Determinants of women’s preferred and actual abortion provision locations in Nigeri
(Springer, 2021)Background: Unsafe abortion remains a leading cause of maternal mortality globally. Many factors can infuence women’s decisions around where to seek abortion care; however, little research has been done on abortion care ... -
Determination of anthracene on Ag-Au alloy nanoparticles/overoxidized-polypyrrole composite modified glassy carbon electrodes
(MDPI, 2010)A novel electrochemical sensor for the detection of anthracene was prepared by modifying a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with over-oxidized polypyrrole (PPyox) and Ag-Au (1:3) bimetallic nanoparticles (Ag-AuNPs). The ... -
Determination of kanamycin plasma levels using LC-MS and its pharmacokinetics in patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis with and without HIV-infection
(OMICS, 2015)The objectives of the study were: (1) to determine kanamycin plasma concentrations using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS), (2) to investigate kanamycin pharmacokinetics (PK) in patients with ... -
Determination of orthodontic bracket and tooth adaptation using an X-ray micro-computer tomography scanner
(Elsevier, 2020)The determination of the orthodontic brackets’ adaptation to the curvatures of teeth is a difficult topic to study. The complexity arise due to the different designs of their fitting surfaces, margins and curvatures of ... -
Determination of paracetamol on electrochemically reduced graphene oxide–antimony nanocomposite modified pencil graphite electrode using adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetry
(MDPI, 2022)A simple, highly sensitive, accurate, and low-cost electrochemical sensor was developed for the determination of over-the-counter painkiller, paracetamol (PC). The enhanced sensing capabilities of the developed sensor ... -
Determination of reservoir flow units from core data: A case study of the lower cretaceous sandstone reservoirs, Western Bredasdorp basin offshore in South Africa
(Springer Nature, 2021)The overarching aim of this study is to use core measurements of porosity and permeability in three wells (MO1, MO2, and MO3) to generate a scheme of sandstone reservoir zonation for identification of flow units in the E-M ... -
Determination of seminal oxidation–reduction potential (ORP) as an easy and cost-effective clinical marker of male infertility
(Wiley, 2017)Oxidative stress (OS) is an important contributing factor to male infertility. While previous methods to measure seminal OS are time-consuming and limited to the use of freshly produced semen, oxidation reduction potential ... -
The determination of the effect(s) of solute carrier family 22‑member 2 (SLC22A2) haplotype variants on drug binding via molecular dynamic simulation systems
(Nature Research, 2022)Single nucleotide polymorphisms detected in the solute carrier member family-22 has been shown to result in a variable response in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus with Metformin. This study predicted a ... -
Determination of total organic carbon content using Passey's method in coals of the central Kalahari Karoo Basin, Botswana
(2022)This paper focuses on determining total organic carbon (TOC) from boreholes in the Kalahari Basin, Botswana, using Passey's method. The Kalahari Karoo basin is one of several basins in southern Africa filled with Late ... -
