Uncoded space-time labeling diversity with three transmit antennas: symbol mapping designs and error performance analysis.
(2020)Abstract available in the PDF. -
Fluidization and sedimentation behaviors of nanoparticles.
(2020)A nanoparticle or ultrafine particle is usually defined as a particle of matter that is between 1 to 100 nanometers in diameter. Nanoparticles were used by artisans since prehistoric times, albeit without knowledge of their ... -
The development of the Water-Energy-Food Nexus Index and its application to the Southern African Development Community.
(2020)This thesis commences with a review of the development and relevance of the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus as a framework for achieving resource security. Based on academic and grey literature it includes an assessment of ... -
