High-precision estimation of emitter positions using Bayesian grouping of localizations

Single-molecule localization microscopy super-resolution methods rely on stochastic blinking/binding events, which often occur multiple times from each emitter over the course of data acquisition. Typically, the blinking/binding events from each emitter are treated as independent events, without an attempt to assign them to a particular...

The question of inclusion and representation in rural South Africa: Challenging the concept of water user associations as a vehicle for transformation

The promotion of local governance and the transfer of water management responsibilities to Water User Associations (WUAs) have been central in water reform processes throughout the world, including in the reforms that took place in post-apartheid South Africa. This paper reflects on the notions of inclusion and representation as put forward by...

On-site Testing and PD Diagnosis of High Voltage Power Cables

In addition to after-laying of new-installed high voltage (HV) power cables the use of on-site non-destructive on-site testing and diagnosis of service aged power cables is becoming an important issue to determine the actual condition of the cable systems and to determine the future performances. In this paper based on field experience an...

PD knowledge rules for insulation condition assessment of distribution power cables

Condition assessment of power cables using partial discharge diagnosis at damped AC voltages

The thesis focuses on the condition assessment of the distribution power cables, which have a very critical part in the distribution of electrical power over regional distances. The majority of the outages in the power system is related to the distribution cables, of which for more than 60% to internal defects. The material degradation in the...
