Nano and bio-based technologies for wastewater treatment: prediction and control tools for the dispersion of pollutants in the environment
(Wiley, 2019)Over the past few decades the boom in the industrial sector has contributed to the release in the environment of pollutants that have no regulatory status and which may have significant impact on the health of animals and ... -
Nano-mineralogical investigation of coal and fly ashes from coal-based captive power plant (India): an introduction of occupational health hazards
(Elsevier, 2014)Coal derived nano-particles has been received much concern recently around the world for their adverse effects on human health and the environment during their utilization. In this investigation the mineral matter present ... -
The NCHLT Speech Corpus of the South African languages
(Workshop Spoken Language Technologies for Under-resourced Languages (SLTU), 2014)The NCHLT speech corpus contains wide-band speech from approximately 200 speakers per language, in each of the eleven official languages of South Africa. We describe the design and development processes that were ... -
Network resonance detection using harmonic active power
(IEEE, 2018)Resonances in electrical distribution systems can result in amplification of harmonics, which is undesirable in electrical networks. To avoid intrusive measurement techniques, in the majority of the cases network modeling ... -
Neural models for benchmarking of truck driver fuel economy performance
(INSTICC, 2019)The transport industry is a primary contributor towards emissions that impact climate change. Fuel economy is also of critical importance to the profitability of road freight transport operators. Empirical evidence identified ... -
A neural network based method for input parameter selection
(Machine Learning in Heliophysics, 2019-09)NNs yield predictions, without aiding understanding of input-output relationship Fully connected networks mix signal from all inputs as information flows through the network Input parameter selection usually done -
Neutron poison distribution in the central reflector to reduce the DLOFC temperature of a Th-LEU fueled OTTO PBMR DPP-400 core
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)In a previous study using a mixture of thorium and 20 a/o% LEU at 16 gram per fuel sphere heavy metal loading and adjusting the effective fuel enrichment to produce the same amount of cumulative energy per fuel sphere as ... -
Neutronic design of homogeneous thorium/uranium fuel for 24 month fuel cycles in the European pressurized reactor using MCNP6
(Elsevier, 2018)A new approach to designing thorium based fuels for a European pressurized reactor (EPR) core is introduced by considering a three dimensional full core MCNP6 model. Existing information on designing thorium/uranium fuel ... -
A new and innovative look at anti-insulation behaviour in building energy consumption
(Elsevier Science Limited, 2008) -
A new approach to ensure successful implementation of sustainable demand side management (DSM) in South African mines
(Elsevier, 2008)Demand side management (DSM) is seen as a short-term solution to the imminent problem of electricity supply shortages in South Africa. DSM aims to reduce peak loads with immediate results in a short time. The mining sector ... -
New gas nitriding technique using the interior of the nitrided pressure vessel as the process chamber
(SAIMM, 2016)The need to nitride the interior of large machine housings, which are also pressure vessels, for use in a high-temperature gas reactor resulted in the development of a suitable new nitriding technique whereby the ... -
A new model to estimate Bolus insulin need
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2009)Patients with type 1 diabetes usually use the carbohydrate (CHO) counting method to establish their bolus insulin need. However, most still struggle with blood glucose control. We believe that for good control their insulin ... -
Nie-indringende monitering van elektriese kabels in die industriële sektor om faling en kragonderbrekings te beperk
(2014)Condition monitoring of electrical cables can prevent cables from failing prematurely. Partial discharge (PD) is the main source for degradation of the insulation material of medium-voltage cables. The well-known capacitor ... -
Nie-indringende monitering van elektriese kabels in die industriële sektor om onklaarraking en kragonderbrekings te beperk
(AOSIS, 2015)Condition monitoring of electrical cables can prevent cables from failing prematurely. Partial discharge (PD) is the main source for degradation of the insulation material of medium-voltage cables. The well-known capacitor ... -
Non-catalytic plasma-arc reforming of natural gas with carbon dioxide as the oxidizing agent for the production of synthesis gas or hydrogen
(Elsevier, 2013)The world’s energy consumption is increasing constantly due to the growing population of the world. The increasing energy consumption has a negative effect on the fossil fuel reserves of the world. Hydrogen has the ... -
Non-linear model of rotor delevitation in an active magnetic bearing system including parameter estimation
(Elsevier, 2017)Backup bearings (BBs) are used to protect active magnetic bearings in the event of rotor delevitation. To gain insight into the design, selection and operation of BBs, a model that can accurately simulate the behaviour of ... -
Nonequilibrium poroelectroelastic theory for polymer electrolytes under conditions of water electrolysis
(Elsevier, 2019)The paper deals with the nonequilibrium poroelectroelastic theory (PEET) for polymer electrolytes (PE) under the conditions of water electrolysis with a view of further use in the theoretical description of mass transfer ... -
Noodle waste based biorefinery: an approach to address fuel, waste management and sustainability
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)Noodle waste contains significant amounts of starch, lignocellulosic material and oil. Pretreatment involving extraction followed by centrifugation is necessary to separate the oil from the starch and lignocellulosic ... -
A novel approach to noninvasive measurement of overhead line impedance parameters
(IEEE, 2017)Transmission line impedance parameter estimation forms an essential part in modeling and monitoring of electricity networks. The accuracy of the estimated parameters has a direct impact on various functions of network ... -
