Robust torque ripple mitigation of a line-start PMSM by means of the Taguchi method
(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 ...
Comparative study of steam vs hot water as primary heat transfer medium for a laboratory scale two-tank heated system
(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
(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 ...
Predictive model for fuels from hydrothermal liquefaction of municipal solid waste
(EUBCE, 2019)
Effective management of the environmental impact of municipal solid waste (MSW) is a global issue linked to urbanization and a rapid increase in the global population. Although MSW has been evaluated as possible feedstock ...
Valorisation of waste lignin for phenol derivative compounds using hydrothermal liquefaction
(EUBCE, 2019)
Approximately 95% of global phenolic compounds (such as catechol, guaiacol, syringol, and vanillin) used in the pharmaceutical, fragrance and industrial industries are produced from petroleum-based phenolics such as benzene. ...
Towards designing an artefact evaluation strategy for human factors engineering: a lean implementation model case study
(Univ Stellenbosch, 2019)
Applying scientific methods to the evaluation of design science
research artefacts is necessary to recognise the design process as
design science research. Prior work has reported on this crucial
evaluation component; ...
An investigation of industry 4.0 skills requirements
(Univ Stellenbosch, 2019)
The Industry 4.0 wave is built on technological advancement that is
bringing about significant change. The impact of Industry 4.0 is
being felt across all industries, including the education sector.
During the 2019 State ...
Quality research management improves design research effectiveness
(Univ Stellenbosch, 2019)
Design research projects are often more complex than initially perceived due to a requirement for novelty, the creativity inherent in the design process, and the limited experience of novice researchers. Also, expectations ...
Gender considerations in sustainable rural livelihood planning: engendering rural development planning in a South African context
(WIT Press, 2019)
While it may be argued that worldwide women in rural areas are more likely to experience poverty than
rural men and urban men and women, it is an even greater challenge for Africa. The impoverishment
experienced by the ...
Optical variability modelling of newly identified blazars and blazar candidates behind Magellanic clouds
(Sissa Medialab, 2019)
We present results of a variability study in the optical band of 44 newly identified blazar candidates behind the Magellanic Clouds. Our sample contains 27 flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) and 17 BL Lacertae objects (BL ...
