Decoding heavy metal stress signalling in plants: Towards improved food security and safety
(MDPI, 2020)The mining of heavy metals from the environment leads to an increase in soil pollution, leading to the uptake of heavy metals into plant tissue. The build-up of toxic metals in plant cells often leads to cellular damage ... -
Decoding information literacy ways of thinking in student learning: influencing pedagogic methods
(South African Journals of Higher Education, 2020)University students often experience hidden challenges in various courses across all levels of their academic careers. These difficulties often serve to deter student learning and academic progress which may end in high ... -
Decolonisation of institutional structures in South African universities: A critical perspective
(Cogent OA, 2019)In 2015, using social media, a new generation of South African university students launched the social justice movement #FeesMustFall. The call for social justice, equity and equality has been a burning issue in ... -
Decolonization of a special type: rethinking Cold War history in Southern Africa
(History Department, University of the Western Cape, 2011)Introduction: This special issue of Kronos: Southern African Histories speaks to this imbalance, contributing in small measure to a recent turn in Cold War studies that has sought to incorporate regional perspectives ... -
Deconstructing the 'sugar daddy': A critical review of the constructions of men in intergenerational sexual relationships in South Africa
(Routledge, 2013)Since a recent Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) prevalence study highlighted the relationship between intergenerational sex and risk of HIV infection, a range of studies in Southern Africa have documented the commonality ... -
Deconstructing the Leviathan: Derrida’s The Beast and the Sovereign
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2012)Derrida’s The Beast & the Sovereign volume I, explores the contradictory appearance of animals in political discourse. Sometimes, as he points out, political man and the sovereign state appear in the form of an animal, and ... -
Deconstructing ‘the foreign’: The limits of citizenship for explaining price competition in the Spaza sector in South Africa
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)An important component of the informal economy in South Africa, the Spaza sector is portrayed as dominated by foreign nationals who outcompete South African shopkeepers on price. Indeed, this business competition from ... -
Deconstruction and law: Derrida, Levinas and Cornell
(University of Windsor, 2007)Drucilla Cornell’s book The Philosophy of the Limit has for a long time been an important reference point in attempting to understand the relation between deconstruction and law. This article examines some of the themes ... -
Decorum in nature: Impala (Aepyceros melampus melampus) dung middens follow spatial point patterns in Mukuvisi Woodland, Zimbabwe
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023)Guided by the Optimum Foraging Theory,the Avoidance Concept, and assuming that the impala Aepyceros melampus melampus defecate purposevely at dung middens, we hypothe-sized that the impala’s dung midden locations do not: ... -

A deep radio view of the evolution of the cosmic star formation rate density from a stellar-mass-selected sample in VLA-COSMOS
(Royal Astronomical Society, 2022)We present the 1.4 GHz radio luminosity functions (RLFs) of galaxies in the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) field, measured above and below the 5σ detection threshold, using a Bayesian model-fitting technique. The radio ... -
Deep Extragalactic Visible Legacy Survey (DEVILS): evolution of the σSFR –M relation and implications for self-regulated star formation
(Advance Access, 2021)We present the evolution of the star formation dispersion–stellar mass relation ( σSFR –M ) in the DEVILS D10 region using new measurements derived using the PROSPECT spectral energy distribution fitting code. We find ... -

Deep GMRT 610 MHz observations of the ELAIS N1 field: Catalogue and source counts
(Oxford University Press, 2019)This is the first of a series of papers based on sensitive 610 MHz observations of the ELAIS N1 field, using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope. We describe the observations, processing and source catalogue extraction ... -
A deep search for faint galaxies associated with very low-redshift C iv absorbers: A case with cold-accretion characteristics
(The American Astronomical Society, 2013)Studies of QSO absorber–galaxy connections are often hindered by inadequate information on whether faint/dwarf galaxies are located near the QSO sight lines. To investigate the contribution of faint galaxies to QSO ... -
Deep-sea fisheries as resilient bioeconomic systems for food and nutrition security and sustainable development
