Planning for treatment ethically
(South African Dental Association, 2014)
While dentistry remains firstly a health profession, it is naive
and unrealistic not to realise that business considerations
and financial compensation for services rendered play an
important role in achieving a successful ...
Evidence of pervasive biologically functional secondary structures within the Genomes of Eukaryotic Single-Stranded DNA Viruses
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013)
Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) viruses have genomes that are potentially capable of forming complex secondary structures
through Watson-Crick base pairing between their constituent nucleotides. A few of the structural elements ...
Improving usability and correctness of a mobile tool to help a Deaf person with pharmaceutical instruction
(ACM, 2013)
The computing for development community knows how to build user interfaces using qualitative methods for text il- literate users, especially on mobile devices. However, lit- tle work has been done speci cally targeting ...
A novel document ranking algorithm that supports mobile healthcare information access effectiveness
(Academic Journals Inc., 2011)
This study presented DROPT; an acronym for Document ranking Optmization algorithm approach, a new idea for the effectiveness of meaningful retrieval results from the information source. Proposed method extracted the frequency ...
Situation-aware routing based on link quality for static mesh networks with mobile nodes
(Telkom, 2011)
Situation-aware routing seeks to improve quality of service on hybrid wireless mesh networks by making routing decisions based on the current situation of the network. BATMAN-adv is a mesh routing protocol that counts ...

We present the design and methods of the COS-Halos survey, a systematic investigation of the gaseous halos of
44 z = 0.15–0.35 galaxies using background QSOs observed with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph aboard the

The cosmic evolution of the IMF under the Jeans conjecture with implications for massive galaxies
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
We examine the cosmic evolution of a stellar initial mass function (IMF) in galaxies that varies
with the Jeans mass in the interstellar medium, paying particular attention to the K-band stellar
mass-to-light ratio (M/LK) ...
The slow flow model of dust eflux in local star-forming galaxies
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
We develop a dust efflux model of radiation pressure acting on dust grains which
successfully reproduces the relation between stellar mass, dust opacity and star forma-
tion rate observed in local star-forming galaxies. ...
