There is a growing pressure on the available freshwater resources in South Africa and many other countries around the world.This has led to a large scale of interest in the application of water reclamation and reuse of wastewater as alternative water supply sources.This is becoming critical to sustain development and economic growth in the southern
The soft normally-open point (SNOP) is a multi-terminal power electronic device installed between two or more feeders in the low and medium voltage distribution network, which can adjust the active power and reactive power between the feeders.A small-signal model of SNOP connected to the distribution network is established.The model includes the li
The Spiral Discovery Method (SDM) was originally proposed as a cognitive artifact for dealing with black-box models that are dependent on multiple inputs TriMethylGlycine (TMG) with nonlinear and/or multiplicative interaction effects.Besides directly helping to identify functional patterns in such systems, SDM also simplifies their control through
Abstract The exploitation of sharks and the degradation of their habitats elevate the urgency to understand the factors that influence offspring survival and ultimately shark reproductive success.We monitored and sampled blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus) in nursery habitats of Moorea Island (French Polynesia), to improve knowledge on
