Simultaneous brewery wastewater treatment and hydrogen generation via hydrolysis using Mg waste scraps
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2020)
An advanced, eco-efficient “waste plus waste to hydrogen” method was developed for hydrogen generation and the simultaneous treatment of two types of waste generated from magnesium and brewerybased industries via hydrolysis. ...
Thermal desorption spectroscopy studies of hydrogen desorption from rare earth metal trihydrides REH3 (RE¼Dy, Ho, Er)
(Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 2020)
Rare earth (RE) metals form two stoichiometric hydrides, REH2 and REH3, and for the yttrium group of RE transformation of a FCC (REH2) into an HCP (REH3) lattice takes place during the second step of hydrogenation REH2 þ ...
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 ...
Improved bi-functional oxygen electrocatalytic performance of PteIr alloy nanoparticles embedded on MWCNT with Pt-enriched surfaces
(Energy, 2020)
Multi-walled carbon nanotube supported PteIr nanoparticles (PteIr/MWCNT) with different elemental ratios were synthesized by one-pot co-reduction approach under ambient conditions. The PteIr catalysts exhibit improved ...
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 & ...
A review on crucibles for induction melting of titanium alloys
(Elsevier, 2020)
This review highlights the state of art progress in crucible designs which have been identified as showing potential for induction melting three groups of titanium alloys based on the systems; Ti–Al, Ti–Ni, as well as ...
