Towards understanding the impact of assimilating along-track SLA data on simulated eddy characteristics in the Agulhas System

Author: De Vos, M ; Backeberg, Björn ; Counillon, F Date: Oct 2016 The impact of assimilating along-track sea level anomaly (SLA) data into a regional Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) is investigated with regard to the simulation of mesoscale eddy characteristics in the Agulhas System. Eddy characteristics ... Read more
Towards understanding the influence of SVM hyperparameters

Author: Van Heerden, CJ ; Barnard, E Date: Nov 2010 In this article, the authors investigate the relationship between SVM hyperparameters for linear and RBF kernels and classification accuracy. The process of finding SVM hyperparameters usually involves a gridsearch, which is both time-consuming ... Read more
Towards Understanding Tyre-Pavement Contact in APT Research on Flexible Pavements

Author: De Beer, Morris ; Fisher, Colin Date: Sep 2016 An important element of Accelerated Pavement Testing (APT) is the selection of appropriate test tyre(s) to be used for APT testing. By far the majority of full scale (or scaled) APT devices uses pneumatic rubber tyres. Tyres differ not only ... Read more
Towards unification of product and enterprise system descriptions

Author: Erasmus, J ; Erasmus, Louwrence D ; Pretorius, J-HC Date: Jun 2015 An argument is presented for the unification of descriptions of product systems and enterprise systems. Product systems are developed and produced by enterprises, thus forming an integral part of the enterprise's architecture. However, many ... Read more
Towards unsupervised ontology learning from data

Author: Klarman, S ; Britz, K Date: Jul 2015 Data-driven elicitation of ontologies from structured data is a well-recognized knowledge acquisition bottleneck. The development of efficient techniques for (semi-)automating this task is therefore practically vital — yet, hindered by the ... Read more
Towards using tire-road contact stresses in pavement design and analysis

Author: De Beer, Morris ; Maina, JW ; Van Rensburg, Yvette ; Greben, JM Date: Sep 2011 Optimization of road pavement design, especially towards the surface of the pavement, requires a more rational approach to modeling of truck tire-road contact stresses. Various road surfacing failures are given in this paper as examples, and ... Read more
TownshipNet: A localized hybrid TVWS-WiFi and cloud services network

Author: Hadzic, S ; Phokeer, A ; Johnson, D Date: Oct 2016 This paper describes a network architecture to provide low cost last mile access and cloud services for local content sharing in a poorly resourced township environment. We describe how ICT solutions are developed in close partnership with ... Read more
Toxicity assessment of reference and natural freshwater sediments with the luminotox assay

Author: Dellamatrice, PM ; Monteiro, RTR ; Blaise, C ; Slabbert, JL ; Gagne, JL ; Alleau, S Date: Aug 2006 We (the authors) examined the possibility of adapting the LuminoTox, a recently-commercialised bioanalytical testing procedure initially developed for aqueous samples, to assess the toxic potential of sediments. A significant correlation was ... Read more
Toxicity effects of Fe2O3, TiO2, ZnO, and Ag engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) on the macrophyte Spirodela species

Author: Thwala, Melusi ; Musee, N ; Wepener, V ; Oberholster, Paul J Date: 01 Sep 2010 This study is according to current literature the first to investigate the toxicity effects of ENMs on higher aquatic plants. Such information is vital for aquatic ecosystem protection information from the relatively less understood ENMs. The ... Read more
The toxicity of oxidised DWCNTs to the aquatic organisms, and related causing mechanisms

Author: Lukhele, LP ; Musee, N ; Wepener, V ; Mamba, BB Date: Aug 2013 Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) find wide applications as their science and applicability are well understood. According to Lux Research Inc., the market for CNTs increased from $43 million in 2005 to $260 million by 2010. Whilst successful applications ... Read more
Trace gas variations at Cape Point, South Africa, during May 1997 following a regional biomass burning episode

Author: Brunke, EG ; Labuschagne, C ; Scheel, HE Date: 2001 During the continuous monitoring of atmospheric parameters at the station Cape Point (34 degrees S, 18 degrees E), a smoke plume originating from a controlled fire of 30 year old fynbos was observed on 6 May 1997. For this episode, which was ... Read more
Trace metal enrichment observed in soils around a coal fired power plant in South Africa

Author: Dalton, A ; Feig, Gregor T ; Barber, K Date: Dec 2018 A site assessment was conducted at a coal fired power plant in South Africa to determine whether surrounding soils were being enriched with trace metals resulting from activities at the power plant. It was found that deposition of fly ash ... Read more
Track-stitching using graphical models and message passing

Author: Van der Merwe, LJ ; De Villiers, JP Date: Jul 2013 In order to stitch tracks together, two tasks are required, namely tracking and track stitching. In this study track stitching is performed using a graphical model and message passing (belief propagation) approach. Tracks are modelled as nodes ... Read more
Tracking air-related health should be an integrated part of air quality management in South Africa

Author: Wright, CY ; Oosthuizen, MA Date: 01 Sep 2010 Health surveillance is presently not an integrated part of air quality management in South Africa, although ambient air pollution standards are derived from epidemiological studies of personal exposure. A growing number of studies have shown ... Read more
Tracking botnets on Nation Research and Education Network

Author: Burke, Ivan D ; Herbert, A Date: Jun 2020 The South African National Research and Education Network (SANREN) proves network connectivity and services to all tertiary education networks and research councils within South Africa. The NREN forms part of South Africa’s national integrated ... Read more
Tracking cellular telephones as an input for developing transport models

Author: Cooper, Antony K ; Schmitz, P ; Krygsman, SC Date: Aug 2010 During 2005, the CSIR ran a small experiment in the Pretoria area to test the feasibility of tracking passively cellular telephones, and hence people. Based on the success of that pilot, we initiated a large project to assess various aspects ... Read more
Tracking image features with PCA-SURF descriptors

Author: Pancham, A ; Withey, Daniel J ; Bright, G Date: May 2015 The tracking of moving points in image sequences requires unique features that can be easily distinguished.
