(Peninsula Technikon, 2003)This dissertation sets out to develop a Performance Management System for the Greater Stellenbosch Municipality. It is proposed for use as a unit of analysis. The system provides a framework for determining developmental ... -
A quantitative study into carbon-in-pulp adsorption operations
(Cape Technikon, 1999)Carbon-in-pulp (CIP) and carbon-in-leach (CIL) remain the most effective, and widely used processes for gold recovery from cyanided pulps. The extensive use of carbon in such processes have prompted many researchers to ... -
A remote radio transmission system to record the physiological phenomena of an equine athlete
(Cape Technikon, 1991)The call for the system design in this book came from a field that grew to be a part of millions of lives in this country. It is a sport which has developed to have a major infrastructure, with large sums of money ... -
A review of health and hygiene promotion as part of sanitation delivery programmes to informal settlements in the City of Cape Town
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2007)Good sanitation includes appropriate health and hygiene promotion. This implies that proper health and hygiene promotion would have the desired effect as part of sanitation service delivery. However, lessons learnt worldwide ... -
A socio-technical inquiry into semiotics and ethnology in South Africa, with special reference to electricity
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2010)Demand Side Management (DSM) within a South African context requires a transdisciplinary approach to comprehend electricity consumption. Current research suggests a technical determinism, whereby design teams fail to ... -
