Author:Yuan, C; Tozuka, T; Landman, WA; Yamagata, TDate:2014Prediction skill for southern African (16°–33°E, 22°–35°S) summer precipitation in the Scale Interaction Experiment-Frontier coupled model is assessed for the period of 1982–2008. Using three different observation datasets, deterministic ...Read more
Author:Brown, Dane; Bradshaw, KDate:Sep 2016The face, fingerprint and palmprint feature vectors are automatically extracted and dynamically selected for fusion at the feature-level, toward an improved human identification accuracy. The feature-level has a higher potential accuracy than ...Read more
Author:Shatalov, M; Fedotov, I; Joubert, SDate:2006It was shown in 1985 by Acad. V. Zhuravlev that the angular rate of a pure vibrating mode excited in a vibratory gyroscope with spherical symmetry is proportional to an inertial angular rate of the gyroscope. The effect is three dimensional ...Read more

Author:Jovanovic, Nebojsa; Mu, Q; Bugan, Richard DH; Zhao, MDate:Jan 2015This paper describes the dynamics of evapotranspiration (ET) in South Africa using MOD16 ET satellite-derived data, and analyses the inter-dependency of variables used in the ET algorithm of Mu et al. (2011). Annual evapotranspiration is ...Read more
Author:Shatalov, M; Coetzee, CDate:May 2009The parametric electrode is normally used in the hemispherical resonator gyroscopes, operating in the whole angle regime, for maintaining of amplitudes of vibratory patterns. It is well known that due to variation of the gap between the ...Read more
Author:Everard, DA; Midgley, JJ; Van Wyk, GFDate:Dec 1995Indigenous forest in Kwa Zulu-Natal has been fairly well described, however, very little has been published on its dynamics. There is, to our knowledge, nothing published on disturbances regimes, dendrology and life histories of constituent ...Read more
