An assessment of social accountability among South African pharmacy schools from public domain information
(AFAHPER-SD, 2017)
Global health education reform requires training institutions to align their education, service and
research activities with the values of social accountability, which include relevance, equity,
quality and effectiveness. ...
Felicia douglasii (Asteraceae-Astereae), a distinctive new species from the Cape Floristic Region, South Africa
(Elsevier, 2017)
Felicia Cass. (Asteraceae) is the largest of the African members of tribe Astereae, and comprises ±90 species from southern and tropical Africa to Arabia. As currently circumscribed, it is rather weakly diagnosed by the ...
The use of metal hydrides in fuel cell applications
(Elsevier B.V., 2017)
This paper reviews state-of-the-art developments in hydrogen energy systems which integrate fuel cells with metal hydride-based hydrogen storage. The 187 reference papers included in this review provide an overview of all ...
Evolution from 4f-electron antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic order in the CeCu(Ge1-xSnx) alloy series (0≤x≤1)
(American Institute of Physics Inc., 2017)
We report the evolution from ferromagnetic (FM) to antiferromagnetic (AFM) state in CeCu(Ge1-xSnx) investigated by means of magnetic and heat capacity measurements. X-ray diffraction studies for all compositions indicate ...
First record of epizootic ulcerative syndrome from the Upper Congo catchment: an outbreak in the Bangweulu swamps, Zambia
(Wiley, 2017)
We report on the first outbreak of epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS) amongst
wild fish populations in the Bangweulu swamps, an inland delta, in the north of
Zambia during 2014. The area supports a large and diverse ...
Silver/carbon codoped titanium dioxide photocatalyst for improved dye degradation under visible light
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2017)
Herein, we report the synthesis of quartz supported TiO2 photocatalysts codoped with carbon and silver through the hydrolysis of titanium tetrachloride followed by calcination at 500°C. The prepared samples were characterized ...
Amplifying positive deviance with ICT enabling community development and interdependence
(Springer, 2017)
Positive deviance is a social mechanism whereby a beneficial practice that is not considered as normal gets taken up and spread within a community. This enables a community to solve its own problems aided by mentorship and ...
Post-orogenic shoshonitic magmas of the Yzerfontein pluton, South Africa: the 'smoking gun' of mantle melting and crustal growth during Cape granite genesis?
(Springer Verlag, 2017)
The post-orogenic Yzerfontein pluton, in the Saldania Belt of South Africa was constructed through numerous injections of shoshonitic magmas. Most magma compositions are adequately modelled as products of fractionation, ...
Virome assembly and annotation: A surprise in the Namib Desert
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2017)
Sequencing, assembly, and annotation of environmental virome samples is challenging. Methodological biases and differences in species abundance result in fragmentary read coverage; sequence reconstruction is further ...
Effect of nanoparticle (Pd, Pd/Pt, Ni) deposition on high temperature hydrogenation of Ti-V alloys in gaseous flow containing CO
(Elsevier B.V., 2017)
The hydrogenation properties of Ti-V hydrides coated with nanoparticles have been studied in gaseous mixtures of argon and hydrogen with and without additions of 1% CO. Nanoparticles of Pd, Ni, and co-deposited Pd/Pt with ...
