Purpose: Elevated blood pressure is a well‐documented risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality in Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). With SSA also affected by high Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection rates, it ...

This paper compares different techniques for estimating the velocity of UHF RFID tags within practical applications. We use COTS RFID equipment complying with ISO18000-6C standards, including the use of frequency hopping, ...

Fokker-Planck equations are partial differential equations in the transition function of the Markov process. In the evolution equation approach, we re-write partial differential equations as ordinary differential equations ...

UCG is a gasification process used to produce synthesis gas from coal in situ (underground in the coal seam) by injecting air or oxygen, with or without steam, into coal seams and extracting the product gas via surface ...

Packed beds are generally modelled in a partial manner to avoid computational costs. This implies that only a small portion of the representative bed is modelled explicitly in CFD simulations, usually by assuming ...

The work compares Wi-Fi and television white space (TVWS) technologies for practical broadband communication links, specifically in rural areas. The paper starts with an overview of advantages and limitations of Wi-Fi and ...

The Reactor Cavity Cooling System (RCCS) of a High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HGTR) plays an important role in ensuring the integrity of the HTGR during normal operating and accident conditions. The performance of ...

Part-load operation conditions of a centrifugal pump will impose potentially strenuous effects on the operation and reliability of the turbomachine in question due to the risk of suction recirculation. Suction recirculation ...

Convection heat transfer between a solid and a fluid plays a crucial role in amongst others ducts in heat exchangers, the riser tubes in reactor cavity cooling systems and between the graphite and coolant channels in the ...

Managing information security risks in an organisation is one of the most important tasks an organisation has. Unfortunately, due to the complexity of most organisational systems, identifying information security risks can ...
