Author:Fatoki, OS; Opeolu, BO; Genthe, Bettina; Olatunji, OSDate:Dec 2018A multi-residue method for the determination of the occurrence and prevalence levels of selected veterinary pharmaceutical residues in surface water was developed on a high performance liquid chromatography coupled to ultraviolet-visible ...Read more
Author:Kleebauer, M; Marz, Christopher A; Reudenbach, C; Braun, MDate:Dec 2023In the realm of solar photovoltaic system image segmentation, existing deep learning networks focus almost exclusively on single image sources both in terms of sensors used and image resolution. This often prevents the wide deployment of such ...Read more
Author:Botai, OJ; Sivakumar, V; Combrinck, CL; Rautenbach, CJDDate:2009In this study, data from the Southern Hemisphere ADditional OZonesondes (SHADOZ) are used to compute the spatially averaged water vapour (WVg) over low and mid-tropical Africa. Based on the SHADOZ stations, reanalysis data from the National ...Read more
Author:Musehane, Ndivhuwo M; Oxtoby, Oliver F; Reddy, DBDate:Oct 2016In this work, droplet-droplet interaction is modelled using a multiphase flow computational fluid dynamics approach coupled with a reduced order surface thin-film model. An existing multiphase flow model based on a multiple marker volume of ...Read more
Author:Musehane, Ndivhuwo M; Oxtoby, Oliver F; Reddy, BDDate:Nov 2018In this work, droplet–droplet interaction is modelled using a multi-scale approach which couples multiphase flow simulation using a volume of fluid method to a surface thin film model operating on the sub-grid scale. The volume of fluid model ...Read more
