An exploratory look at associated factors of poverty on educational attainment in Africa and in-depth multilevel modelling for Namibia.
(BER, 2013)
This study examines several indicator variables related to education
and poverty in Africa from the Demographic and Health Surveys
(DHS). Many have described income and education as one of the
fundamental determinants ...

Understanding issues of people living with disabilities in South Africa
(SAGE Publications, 2013)
The problem of disabilities is growing all over the world. Nevertheless, some progress has been made since the year 1981 was proclaimed International Year of Disabled Persons. In 2001 people living with disabilities accounted ...
HerMES: The far-infrared emission from dust-obscured galaxies
(American Astronomical Society, 2013)
The far-infrared (far-IR) luminosities of luminous infrared
galaxies (LIRGs) and ultra-LIRGs (ULIRGs) are dominated by reprocessed thermal dust
emission, due to a combination of star formation and active
galactic nucleus ...
Herschel-ATLAS: A binary HyLIRG pinpointing a cluster of starbursting protoellipticals
(American Astronomical Society, 2013)
Panchromatic observations of the best candidate hyperluminous infrared galaxies from the widest Herschel
extragalactic imaging survey have led to the discovery of at least four intrinsically luminous z = 2.41 galaxies
across ...
On the nature of the variable star UNSW-V-760
(Oxford University Press, 2011)
The results of multicolour photometric monitoring over several nights of the probable X-ray
source UNSW-V-760 are presented. Drawing on both present and past observations, it is
shown that the star is multiperiodic and ...
The analysis of indexed astronomical time series – XI. The statistics of oversampled white noise periodograms
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
The distribution of the maxima of periodograms is considered in the case where the time
series is made up of regularly sampled, uncorrelated Gaussians. It is pointed out that if there
is no oversampling, then for large ...
Evidence for rapid evolution of periodic variations in an ultracool dwarf
(Oxford University Press, 2006)
The results of three short photometric monitoring runs on the L0 dwarf 2MASS
J06050196−2342270, during three consecutive nights, are presented. The observations show
the persistent presence of a 2.4-h period, with an IC ...
An extensive search for rapid optical variability in ultracool dwarfs
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
In this paper, a summary of optical time-series photometry of 125 ultracool dwarfs is given.
The observing strategy was to monitor each object continuously for 2–3 h in order to ascertain
whether itwas rapidly variable. ...

(Tehran University of Medical Sciences, 2012)
Background: The government of the United Republic of Tanzania has initiated the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness program to improve the health and wellbeing of children.
Methods: Tanzania’s under-five mortality ...
