Case study for evaluating benefits of pavement research: final results
(The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2013)
Heavy-duty pavement innovations developed through research for a major rehabilitation project in California were evaluated. The performance benefits of the innovations were examined, and the economic benefits from ...
Analysis of the post-earnings announcement drift anomaly on the JSE
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)
The post-earnings announcement drift anomaly has been widely researched and confirmed for several markets around the world. This paper investigates the relationship between the earnings surprise as reflected by the price ...
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 ...
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 ...
Intelligente beheer van ’n hernubare, energiedoeltreffende tenk vir melkboerderye
(AOSIS, 2015)
To reduce strain on Eskom and decrease the cost for producing dairy products, an energy-efficient
bulk storage tank using solar power was designed. The system uses thermoelectric cooling
modules as a supporting cooling ...
The Spoken Web Search task at Mediaeval 2012
(Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), 2013 IEEE International Conference on, 2013)
In this paper, we describe the “Spoken Web Search” Task, which
was held as part of the 2012 MediaEval benchmark evaluation campaign.
The purpose of this task was to perform audio search with audio
input in four languages, ...
Case study: the effects of a variable flow energy saving strategy on a deep-mine cooling system
(Elsevier, 2013)
Cooling systems consume up to 25% of the total electricity used on deep level mines. These systems are integrated with the water reticulation system to provide chilled service water to the mine as well as cooling for mine ...
Prototype super-capacitor photovoltaic streetlight with xLogic SuperRelay functionality
(IRET (Institute of Research in Engineering and Technology), 2013)
In this paper, the authors present and discuss the
design of a prototype super-capacitor photovoltaic (PV)
streetlight with xLogic SuperRelay (PLC) functionality.
Deep-cycle batteries used in solar electrical systems, ...
The influence of design parameters on the occurrence of shielding in multi-electrode ESPs and its effect on performance
(Elsevier, 2018)
A numerical model in which OpenFOAM® is used to model the electrostatic field resulting from corona discharge in single-channel wire-plate electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) was applied to systematically study the shielding ...
A review of methods to predict the effective thermal conductivity of packed pebble beds, with emphasis on the near-wall region
(Elsevier, 2018)
The effective thermal conductivity is an important parameter that is representative of the overall heat transfer in a packed bed of spheres. It includes the effects of conduction through the solid material and contact areas ...
