Geo-tiles: manufacturing tiles from copper mine tailings using geopolymerisation by Makole, Karabo

“…Geopolymerisation presents a promising path to redress the ecological limitations of tile manufacturing as it both operates at low temperature (<210°C) and can utilise a feedstock comprising waste. The geopolymerisation reaction generally entails a fine-grained substance comprising reactive aluminosilicates being mixed with a high pH solution (the alkali activator). …”

Optical and Thermal Analysis of a Heteroconical Tubular Cavity Solar Receiver by Maharaj, Neelesh

“…The optical model of the receiver which modelled the optical performance and produced the nonuniform actual heat flux distribution on the absorbers of the receiver was numerically modelled by solving the rendering Equation using the Monte-Carlo ray tracing method. SolTrace - a raytracing software package developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), commonly used to analyse CSP systems, was utilised for modelling the optical response and performance of the Heteroconical receiver. …”

Analysis of the effect of course structure and pattern of usage on the efficacy of online/blended courses by Oosthuizen, Andries Cornelius

“…The analysis was structured to use four popular unsupervised learning algorithms (K-means, PAM, AGNES, and DIANA) on data sets that included the enrolled users and the tools accessible to students. The clValid package method was used to choose the optimal algorithm and cluster sizes. …”

The role of corporate social responsibility perceptions and perceived employer brand on organisational attractiveness by Ramdenee, Narisha

“…To address the objectives stated above, a two method approach was utilised. Firstly, a 22 or 2 (CSR present or not present) x 2 (employer branding present or not present) full-factorial experiment was utilised to investigate the causal relationships with organisational attractiveness (the dependant variable). …”
