Simplified approaches for portfolio decision analysis by Kantu, Dieudonne Kabongo

“…Secondly, we use a simulation experiment to test the performance of the heuristics in two novel environments: those involving multiple criteria, and those in which interactions between projects may be positive (the value of selecting two alternatives is more than the sum of their individual values) or negative (the opposite). …”

Investigating the relationships between land use characteristics, public transport network features and financial viability at a corridor scale by Cooke, Sean

“…The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between land use characteristics, network features and viable public transport services in the South African context and at a corridor scale. The study utilises a public transport corridor operating cost model that was created to simulate the effects of variation in four land use characteristics (population density, density distribution, land use mix and destination accessibility) and two public transport network features (mode technology and service configuration) on the financial viability of services. …”

Boiler system modelling using Flownex® by Rossouw, André

“…Flownex has been identified as the key software to accomplish the global objective of the Centre for Energy Efficiency under EPPEI at the University of Cape Town, which is to develop a software model of a complete coal-fired power station which includes all the main systems required for independent transient simulation. The boiler model captures the true geometric layout and flow orientation with associated characteristics of a wide variety of boiler designs utilised by Eskom. …”
