An approach to improve the match-on-card fingerprint authentication system security
(IEEE, 2016)The combination of smart cards and biometrics results in a strong 2-factor authentication. It facilitates a trusted credential for authenticating an individual's identity through one-to-one biometric verification using the ... -
Aspects that need to be addressed during the development of location-based games
(Springer, 2018)To determine the suitability of a software development methodology (SDM) to aid in the development of location-based games, it is necessary to determine to what degree SDMs address certain aspects that need to be addressed ... -
Assessment of a statistical approach that facilitates the constraint of pulsar geometry via dualband light curve fitting
(Sissa Medialab, 2017)The Large Area Telescope aboard the Fermi spacecraft has detected more than 200 γ-ray pulsars since its launch in 2008. By concurrently fitting standard geometric model light curves onto Fermi and radio data, researchers ... -
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 ... -
Assessment of the performance of SDS-impregnated brewery waste as suitable adsorbent for the removal of Pb and Cd from water
(EARET, 2018)— Due to increasing populations and an ever-changing climate, limited water resources are South Africa’s burden. Clean water is important for all living organisms’ health and environmental sustainability. To achieve ... -
An assessment of the role of cultural factors in information security awareness
(IEEE, 2011)An information security awareness program is regarded as an important instrument in the protection of information assets. In this study, the traditional approach to an information security awareness program is extended to ... -
Association between dietary habits, body composition indices and HbA1c of adult type-2 diabetes patients attending routine out-patient clinic review: a cross-sectional study
(Karger, 2017)Background and objectives: Low intake of fruits, vegetables, excessive energy intake and reduced physical activities has been associated with type-2 diabetes (T2DM) and it associated co-morbidities. Unhealthy ... -
The ASTRI dual-mirror small-size Cherenkov telescope
(Sissa Medialab, 2018)The ASTRI dual-mirror small-size telescope (ASTRI-Horn) is an imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope that was developed by the Italian National Institute of Astrophysics (INAF) within the framework of the Cherenkov Telescope ... -
Attenuation effect with non-linear loads for small stand-alone grids
(IEEE, 2016)This paper presents the effect of non-linear loads on the overall voltage quality in small powered stand-alone (islanded) systems. The iterative effect between current and voltage distortion is related to the source's ... -
Automated electricity bill analysis in South Africa
(Univ Stellenbosch, 2017)The ever-increasing cost of energy puts industries under pressure. Industries are forced to monitor their energy consumption and to manage energy more efficiently and responsibly. Some industrial companies have multiple ... -
Automatic infarct planimetry by means of swarm-based clustering
(PRASA, 2014)Infarct planimetry is an important tool in cardiology research. At present this technique entails that infarct size is manually determined from scanned images of prepared heart sections. Existing attempts at automating ... -
Automatic vs manual assessment of programming tasks
(ACM, 2017)Lecturers are struggling to keep up with their daily responsibilities because of an ever-increasing workload. Manual programming assessment processes are time-consuming, but a possible solution is to use the assistance of ... -
Backup bearing modelling for turbo machines with high axial and radial loads
(s.n, 2014)The use of active magnetic bearings (AMBs) in turbo machines is an active research topic and the implementation in industrial applications is becoming commonplace. This is especially true when investigating the backup ... -
Behavioural thresholds in the context of information security
(HAISA, 2016)This research presents the exploratory application of behavioural threshold theory on group behaviour related to information security. Behavioural threshold analysis is presented as a possible tool for aiding the development ... -
Benefits of improved performance monitoring of mine cooling systems
(IEEE, 2014)Mine cooling system components are an integral part of a mine's ventilation system. A mine's reliance on these capital intensive components are set to increase as mines deepen. Mine cooling systems consume up to a quarter ... -
Bentonitc clay adsorption affinity for anionic and cationic dyes
(PSRC, 2014)The incidence of dye pollution in South Africa is quite alarming, requesting effective and affordable techniques to curb further degradation of the limited water resource. Adsorption is an attractive technique due to a ... -
Bio-butanol fermentation using clostridium acetobutylicum and clostridium tetanomorphum in modified bioreactor flasks
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2015)An alternative new generation biofuel to bio-ethanol has attracted researchers to investigate various approaches for optimization of traditional ABE fermentation to enable bio-butanol to be produced cheaper at an industrial ... -
Bio-oil and bio-char production from sunflower hulls
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2011)In this paper, the hydrothermal liquefaction of sunflower hulls into biooil and biochar is presented. The main manipulated variables that were studied were biomass load, catalyst type and temperature. The experimental ... -
Bioethanol from cassava for a community project
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2010)Although the North-West Province of South Africa is renowned for its platinum industry, wildlife tourism and Casino resorts, its people are among the poorest in South Africa. The Thusanang community project concept was ...
