The production of low-carbon energy products from biomass gasification is encouraged,
in order to expand our sources of energy and to mitigate the harmful impact of the pollutants on the climate and the environment. The ...
For research in speech processing and analysis of audio content in general, extensive data sets are
required. Creating such a dataset manually turns out to be time and labour consuming, but it is a
task very suitable ...
The recent advances of e-commerce and e-payment systems have sparked an increase in financial fraud cases such as credit card fraud. It is therefore crucial to implement mechanisms that can detect the credit card fraud. ...
Maize (zea mays) is the staple food of Southern Africa and most of the African regions. This staple food has
been threatened by a lot of diseases in terms of its yield and existence. Within this domain, it is important ...
In this paper, we demonstrate the fabrication of S-shaped micron-sized constrictions on steel (Fe3CII) surface using the femtosecond
laser ablation technique. The femtosecond laser used has a wavelength of 775 nm, a power ...
In the field of computer vision, multi-class outdoor weather classification is a difficult task to
perform due to diversity and lack of distinct weather characteristic or features. This research
proposed a novel framework ...
We live in a world with ever-increasing digital technology, hence the need for enhanced security systems is vital. In the past a simple PIN or password would have been sufficient to maintain the integrity of security ...
This system monitors and controls the temperature in a marine aquarium. This system measures the water temperature in an aquarium and then uses a heater and cooling fan to control the temperature within a range of 25-27°C. ...
Small-scale wind turbines were not considered viable in the past due to their poor
efficiencies, mainly because of their aerodynamic effects around the irfoil shape. Recently
researchers have renewed interest in enhancing ...
The PID controller is regarded as a dependable and reliable controller for process industry systems. Many researchers have devoted time and attention to PID controller tuning and they all agree that PID controllers are ...
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) is a critical part of monitoring and
controlling of the electrical substation. The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the
performance of the Distributed Network ...
The work title ‘Use of Recovery-by-Size Data from Batch Testing in Estimating the
Performance of Continuous Flotation Operations’ seeks to validate available
theories against recovery-by-size batch flotation data and ...
Facial expression recognition (FER) is still a challenging concept, and machines struggle to
comprehend effectively the dynamic shifts in facial expressions of human emotions. The
existing systems, which have proven to ...
The objective of this thesis was to identify the mechanisms associated with the recurrence of rock-slope instability along the R518 and R523 roads in Limpopo. Advanced geotechnical methods and ASTER imagery were used for ...
This project provides a solution that alerts management if an Air Traffic Service Unit (ATSU) tower is unmanned during operational hours. The project makes provision for an access control with an automated on duty notification ...
In this paper, I report on the fabrication of micron-sized constrictions in YBCO thin films using the femtosecond laser technique.
The constrictions are S-shaped superconducting weak links fabricated on YBCO thin films. ...
The project arose as a result of the need to use the femtosecond laser to fabricate sub-micron and Nano-sized bridges that could be analyzed for the Josephson effect. The femtosecond laser has a low pulse duration of 130 ...
Home automation is an intelligent, functional as a
unit system that facilitates home processes without unnecessarily
complicating the user’s life. Devices can be connected, which in
turn connect and talk through a ...
In this paper Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED)
that use ethernet for communicating with substation devices on
the grid where modelled in OPNET. There is a need to test the
communication protocol performance over the ...
During Substation maintenance a bay is taken out
of service, tested and during testing traffic is generated on the
Substation Communication Network (SCN) in a power utility. A
model of a Substation Communication Network ...
