Thesis (MSc)--University of Stellenbosch, 2001.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The importance of indigenous fruit wines is not well researched and documented. There is a need to develop and exploit these valuable food resources through improved production practices, storage, preservation and utilization technologies. The maruia fruit is beneficial in many ways, it can be used for making juice, jam, beer or can be eaten as a whole fruit. The highly nutritive nature of the fruit, its distinctive tropical flavor, its wild occurrence and demand by the local and international communities for the by-products of the fruit necessitated efforts to optimize the technological processes for the production of the possible by-products. This study focuses on the fermentation technology of the maruia fruit. The effect of enzymes prior to the fermentation process and post-fermentation was evaluated. For pre-fermentation processes we focused on the ability of commercial enzymes to increase juice yield, improve the clarification and filterability. For pre- and post-fermentation applications, aroma release was considered. The results indicated a significant increase in the yield depending on the enzyme used. An increase of at least 2% was recorded and a maximum of 12% yield increase was observed. The enzymes also had a phenomenal effect on the release of bound monoterpenes and hence enhancing the flavor of the juice. The panel of judges confirmed the results from the gas chromatography analyses by noting an increase in flavor intensity in the enzyme treated juice. The possibility of selecting a yeast strain that performs best during the fermentation of maruia pulp was also looked at. This study aimed at selecting a strain that produces wine and distillate with the typical maruia flavor complex. We showed the effect of the different yeast strains, in the wines and distillates, on the principal volatile compounds. We then correlated the performance of the different strains as perceived by the panel to the various volatile compounds. The effect of fermentation temperature on the performance of the different yeast strains was also considered. Fermenting the maruia pulp at different temperatures resulted in the production of wines and distillates with different volatile profiles for the different yeast strains. The wines and distillates fermented at a low temperature of 15°C were preferred to the wines and distillates fermented at 30°C. However, not all strains performed well at 15°C, strains like NT116 performed better at 30°C. The different commercial strains produced wines and distillates with significantly different flavor profiles. These differences in the flavor profiles were reflected in the sensory evaluation where, depending on the interaction of the volatile compounds some wines and distillates were preferred to others. The effect of the different commercial enzymes and yeast strains should thereof be further evaluated and optimized on a larger scale. This would greatly help prevent variation in quality of the fermented by-products of the maruia fruit.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die belang van inheemse vrugtewyne is nie goed nagevors en gedokumenteer nie. Daar is 'n behoefte om hierdie waardevolle voedselbronne te ontwikkel en te benut, deur verbeterde produksiepraktyke, storing, preservering en benuttingstegnologieë. Die maroelavrug is veelsydig op baie wyses, deurdat dit gebruik word vir die maak van sap, konfyt, bier, of as heel vrug geëet kan word. Die vrug is hoog in voedingswaarde, het In kenmerkende tropiese geur, kom wild voor, en is in aanvraag by plaaslike en internasionale gemeenskappe vir die by-produkte van die vrug. Dit maak dit essensieel om die tegnologiese prosesse vir die produksie van hierdie moontlike by-produkte te optimiseer. Hierdie studie fokus op die fermentasie-tegnologie van die maroelavrug. Die effek van ensieme voor en na die fermentasie-proses is geëvalueer. Vir prosesse wat voor fermentasie plaasvind, het ons gefokus op die vermoë van kommersiële ensieme om sapopbrengs te verhoog, asook om verheldering en filtrering te verbeter. Vir beide voor- en na-fermentasie toepassings is die vrystelling van aroma gemonitor. Die resultate dui op 'n betekenisvolle verhoging in die sapopbrengs, afhangende van die ensiem wat gebruik is. 'n Verhoging van ten minste 2% is opgeteken, en 'n maksimum van 12% opbrengsverhoging is waargeneem. Die ensieme het ook 'n geweldige effek op die vrystelling van gebonde monoterpene gehad, en dus die verhoging in die geur van die sap. Die proepaneel het die resultate bevestig van die gaschromatografie-analises, deur 'n verhoging in die geurintensiteit in die ensiembehandelde sap te bemerk. Daar is ook gekyk na die moontlikheid om 'n gisras te selekteer wat die beste presteer tydens die fermentasie van maroela-pulp. Hierdie studie het die doelstelling gehad om In gisras te selekteer wat wyn en distillaat produseer met In tipiese maroelageurkompleks. Ons het die effek van verskillende gisrasse aangedui in die wyne en distillate, op grond van van vlugtige komponente. Ons het dan die prestasie van die verskillende rasse, soos waargeneem deur die paneel, gekorrelleer met die verskeie vlugtige komponente. Die effek van fermentasie-temperatuur op die werkverrigting van die verskillende gisrasse is ook in ag geneem. Fermentasie van die maroela-pulp by verskillende temperature het gelei tot die produksie van wyne en distillate met verskillende vlugtige profiele vir die verskillende gisrasse. Die wyne en distillate wat by In laer temperatuur van 15°C gefermenteer is, is verkies bo die wyne en distillate wat by 30°C gefermenteer is. Alle rasse het egter nie baie goed presteer by 15°C nie, soos byvoorbeeld NT116 wat beter presteer het by 30°C. Die verskillende kommersiële rasse het wyne en distillate geproduseer met betekenisvol verskillende geurprofiele. Hierdie verskille in geurprofiele is gereflekteer in die sensoriese evaluering waar, afhangende van die interaksie van die vlugtige komponente, sommige wyne en distillate bo ander verkies is. Die effek van die verskillende kommersiële ensieme en gisrasse moet verkieslik verder op groter skaal geëvalueer en geoptimiseer word. Dit sal veral help om variasie in kwaliteit van die gefermenteerde by-produkte van die maroelavrug te voorkom.

