The use of an information security vocabulary test to assess information security awareness: an exploratory study
(Centre for Security, Communications and Network Research (CSCAN), 2010)The dependence on human involvement and human behavior to protect information assets makes it necessary to have an information security awareness program to make people aware of their roles and responsibilities towards ... -
The use of cytokines as indicators for drug safety
(Elsevier, 2019)In developing new compounds, questions about safety and efficacy are raised. Conventional preclinical studies of new compounds focus on bio-distribution, toxicology, safety pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, efficacy etc., ... -
The use of disruptive information technologies for competitive advantage in the banking sector of South Africa.
(Hempstead, NY : International Business Information Management Association (IBIMA), 2009)The main focus of this paper is to determine the impact of disruptive technology in the ICT environment and how new technologies can be managed in a secured architecture framework of organisations in the banking sector. ... -
The use of optimisation modelling for energy recovery investment decision making
(IEEE, 2019)Investment decision making is a common occurrence for any engineering company. These investments include any possibility from relative inexpensive to extremely costly equipment. When power generation turbine procurements ... -
The use of SDMS in developing e-learning systems in South Africa
(MCCSIS, 2014)The main focus of this study is to determine if systems development methodologies (SDMs) are being utilised in the development of electronic learning systems in South Africa. Electronic learning, or e-learning, is being ... -
The use of system development methodologies in the development of mobile applications: are they worthy of use?
(IEEE, 2018)The implementation of system development methodologies (SDMs) in mobile applications (mobile apps) development has a positive effect on companies and their respective software projects. SDMs provide a framework for planning, ... -
The use of tracking technology for improved management of trade corridors
(IEEE, 2013)The sub-Sahara African economy is suffering from the inefficient management of trade corridors. Long delays experienced at weigh bridges and border posts are a big contributor towards the slow average movement of freight. ... -
Using an effective viscosity to account for the effect of the walls on the pressure drop through an annular packed bed
(ASME, 2009)The question arose whether the correlation for the pressure drop prescribed for cylindrical pebble bed reactors by the Nuclear Safety Commission (KTA) of Germany could still be applied to the proposed annular configuration ... -
Using antenarrative approaches to investigate the perceptions of information systems’ actors regarding failure and success
(Springer, 2011)Many Information Systems are viewed as underperforming by failing to meet expectations or deliver value to customers. In order to try and understand why these problems occur we apply narrative methods in the IS domain, ... -
Using information and communication technology to improve the efficiency of African border posts
(IEEE, 2015)African border posts have long been characterized by high levels of inefficiency, resulting in long cross-border delays that hamper the African economy. This partly results from the conflicting objectives of the multiplicity ... -
Using mobile networks for effective cold chain management
(SATNAC, 2014)Research has shown that substantial in transit losses in perishable cargo are sustained due to malpractices in cold chain logistics. Such losses are even more prevalent in developing countries where supply chain systems ... -
Using visual texture analysis to classify raw coal components
(IEEE, 2015)Coal ore isn’t a uniform material. In order to optimize the coal liberation process it is necessary to classify a coal ore sample into its constituent components as quickly and cheaply possible. This paper investigates ... -
Utilising fluctuating off-gases more efficiently in a power co-generation environment through less flaring
(IEEE, 2016)Common engineering practice is to generate steam from burnable off-gases, in boiler houses, where excess steam is allocated for power generation after plant requirements are met. If the quantities or chemical composition ... -
The validation of single point measurements for the localization of multiple harmonic sources
(IEEE, 2010)Power quality management requires inexpensive and simple methods for electric power quality monitoring. This paper investigates the validity of single point measurements for the localization of sources of waveform distortion ... -
Validierung eines Gleitfanglagermodells durch Abwurfversuche
(LCM GmbH, 2012)Der Betrieb magnetgelagerter Maschinen er-fordert grundsätzlich den Einsatz von Fangla-gern. Diese nehmen den Rotor bei Maschinen-stillstand, bei abgeschalteter Magnetlagerung oder bei Magnetlagerversagen auf. Es wird ... -
Valorisation of waste lignin for phenol derivative compounds using hydrothermal liquefaction
(EUBCE, 2019)Approximately 95% of global phenolic compounds (such as catechol, guaiacol, syringol, and vanillin) used in the pharmaceutical, fragrance and industrial industries are produced from petroleum-based phenolics such as benzene. ... -
Variance-based sensitivity of localized sulphation to microporous separator properties using a distributed parameter model of a valve-regulated lead-acid battery
(Electrochemical Society, 2016)Progressive sulphation of the negative electrode in a lead-acid battery under high-rate operation remains a serious problem. This study investigates how healthier end-of-discharge conditions, in a valve-regulated lead-acid ... -
Verifying the cooling capacity and power consumption of thermoelectric cooling holders for vaccine storage
(IEEE, 2015)The purpose of this paper is to verify the power consumption of different topologies of cooling system for the storage of vaccine in a portable solar powered vaccine carrier box for the domestic use in South Africa. The ... -
Very-high energy emission from pulsars
(SAIP, 2015)The vast majority of pulsars detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) display exponentially cutoff spectra with cutoffs falling in a narrow band around a few GeV. Early spectral modelling predicted spectral cutoffs ...
