A target Approximation Intonation Model for Yorùbá TTS
(ISCA, 2014)A complete intonation model based on quantitative target approximation is described for Yorùbá text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis. This model is evaluated analytically and perceptually and compared to a fundamental frequency ... -
Target of opportunity observations of blazars with H.E.S.S.
(PoS, 2017)The very-high-energy (VHE, E>100 GeV) extragalactic sky is dominated by blazars, a class of active galactic nuclei which show rapid variability at all wavelengths. Target of Opportunity (ToO) observations triggered by ... -
Target of opportunity observations of blazars with H.E.S.S.
(AIP, 2017)The very high energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) sky is dominated by blazars, radio-loud active galactic nuclei whose relativistic jet is closely aligned with the line of sight. Blazars are characterized by rapid variability at all ... -
Ten years of positron and electron solar modulation measured by the PAMELA experiment
(PoS, 2017)The satellite-borne PAMELA experiment was launched on the 15th June 2006 from the Baikonur cosmodrome. Till January 2016 PAMELA has detected the charged component of cosmic-rays (CRs) over a wide energy range. Due to its ... -
Tensile properties and microstructural characterization of additive manufactured, investment cast and wrought Ti6Al4V alloy
(IOP, 2019)This paper presents an evaluation of the tensile properties and microstructural characterization of Ti6Al4V alloy manufactured with three different processing routes; traditional wrought processing, investment cast and ... -
Test problems for the verification and validation of the radiation, conduction and convection capabilities of system codes
(ICHMT, 2017)The purpose of the reactor cavity cooling system in a nuclear plant is to remove the heat released by the reactor pressure vessel effectively. The reactor cavity cooling system must be able to operate naturally or passively ... -
Testing of a predictive pole-slip protection algorithm on a real time digital simulator
(IEEE, 2016)Predictive pole-slip protection is not implemented in commercially available protection relays. All pole-slip protection relays on the market will only trip a generator after it has pole-slipped one or more times. A ... -
Testing of briquettes made from Witbank coal fines with polyvinyl alcohol as binder
(EARET, 2018)Approximately 12% of South Africa’s mined coal can be classified as fine coal. Fine coal is primarily formed through mechanical mining methods and can cause blockage in equipment, transportation mechanisms and silos. ... -
The industrial engineering identity: from historic skills to modern values, duties, and role
(Stellenbosch Univ, 2016)Over the past 100 years, engineering has sub-divided into tens of disciplines in an attempt to deal with the different problems arising from the wide spectrum of human endeavours. One particular field, however, arose from ... -
Theoretical and practical aspects of Cr(VI) in the South African ferrochrome industry
(SAIMM, 2010)The production of ferrochrome alloy from chromium bearing chromite ores is conducted at high temperature under highly reducing conditions. However, albeit completely unintended, it is impossible to completely exclude ... -
Theorising on information cascades and sequential decision-making for analysing security behaviour
(ICISSP, 2019)Human behaviour is an ever-present aspect in information security and requires special attention when seeking to secure information systems. Information security behaviour is often based on an informed decision where ... -
Therapeutic use and pharmacological safety of herbal medicines
(Elsevier, 2019)In general, N80% of the world's population relies on traditional medicine for their primary healthcare [1]. The use of complementary herbal medicine provides an alternative option to modern allopathic treatment for ... -
Thermal modelling of a high speed permanent magnet synchronous machine
(IEEE, 2013)The thermal behaviour of permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) is important since overheating of the permanent magnets can lead to demagnetization. This article gives an overview of a hybrid thermal model for a ... -
Thermochemical liquefaction of water hyacinth
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2013)The use of non-edible biomass should be investigated as alternatives for biofuel production. Aquatic weeds like water hyacinth (WH) are classified as third generation crops. WH in South Africa is an invasive species that ... -
Three-dimensional shape descriptors and matching procedures
(WSCG, 2011)Shape descriptors are used to identify objects in the same way that human fingerprints are used to identify people. Features of an object are extracted by applying functions to the digital representation of the object. These ... -
ThunderKAT: the MeerKAT large survey project for image-plane radio transients
(Sissa Medialab, 2016)ThunderKAT is the image-plane transients programme for MeerKAT. The goal as outlined in 2010, and still today, is to find, identify and understand high-energy astrophysical processes via their radio emission (often in ... -
Time dependence of the proton and helium fluxes measured by PAMELA during solar minimum (2006 - 2009)
(Sissa Medialab, 2019)Precision measurements of the Z = 2 component in the cosmic radiation provide crucial information about both the origin and propagation of the helium nuclei in cosmic rays inside the Galaxy. Moreover, the precise measurement ... -
The time dependent solvent extraction of Ta and Nb
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)The suitability of Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) for the selective extraction of chemically similar tantalum (Ta) and niobium (Nb) mixtures was investigated by determining the influence of the acid concentration, extractant ... -
Time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy: a study of the distribution of hazardous elements in coal ashes
(International Pittsburgh Coal Conference, 2017) -
Time-dependent, multi-wavelength shock acceleration models for active flares of 3C 279
(Sissa Medialab, 2019)Jets in blazars are an excellent forum for studying acceleration at relativistic shocks using the highly-variable emission seen across the electromagnetic spectrum. Our recent work on combining multi-wavelength leptonic ...
