Clustering of HI galaxies in the HI parkes all sky survey and arecibo legacy fast alfa survey
(Oxford University Press, 2011)
We investigate the clustering of H I-selected galaxies in the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA
Survey (ALFALFA) and compare results with those obtained for the H I Parkes All Sky
Survey (HIPASS). Measurements of the angular ...
RAMICS: Trainable, high-speed and biologically relevant alignment of high-throughput sequencing reads to coding DNA
(Oxford University Press, 2014)
The challenge presented by high-throughput sequencing necessitates the development of novel
tools for accurate alignment of reads to reference sequences. Current approaches focus on using heuristics to map reads quickly ...
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, ...
Influence of termites on the soil seed bank in an African savannah
(Wiley, 2018)
In savannah ecosystems, termites drive key ecosystem processes, such as primary
production through creation of patchiness in soil nutrients availability around their
nests. In this study, we evaluated the role of termites ...
Computational characterization of iron metabolism in the tsetse disease vector, glossina morsitans: Ire stem-loops
(BMC, 2016)
Iron metabolism and regulation is an indispensable part of species survival, most importantly for
blood feeding insects. Iron regulatory proteins are central regulators of iron homeostasis, whose binding to iron
response ...
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 ...
A simple, high-throughput modeling approach reveals insights into the mechanism of gametophytic self-incompatibility
(Nature Research, 2016)
Specificity in the GSI response results from the S-haplotype-specific molecular interaction of S-locus
F-box (SLF/SFB) and SRNase proteins in the self-incompatibility locus (S-locus). The answer to the
question of how ...
On the time delay between ultra-relativistic particles
(Elsevier, 2016)
The time delay between the receptions of ultra-relativistic particles emitted simultaneously is a useful observable for both fundamental physics and cosmology. The expression of the delay when the particles travel through ...
Will a rising sea sink some estuarine wetland ecosystems?
(Elsevier, 2016)
Sea-level rise associated with climate change presents a major challenge to plant diversity and ecosystem service
provision in coastal wetlands. In this study, we investigate the effect of sea-level rise on benthos, ...
A conceptual model for the development and management of the Cape Flats aquifer, South Africa
(Water Research Commission, 2010)
This paper provides an integrated approach to the analysis of the geological, hydrological and hydrogeological characteristics
of the Cape Flats: a coastal plain sand formed within the mountains of the Cape Town metropolitan ...
