Hitting the right target: taxonomic challenges for, and of, plant invasions
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
This paper explores how a lack of taxonomic expertise, and by implication a dearth of taxonomic products
such as identification tools, has hindered progress in understanding andmanaging biological invasions. It also ...
Identifying global priorities for the conservation of vipers
(Elsevier, 2016)
Vipers are among the most misunderstood and persecuted animals. They occupy most terrestrial ecosystems around the world, often at high population densities. However, certain aspects of their biology (e.g., low fecundity ...
Hermes: Cosmic infrared background anisotropies and the clustering of dusty star-forming galaxies
(American Astronomical Society, 2013)
Star formation is well traced by dust, which absorbs the
UV/optical light produced by young stars in actively starforming
regions and re-emits the energy in the far-infrared/
submillimeter (FIR/submm; e.g., Savage & ...
Determination of seminal oxidation–reduction potential (ORP) as an easy and cost-effective clinical marker of male infertility
(Wiley, 2017)
Oxidative stress (OS) is an important contributing factor to male infertility. While previous methods to measure seminal OS are time-consuming and limited to the use of freshly produced semen, oxidation reduction potential ...
Association between promoter methylation of MLH1 and MSH2 and reactive oxygen species in oligozoospermic men—A pilot study
(Wiley, 2017)
MLH1 and MSH2 are important genes for DNA mismatch repair and crossing over during
meiosis and are implicated in male infertility. Therefore, the methylation patterns
of the DNA mismatch repair genes MLH1 and MSH2 in ...
nIFTy galaxy cluster simulations – V. Investigation of the cluster infall region
(Oxford University Press, 2016)
We examine the properties of the galaxies and dark matter haloes residing in the cluster
infall region surrounding the simulated cold dark matter galaxy cluster studied by Elahi
et al. at z = 0. The 1.1 × 1015 h−1M ...
Desalination and seawater quality at Green Point, Cape Town: A study on the effects of marine sewage outfalls
(Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), 2017)
This paper presents our collection methods, laboratory protocols and findings in respect of sewage pollution
affecting seawater and marine organisms in Table Bay, Cape Town, South Africa, then moves to consider ...
Comparative study: the effect of annealing conditions on the properties of P3HT:PCBM blends
(Springer Verlag, 2013)
This paper presents a detailed study on the role of various annealing treatments on organic poly(3-hexylthiophene) and [6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester blends under different experimental conditions. A combination ...
Two new species of Trachyandra sect. Liriothamnus (Xanthorrhoeaceae, Asphodeloideae) from the Western and Eastern Cape Provinces of South Africa
(2013)
Trachyandra eriocarpa and T. bulbosa are two new species from Northern and Eastern Cape Provinces of South Africa.
They are placed in T. sect. Liriothamnus based on their wiry roots, the cataphylls not forming membranous ...
Diversity of dsDNA viruses in a South African hot spring assessed by metagenomics and microscopy
(MDPI, 2017)
The current view of virus diversity in terrestrial hot springs is limited to a few sampling
sites. To expand our current understanding of hot spring viral community diversity, this study
aimed to investigate the first ...