Full textAbstract:
Solar flares remain a subject of intense study in the solar physics community. These huge releases of energy on the Sun have direct consequences for humans on Earth and in space. The processes that impart tremendous amounts of energy are not well understood. In order to test theoretical models of flare formation and evolution, state of the art, numerical codes must be created that can accurately simulate the wide range of electromagnetic radiation emitted by flares. A direct comparison of simulated radiation to increasingly detailed observations will allow scientists to test the validity of theoretical models. To accomplish this task, numerical codes were developed that can simulate both the thermal and nonthermal components of a flaring plasma, their interactions, and their emissions. The HYLOOP code combines a hydrodynamic equation solver with a nonthermal particle tracking code in order to simulate the thermal and nonthermal aspects of a flare. A solar flare was simulated using this new code with a static atmosphere and with a dynamic atmosphere, to illustrate the importance of considering hydrodynamic effects on nonthermal beam evolution. The importance of density gradients in the evolution of nonthermal electron beams was investigated by studying their effects in isolation. The importance of the initial pitch-angle cosine distribution to flare dynamics was investigated. Emission in XRT filters were calculated and analyzed to see if there were soft X-ray signatures that could give clues to the nonthermal particle distributions. Finally the HXR source motions that appeared in the simulations were compared to real observations of this phenomena.

Have you ever had problems sorting your cables, are the winders you use too big and crude then the EC-winder is the product for you.
The EC-winder concept is a compact and intelligent winder for home application. Its simple design and subtle looks enables it to blend in with the surrounding environment. Its function is designed so that it with ease can be handled by any one after only a couple of instructions. You simply thread the cable trough the opening on the winder and then you rotate the upper part until the cable reaches the desired length. After use the winder can be opened to enable easy extraction of the cable.

Full textAbstract:
Aerodynamic drag can be decreased with respect to a wing’s geometry, and wingtip devices, so called winglets, play a vital role in wing design. The focus has been laid on studying the lift and drag forces generated by merging various winglet designs with a constrained aircraft wing. By using computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations alongside wind tunnel testing of scaled down 3D-printed models, one can evaluate such forces and determine each respective winglet’s contribution to the total lift and drag forces of the wing. At last, the efficiency of the wing was furtherly determined by evaluating its lift-to-drag ratios with the obtained lift and drag forces. The result from this study showed that the overall efficiency of the wing varied depending on the winglet design, with some designs noticeable more efficient than others according to the CFD-simulations. The shark fin-alike winglet was overall the most efficient design, followed shortly by the famous blended design found in many mid-sized airliners. The worst performing designs were surprisingly the fenced and spiroid designs, which had efficiencies on par with the wing without winglet.Det aerodynamiska luftmotståndet kan minskas genom justeringar i vingens geometri, och vingtipsenheter så kallade virveldämpare spelar en vital roll inom vingdesign och utveckling. Projektet hade fokuset på att undersöka de lyft -och motståndskrafterna som genererades av en förutbestämd vinge vid användandet av olika varianter av virveldämpare. Genom beräkningsströmningsdynamiska simuleringar (CFD) och vindtunneltester av nerskalade 3D-utskrivna modeller kan dessa krafter beräknas. Med hjälp av dessa kan respektive virveldämparens bidrag till de sammanlagda lyft -och motståndskrafterna på vingen vidare bestämmas. Genom att beräkna förhållandet mellan de erhållna lyft -och motståndskrafterna kan vingens glidtal sist bestämmas, som är ett dimensionslöst mått på vingens effektivitet. Resultatet från denna studie visade att vingens prestanda varierade efter på valet av virveldämpare, där vissa designer gav avsevärda förbättringar över andra enligt CFD-simuleringar. Den hajfensliknande varianten (så kallad sharklet på engelska) var den mest effektiva designen, tätt följt av den ordinära uppåtriktade typen (blended på engelska) som återfinns på många av dagens medelstora flygplan. De sämst presterande designerna var förvånande nog den triangel -och spiralformade (fenced och spiroid på engelska), vilka presterade på samma nivå som den virveldämparfria vingen.

