Assessment of the ergonomic design of self-contained self-rescuer (SCSR) devices for use by women in mining
(SAIMM, 2020)
Increasing numbers of women are entering the South African mining industry, but self-contained
self-rescuer (SCSR) devices might not be suited to female anthropometric dimensions. The aim of this
project was to assess ...
Investigation of effective chemical flocculation conditions for the treatment of reverse osmosis reject water from coal power plant: a case study
(Desalination Publications, 2020)
Power generation processes generate wastewater that is rich in scale-forming agents and which,
therefore, requires suitable pre-treatment prior to further treatment with an RO system. In this
study, Rheofloc5023 was used ...
THE EFFECT OF ENTREPRENEURIAL ORIENTATION OF SMES AND LABOUR-INTENSIVENESS IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
(IBC, 2021)
Human resources are valuable and must be well managed to obtain optimal value. Best performances, entrepreneurial orientation and the labour-intensive nature of the construction industry are important factors to ...
SMALLHOLDER MAIZE FARMER’S WILLINGNESS TO JOIN INDEX INSURANCE IN VHEMBE DISTRICT: LIMPOPO PROVINCE
(IBC, 2021)
Only a negligible proportion of smallholder farmers in South Africa have crop insurance to mitigate production risks. This article analyses the demand for index-based crop insurance by smallholder farmers in ...
Dynamical modelling of brightest cluster galaxies: constraints on the IMF
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2020)
We study the stellar and dynamical masses, as well as the stellar populations, of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) located in 32 massive clusters, and for a sub-sample of these use the results to place constraints on the ...
Stellar and dynamical masses of brightest cluster galaxies
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2020)
We investigate the stellar and dynamical mass profiles of 32 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs, MK = −25.7 to −27.8 mag) in massive clusters (0.05 < z < 0.30), and in particular the rising velocity dispersion profiles of ...
Implicit convolution Fokker-Planck equations: extended Feller convolution
(Springer, 2020)
Fokker-Planck equations are partial differential equations in the transition function of the Markov process. In the evolution equation approach, we re-write partial differential equations as ordinary differential equations ...
TRADITIONAL APPROACHES AND LEADERSHIP PERSPECTIVES ON SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION PRACTICES IN AFRICA
(IBC, 2021)
Environmental sustainability has become a priority agenda globally, with World bodies such as the UN, UNESCO and World Bank encouraging environmental restoration with various incentives for all nations (UNCTAD, 2019; ...
Intelligent controller for a hybrid energy storage system
(IEEE, 2020)
The performance and range of electric vehicles are largely determined by the characteristics of the energy storage system (EES) used. The EES should be sufficiently sized to be able to provide the necessary power and energy ...
Meeting Students’ Expectations of Blended Learning
(Research Association for Interdisciplinary Studies, 2020)
Blended learning as a mode of delivery is widespread in universities. It has gained even
more prominence during the Covid-19 pandemic. Most educational programs in many countries had to be
adapted abruptly to remote ...
