  • A survey on management of upstream land use and its impact on downstream water quality parameters 
    Patella, Wada; Jamisola, Rodrigo S.; Letshwenyo, Moatlhodi Wise; Nagayo, Analene Montesines (Journal of Computational Innovations and Engineering Applications, 2017)
    This paper introduces the various upstream land use activities that are major contributors of downstream water pollution. The proposed measures to reduce the pollution of downstream water bodies such as sustainable agricultural ...
  • Use of remote sensing and long-term in-situ time-series data in an integrated hydrological model of the Central Kalahari Basin, Southern Africa 
    Lekula, Moiteela; Lubczynski, Maciek , W (Springer Professional, 2019-03-27)
    Distributed numerical models, considered as optimal tools for groundwater resources management, have always been constrained by availability of spatio-temporal input data. This problem is particularly distinct in arid and ...
  • Bio ethanol from sewage sludge: a bio fuel alternative 
    Manyuchi, Musaida Mercy; Chiutsi, Patience; Mbohwa, Charles; Muzenda, Edison; Mutusva, Trevor (Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2018-04-17)
    In this study, the potential to fully exploit sewage sludge as a raw material for bio ethanol a source of bio fuel is investigated. Sewage sludge hydrolysate was first made by introducing Bacillus flexus in order ...
  • Design and simulation of an automatic room heater control system 
    Zungeru, Adamu Murtala; Mangwala, Mmoloki; Chuma, Joseph; Gaebolae, Baboloki; Basutli, Bokamoso (Elsevier, 2018-06-11)
    This paper presents the design and simulation of an Automatic Room Heater Control system. This system allows the user to set a desired temperature which is then compared to the room temperature measured by a temperature ...
  • Control unit for a coreless stator for use with SI engine stepping valve 
    Zibani, Ishmael; Marumo, Rapelang; Chuma, Joseph; Ngebani, Ibo; Tsamaase, Kelebaone (Elsevier, 2018-01)
    Engine efficiency could be increased if valve timing could change with engine revolutions per minute. Poppet valves are fitted with strong springs which return them to their rest positions after being pushed down by cam ...
  • A secured data management scheme for smart societies in industrial internet of things environment 
    Babar, Muhammad; Khan, Fazlullah; Iqbal, Waseem; Yahya, Abid; Arif, Fahim; Tan, Zhiyuan; Chuma, Joseph (IEEE Explore, 2018-07)
    Smart societies have an increasing demand for quality-oriented services and infrastructure in an industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) paradigm. Smart urbanization faces numerous challenges. Among them, secured energy ...
  • A secured smart home switching system based on wireless communications and self-energy harvesting 
    Zungeru, Adamu Murtala; Gaboitaolelwe, Jwaone; Diarra, Bakary; Chuma, Joseph; Ang, Li-Minn; Kolobe, Lone; David, Mpho; Zibani, Ishmael (IEEE Xplore, 2019-02-19)
    Due to human influence and its negative impacts on the world’s environment, the world ischanging into a cleaner and more sustainable energy system. In both private and public buildings, there isa desire to reduce electricity ...
  • A voltage multiplier using timer circuit 
    Zungeru, Adamu Murtala; Chuma, Joseph; Mangwala, Mmoloki; Khao, Baba (Medwell Journals, 2018-01)
    This study describes a DC to DC voltage multiplier using the 555 Integrated Circuit (IC) timer in an astable state. The major motivation of the design is to be able to produce an inexpensive and light form of generating ...
  • Acculturative stress and disengagement: learning from the adjustment challenges faced by East Asian International Graduate Students 
    Lyken-Segosebe, D. E (Sciedu Press, 2017-12)
    International graduate students meet TOEFL, GPA, and other admissions criteria to gain entry into US colleges and universities. During their stay in the USA, they provide educational and economic contributions for their ...
  • Lead pollution of shooting range soils 
    Sehube, Nicholas; Kelebemang, Rosemary; Totolo, Otlogetswe; Laetsang, Masego; Kamwi, Obed; Dinake, Pogisego (South African Chemical Institute (SACI), 2017)
    A total of eight military shooting ranges were used for this study. Soil samples were collected at each of the eight shooting ranges at the berm, target line, 50 and 100 m from berm. In all of the shooting ranges investigated ...
