The worldwide use of information and communications technology (ICT) equipment and other electronic equipment is growing. There is growing amount of equipment that becomes waste after its time in use. This growth is expected ...

Global warming and climate change has been a challenge in the last decades. Buildings are major contributors to energy consumption. This is due to the rise in human comfort needs and services. The residential sector consumes ...

This paper contains a critical review of the norms employed in the design of soil and water conservation structures in the South African sugar industry and highlights research needs in order to update them. Sugarcane in ...

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are the gold standard in the machine learning (ML) community. As a result, most of the recent studies have relied on CNNs, which have achieved higher accuracies compared with traditional ...

Sugarcane in South Africa is grown on wide-ranging soils, sometimes in non-ideal climates and on steep topographies where soils are vulnerable to erosion. A consequence of unsustainable soil loss is reduction in field ...

Dried cassava chips have varied applications by end users that include breweries, confectionaries, starch and flour for food. In Uganda, over 80% of Cassava farmers dry their products by open sun drying and direct passive ...

This paper discusses results of a study of simulation modelling of orthogonal metal machining with finite element method using AdvantEdgeTM modelling software. The AdvantEdgeTM is a validated CAE software solution for the ...

The world is attesting a tremendous change today, which is remarkably coined as industry 4.0. With several technologies shaping industry 4.0 epoch, notably, its cybersecurity entails the security of communication and network ...

Dunes on non-paved roads develop as a result of general construction designs especially in the drainage. They are active features which block up drainage rills and parts of the roads causing road rutting, deep mudding and ...

Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS- SEM) technique was employed to evaluate the mediating effects of effective decision making on water resource management policies and water resource management ...
