An exploratory study into the current status of knowledge management within an academic library
(University of Pretoria, 2001)
Aim of study: The purpose of this study is to investigate the current knowledge management status within the Academic Information Service at the University of Pretoria. Research method: A literature study was conducted to ...
Introducing a neutron detector model into the oscar 3 calculational code system and validation with Koeberg reactor calculations
(North-West University (South Africa), 2001)
The objective of this research is to develop accurate and efficient computational methods of
predicting neutron detector responses by introducing a neutron detector model into the OSCAR-3
code system. The importance of ...
Implementation of a time of flight detection sysytem for elastically recoiled ions at the Ithemba laboratory for accelerator based science (Ithemba labs).
(North-West University (South Africa), 2001)
The characterization of materials is an important feature in the development of
technologically important materials. The aim of this study was to contribute to the
implementation of Elastic Recoil Detection (ERD), using ...
Background Radioactivity in the North West Province
(North-West University (South Africa), 2001)
The unavailability of the background radioactivity baseline data of the North West
province for the various geological units is a problem from the radiation protection point
of view. The regulation of the nuclear industry ...
A behavioural study of fission products released into the helium coolant of the PBMR with special emphasis on Fresco-II and Spatra codes
(North-West University (South Africa), 2001)
The fission products release rates into the helium coolant for the PBMR reactor, and their plate-out (sedimentation) were numerically calculated. These were done using the well known FRESCO-II and SPATRA codes respectively ...
Mikrobiologiese produksie van biosurfaktante vanaf organiese industriële-uitvloeisel
(North-West University (South Africa), 2001)
The objective of this study was to isolate bacteria capable of growing on
organic industrial effluents and producing biosurfactants from these effluents
and the characterisation of the produced surfactants. Three organisms ...
Fire probabilistic risk assessment applied to the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor
(North-West University (South Africa), 2001)
A methodology for assessing the frequencies of fire occurrences in the PBMR nuclear power plant is presented. Fire is a concern because it may lead to loss of support systems, which could result in the failure of dependent ...
Development of a Micro-PIXE facility for analysis of geological samples
(North-West University (South Africa), 2001)
This work involved the development of a collimated micro-PIXE facility for analysis of geological samples. The old facility operated very well but there were problems encountered during its operation. The ion beam spot was ...
Assessing drought resistance in selected Vigna unguiculata lines using phenotypical and physiological criteria under controlled conditions
(North-West University (South Africa), 2001)
The natural resources in Africa are under enormous strain to support its human and animal
population. Drought is one of the major factors contributing to this dilemma. In the selection
of crops it is important to use ...
The dynamics of certain grass species used during the restoration of degraded semi-arid rangelands
(North-West University (South Africa), 2001)
Addressing desertification in South Africa requires the restoration of degraded
land, particularly degraded pasture. Enhanced (coated) and untreated seed of
four palatable, perennial grass species and one semi-perennial ...
