIMA), 2009)
The main focus of this paper is to determine the impact of disruptive technology in the ICT environment and how new technologies can be
managed in a secured architecture framework of organisations in the banking sector. ...
Measurement and verification baseline development and service level adjustments for fridge plant systems
(2009)
In this article the authors provide an overview of a fridge plant system and discuss the data requirements and data selection for baseline development. The baseline development is divided into two scenarios: 1) where ...
Evaluating methods to binarize historic cosmic-ray recordings
(IEEE, 2009)
Three adaptive image binarization
approaches are evaluated to find the method best suited
for the binarization of historic cosmic-ray data. The
methods are optimized by fine tuning their parameters
and they are then ...
Estimates for very high energy gamma rays from globular cluster pulsars
(AIP, 2008)
Low‐Mass X‐ray Binaries (LMXRBs), believed to be the progenitors of recycled millisecond pulsars (MSPs), occur abundantly in globular clusters (GCs). GCs are therefore expected to host large numbers of MSPs. This is also ...
Gamma‐ray pulsar visibility
(AIP, 2005)
PSR J0437‐4715 is a millisecond pulsar (MSP) thought to be “pair formation starved” (having limited pair cascades due to magnetic photon absorption). Fortunately the general relativistic (GR) electrodynamical model under ...
Analysis of the porous structure of an annular pebble bed reactor
(Atomic Energy Society of Japan, 2009)
This paper discusses the numerical analysis of the porous structure of an annular packed bed. Numerical procedures are described to determine the variation in the porosity, the variation in the coordination number (measure ...
Using an effective viscosity to account for the effect of the walls on the pressure drop through an annular packed bed
(ASME, 2009)
The question arose whether the correlation for the pressure drop prescribed for cylindrical pebble bed reactors by the Nuclear Safety Commission (KTA) of Germany could still be applied to the proposed annular configuration ...
Accounting for porous structure in effective thermal conductivity calculations in a pebble bed reactor
(Atomic Energy Society of Japan, 2009)
A proper understanding of the mechanisms of heat transfer, flow and pressure drop through a packed bed of spheres is of utmost importance in the design of a high temperature pebble bed reactor. A thorough knowledge of the ...
Linear model of a closed three-shaft Brayton cycle
(IEEE, 2004)
A linear model of a closed three-shaft Brayton cycle is developed. The model is intended to give an understanding of the dominant dynamic behavior in a nuclear power system that utilizes a closed three-shaft Brayton cycle. ...
On the development of a power quality benchmarking model
(IEEE, 2009)
The development of a Power Quality (PQ) Benchmarking model is presented. Practical results are discussed to motivate the need of adding value to recorded PQ data by means of benchmarking PQ performance. The importance, ...
