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 ...
A tripartite approach to ensure municipal service delivery. The case of a mining town in South Africa
(CCAU, 2019)
Postmasburg, a small mining town, has been an agricultural centre for the past 120 years, the iron ore mining being the only diversifying factor to the local economy. Mining endeavours resulted in the traditional boom-town ...
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 ...
Dataset on the carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen high-pressure sorption properties of South African bituminous coals
(Elsevier, 2019)
The dataset presented in this article supplements the result and information published in the report “The carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen high-pressure sorption properties of South African bituminous coals” (Okolo et ...
Replicating the CBOE VIX using a synthetic volatility index trading algorithm
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)
This article tests whether a correlation exists between a stochastic
synthetic volatility index (SVIX) and the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE)
volatility index (VIX) and assesses the success of the indicators’ ...
Hilbert and Thompson isometries on cones in JB-algebras
(Springer, 2019)
Hilbert’s and Thompson’s metric spaces on the interior of cones in JB-algebras are important
examples of symmetric Banach-Finsler spaces. In this paper we characterize the Hilbert’s
metric isometries on the interiors of ...
LC-ESI/MS/MS analysis of neonicotinoids in urine of very low birth weight infants at birth
(PLoS, 2019)
Objectives
Neonicotinoid insecticides are widely used systemic pesticides with nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist activity that are a concern as environmental pollutants. Neonicotinoids in humans and the environment ...
Plasmonic detection of glucose in serum based on biocatalytic shape-altering of gold nanostars
(MDPI, 2019)
Nanoparticles have been used as signal transducers for optical readouts in biosensors.
Optical approaches are cost-e ective with easy readout formats for clinical diagnosis. We present a
glucose biosensor based on the ...
Constraints on the emission region of 3C 279 during strong flares in 2014 and 2015 through VHE γ-ray observations with H.E.S.S.
(EDP Sciences, 2019)
The flat spectrum radio quasar 3C 279 is known to exhibit pronounced variability in the high-energy (100 MeV < E < 100 GeV) γ-ray band, which is continuously monitored with Fermi-LAT. During two periods of high activity ...
