Thermal Analysis of the Detector in the Radiation Budget Instrument (RBI)
… use telescopes embarked on low-earth-orbit satellites to measure Earth emitted and reflected solar radiation. Radiation is sensed as temperature changes caused by radiation absorbed during scans of the earth on a delicate gold-black coated detector. This work is part of a larger effort …

Rethinking enclave development in view of the African mining vision (AMV): lessons for the social and labour plan system
… of pursuing a Resource-based Industrialisation (‘RBI’) strategy because government is yet to maximise its implementation? Alternatively, are the critiques levelled against the AMV’s RBI strategy valid, hence its inability to speak to the South African SLP System? The critiques levelled against an …

Development of an approach to incorporate proportional hazard modelling into a risk-based inspection methodology for an optimal inspection policy
… monitoring, into the risk-based inspection (RBI) methodology so that the PoF estimation can be enhanced to optimize inspection policies. To achieve the overall goal of this work, case studies applying the PHM to determine the PoF for real-time condition data components, are discussed. Also, …

Agro-Commodity Global Value Chains and Upgrading: The Case of Malaysian Palm Oil
… show that resource-based industrialisation (RBI) requires selective state intervention targeting macroeconomic conditions, infrastructure, business climate, and human capital. The Malaysian experience also highlights the importance of local firms in driving RBI investments, contrary to the …

Experimental determination of the mixing requirements for solid suspension in pharmaceutical stirred tank reactors
… of fabrication issues, a retreat blade impeller (RBI) with a low impeller clearance off the tank bottom is commonly used in glass-lined reactors, typically combined with a single baffle (providing only partial baffling conditions) mounted from the top of the reactor. In addition, these reactors …

A consumer-based brand equity approach to detect perceived incongruity and its impact upon consumer perceptions
… the empirical model were Retailer Brand Image (RBI), Product Brand Image (PBI), (in)congruity, perceived value (PV), CBBE (Overall Brand Equity; OBE) and purchase intent (PI). Overall, the study was able to validate the proposed model, particularly in its focal incongruity condition (national …

Amateur baseball players: what are the relative merits of attending college versus going directly to the minor leagues?
… measures: batting average (AVG) runs batted in (RBI), on base percentage (OBP), slugging (SLG), and on base + slugging (OPS). The results also demonstrated that a few offensive performance measures significantly affected career length in the major leagues, while other factors (age, education, …

Ecologically-focused calibration of hydrological models for environmental flow applications
… criteria: NSE, Richards-Baker Flashiness Index (RBI), percent of time when the flow is < 28 L/s (< 1 cfs), and a Combined Calibration (RBI and < 1 cfs), respectively. Ecologically-focused criteria were selected based on preliminary statistical flow-ecology relationships at gaged bioassessment …
