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 ... -
Calorimetric neutrino expectations from bright blazar flares
(Sissa Medialab, 2019)Blazar jets are extreme environments, in which relativistic proton interactions with an ultraviolet photon field could give rise to photopion production. High-confidence associations of individual high-energy neutrinos ... -
Carbon dioxide pollution reduction through load shift projects
(IEEE, 2014)Significant advances have been made in automation technology allowing systems to shift electricity consumption from peak periods to off-peak periods. Load shift projects have been implemented throughout South Africa for ... -
Carbon‐14 radiolabeling and tissue distribution evaluation of MMV390048
(Wiley, 2016)The antimalarial compound MMV390048 ([14C]-11) was labeled with carbon-14 isotope via a 3-step synthesis. It was obtained in a 15.5% radiochemical overall yield from carbon-14 labeled methyl iodide with a radiochemical ... -
The cardiovascular safety of Pheroid® in the conscious rat
(Elsevier, 2019)The Pheroid® technology is a patented colloidal drug delivery system comprised of a dispersed oil phase of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids emulsified in N2O saturated water. Pheroid® has pharmaceutical applicability for ... -
Cascade disruption of generation: a special focus on African grid volnurebilities
(IEEE, 2011)Large scale network disruption often lies at the heart of regional blackouts, and often disrupts entire communities in terms of their normal activities and well being. Disruptions caused by cascading failure of generating ... -
Cascade disruption of generation: the hidden gift of failure
(IEEE, 2012)Large scale network disruption often lies at the heart of regional blackouts, and often disrupts entire communities in terms of their normal activities and well being. Recognizing the threat posed by such disturbances, ... -
The case for nuclear electricity in South Africa – a political alignment framework
(Wiley, 2014)Energy is essential for economic development of South Africa. All areas for development and economic growth i.e. reducing poverty and improving quality of life require affordable access to reliable energy services. When ... -
Catalytic hydroprocessing of ground cottonseeds in a cottonseed oil and 1-octane solvent to produce renewable diesel. (Slide presentation)

Category-based phoneme-to-grapheme transliteration
(International Speech Communication Association ( ISCA ), 2013)Grapheme-based speech recognition systems are faster to develop but typically do not reach the same level of performance as phoneme-based systems. In this paper we introduce a technique for improving the performance of ... -
Cathodic protection system design framework
(IEEE, 2019)The aim of this article is to establish a cathodic protection (CP) system design framework for the petrochemical industry in South Africa. The CP system design framework is destined to be used as a guideline when designing ... -
A census of South African industrial engineers, based on data extracted from Linkedin
(SAIIE, 2014)The first South African Industrial Engineers graduated in 1963. Since then, the number of graduates per annum has grown to more than 200 per annum. Many of these Industrial Engineers use the social network, LinkedIn, to ... -
Centaurus A: hard X-ray and soft gamma-ray lightcurve correlation
(Sissa Medialab, 2017)Centaurus A (Cen A), powered by a 55 million solar mass supermassive black hole, has been intensively monitored in all accessible wavelength ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, its gamma-ray flux, both in the ... -
Central stellar populations of brightest cluster galaxies
(South African Institute of Physics, 2014)We analyse the stellar populations of a sample of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), for which high signal-to-noise ratio, long-slit spectra were obtained on the Gemini telescopes, by fitting their spectra using the software ... -
CFD analysis of thermal dispersion in a structured packed bed
(SACAM, 2018)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 ... -
CFD simulation of an industrial wet flue gas desulfurization spray tower: a comprehensive model with special atttention devoted to the modeling of absorption and chemical reactions
(International Pittsburgh Coal Conference, 2016) -
The Challenge: Quality Enhancement in Teaching– How do We Know We are Making Progress?
(IACSIT Press, 2014)In 2014 the Council for Higher Education in South Africa launched a national Quality Enhancement Project (QEP). The aim of the project is to improve student success both at individual Higher Education Institutions and in ... -
Challenges and issues in drug utilization research identified from the Latin American and African regions
(Wiley, 2018)Background: Despite advancements in drug utilization research (DUR), these have not been universal. Some regions such as the Latin America (LatAm) and African regions are facing challenges that are impeding the development ... -
Challenges faced by divergent ICT schools regarding branding and establishing research foci. Panel discussion held at SACLA 2010, Cullinan, 4-6 June 2010.
(2010)The audience will be informed about the process of establishing a new research niche area in a School of Information Technology situated on the Vaal Triangle Campus (VTC) of the North-West University (NWU). The School ...
