CASA in invertebrates
(CSIRO Publishing, 2018)
Sperm movement has been described in several phyla of invertebrates. Yet, sperm motility has only been
quantified using computer-aided sperm analysis (CASA-Mot) in externally fertilising species (broadcast spawners) of ...
Modelling the effect of bednet coverage on malaria transmission in South Sudan
(Public Library of Science, 2018)
A campaign for malaria control, using Long Lasting Insecticide Nets (LLINs) was launched
in South Sudan in 2009. The success of such a campaign often depends upon adequate available
resources and reliable surveillance ...

(BMJ Publishing Group, 2018)
OBJECTIVES: To determine the incidence and nature of
injuries in the Super Rugby tournament over a 5-year
period.
METHODS: 482 male professional rugby union players

Novel phages of healthy skin metaviromes from South Africa
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)
Recent skin metagenomic studies have investigated the harbored viral diversity and its possible
influence on healthy skin microbial populations, and tried to establish global patterns of skin-phage
evolution. However, ...
Factors influencing pigment production by halophilic bacteria and its effect on brine evaporation rates
(Wiley, 2018)
The disposal of reject brine, a highly concentrated
waste by-product generated by various industrial
processes, represents a major economic and environmental
challenge. The common practice in dealing
with the large ...
Microstructurally-based constitutive modelling of the skin – Linking intrinsic ageing to microstructural parameters
(Elsevier, 2018)
A multiphasic constitutive model of the skin that implicitly accounts for the process of intrinsic (i.e. chronological) ageing via variation of the constitutive parameters is proposed. The structurally-motivated constitutive ...
Cross-species multiple environmental stress responses: An integrated approach to identify candidate genes for multiple stress tolerance in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) and related model species
(Public Library of Science, 2018)
BACKGROUND
Crop response to the changing climate and unpredictable effects of global warming with
adverse conditions such as drought stress has brought concerns about food security to the
fore; crop yield loss is a major ...
Carbonic anhydrase II based biosensing of carbon dioxide at high temperature: an analytical and MD simulation study
(OMICS International, 2018)
Concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere has increased significantly due to anthropogenic
activities and attributed as a major factor to global warming. Its detection by biosensing methods will provide ...
Pulsations and eclipse-time analysis of HWVir
(Oxford University Press, 2018)
We analysed recent K2 data of the short-period eclipsing binary systemHWVir,which consists
of a hot subdwarf-B type primary with an M-dwarf companion.We determined the mid-times
of eclipses, calculated O–C diagrams, and ...
