The use of disruptive information technologies for competitive advantage in the banking sector of South Africa.
(Hempstead, NY : International Business Information Management Association (IBIMA), 2009)
The main focus of this paper is to determine the impact of disruptive technology in the ICT environment and how new technologies can be
managed in a secured architecture framework of organisations in the banking sector. ...
Measurement and verification baseline development and service level adjustments for fridge plant systems
(2009)
In this article the authors provide an overview of a fridge plant system and discuss the data requirements and data selection for baseline development. The baseline development is divided into two scenarios: 1) where ...
Email security awareness: a practical assessment of employee behaviour
(Springer, 2007)
Email communication is growing as a main method for individuals
and organizations to communicate. Sadly, this is also an emerging means of
conducting crime in the cyber world, e.g. identity theft, virus attacks etc. ...
Evaluating methods to binarize historic cosmic-ray recordings
(IEEE, 2009)
Three adaptive image binarization
approaches are evaluated to find the method best suited
for the binarization of historic cosmic-ray data. The
methods are optimized by fine tuning their parameters
and they are then ...
Competitive intelligence: construct exploration, validation and equivalence
(Emerald, 2008)
Purpose
Little empirical research has been conducted on competitive intelligence (CI). This paper aims to contribute to the quantitative strand of the CI literature by exploring and validating the theoretical constructs ...
Export market selection methods and the identification of realistic export opportunities for South Africa using a decision support model
(2009)
Market selection methods, of which a vast number exist, are a critical tool in firms’ and government’s policy, planning and budgeting processes. To this end, the primary aim of this paper is to determine the international ...
Estimates for very high energy gamma rays from globular cluster pulsars
(AIP, 2008)
Low‐Mass X‐ray Binaries (LMXRBs), believed to be the progenitors of recycled millisecond pulsars (MSPs), occur abundantly in globular clusters (GCs). GCs are therefore expected to host large numbers of MSPs. This is also ...
Unraveling the emission geometry of the Fermi millisecond pulsars
(Fermi, 2009)
The nine millisecond pulsars (MSPs) that have now been detected by Fermi-LAT are providing
an excellent opportunity to probe the emission geometry of these ancient compact objects. As they
are radio-loud, one may use the ...
Search for pulsed VHE gamma-ray emission from young pulsars with H.E.S.S.
(ICRC, 2008)
We present the results of a search for pulsed very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from young pulsars using data taken with the H.E.S.S. imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope system. Data on eleven pulsars, selected ...
Modeling of gamma-ray millisecond pulsar light curves revealed by Fermi-LAT
(Thê Giói Publishers, 2009)
Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has recently detected 8 gamma-ray millisecond pulsars
(MSPs), providing an unprecedented opportunity to probe the magnetospheres of these lowspin-down pulsars. We performed 3D emission ...