Thesis (MSc Food Sc)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this study an industry-selected and diverse range of South African red wines were analysed for sensory and chemical attributes, as well as degree of liking using a target group of black South African consumers. Segments of consumers that differed in degree of liking were then tested for their response to intrinsic (sensory) and extrinsic (non-sensory) cues. The selection of wines included eighteen dry and natural sweet red wines, representing low-end inexpensive wines together with high-end, top quality wines. Sensory profiles for all samples were established using Quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA). The results revealed that cultivar specific dry red wines associated with a wide range of sensory descriptors such as woody, vegetative and fruity, while the sweet red wines associated with the fruity and sweet-associated attributes. Chemically there was a significant variation between wines regarding the alcohol and sugar content. Gas chromatography with flame ionisation detection (GC-FID) indicated the major volatile constituents present in the wine, i.e. esters, alcohols and fatty acids. When investigating the association between the chemical and sensory data, it was revealed that the red blends were driven by the presence of alcohols and esters, and sensory descriptors such as high roast oak, coffee and mixed spice, whereas the red cultivar wines were mostly driven by fatty acids and esters and the sensory descriptors, green bean and asparagus. The sweet red blends were closely associated with acids and the sensory descriptors sweet-associated and floral. Degree of liking of a subset of 18 wines was investigated based on the preferences of black consumers from the Western Cape area, South Africa. These consumers predominantly preferred the sweet red wines with high sugar content, in a blind tasting session. Purchase intent was also evaluated by viewing actual photographs of packaging formats of the respective wines and the results indicated that the consumers preferred the well-known cultivar wines with a perception of value and style. Cluster analysis was furthermore performed to ascertain whether these consumers differed in their degree of liking of the intrinsic character of the respective wines. Four different clusters of consumers were identified: 1) Consumers preferring both dry and sweet red wines equally, 2) Consumers who strongly favoured sweet red wines and moderately liked dry red wines, 3) Consumers who strongly favoured sweet red wines with little preference for dry red wines; and 4) Consumers preferring dry red wines. Consumers were also probed on their general opinions or perceptions on the extrinsic character of the wines, and thus factors that influence the purchasing process. It was found that black consumers who don‟t consume wine often, preferred wines that they are familiar with, while consumers that drink wine more frequently enjoy to broaden their horizons by experimenting with more expensive wine brands. Extrinsic or non-sensory cues such as alcohol content, label, vintage, price and cultivar were found to be the most important considered factors when purchasing red wines, while awards and type of closure were regarded as the least important. It was also found that the discerning consumers, who purchase high-end wines, took more of the latter aspects into consideration, whereas consumers who purchase low-end wines considered a limited number of the non-sensory cues.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie studie is 'n diverse reeks industrie-geselekteerde, Suid-Afrikaanse rooiwyne geanaliseer vir hul sensoriese en chemiese eienskappe. Verbruikersvoorkeur van die wyne is getoets, asook tot watter mate verbruikersvoorkeure beïnvloed word deur intrinsieke (sensoriese) en ekstrinsieke (nie-sensoriese) faktore. Die reeks van agtien wyne het bestaan uit droë en soet rooi wyne, wat op hul beurt verder verdeel kan word in goedkoper, kwaliteit wyne en duurder, ultra-premium wyne. Die sensoriese profiel van al die wyne is bepaal deur beskrywende sensoriese analise. Resultate het getoon dat die kultivar-spesifieke droë rooiwyne geassosieer word met 'n wye reeks sensoriese eienskappe soos houtagtig, kruidagtig en vrugtig, terwyl die soet rooiwyne beskryf is as vrugtige en soet-geassosieerd. In terme van die chemiese analises was daar betekenisvolle verskille betreffende die alkohol- en suikerinhoud van die wyne. Gas chromatografie gekoppel met vlam-ioniserende deteksie (GC-FID) het die mees vlugtige verbindings teenwoordig in die wyn aangedui, naamlik esters, alkohole en vetsure. Met die korrelasie van die chemiese en sensoriese data is gevind dat die droë versnitwyne gedryf word deur die teenwoordigheid van alkohole en esters, asook sensoriese eienskappe soos gehout, koffie, en gemengde spesery, terwyl die kultivar-spesieke wyne weer meestal gedryf word deur vetsure en esters en sensoriese eienskappe soos groenboontjie en aspersie. Die soet rooiwyne het chemies geassosieer met sure en sensoriese terme soos soet-geassosieerd en blomagtig. Die aanvaarbaarheid van 'n kleiner groepering wyne is bepaal deur gebruik te maak van swart verbruikers in die Wes-Kaap area, Suid-Afrika. Die verbruikers het in 'n blinde proesessie onderskeie wyne se wynverpakking besigtig en aangedui of hulle die wyne sou koop. Hierdie resultate het getoon dat die verbruikers bekende kultivarwyne verkies wat 'n persepsie van waarde en styl geïllustreer het. Segmentasie tegnieke is op die data uitgevoer ten einde te bepaal of verbruikers in groepe verdeel kan word, wat betref hul voorkeur van die sensoriese of intrinsieke eienskappe van die wyne. Vier verskillende groepe is geïdentifiseer, nl. verbruikers wat 1) droë en soet rooiwyne ewe veel verkies; 2) soet rooiwyne en tot 'n mate ook droë rooiwyne verkies; 3) soet rooiwyne en tot 'n mindere mate droë rooiwyne verkies; en laastens 4) slegs droë rooiwyne verkies. Verbruikers se algemene opinies en persepsies betreffende die ekstrinsieke eienskappe van die wyne is ook ondersoek, met ander woorde faktore wat die aankoop van wyne beïnvloed. Daar is gevind dat swart verbruikers wat nie gereeld wyn drink, bekende handelsmerke verkies, terwyl verbruikers wat gereeld wyn drink, daarvan hou om hul horisonne te verbreed en te eksperimenteer met 'n verskeidenheid handelsmerke. Ekstrinsieke of nie-sensoriese aspekte soos, alkohol-inhoud, etiket, oesjaar, prys en kultivar is die belangrikste faktore wat in ag geneem word wanneer rooiwyne gekoop word, terwyl wyntoekennings en die feit dat die wyn met kurke gebotteleer word, nie as belangrik beskou word nie. Daar is ook gevind dat die meer ingeligte verbruiker, wat hoë kwaliteit wyne koop, meer van die bogenoemde aspekte in ag neem tydens die aankoopproses, terwyl die verbruiker wat meer geneig is om goedkoper wyne te koop, slegs 'n paar ekstrinsieke faktore in ag neem.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to study prevalence of winter depressive mood and treatment effects of bright light for persons with winter fatigue and winter depression. Study I is a cross-sectional survey of a random sample (N=1657) from the general population between 18-65 years of age in Dalarna, Sweden (latitude 60°N). Study II is a similar survey of 17-18 year old students (N=756) in the municipality of Falun. Approximately 20% of both samples report seasonal symptoms, mainly fatigue, lowered mood and increased sleep duration, appetite and weight. Study III examines the effects of treatment in light rooms for persons from the sample in Study I (40 women, 10 men) with clinically assessed Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or subclinical SAD (S-SAD). Subjects were randomised either to an experimental group receiving ten days of bright light treatment or to a three-week waiting-list control condition followed by bright light treatment. There was a >50% reduction of depressed mood in 13 of the 24 subjects in the experimental group, while none of the 24 controls reported a similar reduction. At the one-month follow-up, results were maintained and 39 of 47 subjects were improved >50%. Fatigue and excessive daytime sleepiness, which were high at baseline, were normal/below population norms for 39 of 47 subjects at the one-month follow-up. Mean values for the mental health aspect of health-related quality of life, which were low at baseline, improved and were close to norms at the one-month follow-up. Study IV is a person-oriented subgroup/cluster analysis of the subjects in Study III. A common trait in all three clusters was a high level of fatigue hence the denomination ´Winter Fatigue´ is used for the merged group. Even though the degree of depressive mood and daytime sleepiness differed between the subgroups, all three groups improved following bright light treatment. The results suggest that an increase in fatigue and depressed mood during the winter season is common in the general population. Bright light treatment reduces depressive mood, fatigue and excessive daytime sleepiness and improves health-related quality of life in persons with winter fatigue and winter depression.

