Author:Naidoo, Darryl; Roux, FS; Dubery, Angela L; Litvin, Ihar; Piccirillo, BDate:Oct 2016We introduce a laser for generating all states on the Higher-order Poincaré sphere by coupling spin angular momentum to orbital angular momentum and we demonstrate that the OAM degeneracy of a laser may be broken.Read more
Author:Grundling, WDate:Oct 2012The purpose of this particular test is to
evaluate and identify the behaviour of
pressure in a semi-confined space, after
which it has been partially confined by
making use of a ballistic pendulum. The approach will be to conduct tests ...Read more
Author:Rivers-Moore, NA; Goodman, PS; Nel, JLDate:Jan 2011River systems have strong linear linkages and require innovative solutions to capture these linkages from aquatic conservation planners. The authors applied an approach to freshwater conservation planning to freshwater ecosystems of KwaZulu-Natal ...Read more
Author:Butgereit, LL; Botha, RADate:Sep 2010Scalability is a critical characteristic for successful software solutions - especially networked software and social software. Scalability can be defined as how well the software platform which provided help to primary and secondary school ...Read more
Author:Mostert, FJ; Olivier, MariusDate:Oct 2011It is well known that an intense flash of light is emitted when an explosive charge is detonated. The light emission continues well beyond the actual detonation process due to shock excitation of the air molecules around the charge, as well ...Read more
