This study aims to determine whether additive manufacturing can be used to produce a safe and reliable video laryngoscope. Different designs were proposed and evaluated with a mannequin for usability. Finite element analysis ...

This study examined access and usage qualities as perceived by students of Information Communication Technologies (ICT) at a South African technology university. Participants were 40 randomly selected first-year (n = 20) ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) has proven to be an attractive alternative manufacturing process compared with subtractive manufacturing (SM). Additive manufacturing has many advantages, such as mass customisation, less material ...

Titanium (together with its alloys) has become 'king' among biometals and has demonstrated to function perfectly in the human body. Despite its well-known celebrated biocompatibility properties, it has a major drawback due ...

The paper reflects on the development of a medical product using rapid prototyping technologies and customer interaction through a quality function deployment (QFD) approach to speed up the process, and to result in customer ...

The objective of this study was to characterise meteorological droughts in the Central Region of South Africa using Standardised Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) and to examine if there is a relationship ...

Catchment response time parameters are one of the primary inputs required when design floods, especially in ungauged catchments, need to be estimated. The time of concentration (TC) is the most frequently used time parameter ...

Industrial Projects IV is a compulsory capstone module for students enrolled for the Baccalaureus Technologiae (BTech) in Electrical Engineering (Power) in South Africa. Power engineering students need to submit six ...

The post-contract phase of the construction process remains critical to cost management. Several techniques have been used to facilitate e ective cost management in this phase. However, the deployment of these techniques ...
