Low-Complexity Algorithms for Channel Estimation in Optimised Pilot-Assisted Wireless OFDM Systems by Golovins, Eugene

“…The resultant contribution is manifested by the closed-form analytical expressions of the upper bound (suboptimal approximate value) on the optimal pilot-to-data power ratio (PDR) as a function of a number of design parameters (number of subcarriers, number of pilots, number of transmit antennas, effective order of the channel model, maximum Doppler shift, SNR, etc.). …”

Identification of new therapeutic compounds against carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae using a novel agar-based high-throughput microarray compound screening approach by Mahlangu, Zandile

“…The optimized parameters for effectively running the high-throughput antibacterial screen were set at 1.5% (w/v) CNF immobilization matrix into which spots were printed, 1.6% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose printing solution – serving as a binding agent for compounds, inoculum density ranging between ~1 x 105 and 2 x 105 CFU/mL, 0.8% (w/v) seeding agar which formed a ~0.4 mm layer into which printed compounds diffused into and affected bacteria, and 1.5% (w/v) plain agar which formed a ~1.6 mm layer overlaying the thin seeded agar layer. …”

Unsupervised Machine Learning Application for the Identification of Kimberlite Ore Facie using Convolutional Neural Networks and Deep Embedded Clustering by Langton, Sean

“…The aim of this research is to demonstrate the viability of implementing a computer vision solution to provide online information of the composition of material entering the plant, thus allowing the plant operators to adjust equipment settings and process parameters accordingly. Data is collected in the form of high resolution images captured every couple of seconds of material on the main feed conveyor belt into the Kao Diamond Mine processing plant. …”
