Condition Monitoring of VSD-fed Induction Motors by Ralikalakala, Lebohang

“…A similar trend is observed in speed and torque pulsations of the motor under the respective faults. Similarly, the method of diagnostic variables has proven valid for both simulation and experimental results and is able to detect and localise inverter open switch fault for single and double switch fault. …”

Preformulation solid-state supramolecular beneficiation of selected active pharmaceutical ingredients and a novel drug candidate by Noonan, Terence James

“…The compounds selected were: Clevudine, an established drug that is currently in use for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B infections, 6-(3- (Methylsulfonyl)phenyl)-3-(4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl)-imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine (MMV652103), a novel antimalarial drug candidate that displayed good in vitro potency against multidrug resistant and sensitive plasmodial strains and ()-α-lipoamide, a bioactive antioxidant that is currently in use for the clinical treatment of diabetic neuropathy and has other potential uses e.g. as an antiretroviral agent. The methods utilised in pursuit of novel solid-state forms of the compounds included a combination of crystal engineering and experimental screening for polymorphs, solvates/hydrates, cyclodextrin (CD) inclusion complexes, pharmaceutical salts and co-crystals. …”

Exploring the impact of novelty and objective-directed evolution in company with MAP-Elites and HyperNEAT by Breytenbach, Jeremy

“…MAP-Elites is referred to as an illumination algorithm because by retaining these elite agents in the population, we expect to increase the chances of exploring and thus illuminating novel, yet potentially high-performing regions of the search space. To evaluate these methods, we use Keep-away, a simulated collective robotics task within the RoboCup football framework as a case study. …”
