(Telkom, 2010)
This paper describes how a deaf to hearing communication aid built for a mobile phone can be used to provide semi-synchronous communication between a Deaf person and a hearing person who cannot sign. Deaf people with access ...
Maternal mortality in Burkina Faso: a method from population census 2006
(Tehran University of Medical Sciences, 2013)
Background: Estimating maternal mortality level is constantly challenging researchers and planners both in rich and poor countries. In developing countries, particularly in Burkina Faso where the registration system is not ...
Multi-drug resistant (MDR) oral Candida species isolated from HIV-positive patients in South Africa and Cameroon
(Elsevier, 2014)
Candida species are a common cause of infection in immune-compromised HIV-positive individuals, who are usually treated with the antifungal drug, fluconazole in public hospitals in Africa. However, information about the ...
Linking multi-epoch CCD photometry of partially overlapping fields
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
A common problem in CCD photometry is to combine measurements obtained at different
epochs. This is especially challenging if the fields only overlap partially, and are sparse, so
that not all calibrating stars are ...
On the use of electrical resistivity methods in monitoring infiltration of salt fluxes in dry coal ash dumps in Mpumalanga, South Africa
(Water Research Commission, 2013)
One of the principal environmental concerns relating to coal combustion waste disposal is the potential for groundwater
contamination from salt fluxes and trace elements that may be leached into the underlying groundwater ...

coronaviruses ...
Statistical testing of input factors in the carbonation of brine impacted fly ash
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)
A D-optimal design was applied in the study of input factors: temperature, pressure, solid/liquid (S/L) ratio and particle size and
their influence on the carbonation of brine impacted fly ash (FA) determined. Both ...
HE 0230−4323 revisited: a new rapidly pulsating sdB star
(Oxford University Press, 2010)
HE 0230−4323 is a hot sdB star in a binary system. An earlier work demonstrated that the
light curve of the system shows a strong (∼4 per cent) reflection effect and also appears to
exhibit photometric variations of the ...
Self-maintaining or continuously refreshed? The genetic structure of Euphausia lucens populations in the Benguela upwelling ecosystem
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
Populations of Euphausia lucens over the shelf of the southern Benguela upwelling region could be self-maintaining. Alternatively, they could be continually refreshed by expatriates from the SW Atlantic that enter the ...
