  • 3D-feature recogntion from measured data 
    Janssens, M.   Van Wijck, W.   Du Preez, N. D. (Department of Industrial Engineering, Stellenbosch University, 1999)
    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This paper presents a method to automatically extract analytical entities like planes, spheres and cylinders from a file containing a cloud of points. The method facilitates the manipulation and reduction ...
  • An algorithm for fast optimal Latin hypercube design of experiments 
    Viana, Felipe A. C.   Venter, Gerhard   Balabanov, Vladimir (Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)
    This paper presents the translational propagation algorithm, a new method for obtaining optimal or near optimal Latin hypercube designs (LHDs) without using formal optimization. The procedure requires minimal computational ...
  • CFD modelling of global mixing parameters in a Peirce-Smith converter with comparison to physical modelling 
    Chibwe, Deside K.   Akdogan, Guven   Aldrich, Chris   Eric, Rauf H. (Berkeley Electronic Press, 2011)
    The flow pattern and mixing in an industrial Peirce-Smith converter (PSC) has been experimentally and numerically studied using cold model simulations. The effects of air volumetric flow rate and presence of overlaying ...
  • A chronological review of South African guidelines for residential average annual water demand with property size as independent variable 
    Jacobs, Heinz E. (AOSIS OpenJournals, 2008-12)
    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Guidelines for residential average annual water demand (AADD) based on property size were introduced to the South African Civil Engineering fraternity in about 1960, with the most recent publication of ...
  • ’n Chronologiese oorsig van Suid-Afrikaanse riglyne vir residensiële gemiddelde jaarlikse waterverbruik met erfgrootte as onafhanklike veranderlike 
    Jacobs, Heinz E. (AOSIS OpenJournal, 2008)
    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Guidelines for residential average annual water demand (AADD) based on property size were introduced to the South African Civil Engineering fraternity in about 1960, with the most recent publication of ...
  • Constrained particle swarm optimization using a bi-objective formulation 
    Venter, Gerhard   Haftka, R. T. (Springer Verlag, 2010)
    This paper introduces an approach for dealing with constraints when using particle swarm optimization. The constrained, single objective optimization problem is converted into an unconstrained, bi-objective optimization ...
  • The contribution of energy efficiency towards the success of industrial organisations in South Africa 
    Gouws, P. A.   Brent, A. C.   Pierce, W. T. (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, Department of Industrial Engineering, 2012-05)
    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Internationally, governments and lobby groups increasingly put pressure on organisations to reduce their impact on the environment. To this end, various studies show the drivers, barriers, and contributions ...
  • Development of a maturity model for telemedicine 
    Van Dyk, Liezl   Schutte, Corne S. L. (Southern African Journal for Industrial Engineering, 2012-07)
    For more than a decade, the South African National Department of Health (DoH) has recognised the potential benefit of information and communication technology (ICT) in the delivery of health care to rural areas. Despite ...
  • A knowledge management framework to grow innovation capability maturity 
    Esterhuizen, Denele   Schutte, Corne   Du Toit, Adeline (AOSIS OpenJournal, 2012-02)
    Innovation is a key prerequisite for being organisationally competitive. Therefore, it is imperative that enterprises grow and mature their innovation capability. Knowledge management plays a fundamental role in the ability ...
  • Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications in vehicular networks 
    Booysen, Marthinus J.   Gilmore, J. S.   Zeadally, Sherali   Van Rooyen, Gert-Jan (Korea Society of Internet Information (KSII), 2012-02)
    To address the need for autonomous control of remote and distributed mobile systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications are rapidly gaining attention from both academia and industry. M2M communications have recently ...
  • A performance comparison of media access control protocols for vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) 
    Booysen, Marthinus J.   Zeadally, Sherali   Van Rooyen, Gert-Jan (The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2012-04)
    The emergence of computationally rich vehicles and recent advances in wireless communication technologies are fueling vehicular network research in industry and academia. A key challenge to the successful deployment of ...
  • Residential water information management 
    Jacobs, H. E. (AOSIS OpenJournals, 2008-12)
    The hitherto undefined term 'water information management' (WIM) as it relates to residential water use is defined in this article as follows: 'To better manage the information pertaining to how and when water is used at ...
  • Role of cultivation media in the development of yeast strains for large scale industrial use
