nIFTy galaxy cluster simulations – V. Investigation of the cluster infall region
(Oxford University Press, 2016)
We examine the properties of the galaxies and dark matter haloes residing in the cluster
infall region surrounding the simulated cold dark matter galaxy cluster studied by Elahi
et al. at z = 0. The 1.1 × 1015 h−1M ...
Defining the molecular signatures of Achilles tendinopathy and anterior cruciate ligament ruptures: A whole-exome sequencing approach
(Public Library of Science, 2018)
Musculoskeletal soft tissue injuries are complex phenotypes with genetics being one of
many proposed risk factors. Case-control association studies using the candidate gene
approach have predominately been used to identify ...
Desalination and seawater quality at Green Point, Cape Town: A study on the effects of marine sewage outfalls
(Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), 2017)
This paper presents our collection methods, laboratory protocols and findings in respect of sewage pollution
affecting seawater and marine organisms in Table Bay, Cape Town, South Africa, then moves to consider ...
Clostridium difficile infection perceptions and practices: a multicenter qualitative study in South Africa
(BMC, 2018)
BACKGROUND: Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is understudied in limited resource settings. In addition, provider
awareness of CDI as a prevalent threat is unknown. An assessment of current facilitators and barriers ...
Spectroscopic and voltammetric analysis of platinum group metals in road dust and roadside soil
(MDPI, 2018)
The emission of toxic compounds by increasing anthropogenic activities affects human
health and the environment. Heavy road traffic and mining activities are the major anthropogenic
activities contributing to the presence ...
The westward journey of alfalfa leaf curl virus
(MDPI, 2018)
Alfalfa leaf curl virus (ALCV), which causes severe disease symptoms in alfalfa (Medicago
sativa L.) and is transmitted by the widespread aphid species, Aphis craccivora Koch, has been
found throughout the Mediterranean ...
A two-decade anthropogenic and biogenic isoprene emissions study in a London urban background and a London urban traffic site
(MDPI, 2018)
A relationship between isoprene and 1,3-butadiene mixing ratios was established to
separate the anthropogenic and biogenic fractions of the measured isoprene in London air in both
urban background (Eltham) and urban ...
Compaction of a zirconium metal–organic framework (UiO-66) for high density hydrogen storage applications
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)
We report a rare case whereby a metal–organic framework (MOF), namely UiO-66, is compacted at high
pressure ( 700 MPa or 100 000 psi) resulting in densification and improved total volumetric hydrogen
storage capacity, ...
Comparative study: the effect of annealing conditions on the properties of P3HT:PCBM blends
(Springer Verlag, 2013)
This paper presents a detailed study on the role of various annealing treatments on organic poly(3-hexylthiophene) and [6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester blends under different experimental conditions. A combination ...
Environmental flow assessments are not realizing their potential as an aid to basin planning
(Frontiers Media, 2018)
Multiple planned dams in developing countries, mostly for hydropower, are threatening
some of the world’s great river systems. Concern over their social and environmental
impacts has led to hydropower being excluded from ...
