The Coronavirus Nucleocapsid is a Multifunctional Protein
(MDPI, 2014)
The coronavirus nucleocapsid (N) is a structural protein that forms complexes with genomic RNA, interacts with the viral membrane protein during virion assembly and plays a critical role in enhancing the efficiency of virus ...
A synthesis of past, current and future research for protection and management of papyrus (Cyperus papyrus L.) wetlands in Africa
(Springer Verlag, 2014)
Papyrus wetlands (dominated by the giant
sedge Cyperus papyrus L.) occur throughout eastern,
central and southern Africa and are important for
biodiversity, for water quality and quantity regulation
and for the livelihoods ...
Odorant and gustatory receptors in the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans morsitans
(PLOS, 2014)
Tsetse flies use olfactory and gustatory responses, through odorant and gustatory receptors (ORs and GRs), to interact with their environment. Glossina morsitans morsitans genome ORs and GRs were annotated using homologs ...
Human African trypanosomiasis research gets booost: unravelling the tsetse Genome
(PLOS, 2014)
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), also known as sleeping sickness, is a neglected disease that impacts 70 million people distributed over 1.55 million km2 in sub-Saharan Africa. Trypanosoma brucei gambiense accounts for ...
International Glossina Genome Initiative 2004-2014: a driver for post-genomic era research on the African continent
(PLOS, 2014)
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), also known as sleeping sickness, is a neglected disease that impacts 70 million people distributed over 1.55 million km2 in sub- Saharan Africa and includes at least 50% of the population ...
Genome sequence of the tsetse fly (glossina morsitans): vector of African trypanosomiasis
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2014)
Tsetse flies are the sole vectors of human African trypanosomiasis throughout sub-Saharan Africa.
Both sexes of adult tsetse feed exclusively on blood and contribute to disease transmission. Notable
differences between ...
Actuation behaviour of a derivatized pyrrole accordion type polymer
(ESG, 2014)
A monomer (Phenazine-2,3-diimino(pyrrole-2-yl)–PDP) derived from the condensation reaction between 2,3-diaminophenazine and a pyrrole derivative has been synthesized as a hinge molecule in the design of a zig-zag polymer. ...
A review of combined advanced oxidation technologies for the removal of organic pollutants from water
(Springer Verlag, 2014)
Water pollution through natural and anthropogenic activities has become a global problem causing short-and long-term impact on human and ecosystems. Substantial quantity of individual or mixtures of organic pollutants enter ...
A robust spectral method for solving Heston’s model
(Springer Verlag, 2014)
In this paper, we consider the Heston’s volatility model (Heston in Rev.
Financ. Stud. 6: 327–343, 1993]. We simulate this model using a combination of the
spectral collocation method and the Laplace transforms method. ...
Co-designing a billing system for voice services in rural South Africa: Lessons learned
(ACM, 2014)
Access to information and communication technologies re- mains una ordable for many in rural areas despite recent progress in providing voice services to remote communities. The sustainability of alternative technical ...
