(SUN, 2013)Following some biographic introductory comments, the argument of this contribution proceeds in two steps. First, the distinction between Herman Bavinck's left and right hand is clarified, amongst others with reference ... -
Amino acids 1055 to 1192 in the S2 Region of severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus S Protein induce neutralizing antibodies: Implications for the development of vaccines and antiviral agents
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005)The spike (S) protein of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) interacts with cellular receptors to mediate membrane fusion, allowing viral entry into host cells; hence it is recognized as the primary ... -
Amorphous Pt@dCu/CNT catalyst for methanol elextrooxidation
(South African Chemical Institute (SACI), 2013)A multi-walled carbon nanotube-supported, Pt decorated nano-sized amorphous PdCu alloy cores (denoted as Pt@PdCu/CNT) catalyst with lower Pt loading is synthesized via a galvanic displacement reaction. The structure is ... -
Amphibious Horses: Beings in the Littoral and Liminal Contact Zones
(2013)Horses galloping in littoral zones are represented as embodying wildness, freedom and a prelapsarian quality. Roy Campbell’s ‘The Horses of the Camargue’ includes themes which recur in texts about littoral horses: the ... -
An investigation into current attitudes towards English at the University of the Western Cape
(Stellenbosch University, 1997)This work-in-progess paper describes the writer's current research into the language attitudes, preferences and usage of the student speech community at the University of the Western Cape. It specifically looks at responses ... -
An overview of recent changes to corporate governance frameworks as it pertains to executive remuneration

An unconditionally stable nonstandard finite difference method applied to a mathematical model of HIV infection
(De Gruyter Open, 2013)We formulate and analyze an unconditionally stable nonstandard finite difference method for a mathematical model of HIV transmission dynamics. The dynamics of this model are studied using the qualitative theory of dynamical ... -
Anaemia – a pale ale?
(Cogent OA, 2017)Despite some modest improvements described recently, anaemia remains a significant global public health concern affecting both developed and developing countries. It affects a quarter of the global population, including ... -
Anaerobes and bacterial vaginosis in pregnancy: virulence factors contributing to vaginal colonisation
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2014)The aetiology and pathogenesis of bacterial vaginosis (BV) is unclear but it appears to be associated with factors that disrupt the normal acidity of the vagina thus altering the equilibrium between the normal vaginal ... -
Analyses of HIV-1 integrase sequences prior to South African national HIV-treatment program and available of integrase inhibitors in Cape Town, South Africa
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)HIV-Integrase (IN) has proven to be a viable target for highly specific HIV-1 therapy. We aimed to characterize the HIV-1 IN gene in a South African context and identify resistance-associated mutations (RAMs) against ... -
Analysing the professional development of teaching and learning from a political ethics of care perspective
(Routledge, 2014)This paper uses Tronto’s political ethics of care as a normative framework to evaluate a model of teaching and learning professional development. This framework identifies five integrated moral elements of care – ... -
Analysis of district oral health services in KwaZulu-Natal
(SUN journals, 2017)There is very little published data on public oral health services in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). This paper analyzes oral health service delivery within the Department of Health in KZN. METHODS The study used an in-depth, ... -
Analysis of human resources for health strategies and policies in 5 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, in response to GFATM AND Pepfar-funded HIV-activities
(BioMed Central -The Open Access Publisher, 2013)BACKGROUND: Global Health Initiatives (GHIs), aiming at reducing the impact of specific diseases such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), have flourished since 2000. Amongst these, PEPFAR and GFATM have provided ... -
The analysis of indexed astronomical time series – X. Significance testing of O − C data
(Oxford University Press, 2006)It is assumed that O − C (‘observed minus calculated’) values of periodic variable stars are determined by three processes, namely measurement errors, random cycle-to-cycle jitter in the period, and possibly long-term ... -
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 ... -
The analysis of indexed astronomical time series – XII. The statistics of oversampled Fourier spectra of noise plus a single sinusoid
(Oxford University Press, 2015)With few exceptions, theoretical studies of periodogram properties focus on pure noise time series. This paper considers the case in which the time series consists of noise together with a single sinusoid, observed at ... -
The analysis of irregularly observed stochastic astronomical time-series – I. Basics of linear stochastic differential equations
(Oxford University Press, 2005)The theory of low-order linear stochastic differential equations is reviewed. Solutions to these equations give the continuous time analogues of discrete time autoregressive time-series. Explicit forms for the power ... -
An analysis of the current and future deployment of Information Systems and Technology at the University of the Western Cape
(Dept of Information Systems, Univ. of the Western Cape, 2000)In order to successfully deploy information technology and information systems, any organisation must have a strategy indicating where its business is going, an understanding of the information systems that will help to ... -
An analysis of voice over Internet Protocol in wireless mesh networks
(IEEE, 2014)The paper focuses on analyzing the affects of wireless mesh networks with some mobile nodes on Voice over Internet Protocol service quality. Our interest is to examine this in simulation to learn how to better deploy voice ... -
An analysis of what has been "lost" in the interpretation and transcription process of selected TRC testimonies
(Department of General Linguistics, Stellenbosch University, 2006)The main aim of this research is to evaluate “what has been lost” in the simultaneous interpretation and transcription processes of selected Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) testimonies. The testimonies under ...
