Battery and data drain of over-the-top applications on low-end smartphones
(IIMC International Information Management Corporation, 2018)
Low-end smartphones with sub $50 price tags provide affordable device ownership to low-income populations. However, their limited capacity, when combined with the need for multimodal connectivity, raises usage concerns in ...
Atmospheric bromoform at Cape Point, South Africa: an initial fixed-point data set on the African continent
(EGU, 2018)
Bromoform mixing ratios in marine air were measured
at Cape Point Global Atmospheric Watch Station,
South Africa. This represents the first such bromoform data
set recorded at this location. Manual daily measurements
were ...
A "site" for sore eyes
(South African Academy of Family Physicians, 2018)
It is known that not all red eyes are caused by infections. Furthermore, not all eye infections will react to antibiotic eye drops. Most
cases of conjunctivitis are due to viral causes, do not require antibiotic eye drops ...
Geochemistry and weathering history of the Balfour sandstone formation, Karoo basin, South Africa: Insight to provenance and tectonic setting
(Elsevier, 2018)
Geochemical analysis on sandstones from clastic sediments was carried out to understand the tectonic setting and subsequent post-depositional change in the Karoo basinal fill of the fluvial deposits of the Balfour Formation ...
Exome sequencing identifies novel dysferlin mutation in a family with pauci-symptomatic heterozygous carriers
(Springer Nature, 2018)
Background: We investigated a South African family of admixed ancestry in which the first generation (G1) developed
insidious progressive distal to proximal weakness in their twenties, while their offspring (G2) experienced ...
Application of multi‑method approach to assess groundwater–surface water interactions, for catchment management
(Springer, 2018)
Globally, the dependence of river systems to delayed discharge of subsurface water to augment flows during dry seasons is well documented. Discharge of fresh subsurface water can dilute concentrated river flow quality ...
In quest of contact: phylogeography of helmeted terrapins (Pelomedusa galeata, P. subrufa sensu stricto)
(PeerJ, 2018)
Based on rangewide sampling and three mitochondrial and two nuclear markers
(together up to 1,850 bp and 1,840 bp, respectively), we examine the phylogeography
of two helmeted terrapin species (Pelomedusa galeata and P. ...
Pinpointing areas of increased soil erosion risk following land cover change in the Lake Manyara catchment, Tanzania
(Elsevier, 2018)
Lack of long-term scientific land cover and erosional data impedes the development of sustainable land management plans to tackle land degradation and soil erosion problems in Tanzania. Using Landsat imagery, almost three ...
Exome sequencing identifies novel dysferlin mutation in a family with paucisymptomatic heterozygous carriers
(BioMed Central, 2018)
BACKGROUND: We investigated a South African family of admixed ancestry in which the first generation (G1) developed
insidious progressive distal to proximal weakness in their twenties, while their offspring (G2) experienced ...
A stochastic TB model for a crowded environment
(Hindawi, 2018)
We propose a stochastic compartmental model for the population dynamics of tuberculosis. The model is applicable to crowded
environments such as for people in high density camps or in prisons. We start off with a known ...
