Project Report from the year 2017 in the subject Engineering - General, , language: English, abstract: There exist some fields in which the learning curves can be applied; they have a much wider applications including manufacturing and marketing strategy. However, they underlay the concept of continuous improvement, pricing decisions, work scheduling, standard setting, direct labour budget etc. Learning curve states that decreasing man hours are required to accomplish any repetitive task as the operation is continued; then knowledge of learning curve can be useful both in planning and control. Estimates of learning curves are used in many applications in organizations and they can be effecti...
Case Study from the year 2017 in the subject Engineering - Power Engineering, University of the Witwatersrand, language: English, abstract: First off, this project gives insight into how to define various systems management (project management and systems engineering) terms and to answer to the frequently asked questions in systems management. Specifically, to think like a systems engineer by changing the way of approaching and specifying a solution or addressing problems. Then the overall purpose is to use and apply Systems Engineering approaches to solve the high levels of unstructured problem situation and try to structure a debate concerning actions for improving the problem "energy program" situation within the System (University of Witwatersrand-Johannesburg).

Thèse de Bachelor de l’année 2014 dans le domaine Informatique - Sécurité des Données, , langue: français, résumé: Il esiste plusieurs protocoles sécuritaires (SSL/TSL, SRP, IPSEC.etc.) intéragissant sous differentes plateformes réseautiques. Ces protocoles sont quelque fois robustes, fiables, surs, avantageux, bornés, etc. Bien que leurs aspects intrinsèques soient quelque peu fragiles, ils demeurent donc d’une importance totalement supérieure en terme de fonction communicationnelle entre plusieurs systèmes. Ainsi, partant d’un aspect global, plusieurs entités exigent et veulent que la confidentialitè de leurs données et informations deviennent plus costauds. Les che...
Document from the year 2018 in the subject Health - Public Health, University of the Witwatersrand, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate how operations strategy and lean concepts can be applied within the south Africa’s healthcare organisations and the degree to which both Lean and operations strategy are understood by senior-level National Health Service (NHS) personnel, based on the process of ongoing longitudinal cases studies. Further interviews and data analysis will examine actual performance of Lean capabilities within the NHS.
Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Engineering - Mechanical Engineering, University of the Witwatersrand, language: English, abstract: A combined 3D linear and circular interpolation principle is developed on the basis of the 3D linear and circular interpolation principles. The task was to choose and design a creative item to be machined using CNC machining, which then required to write a code using CNC language. Prior to the machining process, we did a Computer Aided Design (CAD) drawing of the workpiece. The drawing was further modified with the final model drawn using Auto Desk Inventor. We used foam for our model and a 31 diameter end mill tool. The main problem that was experienced was the cutting time; the model took longer to be complete. The cutting time was affected by the complexity of the design, chosen tool size and the cutting technique. Besides, we learnt from the demonstration that the shorter the constructed code the more robust it is, using a bigger tool is more efficient in terms of saving energy and time, and that if the code is correct the CNC machine model becomes identical to that of the product Design.
Project Report from the year 2017 in the subject Computer Science - Programming, , language: English, abstract: This report covers the work that was carried out by a group of researchers on CNC (Computer Numerical Control) programming and machining. The task was to choose and design a creative item to be machined using CNC machining, which then required to write a code using CNC language. Prior to the machining process, we did a Computer Aided Design (CAD) drawing of the Mercedes Benz logo. The logo was further modified with the final model drawn using Auto Desk Inventor. We used foam for our model and a 10 diameter end mill tool. The main problem that was experienced was the cutting time; the model took longer to be complete. The cutting time was affected by the complexity of the design, chosen tool size and the cutting technique. We learnt from the demonstration that the shorter the constructed code the more robust it is, using a bigger tool is more efficient in terms of saving energy and time, and that if the code is correct the CNC machine model becomes identical to that of the product Design.
Project Report from the year 2017 in the subject Engineering - Industrial Engineering and Management, , language: English, abstract: The conventional approach of biodiesel production is transesterification, using oil and alcohol in the presence of a catalyst with glycerol as a by-product of the reaction. Product quality is dependent on the type and amount of catalyst, type of oil feedstock, alcohol-to-oil ratio, etc. In terms of the best process, currently the alkali catalyzed process is the most profitable while the enzymatic based one is even more promising due to the lower consumption of energy and water; however it requires that the enzyme cost is reduced. The reason that biodiesel is no...
A truly unique visual delight offering insight into the development of animation classics like Bambi, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Lilo and Stitch as well as a tantalizing examination of unfinished Disney projects.
Featuring hundreds of carefully hand-crafted illustrations as well as significant tuition on how to best compose and use images to create the most powerful frames, this book is potentially Hans P. Bacher's life's work encapsulated in one volume. Here, the internationally renowned production designer shares his expertise in an easy-to-follow and imaginative way – giving tips, exercises, and a depth of knowledge garnered from a lifetime in the industry. Bacher's production designs have established the look of many seminal animated films such as The Lion King, Balto, Mulan and Beauty and the Beast, so fans of his work will be delighted. While keeping the focus on storytelling, Bacher instructs readers in the art of animated cinematography with the ever-present aim of soliciting an emotional response from the audience. Vision: Color and Composition for Film represents an amazing depth of experience — and is visually arresting to boot.
