    The role of an ICT research professor in South Africa 

    Kroeze, Jan H; Pretorius, P D; Roode, J D (Sprouts Alliance, 2010)
    Until recently it has been assumed that all lecturers at tertiary institutions should teach, conduct research and do community service. Due to heavy teaching loads, this assumption has become evident as a very idealistic ...

    Comparative study of steam vs hot water as primary heat transfer medium for a laboratory scale two-tank heated system 

    Oberholzer, P.Z.; Uren, K.R.; Van Schoor, G.; Van Niekerk, W. (IEEE, 2019)
    The need exists for a benchmark multi-domain practical system that could emulate typical process faults for the purposes of condition monitoring. A proposition was made to develop a heated two-tank system, due to its ...

    CREAK descriptor evaluation for visual odometry 

    Smulders, Dehan; Uren, Kenneth; Van Schoor, George; Van Daalen, Corné; Engelbrecht, Japie (IEEE, 2019)
    Each year, latest state of the art technologies and algorithms arise that claim and prove to-shine their predecessors. One such algorithm is the Colour-based Retina Key-point (CREAK) descriptor, which is based on the FAST ...

    A distributed approach to speech resource collection 

    Molapo, Raymond; Barnard, Etienne; De Wet, Febe (Pattern recognition association of South Africa (PRASA), 2013)
    We describe the integration of several tools to enable the end-to-end development of an Automatic Speech Recognition system in a typical under-resourced language. Google App Engine is employed as the core environment for ...

    Robust torque ripple mitigation of a line-start PMSM by means of the Taguchi method 

    Sorgdrager, A.J.; Grobler, A.J.; Wang, R.-J. (IEEE, 2019)
    —In this paper, a robust design framework is proposed to mitigate torque ripple for line-start permanent magnet synchronous machines (LS-PMSM) by using the Taguchi method. The framework is intended for fine-tuning initial ...

    A discourse model of affect for text-to-speech synthesis 

    Schlunz, Georg I.; Barnard, Etienne (Pattern recognition association of South Africa (PRASA), 2013)
    This paper introduces a model of affect to improve prosody in text-to-speech synthesis. It operates on the discourse level of text to predict the underlying linguistic factors that contribute towards emotional appraisal, ...

    Multilingual pronunciations of proper names in a Southern African corpus 

    Jan W.F. Thirion; Etienne Barnard; Davel, Marelie H. (Pattern recognition association of South Africa (PRASA), 2012)
    We present our process for the development and analysis of a multilingual names corpus, called Multipron-split. It is derived from Multipron, a corpus collected in previous work [1], where names and speakers were drawn ...

    Backup bearing modelling for turbo machines with high axial and radial loads 

    Janse van Rensburg, Jan J.; Vanek, Christian; Worlitz, Frank (s.n, 2014)
    The use of active magnetic bearings (AMBs) in turbo machines is an active research topic and the implementation in industrial applications is becoming commonplace. This is especially true when investigating the backup ...

    Delevitation modelling of an active magnetic bearing supported rotor 

    Janse van Rensburg, Jan J.; Van Schoor, George; Van Vuuren, Pieter A. (s.nCurran Associates, 2010)
    For active magnetic bearings (AMBs) to be used with confidence in industrial applications, the safe failure of the AMB system should be guaranteed. The exact behaviour of the rotor on the backup bearings (BBs) is relatively ...

    A generalized additive neural network application in information security 

    Du Toit, Tiny; Kruger, Hennie (Tadbir Operational Research Group, 2014)
    Traditionally spam has been considered as an inconvenience requiring workers to sift through and delete large numbers of e-mail messages per day. However, new developments and the Internet have dramatically transformed the ...
