Theorising on information cascades and sequential decision-making for analysing security behaviour
(ICISSP, 2019)Human behaviour is an ever-present aspect in information security and requires special attention when seeking to secure information systems. Information security behaviour is often based on an informed decision where ... -
Therapeutic use and pharmacological safety of herbal medicines
(Elsevier, 2019)In general, N80% of the world's population relies on traditional medicine for their primary healthcare [1]. The use of complementary herbal medicine provides an alternative option to modern allopathic treatment for ... -
Thermal modelling of a high speed permanent magnet synchronous machine
(IEEE, 2013)The thermal behaviour of permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) is important since overheating of the permanent magnets can lead to demagnetization. This article gives an overview of a hybrid thermal model for a ... -
Thermochemical liquefaction of water hyacinth
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2013)The use of non-edible biomass should be investigated as alternatives for biofuel production. Aquatic weeds like water hyacinth (WH) are classified as third generation crops. WH in South Africa is an invasive species that ... -
Three-dimensional shape descriptors and matching procedures
(WSCG, 2011)Shape descriptors are used to identify objects in the same way that human fingerprints are used to identify people. Features of an object are extracted by applying functions to the digital representation of the object. These ... -
ThunderKAT: the MeerKAT large survey project for image-plane radio transients
(Sissa Medialab, 2016)ThunderKAT is the image-plane transients programme for MeerKAT. The goal as outlined in 2010, and still today, is to find, identify and understand high-energy astrophysical processes via their radio emission (often in ... -
Time dependence of the proton and helium fluxes measured by PAMELA during solar minimum (2006 - 2009)
(Sissa Medialab, 2019)Precision measurements of the Z = 2 component in the cosmic radiation provide crucial information about both the origin and propagation of the helium nuclei in cosmic rays inside the Galaxy. Moreover, the precise measurement ... -
The time dependent solvent extraction of Ta and Nb
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)The suitability of Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) for the selective extraction of chemically similar tantalum (Ta) and niobium (Nb) mixtures was investigated by determining the influence of the acid concentration, extractant ... -
Time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy: a study of the distribution of hazardous elements in coal ashes
(International Pittsburgh Coal Conference, 2017) -
Time-dependent, multi-wavelength shock acceleration models for active flares of 3C 279
(Sissa Medialab, 2019)Jets in blazars are an excellent forum for studying acceleration at relativistic shocks using the highly-variable emission seen across the electromagnetic spectrum. Our recent work on combining multi-wavelength leptonic ... -
Topical delivery of selected growth factors
(Wiley, 2010)Growth factors can benefit from controlled release admin- istration technologies (i.e. topical or transdermal delivery). When compared with other epithelial membranes, the skin has less enzymatic activity and so provides ... -
Towards an initiative-based industry 4.0 maturity improvement process: master drilling as a case study
(Univ Stellenbosch, 2018)Industry 4.0 is an unavoidable global revolution with disruptive effects. Many sectors in South Africa are currently underprepared for the transformation that is necessary to stay competitive. An ever-present need therefore ... -
Towards an unsupervised morphological segmenter for isiXhosa
(IEEE, 2019)In this paper, branching entropy techniques and isiXhosa language heuristics are adapted to develop unsupervised morphological segmenters for isiXhosa. An overview of isiXhosa segmentation issues is given, followed by ... -
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; ... -
Towards industry 4.0: a roadmap for the South African heavy industry sector
(Stellenbosch Univ, 2019)The rapid growth and expansion of the Internet, as well as technical advances in the area of sensor technology, allow for the interconnection of physical objects for the purpose of achieving collective goals, which paves ... -
Towards PQ regulation in Southern Africa
(IEEE, 2009)This paper discuss the regulation of Power Quality (PQ) in Southern Africa from a user perspective -
TRADITIONAL APPROACHES AND LEADERSHIP PERSPECTIVES ON SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION PRACTICES IN AFRICA
(IBC, 2021)Environmental sustainability has become a priority agenda globally, with World bodies such as the UN, UNESCO and World Bank encouraging environmental restoration with various incentives for all nations (UNCTAD, 2019; ... -
Transmission line monitoring system for a power line inspection robot
(2013)Eskom has thousands-of-kilometres of transmission lines running across South Africa. The current methods of overhead power line inspection (foot patrols and air inspections) have been implemented for a long time now and ...
