We present progress towards automated Lecture Transcription (LT) in resource scarce environments. Our development has focused on the transcription of lectures in Afrikaans from two faculties at North-West University. A ...
Modeling drift along the heliospheric wavy neutral sheet
(IOP Publishing, 2012)
Drift along the wavy heliospheric neutral sheet is believed to play an important role in cosmic-ray modulation and can explain the peaked versus flat intensity profiles during consecutive solar magnetic epochs. Modulation ...
Modelling the effects of scattering parameters on particle-drift in the solar modulation of galactic cosmic rays
(Elsevier, 2015)
It is well known that particle drift motions are suppressed by diffusive scattering as established by direct numerical simulations. The effect of constant scattering on the drift velocities of charged particles has always ...
ICT to disempower? A perspective on ICT as postmodern agent
(2010)
The wholesale implementation of Information Technology (IT) has brought with it a host of unintended and unforeseen consequences. Through a literature review and an examination of both postmodernism and IT, it is proposed ...

Effects of strategic management and labour unions in organizational productivity for the South African broadcasting corporation
(SAAPAM, 2014)
The relationship between strategic management and labour unions has proven to be significant towards organisational productivity. This relationship has the power of influencing the employees positively or negatively depending ...
The family Carabodidae (Acari: Oribatida) V. The genus Congocepheus (first part) with redescriptions of Congocepheus heterotrichus Balogh 1958, Congocepheus orientalis Mahunka 1987 and Congocepheus hauseri Mahunka 1989
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)
Congocepheus heterotrichus Balogh 1958, Congocepheus orientalis Mahunka 1987 and Congocepheus hauseri Mahunka
1989 are redescribed and illustrated based on adult specimens, using optical microscopy. Detailed descriptions ...
Clustering algorithms: sensitivity of mass determination using A 3581
(Wiley-VCH, 2013)
In this paper we discuss various methods for clustering in order to determine estimates of the cluster mass, focusing on the cluster A3581. Using virtual observatory (VO) tools, possible galaxy cluster candidates are ...
Comparative cellular responses in susceptible and resistant soybean cultivars infected by Meloidogyne incognita
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2013)
Meloidogyne incognita, a predominant nematode parasite of soybean in South Africa, increasingly threatens production
of the crop as it is expanding to maize-producing areas infected by this nematode. The parasitic ...
Comparative histomorphological assessment of the testes of two Clarias species from the Okavango Delta Panhandle, Botswana
(Elsevier, 2013)
The testes of two Clarias species from the Okavango Delta Panhandle were histomorphologically assessed
for differences in structure mainly because the testes varied externally in colour, with Clarias ngamensis
having ...
