Accelerating flight: Edge with arbitrary acceleration

Author: Gledhill, Irvy MA Date: Nov 2011 This study concludes the possession of a theoretical framework for arbitrary manoeuvre which allows us to keep an eye on transformations. In the theory, relative frame equations are useful in guiding us in what to look for. The code is in the ... Read more
Accelerating model learning with inter-robot knowledge transfer

Author: Makondo, Ndivhuwo ; Rosman, Benjamin S ; Hasegawa, O Date: May 2018 Online learning of a robot’s inverse dynamics model for trajectory tracking necessitates an interaction between the robot and its environment to collect training data. This is challenging for physical robots in the real world, especially for ... Read more
Acceleration effects on missile aerodynamics

Author: Gledhill, Irvy MA ; Nordström, J Date: 01 Sep 2010 Practical requirements are now arising in which significant acceleration takes place during flight; 5th generation missiles, such as A-Darter, execute turns at 100 g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity, and thrust from propulsion ...

Acceleration parameters for fluid physics with accelerating bodies

Author: Gledhill, Irvy MA ; Roohani, H ; Biobaku, A ; Skews, B Date: Jun 2016 Theoretical work on transforming the Navier-Stokes equations into arbitrarily accelerating frames has included the continuity, momentum, and energy conservation equations. An analysis of the momentum equation in non-dimensional terms leads ... Read more
Acceptability of the integral solar water heater by householders in the low income urban community

Author: Basson, FA ; Jammine, E ; Heyl, L Date: 1984 A research and demonstration project on the use and performance of low cost integral solar water heaters in urban low-income dwellings was carried out in 1982/83. The project involved technical and socio-economic components. This report ... Read more
Acceptable indoor thermal conditions and implications for energy conservation in continental climate

Author: Wentzel, JD ; Kok, R ; Lewis, MI ; Meese, GB Date: Aug 1983 Discuss the indoor temperature ranges found acceptable by occupants of buildings controlled by passive means, in areas where the influence of land mass dominates the local climate Read more
Acceptance of enterprise resource planning systems by small manufacturing enterprises

Author: Adam, R ; Kotzé, Paula ; Van der Merwe, A Date: Jun 2011 ERP systems are widely used by large enterprises for managing functional areas of the enterprise. However, recently ERP systems have also been introduced to the small enterprise market. ERP systems are now considered an important small ... Read more
An access-technology agnostic delivery model for ICT4D services

Author: Herselman, Martha E ; Botha, Adèle ; Makitla, I Date: Feb 2012 The components of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) are Computing, Connectivity, Content and Capacity. These components, dubbed the 4C Framework (because the name of each of these four components starts with letter “c”), are ... Read more
Access-technology agnostic delivery platform for ICT4D services

Author: Makitla, I ; Fogwill, T ; Botha, Adèle Date: Oct 2012 The core approach of this research project, which is informed by the concept of “digital difference”, is to leverage the existing technological infrastructure and capacity (know-how) in a community to enable delivery of ICT4D content and ...
