FaceFunda: a taxi ride with teacher-students towards social media literacy in the rural Eastern Cape Province of South Africa
(Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), 2014)
This paper explores and describes how teacher-students from rural communities in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, enrolled for a BEd Honours programme, experienced social media support to assist and guide them to compile ...
Identifying elements of social identity development for mathematics teachers in the Western Cape, South Africa for professional online engagement
(Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), 2014)
This paper reports on the analyses of a custom-made questionnaire distributed to systematic random selected teachers in 179 schools in the Western Cape Province, South Africa. The purpose of the analysis was to enquire ...
Ontwerp van 'n energiebestuurstelsel vir optimale energieverbruik en effektiwiteit van 'n distribusievlakmikrokragnetwerk
(2014)
South African state-owned utility company, Eskom, is under severe pressure to ensure the stability and reliability of the national electricity grid. With a shortfall in capacity of the national electricity grid, the ...
Intelligente beheer van 'n effektiewe hernubare-energie tenk vir melkboerdery
(2014)
To reduce strain on Eskom and decrease the cost for producing dairy products, an energy-efficient bulk storage tank using solar power was designed. The system uses thermoelectric cooling modules as a supporting cooling ...
Design of a transmission line monitoring solution for an unmanned quadcopter
(2014)
Eskom owns thousands of kilometres of transmission lines that need to be inspected in order to plan maintenance. Current methods of inspection are costly and ineffective and could pose safety risks. Systems already developed ...
Modelling the stellar soft-photon energy density of globular clusters
(South African Institute of Physics, 2014)
Recent observations by e.g. Fermi LAT and H.E.S.S. have revealed globular clusters to be sources of high-energy and very-high-energy gamma rays. It has been suggested that the presence of large numbers of millisecond pulsars ...
A systems engineering approach for the deployment of an atmospheric monitoring station
(Wiley, 2014)
In this paper the importance of a Systems Engineering (SE) approach is reiterated for developing and managing an atmospheric monitoring station. A newly established comprehensive atmospheric monitoring station, the Welgegund ...
The anatomy of γ-ray pulsar light curves
(South African Institute of Physics, 2014)
To obtain constraints on the inclination and observer angles, <i>α</i> and <i>ζ</i>, of a <i>γ</i>-ray pulsar from its observed light curve (LC), we make use of geometric models detailing the position and extent of emission ...
