Herschel PEP/HerMES: the redshift evolution of dust attenuation and of the total (UV+IR) star formation rate density
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
Using new homogeneous luminosity functions (LFs) in the far-ultraviolet (FUV) from VVDS and in the far-infrared (FIR) from Herschel/PEP and Herschel/HerMES, we studied the evolution of the dust attenuation with redshift. ...
Is Swaziland on track with the 2015 millennium development goals?
(SAGE Publications, 2017)
According to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) agreement, each participating country has to
periodically provide a report that will show the progress on their achievement towards the goals. This
article’s aim is ...
Correlates of early sexual debut and its associated STI/HIV risk factors among sexually active youths in Malawi
(SAGE Publications, 2017)
This study explores the correlates of early sexual debut and risk factors of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among the youth in Malawi. Data was obtained from the Malawi Demographic Health Survey 2010. Out of a ...
Hermes: Cosmic infrared background anisotropies and the clustering of dusty star-forming galaxies
(American Astronomical Society, 2013)
Star formation is well traced by dust, which absorbs the
UV/optical light produced by young stars in actively starforming
regions and re-emits the energy in the far-infrared/
submillimeter (FIR/submm; e.g., Savage & ...
HerMES: Candidate gravitationally lensed galaxies and lensing statistics at submillimeter wavelengths
(American Astronomical Society, 2013)
Gravitational lensing increases the angular size and integrated flux of affected sources. It is exploited to investigate the mass distribution of the foreground lensing structures and the properties of the background lensed ...
Correlates of infant and child mortality in Ethiopia 2005
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
INTRODUCTION: Risk of mortality prevails for children with shorter birth interval since their mothers are likely
to have poor health. AIM: The aim of the study is to determine the indirect estimation of infant and child ...

(GIGA German Institute of Global and Area Studies, 2016)
This article examines the relations between practices in informal
land transactions under customary tenure and spatial differentiation
among suburbs in the periphery of the city of Pointe-Noire, Congo-
Brazzaville. Urban ...
A review of the underlying factors influencing female genital mutilation in Africa
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is a re-occurring decimal in Africa. This phenomenon is estimated to occur in over twenty-five (25) countries in Africa. It is further estimated that FGM has been performed on nearly two ...
A qualitative study of referring agents’ perceptions of access barriers to inpatient substance abuse treatment centres in the Western Cape
(BioMed Central, 2015)
Background: Despite empirical support for the individual and public health benefits of treating substance use disorders (SUDs) , access to these services is impeded by several barriers. Although many studies on access ...
A detection threshold in the amplitude spectra calculated from Kepler data obtained during K2 mission.
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
We present our analysis of simulated data in order to derive a detection threshold which can
be used in the pre-whitening process of amplitude spectra. In case of ground-based data of
pulsating stars, this threshold is ...
