Robust torque ripple mitigation of a line-start PMSM by means of the Taguchi method
(IEEE, 2019)
—In this paper, a robust design framework is proposed
to mitigate torque ripple for line-start permanent magnet synchronous machines (LS-PMSM) by using the Taguchi method.
The framework is intended for fine-tuning initial ...
Comparative study of steam vs hot water as primary heat transfer medium for a laboratory scale two-tank heated system
(IEEE, 2019)
The need exists for a benchmark multi-domain practical system that could emulate typical process faults for the purposes of condition monitoring. A proposition was made to develop a heated two-tank system, due to its ...
A discourse model of affect for text-to-speech synthesis
(Pattern recognition association of South Africa (PRASA), 2013)
This paper introduces a model of affect to improve prosody in text-to-speech synthesis. It operates on the discourse level of text to predict the underlying linguistic factors that contribute towards emotional appraisal, ...
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 ...
CREAK descriptor evaluation for visual odometry
(IEEE, 2019)
Each year, latest state of the art technologies and algorithms arise that claim and prove to-shine their predecessors. One such algorithm is the Colour-based Retina Key-point (CREAK) descriptor, which is based on the FAST ...
Addressing the total human being: work-integrated learning for ICT student
(IADIS Press, 2013)
Information and communication technology (ICT) is essential to the operation of business, and create many employment opportunities. High volumes of students graduate in ICT however students struggle to find job placement. ...
Learners’ perceptions of mobile devices for learning in higher education - towards a mobile learning pedagogical framework
(WASET, 2013)
The dramatic effect of information technology on society is undeniable. In education, it is evident in the use of terms like active learning, blended learning, electronic learning and mobile learning (ubiquitous learning). ...
Making data structures and algorithms more understandable by programming sudoku the human way
(WASET, 2013)
Data Structures and Algorithms is a module in most Computer Science or Information Technology curricula. It is one of the modules most students identify as being difficult. This paper demonstrates how programming a solution ...
Towards lecture transcription in resource-scarce environments
(Pattern recognition association of South Africa (PRASA), 2012)
We present progress towards automated Lecture Transcription (LT) in resource scarce environments. Our development has focused on the transcription of lectures in Afrikaans from two faculties at North-West University. A ...
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 ...
