Environmental responses of jellyfish polyps as drivers of medusa populations off the coast of Namibia
(National Inquiry Services Centre, 2018)
Jellyfish populations in the southeastern Atlantic off the coast of Namibia have increased subsequent to the decline of small pelagic fisheries at the end of the 1960s, although the environment there has also become warmer ...
Synthesis and characterization of carbon doped TiO2 photocatalysts supported on stainless steel mesh by sol-gel method
(Korean Carbon Society, 2017)
This study synthesized pure anatase carbon doped TiO2 photocatalysts supported on a stainless
steel mesh using a sol-gel solution of 8% polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/dimethylformamide
(DMF)/TiCl4. The influence of the pyrolysis ...
Antioxidant and apoptosis-inhibition potential of Carpobrotus edulis in a model of parkinson’s disease
(African Association of Physiological Sciences, 2018)
Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurological disorder resulting from the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons. There is currently no known cure for PD, thus the search for complementary and alternative medicines ...
Hitting the right target: taxonomic challenges for, and of, plant invasions
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
This paper explores how a lack of taxonomic expertise, and by implication a dearth of taxonomic products
such as identification tools, has hindered progress in understanding andmanaging biological invasions. It also ...
The Pongola Floodplain, South Africa – Part 2: Holistic environmental flows assessment
(Water Research Commission, 2018)
A holistic environmental flows (EFlows) assessment, undertaken as part of Ecological Reserve determination studies for selected
surface water, groundwater, estuaries and wetlands in the Usuthu/Mhlatuze Water Management ...
Identifying global priorities for the conservation of vipers
(Elsevier, 2016)
Vipers are among the most misunderstood and persecuted animals. They occupy most terrestrial ecosystems around the world, often at high population densities. However, certain aspects of their biology (e.g., low fecundity ...
London Measure of Unplanned Pregnancy for South African women with mental illness: Exploring perspectives on pregnancy
(AOSIS, 2018)
INTRODUCTION: Unplanned pregnancy is a community health concern. Research with South African
women revealed the complexities surrounding pregnancy planning. Categorising pregnancies
as either planned or unplanned is ...
Hermes: Cosmic infrared background anisotropies and the clustering of dusty star-forming galaxies
(American Astronomical Society, 2013)
Star formation is well traced by dust, which absorbs the
UV/optical light produced by young stars in actively starforming
regions and re-emits the energy in the far-infrared/
submillimeter (FIR/submm; e.g., Savage & ...
Determination of seminal oxidation–reduction potential (ORP) as an easy and cost-effective clinical marker of male infertility
(Wiley, 2017)
Oxidative stress (OS) is an important contributing factor to male infertility. While previous methods to measure seminal OS are time-consuming and limited to the use of freshly produced semen, oxidation reduction potential ...
Association between promoter methylation of MLH1 and MSH2 and reactive oxygen species in oligozoospermic men—A pilot study
(Wiley, 2017)
MLH1 and MSH2 are important genes for DNA mismatch repair and crossing over during
meiosis and are implicated in male infertility. Therefore, the methylation patterns
of the DNA mismatch repair genes MLH1 and MSH2 in ...
