Author:Zbonak, A; Bush, TDate:Sep 2006An investigation was conducted to test the feasibility of near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) as a tool for predicting the microfibril angle (MFA) of solid wood samples of Pinus patula. Thirty 14 year-old trees were selected from three compartments ...Read more
Author:Veerasamy, Namosha; Eloff, JHPDate:Jul 2008Network warfare is an emerging concept that focuses on the network and computer based forms through which information is attacked and defended. Various computer and network security concepts thus play a role in network warfare. Due the intricacy ...Read more
Author:Jahajeeah, NDate:2006Numerical modelling has successfully been used as an efficient tool to convert a gravity cast brake calliper to a thixocasting process. The thixo-modue of Procast has been used for the modelling process to obtain optimum processing parameters. ...Read more
Author:Van Den Broek, GJDate:Jul 1984The effect of aircraft wind modelling on the external store loads is investigated by computing that effect for the external flow field generated by the wing. The application of the panelling /boundary condition method to the perturbation flow ...Read more

Author:de Wet, P; du Plessis, JP; Woudberg, SDate:May 2010In many of the continuum processes typically found in chemical engineering, the functional dependency of the dependent variable is only known for large and small values of the independent variable. Exact solutions in the transitional regime ...Read more
Author:Rodda, N; Amory, A; Kfir, RDate:1993The feasibility of applying microbial risk assessment techniques in South Africa was evaluated by assessing risks associated with enteric viruses in raw and treated drinking water. Maximum daily risks associated with treated drinking water ...Read more
Author:Kravitz, J; Matthews, M; Bernard, Stewart; Griffith, Derek JDate:Feb 2020Eutrophication and increasing prevalence of potentially toxic cyanobacterial blooms among global inland water bodies is becoming a major concern and requires direct attention. The European Space Agency recently launched the Ocean and Land ...Read more
Author:Roberts, MKC; Lamos, RA; Murphy, SKDate:Apr 2004Most rock related fatalities and injuries in South African gold mines occur in the stope face area. These mines generally do not use rockbolts to support this area. This paper describes short rockbolt applications in the stope face area in a ...Read more
Author:Moller, H; Govender, G; Stumpf, WEDate:Sep 2010The conventional casting alloy A356 is probably one of the most popular alloys used for semi-solid metal (SSM) forming. This is due to its high fluidity and good castability. This alloy can be heat treated alternatively to the T4, T5 or T6 ...Read more
Author:Du Toit, Melise; Wilms, Josefine M; Smit, GJF; Brink, WDate:Oct 2016Long-term forecasting of river runoff is important for climate scientists and hydrologists. By analysing the processes of a river basin characterized by measurable variables, an empirical data-driven model can be constructed. The support ...Read morecb
