From vagueness to precision: raising the volume on social issues for the water sector
(IWA Publishing, 2013)The paper raises the volume on complex social issues that affect water management. The paper proposes Amartya Sen's capability approach (CA) as a suitable framework against which to consider these complex ideals. This ... -
From ‘to die a tribe and be born a nation’ towards ‘culture, the foundation of a nation’: the shifting politics and aesthetics of Namibian nationalism
(Otjivanda Presse, 2015)Namibia’s postcolonial nationalist imaginary is by no means homogeneous. Overall, however, it is conspicuous that as Namibia celebrates her twenty-fifth anniversary of independence, national identity is no longer defined ... -
From ‘willing seller, willing buyer’ to a people-driven land reform
(Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies, University of the Western Cape, 2005)The concept of ‘willing seller, willing buyer’ has dominated the discourse on land reform in South Africa since 1994. Now, following the national Land Summit of July 2005, it appears that government is willing to abandon ... -
Frontline health workers as brokers: provider perceptions, experiences and mitigating strategies to improve access to essential medicines in South Africa
(Springer Nature, 2014)Background: Front-line health providers have a unique role as brokers (patient advocates) between the health system and patients in ensuring access to medicines (ATM). ATM is a fundamental component of health systems. This ... -
FTIR, dissolution and anti-viral activity of nevirapine co-crystals
(OMICS International, 2017)The study uses Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to identify five Nevirapine (NV) co-crystals, determines the dissolution profile of the co-crystals and the antiviral activity comparative to pure NV. Hot ... -
Fuel cell-battery hybrid powered light electric vehicle (golf cart): Influence of fuel cell on the driving performance
(Elsevier, 2013)A light electric vehicle (golf cart, 5 kW nominal motor power) was integrated with a commercial 1.2 kW PEM fuel cell system, and fuelled by compressed hydrogen (two composite cylinders, 6.8 L/300 bar each). Comparative ... -
The fuel of unparalleled recovery: Monetary policy in South Africa between 1925 and 1936
(Routledge, 2021)The newly established South African Reserve Bank (SARB) was tasked to protect the currency by navigating the interwar gold standard, and, from March 1933, maintaining parity with the Pound Sterling. We find that South ... -
A full treatment of peculiar velocities on the reionization light cone
(Oxford Academic, 2019)Accurate simulations of the 21-cm signal from the Epoch of Reionization require the generation of maps at specific frequencies given the values of astrophysical and cosmological parameters. The peculiar velocities of the ... -
Full-sky bispectrum in redshift space for 21cm intensity maps
(IOP Publishing, 2020)We compute the tree-level bispectrum of 21cm intensity mapping after reionisation. We work in directly observable angular and redshift space, focusing on equal-redshift correlations and thin redshift bins, for which the ... -
A fumonisins immunosensor based on polyanilino-carbon nanotubes doped with palladium telluride quantum dots
(MDPI, 2015)An impedimetric immunosensor for fumonisins was developed based on poly(2,5-dimethoxyaniline)-multi-wall carbon nanotubes doped with palladium telluride quantum dots onto a glassy carbon surface. The composite was assembled ... -
Functional and structural analysis of predicted proteins obtained from homo sapiens' minisatellite 33.15-tagged transcript pAKT-45 variants
(Hindawi, 2020)The spermatozoa are transcriptionally dormant entities which have been recognized to be an archive of mRNA, coding for a variety of functionally crucial cellular proteins. This significant repository of mRNA is predicted ... -
Functional landscape of SARS-CoV-2 cellular restriction
(Cell Press, 2021)A deficient interferon (IFN) response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been implicated as a determinant of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). To identify the molecular ... -
Functional metal oxides synthesized using natural extracts from waste maize materials
(Elsevier, 2021)We show in this article the possibilities of employing an environmentally friendly, uncomplicated, economical and sustainable green synthesis technique effected by natural extracts from waste maize (zea mays lea) materials to ... -
Functional outcomes of stroke patients admitted to a tertiary hospital in the Western Cape, South Africa
(AOSIS Publishing, 2013)Individuals with stroke often experience functional limitations such as the inability to walk independently. There are several factors that are associated with functional outcome post stroke. The aim of the study was ... -
Functional prediction of candidate micrornas for CRC management using in silico approach
(MDPI, 2019)Approximately 30–50% of malignant growths can be prevented by avoiding risk factors and implementing evidence-based strategies. Colorectal cancer (CRC) accounted for the second most common cancer and the third most common ... -
The functioning of ward committees: Challenges and prospects
(Dullah Omar Institute, 2007)Ward committees were formally introduced in 2000, and many municipalities soon commenced the process of establishing them. The establishment rate of ward committees across the country now stands at over 90% and is growing, ... -
