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 ...
Revival of unsuccessful chemotherapeutics for highly glycolytic cancers?
(Elsevier, 2011)
Around 90% of cancer deaths can be ascribed to metastases , usually highly glycolytic. Rodent models are used when developing drugs to attack these cancers
A practical quantification of blood glucose production due to high-level chronic stress
(Wiley, 2012)
Blood glucose (BG) is the primary metabolic fuel for, among others, cancer cell progression, cardiovascular disease and inflammation. Stress is an important contributor to the amount of BG produced especially by the liver. ...
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 ...
Prelimanary application of a new Bolus Insulin model for Type 1 Diabetes
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2011)
Previous work derived a theoretically rigorous bolus insulin model. It was shown that the new model predicts insulin response of subjects without diabetes substantially better than the carbohydrate counting method (CHOcm). ...
A versatile energy management system for large integrated cooling systems
(Elsevier, 2013)
Large, energy intensive cooling systems are found on deep level mines to supply chilled service water and
cool ventilation air to the mine. The need exists for a simple, real-time energy management tool for large,
integrated ...
Load-shifting opportunities for typical cement plants
(ERC (Energy Research Centre), 2013)
Investigations into demand side reductions have
been encouraged by the South African electricity
utility, Eskom, in sectors with high electricity consumption,
such as the cement industry. The South
African cement ...
Engineering principles and medical discoveries
(South African Institution of Mechanical Engineering (SAIMechE), 2010)
A simple demand-side management solution for a typical compressed-air system at a South African gold mine
(ERC (Energy Research Centre), 2012)
Once designed, mine compressed-air systems tend to operate at peak levels throughout the life of the mine, despite there being significant periods when this air quantity is not required. This is mainly due to lack of ...
