A simulation approach to the optimized design of cross-border operations
(IEEE, 2015)Simulations of transport operations have been widely used for scenario analysis and the investigation of competing strategies to optimize traffic flows and logistics operations. This paper applies a simulation approach to ... -
Simulation of a predominantly passive natural air cooling system
(IEEE, 2018)Climate control is an everyday challenge. With the rapid surge in electricity prices over the past few years, air conditioning operating expenses necessarily increased. The effects, furthermore, of global warming result ... -
Simulation of suction recirculation in double suction centrifugal pumps
(SACAM, 2018)Part-load operation conditions of a centrifugal pump will impose potentially strenuous effects on the operation and reliability of the turbomachine in question due to the risk of suction recirculation. Suction recirculation ... -
Simulation of washability and liberation information from photographs
(Springer, 2016)Imagine that a sample of coal could be crushed unlimited times to the same or different top size; a different washability would be obtained for each crushing experiment. Depending on the size and distribution of the raw ... -
A simulation strategy to optimize the design of internet enabled logistics services
(IEEE, 2014)The emergence of advanced communication technology has created opportunities to improve transportation in supply chains across the globe. In this paper the main contributors to inefficiencies in present road transportation ... -

Simultaneous fitting of the spectral energy density, energy-dependent size, and X-ray spectral index vs. radius of the young pulsar wind nebula PWN G0.9+0.1
(Sissa Medialab, 2018)We have constructed and calibrated a spherically-symmetric, spatially-dependent particle transport and emission code for young pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe). This code predicts the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the ... -
Simultaneous spectral and spatial modelling of young pulsar wind nebulae
(Sissa Medialab, 2017)We model the morphology and spectrum of a pulsar wind nebula using a leptonic emission code. This code is a time-dependent, multi-zone model that investigates the changes in the particle spectrum as they traverse the ... -
Sizing of renewable energy hydrogen systems
(IEEE, 2011)This paper explains the simulation and sizing optimization of renewable energy systems for hydrogen production. These systems are complex and challenging to size correctly due to the nonlinearities of the components and ... -
Skills development in South Africa through Idea2Product Lab layout for effective learning
(IEOM, 2017)Idea2Product Lab which is a sub - deparme nt of Technology Transfer and Innovation based in Vaal Univers ity of Technology (VUT) main campus and also in VUT Southern Gauteng Science and ... -
Skoolhoofleierskapstyl deur die lens van die kultuurhistoriese aktiwiteitsteorie (KHAT)
(Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns, 2017)Followers' perceptions are the best evaluation of leadership styles. How followers observe a leadership style may differ from how the leader sees it. In order to understand the entire reality, one should accept and respect ... -
SMALLHOLDER MAIZE FARMER’S WILLINGNESS TO JOIN INDEX INSURANCE IN VHEMBE DISTRICT: LIMPOPO PROVINCE
(IBC, 2021)Only a negligible proportion of smallholder farmers in South Africa have crop insurance to mitigate production risks. This article analyses the demand for index-based crop insurance by smallholder farmers in ... -
Smart whiteboard for interactive learning
(IEEE, 2018)The need for educators conveying information more interactively has increased as we are moving into a more technological era. A need for increasing the efficiency of lectures has become very important. This project addresses ... -
SmartRoad: a new approach to law enforcement in dense traffic environments
(IEEE, 2015)Road transport law enforcement is facing new challenges against the background of increasingly congested traffic conditions. An ideal law enforcement system must enable authorities to detect, identify and act against illegal ... -
SO2-drought interaction on crop yield, photosynthesis and symbiotic nitrogen fixation in soybean (Glycine max)
(Springer, 2013)South Africa has an energy-intensive economy, resulting in substantial SO2 pollution. Well watered and drought stressed soybean (Glycine max) were exposed to SO2 in open-top chambers to study the physiology of SO2 injury ... -
Soil quality in the basin of mine effluents and the potential of alleviation of metal dispersion
(CUMTP, 2014)The soils along the basin ofmine effluent were investigated for their role in the mitigation of the pollution of river water in the residential areas around Potchefstroom in South Africa.The results showed that the soils ... -
Sol-gel preparations of ZnO/SnO2 composite photocatalysts applied for the degradation of PAH’s under visible light
(EARET, 2018)Wastewater treatment challenges faced by conventional methods have necessitated the need for alternative/complementary methods that are environmentally benign and efficient especially toward recalcitrant organic pollutants. ... -
Solar modulation of cosmic ray positrons in a very quiet heliosphere
(PoS, 2017)Since the beginning of the space exploration era, solar activity was observed at its lowest level during 2006 to 2009. During this period, the PAMELA space experiment observed spectra for galactic cosmic rays, specifically ...
