A mathematical ranking model in learning analytics
(CMMSE, 2016)
The introduction of new educationa
l trends triggers the development
of innovative methods to collect, analyse and report the data
subsequently generated. This paper
discusses the implementation of a ...
A proposed model for South Africa to effectively recycle and dispose waste electrical and electronic equipment
(SAIIE, 2016)
In South Africa there are daily occurrences of dumping of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), also called e-waste, at municipal refuse sites. WEEE is hazardous and comes from households and businesses and ...
Engineering management and business intelligence: the importance of plant design base
(SAIIE, 2016)
Most popular business improvement models center their framework and approaches around business process improvement – thus on people, process and technology aspects of the business. They tend to drive business process ...
Development and implementation of an advanced mobile data collection system
(SAIIE, 2016)
This paper describes the development and implementation of a generic data collection tool. The Mobile Information Collection and Verification System (MICAVS) provides users with a generic platform to create application ...
Evaluation of waste-to-energy grate incineration power plant drivers and barriers for a small South African city: a swot analysis approach
(SAIIE, 2016)
The global share of energy from waste is approximately 0.4% of global energy consumption. The average amount of municipal solid waste generated in South Africa is equivalent to 11 GWh wasted energy. This paper focuses on ...
Reducing the communication costs of a remote monitoring and maintenance system for an energy services company (ESCo)
(SAIIE, 2016)
Demand-Side Management (DSM) initiatives can result in substantial electricity cost reductions. Energy Service Companies (ESCos) typically perform remote monitoring and maintenance to ensure sustained performance of these ...
Comparison of astrospheres around cool and hot stars
(IOP Publishing, 2016)
Simulations of astrospheres around hot and cool stars have recently move into the focus of scientific research. We describe here the differences between the astrospheres around hot and cool stars. While those around the ...
Calibration of statistical methods used to constrain pulsar geometries via multiband light curve modelling
(SAIP, 2016)
Since its launch in 2008, the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has detected over
200 γ-ray pulsars above 100 MeV. This population of pulsars is characterised by a rich diversity
of light curve morphologies. Researchers ...
Investigating gamma-ray fluxes from globular clusters
(SAIP, 2016)
Globular clusters are large collections of old stars that are orbiting the core of
a galaxy. Our Milky Way Galaxy has about 160 known clusters, with perhaps more to be
discovered. We first accumulated the necessary ...
