Testing for the occurrence of pilchard herpesvirus (PHV) in South African sardine Sardinops sagax
(National Inquiry Services Centre (NISC), 2016)
Catches of South African sardine Sardinops sagax have declined in recent years from about 200 000 t harvested annually during the period 2002–2006 to less than 100 000 t. Consequently, some companies are now importing ...
The production of hydrogen through the use of a 77 wt% Pd 23 wt% Ag membrane water gas shift reactor
(Elsevier, 2016)
Hydrogen as an energy carrier has the potential to decarbonize the energy sector. This
work presents the application of a palladium-silver (PdeAg) membrane-based reactor. The
membrane reactor which is made from PdeAg ...
Peroxide-based route for the synthesis of zinc titanate powder
(Elsevier, 2016)
In this work the thermodynamical solubility diagrams of zinc and titanium hydroxides
were reviewed in order to determine the conditions for maximum degree of phase composition
homogenization of precipitates. Experimental ...
Plastic ingestion by estuarine mullet Mugil cephalus (Mugilidae) in an urban harbour, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
(National Inquiry Services Centre (NISC), 2016)
Coastal urban environments have high plastic pollution levels, and hence interactions between plastic debris and marine life are frequent. We report on plastic ingestion by mullet Mugil cephalus in Durban Harbour, ...
Preparation of iron molybdate catalysts for methanol to formaldehyde oxidation based on ammonium molybdoferrate(II) precursor
(Elsevier, 2016)
It was demonstrated that iron molybdate catalysts for methanol oxidation can be prepared
using Fe(II) as a precursor instead of Fe(III). This would allow for reduction of acidity of
preparation solutions as well as ...
Re-engineering of South Africa’s primary health care system: where is the pharmacist?
(South African Academy of Family Physicians, 2016)
South Africa’s transition towards a district-based health system (DHS) aims to offer health promotion and prevention services
at community level, through re-engineered primary health care (PHC) services. Along with pharmacy ...
A framework for assessing the performance of pulsar search pipelines
(Oxford Unviersity Press, 2016)
In this paper, we present a framework for assessing the effect of non-stationary Gaussian noise and radio frequency interference (RFI) on the signal to noise ratio, the
number of false positives detected per true positive ...
Riverine dominance of a nearshore marine demersal food web: evidence from stable isotope and C/N ratio analysis
(National Inquiry Services Centre (NISC), 2016)
The Thukela Bank, KwaZulu-Natal, supports a diverse ecosystem and South Africa’s only prawn fishery. Oceanographic studies suggest riverine input is not important for the biology of this system, whereas biological studies ...
Exploration of Deaf people’s health information sources and techniques for information delivery in Cape Town: A qualitative study for the design and development of a mobile health application
(JMIR Publications, 2016)
BACKGROUND: Many cultural and linguistic Deaf people in South Africa face disparity when accessing health information because of social and language barriers. The number of certified South African Sign Language interpreters ...
Moving ICTD research beyond bungee jumping: practical case studies and recommendations
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2016)
The global spread of Internet and mobile communications has been accompanied by a growing interest in how information and communication technologies (ICTs) can contribute to social and economic development. There are a ...
