    • GRB observations with H.E.S.S. 

      Piel, Quentin; Böttcher, Markus; Arcaro, Cornelia; Ashkar, Halim; Bissaldi, Elisabetta (Sissa Medialab, 2019)
      Fermi-LAT observations have proven that GeV γ-ray emission is a relatively common feature for many Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB). However the low effective area of space detectors implies low statistics for high-energy photons ...

      Terblanche, Juanita T.; Kroeze, Jan H.; Gilliland, Sonja (IBIMA, 2010)
      Research has been conducted both in the field of Human-Computer Interaction and in the field of design and creation. Very little research has been conducted in the area of tax registration systems. No research was carried ...
    • H.E.S.S. discovery of very-high-energy gamma-ray emission of PKS 1440-389 

      Prokoph, H.; Böttcher, M.; Sushch, I.; Becherinia, Y.; Boisson, C. (Sissa Medialab, 2015)
      Blazars are the most abundant class of known extragalactic very-high-energy (VHE, E>100 GeV) gamma-ray sources. However, one of the biggest difficulties in investigating their VHE emission resides in their limited number, ...
    • The H.E.S.S. II GRB observation scheme 

      Parsons, R.D.; Garrigoux, T.; Schüssler, F.; Balzer, A.; Füssling, M. (AIP, 2017)
      Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are some of the Universe’s most enigmatic and exotic events. However, at energies above 10 GeV their behaviour remains largely unknown. Although space based telescopes such as the Fermi-LAT have ...
    • Hard spectral tails in magnetars 

      Wadiasingh, Zorawar; Baring, Matthew G.; Gonthier, Peter L.; Harding, Alice K. (Cambridge Univ Press, 2017)
      Pulsed non-thermal quiescent emission between 10 keV and around 150 keV has been observed in ~10 magnetars. For inner magnetospheric models of such hard X-ray signals, resonant Compton upscattering of soft thermal photons ...
    • Hard X-ray quiescent emission in magnetars via resonant Compton upscattering 

      Baring, M.G.; Wadiasingh, Z.; Gonthier, P.L.; Harding, A.K. (IOP Publishing, 2017)
      Non-thermal quiescent X-ray emission extending between 10 keV and around 150 keV has been seen in about 10 magnetars by RXTE, INTEGRAL, Suzaku, NuSTAR and Fermi- GBM. For inner magnetospheric models of such hard X-ray ...
    • Harmonic emission assessment on a distribution network: the opportunity for the prevailing angle in harmonic phasors 

      Peterson, Brandon; Rens, Johan; Desmet, Jan (IET, 2017)
      Harmonic emission assessment in high-voltage networks with a number of renewable power plants (RPP) interconnected is challenging. A sound scientific methodology readily accessible to engineers is needed to validate ...
    • Harmonic impedance assessment using prevailing phasors 

      Serfontein, Duan; Rens, Johan; Botha, Gerhard (IEEE, 2018)
      In accordance with the IEC 61000-3-6, the evaluation of the harmonic emissions requires an accurate harmonic impedance representation of the system. However, the assessment of a harmonic impedance is understood to be a ...
    • Harmonious industrialization: classifying, connecting and valuating industries based on their contribution to human need 

      Darwish, Hasan (IEOM, 2017)
      An industry can be defined as a system within which homogenous processes strive toward a common generalizable outp ut. An industry comprises various economic, social and environmental activities. Various ...
    • Hazardous particles from coal fires from Santa Catarina, South Brazil 

      De Medeiros, Diego; Waanders, F.; Oliveira, M.; Sa, F.; Taffarel, S. (International Pittsburgh Coal Conference, 2016)
    • Heading alignment with summarized inertial pose constraints 

      Fourie, Dehann; Uren, Kenny; Van Schoor, George (IEEE, 2014)
      A discontinuity seems to exist in present aided inertial navigation systems – the operational availability of high cost inertial navigation currently depends on the availability of a valid GPS lock. In general GPS ...
