Author:Landman, K; Liebermann, SDate:Jun 1999This paper addresses the built environment, the opportunities it presents for crime and the role city planners and urban designers have to play in the design of safer cities and towns. City planners and urban designers can play a role in the ...Read more
Author:Gelderblom, H; Kotzé, PaulaDate:Oct 2008The majority of guidelines and principles for design of technology are aimed at products for adults. The limited guidelines available for design of young children’s technology do not focus sufficiently on age-related requirements or they offer ...Read more
Author:Engelbrecht, L; Botha, Adèle; Alberts, RDate:Apr 2015The construction of an artifact to visually represent information is usually required by Information Visualization research projects. The end product of design science research is also an artifact and therefore it can be argued that design ...Read more
Author:Snedden, Glen C; Roos, TH; Naidoo, KavendraDate:Sep 2003Previous simulations of a turbojet disc cavity with full Navier-Stokes CFD and simplified geometry and boundary conditions have been improved to reduce the level of approximation. A new grid was built using a multi-block approach. The case ...Read more

Author:Kortidis, Ioannis; Swart, HC; Ray, Suprakas S; Motaung, David EDate:Mar 2019An unceasing scientific challenge to monitor the emissions of toxic and flammable gases in a selective approach is of great importance for safety of human health. As a result, herein, we report on the detailed study of the gas sensing ...Read more
Author:Nel, Willem AJ; Stanton, D; Abdul Gaffar, MYDate:Oct 2009ISAR imagery of ships are complicated by the 3-D motion of the target, which causes blurring in the imagery. A technique is proposed which could help detect such motion and prove useful to both analyse the 3-D motion as well as possibly help ...Read more
Author:Keet, CMDate:Oct 2012OWL 2 DL is a very expressive language and has many features for declaring complex object property expressions. Standard reasoning services for OWL ontologies assume the axioms in the "object property box" to be correct and according to the ...Read more
Author:Gibson, L; Engelbrecht, Jeanine; Rush, DDate:Sep 2019Increasing global urbanisation is leading to a rise in the number of people living in informal settlements, challenging our ability to achieve sustainable development goals. As a consequence of high building density, inadequate building methods ...Read more
Author:Wessels, Konrad J; Steenkamp, Karen C; Von Maltitz, Graham P; Archibald, SDate:2011Vegetation phenology refers to the timing of seasonal biological events (for example, bud burst, leaf unfolding, vegetation growth and leaf senescence) and biotic and abiotic forces that control these. Daily, coarse-resolution satellite imagery ...Read more
Author:Salmon, BP; Kleynhans, W; Van den Bergh, F; Olivier, JC; Wessels, Konrad JDate:Jul 2012In this paper, the internal operations of an Extended Kalman Filter is investigated to see if any useful information can be derived to detect land cover change in a MODIS time series. The Extended Kalman Filter expands its internal covariance ...Read more
Author:Kleynhans, W; Salmon, BP; Olivier, JC; Van den Bergh, F; Wessels, Konrad J; Grobler, TDate:Jul 2012There has been recent developments in the use of hypertemporal satellite time series data for land cover change detection and classification. Recently, an Autocorrelation function (ACF) change detection method was proposed to detect the ...Read more
