Modeling the pulse profiles of millisecond pulsars in the second LAT catalog of γ-ray pulsars
(AIP, 2012)
Significant γ-ray pulsations have been detected from ∼40 millisecond pulsars (MSPs) using 3 years of sky-survey data from the Fermi LAT and radio timing solutions from across the globe. We have fit the radio and γ-ray pulse ...
Evidence-informed decision making for nutrition: African experiences and way forward
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2017)
Although substantial amount of nutrition research is conducted in Africa, the research agenda is mainly donor-driven. There is a clear need for a revised research agenda in Africa which is both driven by and responding to ...
Considerations in Grounded Theory Research Method: A reflection on the lessons learned
(2010)
This paper is a discussion on the practical issues faced by Information Systems (IS) professionals when they employ Grounded Theory Method (GTM) in Information Systems research. Various strands of GTM are in use, all of ...
An ontology-driven software development framework
(2010)
The software development process has been curtailed by the lack of a methodology that can capture and maintain the softer, humanist characteristics of organizational systems into the software product.
This is attributed ...
A mathematical ranking model in learning analytics
(CMMSE, 2016)
The introduction of new educationa
l trends triggers the development
of innovative methods to collect, analyse and report the data

Efficiency analysis of an induction motor with direct torque and flux control at a hot rolling mill
(Energy Research Centre, University of Cape Town, 2015)
This paper presents an efficiency analysis of an
induction motor with direct torque and flux control
at a hot rolling mill in South Africa. Two scenarios
were evaluated: 1) where the induction motor was
controlled at ...
Ontology goes postmodern in ICT
(ACM Press, 2010)
This paper investigates the move from philosophical ontology to information systems ontologies. Ontology has traditionally been (and still is) a philosophical discipline that studies the nature of existence. In a certain ...
Backup bearing modelling for turbo machines with high axial and radial loads
(s.n, 2014)
The use of active magnetic bearings (AMBs) in turbo
machines is an active research topic and the implementation in
industrial applications is becoming commonplace. This is
especially true when investigating the backup ...
Energy management system for a residential grid-tied micro-grid
(IEEE, 2015)
With the national power grid under
tremendous pressure, there are enormous pressure exerted
on residential electricity consumers to cut-back on
electricity consumption to ensure a reliable supply. This has
led to ...
Design of a prototype ultra-capacitor solar panel street light
(2013)
The purpose of the paper is to describe and discuss the design of a prototype ultracapacitor
solar panel street light. The effect of ultra-capacitors as an energy storage device in a solar
panel street light is evaluated. ...
