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 ...
Stepwise global sensitivity analysis of a physics-based battery model using the Morris method and Monte Carlo experiments
(Elsevier, 2019)
Physics-based battery models can be very complex and require careful experimental validation, but yield greater insights into the internal processes and their interactions than other cell modelling approaches. The complexity ...
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’ ...
Changes in abundance of fish-parasitic gnathiid isopods associated with warm-water bleaching events on the northern Great Barrier Reef
(Springer, 2019)
Mass coral bleaching events due to rising seawater temperatures are occurring with increasing frequency and are among the most conspicuous consequences of human-induced climate change. While bleaching events have clear ...
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 ...
New insights into the metagenomic link between pre‐treatment method, addition of an inoculum and biomethane yield during anaerobic digestion of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes)
(Wiley, 2019)
BACKGROUND
Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is a fast growing water weed that threatens the aquatic ecosystem and human activities, hence control of the plant is essential. One such control approach is to harvest and ...