Thesis (MAcc)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The use of derivative instruments, including single-stock futures, experienced unprecedented growth over the last twenty years. South Africa, like the rest of the world, is still experiencing extraordinary growth in the trading of these instruments. The taxation of these transactions, therefore, are of increasing practical importance. Despite this unprecedented growth, the South African tax policy makers have neglected the tax treatment of these instruments to a large extent. Due to the lack of specific legislative provisions regulating the tax aspects of these instruments, the general principles of the South African income tax law have to be applied. This gives rise to conflicting opinions regarding the tax treatment of these instruments, primarily as a result of the fact that these principles were developed long before the widespread use of derivative instruments. The lack of relevant case law in this regard is also problematic. This results in great uncertainty surrounding the tax treatment of profits from single stock futures. This research paper applies the general principles of the South African income tax law in order to determine when these profits accrue to the taxpayer and to determine the nature thereof. The introduction of capital gains tax has added yet a further dimension to the taxation of these instruments and is also considered. This research paper also considers the income tax treatment of similar instruments in Australia in order to identify useful principles that may be applied within a South African context. In light of the increasing volume and value of derivative transactions, it is imperative that clarity regarding the taxation of these transactions be obtained as soon as possible. Any reform and revised tax rules need to provide certainty to the taxpayer while remaining flexible enough to ensure that future changes in the ever-changing financial instruments environment are accommodated.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die gebruik van afgeleide instrumente, waaronder enkel-aandeeltermynkontrakte, het die afgelope twintig jaar ongekende groei beleef. Suid-Afrika, net soos die res van die wêreld, beleef steeds buitengewone groei in die verhandeling van hierdie instrumente. Die belasbaarheid van hierdie transaksies is gevolglik van toenemende praktiese belang. Ten spyte van hierdie ongekende groei, het die belastingbeleidmakers in Suid-Afrika tot ’n groot mate die belastinghantering van hierdie instrumente verwaarloos. Vanweë die gebrek aan spesifieke wetlike bepalings wat die belastingaspekte van laasgenoemde reguleer, moet die algemene beginsels van die Suid-Afrikaanse inkomstebelastingreg op hierdie instrumente toegepas word. Dié beginsels is egter reeds lank voor die wydverspreide gebruik van afgeleide instrumente ontwikkel en lei tot teenstrydige menings rondom die belastinghantering van hierdie instrumente. Die gebrek aan toepaslike regspraak in hierdie verband is ook problematies. Daar heers gevolglik groot onsekerheid oor die inkomstebelastinghantering van winste verdien uit enkel-aandeeltermynkontrakte. Hierdie navorsingswerkstuk pas die algemene beginsels van die Suid-Afrikaanse inkomstebelastingreg toe ten einde die tydstip waarop dié winste aan die belastingpligtige toeval en die aard daarvan te bepaal. Die inwerkingtreding van kapitaalwinsbelasting het nog 'n verdere aspek aan die belasbaarheid van hierdie instrumente toegevoeg en word ook oorweeg. Die navorsingswerkstuk oorweeg ook die inkomstebelastinghantering van soortgelyke instrumente in Australië ten einde nuttige beginsels te identifiseer wat binne Suid-Afrikaanse konteks toegepas kan word. Indien ag geslaan word op die toename in die aantal en waarde van transaksies in afgeleide instrumente, is dit noodsaaklik dat duidelikheid rakende die belasbaarheid daarvan so spoedig doenlik verkry word. Enige hervorming en hersiende belastingreëls moet sekerheid aan die belastingpligtige verskaf, maar moet terselfdetyd buigsaam genoeg wees om ruimte te skep vir toekomstige veranderinge binne die snelgroeiende finansiële instrumente-omgewing.

Full textAbstract:
Hard red winter wheat (winter wheat, Triticum aestivum L.) production has been
historically low in ND due to cold winter temperatures resulting in winter injury and stand
loss. The objective of this research was to determine if management practices could
improve winter survival and yield of winter wheat. Field experiments were conducted at
five locations. Due to high winter snowfall, there was little difference in snow depth and
winter survival between previous crop residues. Planting at the recommended date always
resulted in the highest winter survival compared to planting late. At Hettinger, soil
temperatures reached nearly -15?C, and as a result, the less-hardy cultivar Hawken had
only 50% winter survival. Differences in fertility treatment were not consistent across
location during this study. ND soils are inherently high in P and K, so it is likely the high
soil nutrient levels masked any potential benefit to seed-applied P and K.

Full textAbstract:
Increasing cycling as a means of personal travel couldgenerate environmental benefits if associated with acorresponding decrease in car-based transport. In seeking topromote cycling in wintertime, it is desirable to understandhow important the road surface condition is compared to otherfactors in people's decision to cycle or not. In this thesis,the possibility of increasing the number of cyclists byimproving the winter maintenance servicelevel on cycleways isexamined. The attitudes towards cycling during winter ingeneral, and in relation to winter maintenance of cycleways inparticular, is studied through questionnaire surveys. Bicyclemeasurements are related to weather data from Road WeatherInformation System, in order to know the influence on cycleflow during winter from different weather factors. Fieldstudies are performed testing unconventional winter maintenancemethods, in order to see if a higher service level could beachieved on cycleways and if that would lead to an increase inwinter cycling frequency. The field studies are evaluatedthrough road condition observations, measurements of friction,bicycle counts, a questionnaire survey and interviews. A visualmethod to assess winter road conditions on cycleways isdeveloped, in order to compare the service levels achievedusing different winter maintenance methods.
There is a clear difference in mode choice between seasons.With improved winter maintenance service level it could bepossible to increase the number of bicycle trips to work duringwinter with, at the most, 18 %, and decrease the number of cartrips with 6 %. However, it could not be concluded with bicyclemeasurements, that an enhanced service level in fact, generateda higher winter cycling frequency.
To increase cycling during winter, snow clearance is themost important maintenance measure. Skid control is not assignificant for the choice of mode but is important to attendto for safety reasons. Winter road condition propertiesimportant both with regard to safety and accessibility ofcyclists, are icy tracks formed when wet snow freezes, snowdepths greater than about 3 cm of loose snow or slush,unevenness in a snow covered surface, loose grit on a baresurface.
Weather factors with negative influence on winter cyclingfrequency, are temperatures below +5 ° C,precipitationand strong winds. Only the occurrence of precipitation, not theamount of rain or snow, is significant for the cycle flow. Lowtemperatures are more important in reducing the cycle flow thanprecipitation. Temperatures around 0 ° C seem to be extracritical for cyclists, probably due to the larger influence ofprecipitation and slippery road conditions at thesetemperatures.
An unconventional method using a power broom for snowclearance and brine or pre-wetted salt for de-icing, provides ahigher service level than winter maintenance methodstraditionally used, but it is about 2 to 3 times moreexpensive. The method has great potential in regions, such assouthern Sweden, with low snow accumulations but with major iceformation problems. To assess the maintenance service level,the visual assessment method developed and tested in thisproject is adequate for the purpose, however, furtherimprovements are desirable. As a complement to the visualassessment, a Portable Friction Tester can be used to measurethe surface friction on cycleways during wintertime.

