Warm-start heuristics for solving the passive optical network planning problem
(Univ Stellenbosch, 2018)The use of automated network planning systems is crucial for reducing the deployment cost and planning time of passive optical telecommunication networks. Mixed integer linear programming is well suited for the purpose of ... -
Waste butter and margarine as feedstock for biodiesel production
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2012)The resulting bio-waste from butter and margarine factories should be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. Currently the bio-waste is either flushed into the municipal sewerage system or moved to landfill ... -
What can we learn from phase alignment of γ-ray and radio pulsar light curves?
(SAIP, 2011)The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has revolutionized high-energy (HE) astronomy, and is making enormous contributions particularly to γ-ray pulsar science. As a result of the many new pulsar discoveries, the γ-ray pulsar ... -
WhatsApp with BlackBerry; can messengers be MXit? A philosophical approach to evaluate social networking sites
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2012)In an Information Technology course, learners are confronted with learning about technology; programming, other technical subjects and some mathematics and statistics. Although learners can struggle with the logical thinking ... -
Where is the power of the IEEE 1459-2010?
(IEEE, 2014)The integration of the IEEE 1459-2010 power definitions with the IEC 61000-4-30 PQ standard is investigated. A Class A PQ instrument, which record network coherent data with an absolute time uncertainty of less than 100 ... -
Where to do business in South Africa
(IBC, 2022)Doing business in South Africa is challenging in many ways and recently the deterioration of infrastructure and services provision at the local level have come to influence business location decisions. This paper ... -
White space and digital dividends: the case for dynamic spectrum access in South Africa
(IEEE, 2011)In this paper we present the current state of affairs surrounding the analog switch-off and corresponding digital dividend as pertaining to South Africa. Analog switch-off and digital dividends has enjoyed much attention ... -
Why the universe is unexpectedly transparent to very high energy gamma rays
(Sissa Medialab, 2017)Recent observations of distant gamma ray sources indicate that the universe may be more transparent to VHE-gamma-rays than expected. In this paper we study the reduction of the EBL gamma-gamma opacity due to the existence ... -
Why use communication training as enterprise-wide project risk mitigation tool?
(IEEE, 2013)Complex enterprise-wide projects often fail even when formal project management methods are followed. Project management processes and methodologies are well defined and described in academic and business literature. There ... -
Why using a design and creation strategy to translate a paper-based form into an e-registration web form using HCI Principles Falls within the context of design science
(IBIMA, 2013)This paper is derived from a completed Master’s study where the objective of the research was to design an electronic registration (e-registration) web form prototype (translated from its paper-based registration form) by ... -
Widening students’ perspective: empowering them with systems methodologies
(WASET, 2013)Benefits to the organisation are just as important as technical ability when it comes to software success. The challenge is to provide industry with professionals who understand this. In other words: How to teach computer ...
