Heydrichia cerasina sp. nov. (Sporolithales, Corallinophycidae, Rhodophyta) from the southernmost tip of Africa. Phycologia, 51(1): 11- 21
(International Phycological Society, 2012)
A new species of Heydrichia (Sporolithales), H. cerasina sp. nov., is described, found only on pebbles in the low intertidal zone along a 10 km stretch of the South African south coast from Cape Agulhas to Struisbaai. The ...
Correlates of antenatal and postnatal care among tribal women in India
(Kamla-Raj Enterprises, 2012)
It is well established that those women who undergo full antenatal care check-up and give birth in a medical
institution or whose delivery is attended by trained paramedical persons promotes child survival and reduces ...
The Microbial Aetiology of Periodontal Diseases
(InTech, 2012)
Introduction: The study of the aetiology of periodontal diseases has continued for decades with much
progress shown in the last two decades. Having moved through periods of “whole” plaque
(with emphasis on mass) being ...
Antinociceptive and anti-Inflammatory activities of leaf methanol extract of cotyledon orbiculata L. (Crassulaceae)
(Hindawi, 2012)
Leaf methanol extract of C. orbiculata L. was investigated for antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities using acetic acid
writhing and hot-plate tests and carrageenan-induced oedema test in mice and rats, respectively. ...
Optimal strategy for controlling the spread of HIV/AIDS disease: A case study of South Africa
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2012)
HIV/AIDS disease continues to spread alarmingly despite the huge amounts of resources invested infighting it. There is a need to integrate the series of control measures available to ensure a consistentreduction ...
Modeling the dynamics of an epidemic under vaccination in two interacting populations
(Hindawi, 2012)
Mathematical modeling of the numerical evolution of infectious diseases has become an
important tool for disease control and eradication when possible. Much work has been done
on the problem of how a given population is ...
On multiple classes of gamma-ray bursts, as deduced from autocorrelation functions or bivariate duration/hardness ratio distributions
(Oxford University Press, 2012)
Autocorrelation functions (ACFs) of 119 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) monitored by the Burst
Alert Telescope (BAT) on Swift are calculated. Contrasting with previous results for smaller
numbers of bursts from other missions, ...
Disentangling non-gaussianity, bias, and general relativistic effects in the galaxy distribution
(American Physical Society, 2012)
Local non-Gaussianity, parametrized by
f
NL
, introduces a scale-dependent bias that is strongest at large scales, precisely where general relativistic (GR) effects also become significant. With future data, it should ...
Development of a compendium of local, wild-harvested species used in the informal economy trade, Cape Town, South Africa
(Resilience Alliance, 2012)
Wild harvesting has taken place over millennia in Africa. However urbanization and cash economies have
effectively altered harvesting from being cultural, traditional, and subsistence activities that are part of a rural ...
Reconstruction of dark energy and expansion dynamics using Gaussian processes
(IOP Publishing, 2012)
An important issue in cosmology is reconstructing the effective dark energy equation
of state directly from observations. With few physically motivated models, future dark
energy studies cannot only be based on constraining ...
