Development of molecular tools for honeybee virus research: the South African contribution
(Academic Journals, 2003)
Increasing knowledge of the association of honeybee viruses with other honeybee parasites, primarily
the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor, and their implication in the mass mortality of honeybee
colonies has resulted ...
Ethics and mono-disciplinarity: positivism, informed consent and informed participation
(Elsevier, 2005)
There are a number of pressures on researchers in academia and industry to behave unethically or compromise their ethical standards, for instance in order to obtain funding or publish frequently. In this paper a case study ...
An electrochemical DNA biosensor developed on a nanocomposite platform of gold and poly(propyleneimine) dendrimer
(MDPI, 2008)
An electrochemical DNA nanobiosensor was prepared by immobilization of a
20mer thiolated probe DNA on electro-deposited generation 4 (G4) poly(propyleneimine)
dendrimer (PPI) doped with gold nanoparticles (AuNP) as ...
Polyester sulphonic acid interstitial nanocomposite platform for peroxide biosensor
(MDPI, 2009)
A novel enzyme immobilization platform was prepared on a platinum disk
working electrode by polymerizing aniline inside the interstitial pores of polyester sulphonic
acid sodium salt (PESA). Scanning electron microscopy ...
Electrochemical immunosensor based on polythionine/gold nanoparticles for the determination of Aflatoxin B1
(MDPI, 2008)
An aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) electrochemical immunosensor was developed by the
immobilisation of aflatoxin B1-bovine serum albumin (AFB1-BSA) conjugate on a
polythionine (PTH)/gold nanoparticles (AuNP)-modified glassy carbon ...
Reliable communication across ad hoc networks
(Telkom, 2008)
This paper presents a fully decentralised peer-topeer voice communication tool intended for use across mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) by distributed groups who desired collaboration. We examined the synergy between MANETs ...
Policy-based network management of legacy equipment in Next Generation Networks
(Telkom, 2001)
Next Generation Networks use policy-based network management and QoS protocols to provide voice services on IP networks. Large numbers of older equipment still push IP packets. We present several solutions that include ...
The effects of long-term exclusion of the limpet Cymbula oculus (Born) on the distribution of intertidal organisms on a rocky shore
(NISC (Pty) Ltd and Taylor & Francis, 2009)
Zonation patterns on rocky shores are typically as a result of both physical factors
and biological interactions. Physical factors generally set the upper limits of species
distributions, while biological interactions ...
A hydrogeomorphological approach to quantification of groundwater discharge to streams in South Africa
(Water Research Commission, 2002)
In South Africa, the flow requirements for maintaining the normal functioning of aquatic ecosystems is termed the “ecological
reserve”, and these should be determined when a licence application for water allocation is ...
Comparative analysis of human coronavirus-NL63 ORF3 protein homologues
(Academic Journals, 2009)
It has been reported in some studies that the newly discovered human coronavirus NL-63 (HCoVNL63)
is one of the most common coronaviruses associated with acute respiratory infections. HCoVNL63
was first isolated in 2004 ...