The past is the prologue. We must understand where we have been before we can understand where we are going. To understand the Blackfoot Nation and how we have come to where we are today, this thesis examines our history through Indian eyes from time immemorial to the present, using traditional narratives, writings of early European explorers and personal experience. The oral tradition of the First Nations people was a multi-media means of communication. Similarly, this thesis uses the media of the written word and a series of paintings to convey the story of the Blackfoot people.
This thesis provides background and support, from the artist’s perspective, for the paintings that tell the story of the Blackfoot people and the events that contributed to the downfall of the once-powerful Nation.

Full textAbstract:
Kontorsarbete innebär för de flesta mycket stillasittande. Problemen som uppkommer av detta kan till stor del förebyggas med förbättrad sittergonomi. Projektets mål var att utveckla en ergonomisk kontorsstol som underlättar för användaren att sitta bättre och aktivera kroppen. Den ska även passa in i olika kontorsmiljöer, och besitta ett utseende som inte avskräckar användaren. En granskning av olika studier och ergonomisk litteratur, samt genomförande av användarstudier visar att variation i ställning har stort inflytande på förebyggande av obehag, värk och risk för muskuloskeletala problem. Det konstateras även att en lösning som angriper användarnas kunskapsbrist kring sittande har god potential. Resultatet av det följande produktutvecklingsarbetet är en kontorsstolskoncept utformat för att låta användaren enkelt växla ställning och förbättra sin ergonomi utan extra kunskap i ämnet. Stolens säte har böjbara zoner som viks ner under användarens lår, vilket får hen att svanka och därmed förbättra sin hållning. Stolen erbjuder även möjligheten att sitta som vanligt tack vare ett par stöd som kan fällas in under dessa zoner.Sedentary work is a recurring aspect of modern office life. Inactivity is a source of discomfort and becomes a cause of musculoskeletal disorders in the long run. These issues can be mitigated by improving one's ergonomics while working. The aim of this project was to develop an ergonomic office chair reducing the effort of sitting properly and activating the body. The chair's appearance must fit in different office environments and look familiar enough as to not deter users. After reviewing studies and ergonomic literature, as well as conducting user interviews, the conclusion is drawn that discomfort and the risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders are affected by a lack of frequent variation in sitting positions. Additionally, these problems were linked to users' lack of knowledge regarding good ergonomic sitting practices.The result of the following product development process is an office chair concept that offers a simple way of switching positions, attaining ergonomic benefits without any need for pre-requisite knowledge about the subject. Thanks to its simple operation, the switch is easy to make use of. The seat features flexible parts that fold under the weight of the user's legs, causing their lower back to arch and improving their posture. The chair also provides the option to sit normally thanks to a set of supports that can be folded in under these flexible parts.

