Multicolour time series photometry of the variable star 1SWASP J234401.81−212229.1
(Oxford University Press, 2014)
1SWASP J234401.81-212229.1 may be one of a handful of contact binaries comprising two
Mdwarfs. Modelling of the available observations is complicated by the fact that the radiation
of the eclipsing system is dominated ...
Testing foundations of modern cosmology with SKA all-sky surveys
(Proceedings of Science, 2014)
Continuum and HI surveys with the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will allow us to probe some of
the most fundamental assumptions of modern cosmology, including the Cosmological Principle.
SKA all-sky surveys will map an ...
Measuring redshift-space distortion with future SKA surveys
(Proceedings of Science, 2014)
The peculiar motion of galaxies can be a particularly sensitive probe of gravitational collapse. As
such, it can be used to measure the dynamics of dark matter and dark energy as well the nature
of the gravitational laws ...
Model-independent constraints on dark energy and modified gravity with the SKA
(Proceedings of Science, 2014)
Employing a nonparametric approach of the principal component analysis (PCA), we forecast
the future constraint on the equation of state w(z) of dark energy, and on the effective Newton
constant m(k; z), which parameterise ...
Effect of Cissampelos capensis rhizome extract on human spermatozoa in vitro
(Wiley, 2014)
Cissampelos capensis is commonly known by the Afrikaans name ‘dawidjies’ or ‘dawidjieswortel’. C. capensis is the most important and best-known medicinal plant of the family Menispermaceae used by the Khoisan and other ...
Taste and odorant receptors of the coelecanth- a gene repertoire in transition
(Wiley, 2014)
G-protein coupled chemosensory receptors (GPCR-CRs) aid in the perception of odors and tastes in vertebrates. So far, six GPCR-CR families have been identified that are conserved in most vertebrate species. Phylogenetic ...
Cosmology with a SKA HI intensity mapping survey
(Proceedings of Science, 2014)
HI intensity mapping (IM) is a novel technique capable of mapping the large-scale structure of
the Universe in three dimensions and delivering exquisite constraints on cosmology, by using HI
as a biased tracer of the ...
Cosmology on the largest scales with the SKA
(Proceedings of Science, 2014)
The study of the Universe on ultra-large scales is one of the major science cases for the Square
Kilometre Array (SKA). The SKA will be able to probe a vast volume of the cosmos, thus representing
a unique instrument, ...
Cosmology from HI galaxy surveys with the SKA
(Proceedings of Science, 2014)
The Square Kilometer Array (SKA) has the potential to produce galaxy redshift surveys which
will be competitive with other state of the art cosmological experiments in the next decade. In this
chapter we summarise what ...
Evolution and structural analysis of Glossina morsitans (Diptera; Glossinidae) Tetraspanins
(MDPI, Basel, Switzerland, 2014)
Tetraspanins are important conserved integral membrane proteins expressed in
many organisms. Although there is limited knowledge about the full repertoire, evolution and structural characteristics of individual members ...
