The effects of the so-called energy-crisis are being felt world-wide. Dwindling natural resources has seen an increase in research efforts to develop new energy efficient technologies, and to manage existing facilities ...

The demand for energy is increasing throughout the world, and fossil fuel resources are diminishing. At the same time, the use of fossil fuels is slowly being reduced because it pollutes the environment. Research into ...

Data maps serve the purpose of visually representing information. They are especially useful for allowing people to grasp complex data structures. An interactive data map adds the functionality of people and systems being ...

This study examined the energy dependence of cancer cells. Glucose was found to be their main energy source. It seems possible to use this dependence to advantage in the fight against cancer. A novel experiment to reduce ...

Advances in the knowledge of chemical structure of coal and development of high performance computational techniques led to more than hundred and thirty four proposed molecular level representations (models) of coal ...

In the past several decades, energy efficiency has become increasingly important. A large driver behind this is reducing greenhouse gases that are caused by the combustion of fossil fuels. Most electricity generated in ...

South Africa experienced a severe shortfall in electricity supply during 2008. Eskom, the national electricity supplier, implemented several strategies to alleviate the situation. The Power Conservation Programme set the ...

As the operational costs of deep-level mines increase and gold ore grades decrease, profitability in the South African gold mining sector is becoming a challenge. Electricity tariff increases moreover contribute to the ...

Eskom, the South African state owned power utility, offers a demand side management (DSM) program that suggests different electrical energy tariffs during different times of the day for large consumers of electrical energy, ...

South Africa‟s electricity generation is primarily through coal, and this contributes significantly to the country‟s high carbon emissions. In 2010, the Department of Energy, initiated the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) ...
