Enabling faith : towards a Pentecostal homiletical strategy for shaping disability-friendly congregations
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)The central theoretical argument of the present study is that it is possible to develop a Pentecostal homiletical strategy that may contribute to shaping disability-friendly congregations in the AFM and other classical ... -
Analysis of the porous structure of an annular pebble bed reactor
(Atomic Energy Society of Japan, 2009)This paper discusses the numerical analysis of the porous structure of an annular packed bed. Numerical procedures are described to determine the variation in the porosity, the variation in the coordination number (measure ... -
An investigation into the incorporation of sustainability principles in the Environmental Management Programme and Social and Labour Plan for a gold mine, South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)Sustainable development in gold mining is crucial to ensure that resources are extracted in a responsible manner to the benefit of the environment, society, the economy and all other integral factors that affect sustainability ... -
Accounting for porous structure in effective thermal conductivity calculations in a pebble bed reactor
(Atomic Energy Society of Japan, 2009)A proper understanding of the mechanisms of heat transfer, flow and pressure drop through a packed bed of spheres is of utmost importance in the design of a high temperature pebble bed reactor. A thorough knowledge of the ... -
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 ... -
Dooyeweerd's philosophy entails no support for Apartheid whatsoever
(Vereniging vir Christelike Hoër Onderwys, 2015)In an article on Afrikaner nationalism, apartheid and the perversion of critique, Rèné Eloff argues that E.A. Venter and H.J. Strauss drew upon the philosophy of Herman Dooyeweerd to justify separate development and that ... -
The extraction of the temperature gradient from measured temperature profiles with uncertainty propagation, as applied to the high temperature test unit
(SAAM, 2010)This paper highlights the usefulness of applying analytical methods for uncertainty analysis to a least-squares polynomial fit. It also presents an equation to calculate the confidence interval in the slope of a regression ... -
Die erkenning van minderheidsgroepe, hulle ideale en hulle onderwysstrewe: Is daar ’n ander manier?
(Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns, 2014)The history of most countries, including those regarded as relatively culturally homogeneous, has demonstrated that practically all of them are composed of minority groups and that many of these groups struggle for survival. ... -
The learning strategy prism: perspectives of learning strategy experts
(Elsevier, 2014)This article analyzes six short narratives written by language learning strategy experts from Germany, South Africa, Canada, and the United States. The six essays, included in full here, form a prism, through which a ray ... -
Action research for the 21st century: exploring new educational pathways
(Unisa, 2014)Twenty years into democracy in South Africa, poverty and disease continue to limit the life prospects of the majority of people. Researchers in higher education have an opportunity, not to mention a moral obligation, to ... -
Weaknesses of South African education in the mirror image of international educational development
(Education Association of South Africa, 2014)The aim of this article is to present a systematic, holistic evaluation of the South African education system, using international benchmarks as the yardstick. A theoretical model for the evaluation of a national education ... -
The centrality of the research question for locating PhD studies in the global knowledge society
(University of Stellenbosch, 2014)Although classified as a developing country, South Africa lags far behind other BRICS member countries. A cause for concern is that the number of PhD studies rather than what they contribute is often used to measure their ... -
Women in mining: a conceptual framework for gender issues in the South African mining sector
(University of South Africa, 2015)New mining legislation aims to rectify previous inequalities and disadvantages in the mining sector and specifically provides for the inclusion of women in core mining activities. Although there is no lack of good will, ... -
The collusive power of modernism and reductionism: the need for alternative ontologies of land in the context of South African land redistribution
(American Theological Library Association, 2015) -
The flow and heat transfer in a packed bed high temperature gas-cooled reactor
(ASME, 2010)Engineers are faced with two major challenges when carrying out the thermal-fluid design of a complex system consisting of many interacting components such as the PBMR power plant. The first challenge is to predict the ...
