Grafting an ATM network onto an existing ethernet network
(Telkom, 1998)Grafting an ATM network onto an existing Ethernet network is a non-trivial exercise in network configuration. The process of mating ATM technology to an Ethernet network without tampering the underlying backbone and network ... -
Grain structure orientational change in Ti6Al4V alloys induced by sea water quenching and novel stress relief annealing process
(Materials Chemistry and Physics, 2023)We report on the microstructures and properties of Ti6Al4V alloys, which were achieved upon quenching in sea water medium with potential high cooling rate. The Ti6Al4V alloys were quenched at 1000 and 1100 ◦C, respectively. ... -
The grammar of domination and the subjection of agency: colonial texts and modes of evidence
(Blackwell Publishing, 2000-12)This article focuses on colonial accounts of the killing of the Xhosa chief, Hintsa, in 1835 at the hands of British forces along what came to be known as the Eastern Cape frontier. It explores the evidentiary procedures ... -
Granny gets smarter but junior hardly notices
(College of Communication and Information, 2016)To ensure that university computing students are sensitized to the needs of diverse user groups, a course project was designed to allow students to get a realistic understanding of the needs and abilities of the older ... -
Graphite-anchored lithium vanadium oxide as anode of lithium ion battery
(Elsevier, 2013)Graphite-anchored lithium vanadium oxide (Li1.1V0.9O2) has been synthesized via a “one-pot” in situ method. The effects of the synthesis conditions, such as the ratio of reaction components and calcination temperature, ... -
Graphs, designs and codes related to the n-cube
(Elsivier, 2009)For integers n 1; k 0, and k n, the graph k n has vertices the 2n vectors of Fn 2 and adjacency defined by two vectors being adjacent if they differ in k coordinate positions. In particular 1 n is the ... -
Grappling with the scourge of money laundering during the Covid-19 pandemic in South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)The deadly COVID-19 pandemic has unfortunately presented new opportunities for perpetrators to exploit. As such, hefty amounts of economic crimes such as money laundering and money laundering threats were committed from ... -
Gravitational signal propagation in the double pulsar studied with the MeerKAT telescope
(Hans Publishers, 2022)The double pulsar PSR J0737−3039A/B has offered a wealth of gravitational experiments in the strong-field regime, all of which general relativity has passed with flying colours. In particular, among current gravity ... -
Gravitational wave mergers as tracers of large scale structures
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2021)Clustering measurements of Gravitational Wave (GW) mergers in Luminosity Distance Space can be used in the future as a powerful tool for Cosmology. We consider tomographic measurements of the Angular Power Spectrum of ... -
The graying of rural America: Community engagement and health promotion challenges
(SAGE, 2018)Background. Although social participation has been linked to positive physical and mental health outcomes, elderly people in rural areas remain highly disengaged. Also, few studies have examined community residents’ ... -
Green and sustainable use of macadamia nuts as support material in Pt-based direct methanol fuel cells
