        The flow of a variable viscosity fluid down an inclined plane with a free surface 

        Tshehla, M. S. (Hindawi, 2013)
        The effect of a temperature dependent variable viscosity fluid flow down an inclined plane with a free surface is investigated.The fluid film is thin, so that lubrication approximation may be applied. Convective heating ...

        The mapping and investigation of radionuclide pollution in the processing plant of a spent phosphate mine by using GIS techniques 

        Bezuidenhout, Jacques (CONSAS, 2018)
        The mining and refinement of phosphate is characterised by high levels of uranium. An in situ gamma ray survey was done at the processing plant of a spent phosphate mine near Vredenburg on the west coast of South Africa ...
