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 ...
Condition monitoring thermal properties of a 20A hydraulic-magnetic MCB
(NWU, 2018)
Heat is one of the major causes of degradation which can cause a reduction in performance, reliability and life span
of miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) [1]. In order to diagnose the condition of electrical equipment, ...
A vision of energy-based visualisation of large scale industrial systems for the purposes of condition monitoring
(NWU, 2018)
Most large scale industrial systems can be viewed as processes that convert energy from one form to another.
Energy is a universal quality of which the distribution holds meaning across physical domains i.e. thermal-flu ...
Real-time monitoring of temperature distribution in a lithium-ion battery pack
(NWU, 2018)
Intelligent battery management systems aim to continuously diagnose the state-of-health (SOH) of cells in a battery
pack and predict performance, reliability and safety issues. Cells with a higher internal resistance ...

The light curves and spectral properties of more than 200
γ
-ray pulsars have been measured in
unsurpassed detail in the eight years since the launch of the hugely successful
Fermi
Large Area
Telescope (LAT)
γ

Multiwavelength signatures of shocks in relativistic jets
(HEASA, 2016)
Mildly relativistic, oblique shocks are frequently invoked as possible sites of relativistic particle
acceleration and production of strongly variable, polarized multi-wavelength emission from
relativistic jet sources ...
