Harmonious industrialization: classifying, connecting and valuating industries based on their contribution to human need
(IEOM, 2017)An industry can be defined as a system within which homogenous processes strive toward a common generalizable outp ut. An industry comprises various economic, social and environmental activities. Various ... -
Harvesting of Hartbeespoort Dam micro–algal biomass through sand filtration and solar drying
(ELSEVIER, 2013)Renewable energy sources such as biomass are becoming more and more important as alternative to fossil fuels. One of the most exciting new sources of biomass is microalgae. One of the major obstacles in the commercial production ... -

Heading alignment with summarized inertial pose constraints
(IEEE, 2014)A discontinuity seems to exist in present aided inertial navigation systems – the operational availability of high cost inertial navigation currently depends on the availability of a valid GPS lock. In general GPS ... -
Heuristic approach to the passive optical network with fibre duct sharing planning problem
(ORSSA, 2015)Similar to the constrained facility location problem, the passive optical network (PON) planning problem necessitates the search for a subset of deployed facilities (splitters) and their allocated demand points (optical ... -
High-glycolytic cancers and their interplay with the body's glucose demand and supply cycle
(Elsevier, 2011)Many difficult-to-treat solid cancer tumours and metastases have high-glucose uptake, usually under hypoxic conditions. Hypoxic tumours suppress the immune system and are insensitive to traditional chemoradiotherapies. The ... -
High-temperature thermal plasma treatment of monazite followed by aqueous digestion
(SAIMM, 2016)Monazite is a chemically inert, radioactive phosphate mineral that contains the light rare earth metals (Ce, La, Nd, Pr and Y), thorium and uranium. A new process, which improves the extraction efficiency of monazite, ... -
A highly efficient autothermal microchannel reactor for ammonia decomposition: analysis of hydrogen production in transient and steady-state regimes
(Elsevier, 2018)The experimental evaluation of an autothermal microchannel reactor for H2 production from NH3 decomposition is described. The reactor design incorporates an autothermal approach, with added NH3 oxidation, for coupled heat ... -
Households water quality in O’Kiep-South Africa and community perception of related health risks
(Balaban Publishers, 2019)South Africa faced challenges related to potable water quality that has periodically deteriorated, coupled with inconsistent supply of tap water (TW) to households. These challenges are a primary exasperation in the arid ... -
How do high glycemic load diets influence coronary heart disease?
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Diet has a significant relationship with the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Traditionally the effect of diet on CHD was measured with the biomarker for low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. However, ... -
Hybrid nuclear plant simulator design requirements to enable dynamic diagnostics of plant operations
(Elsevier, 2017)With nuclear plant full scope simulator technology reaching maturity, the possibility of using its capabilities in expert systems such as online plant diagnostics has become a reality. The effectiveness of plant diagnostics ... -
Hydrocyclone cut-size estimation using artificial neural networks
(Elsevier, 2016)The hydrocyclone is widely used throughout the mineral processing industry when working with slurries. It is either used for classifying, desliming or dewatering. Hydrocyclones are inexpensive, application-efficient and ... -
Hydroformylation of post-metathesis product using commercial rhodium-based catalysts
(Springer, 2018)The hydroformylation of the post-metathesis product 7-tetradecene using different commercially available homogeneous rhodium-based catalysts has been investigated. The influences of different reaction conditions such as ... -
Hydroformylation of the post-metathesis product 7-tetradecene using rhodium(I) Schiff base derived precatalysts
(Elsevier, 2019)The rhodium-catalysed hydroformylation of the post-metathesis product 7-tetradecene using aryl- (1) and ferrocenyl- (2) Schiff base derived precatalyst complexes was investigated. It was found that the reaction temperature ... -
Hydrogel-based bioflocculants for the removal of organic pollutants from biodiesel wastewater
(Springer, 2017)Hydrogel based bioflocculants namely Gelatin and acrylic acid-co-acrylamide [GL-cl-P(AA-co-AAM)] and hybrid hydrogel composite with good adsorption potential, were synthesized in this study for the treatment of biodiesel ... -
Hydrogen generation by means of hydrolysis using activated Al-In-Bi-Sn composites for electrochemical energy applications
(ESG, 2017)Effective activation compounds are developed to produce hydrogen via hydrolysis of ball-milled Al-In-Bi-Sn composites in tap water at room temperature. Al-In-Bi-Sn composites are successfully activated by 3 h of milling. ... -
Hydrogen generation by the hydrolysis of mechanochemically activated aluminum-tin-indium composites in pure water
(Elsevier, 2018)This paper presents results of our continuing project on the mechanochemical activation of Al-based composites for hydrogen generation [1,2]. A series of bi- and ternary Al, Sn, and/or In composites were mechanochemically ... -
Hydrogen generation of mechanochemically activated Al-Bi-In composites
(Elsevier, 2017)The individual and combined effects of Bi and In on the morphology change and reactivity towards hydrogen release of Al during mechanochemical preparation of binary and ternary Al composites were determined. Subsequently, ... -
Hydrogen production by water electrolysis with an ultrathin anion-exchange membrane (AEM)
(ESG, 2018)A new ultrathin anion exchange membrane (AEM) is proposed for low cost AEM electrolysis. The advantages that thin membranes offer include reduced mass transport resistance and ohmic resistance. A membrane electrode ...