Factors affecting the survival of over-wintering tree roots during waterlogging were investigated. Die-back of roots covered by high Winter water tables results in shallow rooted trees susceptible to wind-throw. Such is the scale of the problem in Britain, this research is considered to be of practical relevance. Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr.) and Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Douglas ex Loudon) were chosen, being the most predominant species planted and showing differing susceptibility to flooding. Sitka spruce is considered flood-intolerant (Crawford 1982) and Lodgepole pine highly-tolerant (Minore 1968). In both species, waterlogging the whole root system for 3 months severely reduced the carbohydrate content of the distal 15cm root, reflecting almost total depletion of starch reserve and varying degrees of glucose depletion. In Sitka spruce, depletion depended on the date of flood-initiation, being most severe after flooding from October when root respiration rate was higher, rather than November as the roots became dormant. Flooding injury was reflected in decreased tri-phenyl tetrazolium chloride reduction and loss of respiratory capacity. Greater loss of aerobic (as compared to anaerobic) respiration capacity after flooding suggested damage to the aerobic pathway, either directly through anoxia or indirectly due to depletion of sugars important in cell maintenance. Injury appeared to be greater when respiratory activity at flood-initiation was high. Aeration from stem lenticels ameliorated flood-injury and carbohydrate depletion in Lodgepole pine, although the roots appeared to have no metabolic adaptation to anoxia. Increased soil temperature during Winter flooding increased carbohydrate depletion in the distal root and reduced viability relative to seedlings flooded at ambient temperature. Carbohydrate depletion during cold storage and its effect on survival of soil waterlogging at out-planting was determined in Sitka spruce. Cold storage leads to increased root growth and slightly superior flood-tolerance when compared to nursery over-wintered seedlings, presumably due to the more dormant state of stored seedlings.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The global wine industry has shifted to a more adopted ‘consumer-preference’ production. Modern wine consumers are more knowledgeable and cultivated in their understanding of wine quality, value and style. The quality of red wines mainly depends on grape composition, the wine making process and the ability of tasters to recognise sensory attributes. The harvest date/stage has an influence on the grape composition, thus making the decision on when to harvest an important factor in the production of quality wines or different wine styles. The traditional indicators used in the wine industry to determine time of harvest are more related to the perception of taste and mouthfeel and give little indication of the style of wine in terms of aromatic profile. A new physiological indicator using berry sugar accumulation for the purpose of sequential harvest is proposed to assist the winemaker in producing wines with possible different sensory profiles. This indicator can be used in association with the classical indicators of ripening to affect the diversity of wine styles from a single vineyard or a group of vineyards. The wines could thus have different potential aroma profiles, depending on when the grapes were harvested. The main aim of this study was to assess the effect of performing sequential harvest using a physiological indicator on red wine’s sensory composition. This was done to study the possible relation between harvest time (e.g. fruit composition evolution) and the wine styles/sensory attributes across the different harvest times, thereby possibly increasing the diversity of wine styles. A theoretical berry sugar loading concept was compiled and displays a phase of rapid sugar loading starting at véraison followed by a plateau phase. Depending on whether grapes were harvested in the beginning, mid or end of the plateau phase of fruit sugar accumulation the wines could have different potential aroma profiles. Three main stages: fresh fruit (FF), neutral (N) or pre ripe and mature fruit (MF) has been previously proposed using the sugar loading concept and in terms of harvesting dates. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes form Eikendal Vineyards, Stellenbosch were used to make wines according to sequential harvest. Four harvest stages were considered, pre fresh fruit (Pre FF), fresh fruit (FF), mature fruit (MF) and over ripe (OR). The wines were tasted and analysed using two different sensory techniques. In both Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon wines, the PreFF and OR stages could be more easily discriminated than the two harvest stages in-between, FF and MF. The results suggested that the wines made from the FF and MF stages could not be distinguished from each other in general when the attribute citation frequency method or sorting tasks were performed. However, a trend could be observed for both Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot wines in terms of aroma attributes with attributes changing from green to ripe fruit during ripening using expert tasters. Relevant research should be engaged to refine sequential harvest in order to obtain more diverse wine styles from a single site or a group of vineyards.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die wêreldwye wynbedryf het ’n verskuiwing ondergaan na ’n verbruikersvoorkeurbenadering in produksie. Wynverbruikers is deesdae beter ingelig en meer ontwikkeld ten opsigte van hulle kennis van wyngehalte, wynstyl, asook die waarde van wyn. Die gehalte van rooiwyn hang hoofsaaklik af van die druifsamestelling, die wynmaakproses en die vermoë van proewers om sensoriese eienskappe te herken. Aangesien die oesdatum/-fase ’n invloed het op druifsamestelling, is die besluit oor wanneer daar geoes moet word ’n belangrike faktor in die vervaardiging van gehaltewyne of verskillende wynstyle. Die tradisionele aanwysers wat in die wynbedryf gebruik word om oestyd te bepaal, hou verband met die waarneming van smaak en mondgevoel en gee weinig aanduiding van die wynstyl op grond van die aromatiese profiel. ’n Nuwe fisiologiese aanwyser wat gebruik maak van suikerakkumulasie in die druiwekorrel in opeenvolgende oeste, het ten doel om die wynmaker te help om wyne met verskeie moontlike sensoriese profiele te vervaardig. Hierdie aanwyser kan saam met die klassieke aanwysers van rypwording gebruik word om ’n verskeidenheid wynstyle uit een wingerd of wingerdgroep te vervaardig. Die wyne kan dus potensieel oor verskillende aromatiese profiele beskik, afhangend van wanneer die druiwe geoes is. Die hoofdoel van die studie was om die invloed van opeenvolgende oes te toets deur ’n fisiologiese aanwyser op rooiwyn se sensoriese samestelling toe te pas. Dit word gedoen deur die moontlike verhouding tussen die oestyd (bv. ontwikkeling van vrugsamestelling) en die wynstyle of wyn se sensoriese kenmerke op verskillende oestye te bestudeer ten einde die verskeidenheid wynstyle potensieel te vermeerder. ’n Teoretiese konsep van druifsuikeropname is saamgestel wat dui op ’n fase van vinnige suikeropname wat by véraison begin, gevolg deur ’n plato-fase. Wyn kan oor verskillende moontlike aromatiese profiele beskik, afhangend daarvan of die druiwe aan die begin, middel of einde van die plato-fase van suikeropname geoes is. Drie hooffases is al voorheen voorgestel deur gebruik te maak van die konsep van suikeropname volgens oesdatum, te wete vars vrugte (VV) (“fresh fruit”, FF), neutraal (N) (“neutral”, N) of voor ryp (“pre ripe”), en ryp vrugte (RF) (“mature fruit”, MF). Cabernet Sauvignon- en Merlot-druiwe van Eikendal, Stellenbosch, se wingerde is gebruik om wyn volgens opeenvolgende oes te maak. Vier oesfases is oorweeg, te wete voor vars vrugte (VVV) (“pre fresh fruit”, Pre FF), vars vrugte (VV) (“fresh fruit”, FF), ryp vrugte (RV) (“mature fruit”, MF), en oorryp (OR) (“over ripe”, OR). Die wyn is geproe en geanaliseer deur gebruik te maak van twee verskille sensoriese tegnieke. In die geval van beide die Merlot- en Cabernet Sauvignon-wyn kon die VVV- en OR-fases makliker onderskei word as die twee tussenin-fases, VV en RV. Resultate dui daarop dat wyn wat van die VV- en RV-fases gemaak is, oor die algemeen nie van mekaar onderskei kan word wanneer die frekwensie van kenmerkaanhaling-metode en sorteringstaak uitgevoer word nie. ’n Tendens kon egter waargeneem word vir Cabernet Sauvignon- én Merlot-wyn ten opsigte van aromatiese kenmerke, deurdat kenmerke gedurende rypwording van groen na ryp vrugte verander het indien ekspertproewers gebruik is. Verdere navorsing moet gedoen word om opeenvolgende oes te verfyn ten einde ’n wyer verskeidenheid wynstyle van ’n enkele area of wingerdgroep te verkry.

