Low- And medium-spin negative-parity bands in the Os 187 nucleus
(American Physical Society, 2021)Low- and medium-spin negative-parity bands of Os187 have been studied using the AFRican Omnipurpose Detector for Innovative Techniques and Experiments (AFRODITE) array, following the W186(He4,3n)Os187 reaction at a beam ... -
Low-Cost feedstock conversion to biodiesel via ultrasound technology
(MDPI, 2009)Biodiesel has attracted increasing interest and has proved to be a good substitute for fossil-based fuels due to its environmental advantages and availability from renewable resources such as refined and waste vegetable ... -
A low-cost flow cytometric assay for the detection and quantification of apoptosis using an anionic halogenated fluorescein dye
(Future Science Group, 2008)We describe here a technical improvement of an established colorimetric method used to detect and measure the occurrence of apoptosis in mammalian cells during in vitro cell culture. This assay uses an anionic halogenated ... -
Low-operational temperature for selective detection of xylene gas using a p-n CuO-ZnO heterostructure-based sensor
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023)Xylene is not just considered detrimental to the environment but also hazardous to humans. Herein we report on xylene vapour detection using CuO-ZnO heterostructures containing various concentrations (0.1–2.0 wt%) of Zn, ... -
The low-redshift circumgalactic medium in SIMBA
(Oxford University Press, 2021-08)We examine the properties of the low-redshift circumgalactic medium (CGM) around star-forming and quenched galaxies in the SIMBA cosmological hydrodynamic simulations, focusing on comparing H I and metal line absorption ... -
The LPYL in context: changing minds about school libraries in South Africa
(Bibliotek I Samhalle (BIS), 2002)It is an honour to write a foreword for the Bibliotek I Samehälle's book on the Library Practice for Young Learners project (LPYL) - and also a challenge. The "honour" is due to the significance of the LPYL project, which ... -
Lusaka’s local food geographies: A gendered reading of everyday food insecurity in Mtendere, Lusaka
(Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies, University of the Western Cape, 2016-08)Little is known about how individual abilities and food security determinants - at the scale of everyday life - connect to formal and informal value chains, and broader urban structural systems in which daily processes ... -
Lyman α absorption beyond the disc of simulated spiral galaxies
(Oxford University Press, 2020)We present an analysis of the origin and properties of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) in a suite of 11 cosmological zoom simulations resembling present-day spiral galaxies. On average the galaxies retain about 50 per cent ... -
MACRODONTIA: A brief overview and a case report of KBG syndrome
(Elsevier, 2021)Macrodontia is a dental condition where a tooth or group of teeth are abnormally larger than average. Functional and aesthetic discrepancies may arise in affected individuals resulting in lowering the quality of life. It ... -
Macroeconomic determinants of commercial banks’ liquidity in Namibia
(Progressive Academic Publishing, 2016)Searching for new ways remains a primary concern among scholars. In this paper the macroeconomic determinants of commercial banks’ liquidity in Namibia were considered and analysed. The unit root, bound test for cointegration ... -
Macroeconomic immigration determinants: An analysis of ‘pull’ factors of international migration to South Africa
(SIHMA, 2015)This research empirically examines the macroeconomic determinants of ‘pull’ factors of international migration in South Africa. Using the neoclassical economic model of international migration, an Ordinary Least Square ... -
The macrophage response to mycobacterium tuberculosis and opportunities for autophagy inducing nanomedicines for Tuberculosis therapy
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)The major causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), i.e., Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), has developed mechanisms to evade host defense responses and persist within host cells for prolonged periods of time. Mtb is also ... -
