PANGU (PAir-productioN Gamma-ray Unit): a high resolution gamma-ray space telescope
(Sissa Medialab, 2015) -
Particle-in-cell simulations of shear boundary layers in relativistic jets
(Sissa Medialab, 2018)The supermassive black holes in the centres of active galaxies (AGN) eject powerful relativistic jets which propagate over kpc scales, showing no significant momentum loss. Both observational evidence as well as theoretical ... -
PBI-blended membrane evaluated in high temperature SO2 electrolyzer
(ECS, 2018)It has been shown that hydrogen can be produced efficiently within the membrane based Hybrid Sulfur (HyS) process, where SO2 is electrochemically oxidized in the presence of H2O to produce H2 and H2SO4. In earlier studies, ... -
PEM water electrolysis: preliminary investigations using neutron radiography
(Elsevier, 2017)The quasi-dynamic water distribution and performance of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer at both a small fuel cell's anode and cathode was observed and quantitatively measured in the in-plane imaging geometry ... -
The performance of feature-based classification of digital modulations under varying SNR and fading channel conditions
(IEEE, 2017)Feature-based classification is a method used for automatic modulation classification of communication signals. This method requires extraction of various features from a signal. One of the approaches for feature extraction ... -
Performance of various cyanide degrading bacteria on the biodegradation of free cyanide
(EARET, 2018)This study reports on the biodegradation of free cyanide (FCN) by cyanide degrading bacteria (CDB) that were isolated from mining wastewater and in thiocyanate containing wastewater. The performance of these isolates ... -
Performance visualisation of a transcritical CO2 heat pump under fault conditions
(NWU, 2018)Heat pump systems have gained acceptance and appeal as an energy efficient alternative to electrical geysers for the purpose of water heating. This paper investigates a next-generation transcritical heat pump system using ... -
Perinatal insults and neurodevelopmental disorders may impact age of diagnosis of Huntington’s disease
(Springer, 2018)Objectives: To determine whether early-life factors, like perinatal insults or neurodevelopmental disorders, are associated with the age of diagnosis of Huntington’s disease (HD). Methods: We used data from 13,863 ... -
Perishable produce temperature profiling using intelligent telematics
(SATNAC, 2014)Controlling, monitoring and maintaining the temperature of agricultural products in the cold chain is critical to avert the ills associated with this industry. The various segments of the cold chain not only require ... -
Perpendicular diffusion of solar energetic particles: when is the diffusion approximation valid?
(IOP Publishing, 2020)Multi-spacecraft observations of widespread solar energetic particle (SEP) events indicate that perpendicular (to the mean field) diffusion is an important SEP transport mechanism. However, this is in direct contrast to ... -
Pharmacoepidemiology capacity building in the Latin American and African regions
(Wiley, 2019)Background: An electronic screening survey of pharmacoepidemiology (PE) capacity building was developed for the Latin America (LatAm) and African regions. The objective of the screening survey was to identify a target ... -
Photocatalytic degradation of azo and rhodamine dyes using copper (ii) oxide nanoparticles
(EARET, 2018)Fresh water pollution by dyes from various industries is raising a lot of concern lately. Despite their well-known toxicity to humans, azo dyes make up over half of the used dye population. Rhodamines are also a well-used ... -
Photocatalytic degradation of naphthalene using tin dioxide nanomaterial under visible light
(EARET, 2018)Coal processing in the refinery industry often lead to the formation of coal tar containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which are likely to affect human and animal health when released in surface and ground waters. ... -
Physico-chemical activation of South African bentonite clay and impact on metal adsorption capacity
(PSRC, 2014)The aim of the project is to investigate the influence of physico-chemical activation on the metal adsorption capacities of natural bentonite clay from the North West Province of South Africa. The clay has been characterized ... -
A phytochemical analysis of some roman and greek narcotics
(Inter-Disciplinary.Net, 2014) -
Pilot of a pharmacoepidemiology capacity building electronic survey for the Latin American and African regions
(Wiley, 2018)Background: The ISPE Global Development Committee in collaboration with the Educational Committee and ISPE Board of Directors aims to build‐up pharmacoepidemiology (PE) research capacity in the Latin America (LatAm) and ... -
A pilot study: use of the adult adhd-self report scale in a south african patient population
(Springer, 2019)Introduction: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder which typically presents in childhood. This diagnosis may often be overlooked in adulthood, particularly in psychiatric ... -
Plant-wide simulation model for transient studies on the Xe-100
(ANS (American Nuclear Society), 2016)This paper gives an overview of the plant-wide simulation model that is used by X-energy LLC for developing their plant design and control philosophy, as well as assessing plant upset conditions. The simulation model was ... -
Pollution control of the Selati tailings storage facility by means of a decision support system: a case study
(CSEE, 2018)The Selati tailings storage facility (TSF) lies in the Limpopo Province in South Africa and originates from mining and the metallurgical processing of carbonatite and pyroxenite from the Phalaborwa Complex [1]. The Selati ... -
Potential in utilising furnace off-gas at a ferrochrome smelter with gas engines
(IEEE, 2015)In South Africa the current electrical energy crises and the possibility of carbon tax forces ferrochrome smelters to improve the efficiency of the plant and also reduce the carbon emissions at the same time. This can be ...
