Security of a Mesh Potato Network in Ad Hoc Mode
(Telkom, 2013)
Wireless Mesh Networks can provide low cost and reliable community-owned connectivity in developing rural areas. A rural community can use mesh networks to access a wide range of modern information and communication ...
A Panel of Ancestry Informative Markers for the Complex Five-Way Admixed South African Coloured Population
(PloS, 2013)
Admixture is a well known confounder in genetic association studies. If genome-wide data is not available, as would be the case for candidate gene studies, ancestry informative markers (AIMs) are required in order to adjust ...
Involvement of gamma aminobutyric acid in the anticonvulsant effect of the leaf methanol extract of Ruta graveolens L. (Rutaceae) in mice
(Asian Network for Scientific Information, 2013)
The possible involvement of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), in the anticonvulsant effect of Ruta graveolens L. was investigated by studying the effect of the leaf methanol extract against seizures elicited by either ...
Epidemiological analysis of spatially misaligned data: a case of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus outbreak in Nigeria
(Cambridge University Press, 2013)
This research is focused on the epidemiological analysis of the transmission of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus outbreak in Nigeria. The data included 145 outbreaks together with the locations of ...
Selenium functionalized carbon for high dispersion of platinumeruthenium nanoparticles and its effect on the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol
(Elsevier, 2013)
Using selenium functionalized carbon as supports, platinumeruthenium nanoparticles were highly dispersed on the carbon surface, and showed improved electrochemical properties for methanol electrooxidation. The method ...
The ongoing pursuit of R Coronae Borealis stars: the ASAS-3 survey strikes again
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
CONTEXT: R Coronae Borealis stars( RCBs) are rare, hydrogen-deficient, carbon rich super giant variable stars that are likely the evolved merger products of pairs of CO and He white dwarfs. Only 55 RCB stars have been found ...
Properties of Type Ia supernovae inside rich galaxy clusters
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
We used the Gaussian Mixture Brightest Cluster Galaxy catalogue and Sloan Digital Sky
Survey-II supernovae data with redshifts measured by the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic
Survey to identify 48 Type Ia supernovae ...
Beyond traditional ethics when developing assistive technology for and with deaf people in developing regions
(Springer, 2015)
There are limitations to traditional ethical approaches and procedures when engaged in assistive technology (AT) research for Deaf people in a developing region. Non-traditional issues arise as a consequence of employing ...
Communicating in designing an oral repository for rural African villages
(IIMC International Information Management Corporation, 2012)
We describe designing an asynchronous, oral repository and sharing system that we intend to suit the needs and practices of rural residents in South Africa. We aim to enable users without access to personal computers to ...
Towards a scalability model for wireless mesh networks
(Telkom, 2015)
Zenzeleni mesh network is a wireless ad-hoc mesh network that provides voice services using public analogue telephones to the Mankosi community in the Eastern Cape
Province. We would like to improve on the network ...