Full textAbstract:
This is a Creative Writing thesis, which incorporates both critical writing and my own novel, Cold City. The thesis explores ‘myth-revision’ in selected works of Fantasy fiction. Myth-revision is defined as the retelling of traditional legends, folk-tales and other familiar stories in such as way as to change the story’s implied ideology. (For example, Angela Carter’s ‘The Company of Wolves’ revises ‘Red Riding Hood’ into a feminist tale of female sexuality and empowerment.) Myth-revision, the thesis argues, has become a significant trend in Fantasy fiction in the last three decades, and is notable in the works of Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman and Philip Pullman. Despite its incorporation of supernatural elements, myth-revision is an agnostic or even atheistic phenomenon, which takes power from deities and gives it to moral humans instead. As such it represents a rebellion against the ‘Founding Fathers’ of Fantasy, writers such as Tolkien or CS Lewis, whose works stress the rightful superiority of divine figures. The thesis pays particular attention to how the myths surrounding the Winter Solstice are revised in this kind of fiction. Part One consists of my novel Cold City, with appropriate annotations. In Part Two, Chapter One compares and contrasts Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials with CS Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia. It argues that Pullman’s sequence of children’s novels is an anti-Narnia, which revises CS Lewis’s conservative Christian allegory into one supporting Pullman’s secular humanist viewpoint. Chapter Two explores myth-revision in Elizabeth Hand’s novel of adult Fantasy Winterlong. It examines how Hand ‘revises’ the Hellenic myth of the god Dionysos, especially as it is related to Euripides’ tragedy The Bacchae. Chapter Three examines the use of ‘Ragnarok’ – the ancient Norse myth of the end of the world – in Cold City.

Full textAbstract:
Vienna, city of music.
Often considered as the world classical music capital, Vienna has been home of the most important composers in history. Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann and Chopin spent a consequent part of their careers in this city.
Vienna has a strong musical heritage, and is still very active in the world of classical music.
But today there is a need of an institution, a building that would transmit this prestigious culture. A place that would gather the two ways of sharing music : teaching and performing. This building would be the keeper of the musical culture of Vienna, transmitting it to the next generations, and displaying the best current musicians at the same time and in the same place.
The preliminary question and main stake has been raised in the last decade by leading offices such as Snohetta, BIG, and OMA, who shifted the focus when designing a concert hall from the beauty and iconic status of the concert hall to its capacity to work as a main public place in the city.
This project tries to address this question by mixing the program with a music school, resulting in a more porous building used by a wider category of persons ; and by housing a public plaza between its two programs. Visitors would go through the building with views on the music school to access the foyer and the auditorium, or just to go up on the plaza.
The way the project addresses the first challenge is bringing a second one. When designing a building with two types of programs, and therefore (at least) two types of users, how and where to separate them, how to make them meet. We could even wonder if they should meet at all, or have their very own parts of the project. The Wiener Musikhaus is somehow based on the principle of a table. A table is the object that allows people to meet (meals, meetings, tribunals, interviews, debates, all these places need tables). It allows people to meet first because it separates them. It is bringing people close to each other while ensuring that they wont come too close. The project uses this principle to create an intermediate outdoor plaza between the two programs. It separates the two entities to give them their identity and at the same time brings the neutral place where both can meet. It is the boundary and the link between the two programs.

Full textAbstract:
Winter road maintenance activities are crucial for maintaining the accessibility and traffic safety of the road network at northerly latitudes during winter. Common winter road maintenance activities include snow ploughing and the use of anti-icing agents (e.g. road salt, NaCl). Since the local weather is decisive in creating an increased risk of slippery conditions, understanding the link between local weather and conditions at the road surface is critically important. Sensors are commonly installed along roads to measure road weather conditions and support road maintenance personnel in taking appropriate actions. In order to improve winter road maintenance, more precise information about road surface conditions is essential. In this thesis, different methods for estimation of road weather are developed, discussed and tested. The methods use the principles of infrared thermometry, image analysis and spectroscopy to describe ice formation, snow accumulation and road surface wetness in specific patches or along road sections. In practical applications, the methods could be used for better planning of snow clearing operations, forecasting of ice formation and spreading of road salt. Implementing the proposed methods could lead to lower maintenance costs, increased traffic safety and reduced environmental impact.QC 20121116

Berry, Peter Michael. "Predicting lodging in winter wheat." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 1998. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/13494/.
Full textAbstract:
Lodging, the permanent displacement of plant stems from the vertical, occurs on average once every four years in UK wheat crops, when it reduces the yield and bread making quality of grain. Lodging usually occurs in the summer and control is most commonly sought by applying growth retarding chemicals in the spring. This thesis develops a method of predicting which crops are prone to lodging so that spring lodging controls can be targeted most effectively. A model was developed in association with this study which calculates stem and root lodging risk from summer-time plant, weather and soil factors. The spread of the plant's root plate, the stem diameter and the number of shoots per plant were shown to have very strong influences on lodging. Structural rooting depth, stem failure yield stress, height at centre of gravity and the rate at which stems oscillate in wind (natural frequency) were also important, but less influential. Methods of predicting the most important lodging-associated plant characters from crop observations in spring were developed from the literature. These were then tested through experiments in 1995 and 1996 with factorial combinations of crops sown in late September and late October, at 500 seeds m-2 and 250 seeds m-2 and with large and small levels of residual soil nitrogen. Early sowing, dense seed rates and fertile soils all increased stem and root lodging, with sowing date having the greatest influence. Plants sown at high densities had small root plates and were poorly anchored; they also had fewer shoots causing a smaller leverage. Early sown plants had shoots with a high centre of gravity and slow natural frequency, causing a greater leverage. Plants sown early on fertile soils had narrow, weak stems. Final shoot number per plant was predicted with good precision (R2=094) from spring plant number m-2 and maximum shoot number m-2 using a model of tiller survival. Stem diameter was predicted with moderate precision (R2=057) from spring canopy size and shoot number m-2, via a calculation of the amount of dry matter partitioned to each stem base. Root plate spread showed a linear and inverse relationship to spring plant density (R2=0.48), mainly as a result of variation in the length of the rigid roots and in the width of the plant base. It is concluded that early season crop observations have the potential to predict the values of the most influential lodging-associated plant characters, from which a model of lodging can calculate the proneness of crops to stem or root lodging in time for remedial action. The next steps would be to develop prediction schemes for other plant characters which influence lodging and test all the predictions in a wider range of crops, sites and seasons.

