Microwave-assisted methods for the synthesis of pentacyclo[5.4.0.02,6.03,10.05,9]undecylamines
(Elsevier, 2013)
Efficient methodologies for the preparation of pentacyclo[5..4.0.02,6.03,10.05,9]undecane (PCU) amine derivatives are described via microwave-assisted synthesis. The obtained results revealed that microwave-assisted synthetic ...
Usability of an authoring tool for generalised scenario creation for signsupport
(Telkom, 2015)
This paper presents the usability testing results for an
authoring tool that generalises scenario creation for a tool called
SignSupport. SignSupport is a mobile communication tool for
Deaf people that currently runs ...
Will climate warming exceed lethal photosynthetic temperature thresholds of lichens in a southern African arid region?
(Wiley, 2013)
Predicted elevated temperatures and a shift from a winter to summer rainfall pattern associated with global warming could result in the exposure of hydrated lichens during summer to more numerous temperature extremes that ...
Direct inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme by an extract of Harpagophytum procumbens, harpagoside and harpagide
(Academic Journals, 2011)
A methanolic extract of Harpagophytum procumbens as well as harpagoside and harpagide were tested
as direct inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme (COX-2). The H. procumbens extract demonstrated
direct inhibition (68%) of ...
Multiplication of Crowns
(Instituto de Matematica de Bahia Blanca (INMABB-CONICET), 2013)
It is known that the only nite topological spaces that are H-spaces are the discrete spaces. For a nite poset which is weakly equivalent to an H-space, a generalized multiplication may be found after suitable ...

Mapping and characterisation of the sorghum cell suspension culture secretome
(Academic Journals, 2011)
Here we reported the first secretomic study of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), a naturally drought tolerant cereal crop. In this study, we used a gel-based proteomic approach in combination with mass spectrometry to separate ...
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 ...
