M. Tech. Electronic Engineering.<br>The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in South Africa has developed a portable Multi-Spectral Imaging Camera (MultiCam) capable of capturing images in the Visual (VI), Infra Red (IR) and Ultra Violet (UV) bands. The images obtained from the MultiCam are used to perform diagnostics on high voltage transmission networks. To provide the user with a better understanding of the scene it is necessary to fuse the images. Due to the physical placement of the detectors and the separate zoom-control of each optical channel, a spatial misalignment o

Abstract:
M. Tech. Business Administration<br>This study was undertaken to establish the critical success factors from the literature that are present in success of projects and to identify the positive impact in project management. The study was quantitative in nature and primary data was collected using an online structured questionnaire as a research instrument to the target population following a survey method. Bar-charts were used to present the results and t-test was used for the analysis of the data in view of the objectives of the research. For t-test, a significance level was set at a = 0.05. I

D. Tech. Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering.<br>Aims to develop a continuous process model for extracting platinum from a mixed chloride solution selectively and to establish the conditions under which the platinum content in the feed solution could be upgraded hundred times. The continuous adsorption test will be carried out by using an ideal batch reactor and a packed bed column. The mass transfer characteristics associated with these two process units will be studied and compared along whether other parameters such as adsorption rate constants, selectivity and metal upgrade capability.C