Full textAbstract:
Winter conditions are believed to play an important role in the population dynamics of northern temperate stream fish, challenging the ability of fish to physiologically and behaviourally adapt. Climate change is predicted to increase both mean temperature and temperature fluctuations, especially during winter, leading to dynamic environmental conditions in terms of river ice production and flow. Therefore, knowledge about the winter ecology of stream fish is important for predicting and mitigating anthropogenic impacts on fish production in boreal streams. Stream salmonids are relatively active throughout winter, and behavioural responses to different winter conditions may be critical for survival. Yet, relatively little is known about overwintering behaviour of salmonids, particularly in streams with ice. In this doctoral thesis, I report the results from experimental field and laboratory studies on the behavioural ecology of juvenile salmonids under winter conditions. My results from the field show that salmonids grow more and use a broader range of habitats in the presence of surface ice than in its absence. Results from the laboratory experiments show that the presence of surface ice increases food intake rates, reduces stress and affects social interactions. These laboratory results may explain the positive effects of ice cover on growth that was found in the field experiment. Moreover, I show that drift-feeding ability is reduced at low temperatures, and that nocturnal drift foraging under winter conditions has a low efficiency.Vinterförhållanden kan spela en avgörande roll för förekomsten av fisk i våra vattendrag. Laxfiskar, som till exempel lax, öring och harr, är vinteraktiva och måste därför anpassa sin fysiologi och sitt beteende till en miljö som karakteriseras av låga och föränderliga vattenflöden, liten tillgång på föda, kallt vatten, is och mörker. Trots att dessa anpassningar är avgörande för chansen att överleva vintern, vet man relativt lite om laxfiskars vinterbeteende, speciellt i vattendrag som täcks av is. I denna avhandling presenterar jag resultat från fält- och laboratoriestudier av laxfiskars beteende under vinterförhållanden och resultaten visar att närvaron av yttäckande is ökar tillväxt och födointag, minskar stress samt påverkar var fiskar uppehåller sig och hur fiskarna interagerar med varandra. Jag har också undersökt hur laxfiskars beteende i rinnande vatten påverkas av ljusintensitet och vattentemperatur i samband med födointag. Resultaten visar att den minskade dagaktiviteten som laxfiskar uppvisar på vintern medför en kostnad i form av försämrad förmåga att fånga byten.

Full textAbstract:
As of year 2020, maglev train systems are not in service in areas with harsh winter climate. Compared to conventional railway, the technology is relatively new and untested in conditions of low temperatures, icing and snow. If maglev is to be deployed in areas of cold climate, the effects on the technology under these conditions must be investigated. Low temperature pose problems for materials in general as material properties change. One example is dampers, whose damping constants can change drastically with temperature. Icing on the train vehicles cause increased turbulence and drag and chunks of ice can come loose of the vehicle and cause great damage to both the rolling stock and the guideway around it. These issues are especially problematic at the high speeds that maglev trains can reach, as aerodynamic forces often increase faster with greater velocities. Atomized snow in the air caused by the train’s turbulence can pile up on the bogies and around sensitive areas like ventilation inlets. It is found that many solutions that are used for railway trains can be applied to the maglev technology as well. However, there are some unique challenges for maglev trains. High speed forces, advanced guideway switch management, and frost wedging of the guideways are a few examples. Japan is the leading country in the maglev technology as of 2020, and they have some suggested solutions for cold climate issues for their superconductive maglev. For example, much of the guideway is lead through tunnels, as to not expose the vehicle and guideway to snow. In outside portions, water sprinkler systems and protective hoods are utilized to keep the guideway clear of snow.År 2020 finns ännu inga maglev tåg i regioner med tufft vinterklimat. Jämfört med konventionell järnväg så är tekniken relativt otestad mot snö, is och låga temperaturer. Om maglev skall användas i dessa regioner måste effekterna av ett kallt klimat på tekniken undersökas. Låga temperaturer skapar generellt problematiska förändringar i materialegenskaper. Ett exempel är dämpare, vars dämpningskonstanter kan förändras drastiskt då komponenten utsätts för varierande temperaturer. Is på tågets yta kan leda till ökat luftmostsånd och turbulens runt vagnarna. Samma isklumpar kan falla av tåget i höga hastigheter vilket kan leda till stor skada på både vagnar och tågbana. Atomiserad snö runt tåget kan leda till ackumulering av snö, framförallt under tågvagnarna, och snöpartiklarna kan ta sig in i känsliga system som ventilationsutlopp. Många lösningar som används för konventionell järnväg är också applicerbara för maglev. Det finns dock ett antal unika utmaningar för tekniken, som främst har med de höga hastigheterna och den unika typen av tågbana att göra. Luftmotstånd och turbulens ökar matematiskt fortare än hastigheten, och höga hastigheter medför även större krafter. Det leder till ökad vikt av att hålla tågen isfria. De tågbanor som maglev använder är ofta byggda av betong som är känsligt för både frostsprängning och erosion. Även där finns unika utmaningar. Japan är ledande inom maglev teknologin och har tagit fram en del lösningar på denna typ av vinterproblematik för sina system. De leder bland annat sina tåg genom tunnlar eller höjer upp dem på viadukter för att undvika snöansamlingar. För de delar av spåret där tågen måste åka utomhus används vindskydd mot snö och vind, samt vattenspridare med varmt vatten för att smälta den snö som ändå lyckas ackumuleras.

In both my English and IsiXhosa poetry, my themes are love, politics, and the social issues of rural communities, and include my own life experiences, both good and bad. My poems are mainly short narrative accounts of township life. Although they do have a broad educational purpose, they do not preach to the reader. In IsiXhosa, my poetic forms are influenced by the works of J J R Jolobe, W N Mbovane, P T Mtuze, and my English poems by Pablo Neruda, Mafika Pascal Gwala, Garcia Lorca and others.Intliziyo yona izimele gxebe ifihlakele Iyimfihlo, kumagumbi omphefumlo.
