Cosmology from HI galaxy surveys with the SKA
(Proceedings of Science, 2014)The Square Kilometer Array (SKA) has the potential to produce galaxy redshift surveys which will be competitive with other state of the art cosmological experiments in the next decade. In this chapter we summarise what ... -
Cosmology on the largest scales with the SKA
(Proceedings of Science, 2014)The study of the Universe on ultra-large scales is one of the major science cases for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). The SKA will be able to probe a vast volume of the cosmos, thus representing a unique instrument, ... -
Cosmology on ultralarge scales with intensity mapping of the neutral hydrogen 21 cm emission: limits on primodial non-gaussianity
(American Physical Society, 2013)The large-scale structure of the Universe supplies crucial information about the physical processes at play at early times. Unresolved maps of the intensity of 21 cm emission from neutral hydrogen HI at redshifts z ~ 1 − ... -
Cosmology with a SKA HI intensity mapping survey
(Proceedings of Science, 2014)HI intensity mapping (IM) is a novel technique capable of mapping the large-scale structure of the Universe in three dimensions and delivering exquisite constraints on cosmology, by using HI as a biased tracer of the ... -
Cosmology with Phase 1 of the Square Kilometre Array Red Book 2018: Technical specifications and performance forecasts
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)We present a detailed overview of the cosmological surveys that we aim to carry out with Phase 1 of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA1) and the science that they will enable. We highlight three main surveys: a medium-deep ... -
Cosmology with photometrically classified type IA supernovae from the SDSS-II supernova survey
(The American Astronomical Society, 2013)We present the cosmological analysis of 752 photometrically–classified Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) obtained from the full Sloan Digital Sky Survey II (SDSS-II) Supernova (SN) Survey, supplemented with host–galaxy ... -
COSMOS2020: A panchromatic view of the universe to z ∼ 10 from two complementary catalogs
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)The Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) has become a cornerstone of extragalactic astronomy. Since the last public catalog in 2015, a wealth of new imaging and spectroscopic data have been collected in the COSMOS field. This ... -

Cost of Traditional Herbal Medicines for Noncommunicable Diseases in Rural and Urban Communities in South Africa
(Elsevier Inc., 2022)Objectives: This study assessed traditional herbal medicine (THM) and conventional medicine (CM) utilization among par- participants with a noncommunicable diseases in South Africa. Methods: A cross-sectional study of the ... -
Coulomb excitation of 102 Ru with 12 C and 16 O
(American Physical Society, 2022)The Coulomb excitation of 102Ru was performed with beams of 12C and 16O ions. The beam particles scattered at forward angles were momentum analyzed with a magnetic spectrograph. The resolution achieved enabled the ... -
Coulomb excitation of and a change in structure approaching N = Z = 40
(American Physical Society, 2021)Background: Nuclei approaching are known to exhibit strongly deformed structures and are thought to be candidates for shape coexistence. In the krypton isotopes, are poorly characterized, preventing an understanding of ... -
Covid-19 among adults living with HIV: Correlates of mortality among public sector healthcare users in Western Cape, South Africa
(Wiley, 2023)Introduction: While a large proportion of people with HIV (PWH) have experienced SARS-CoV-2 infections, there is uncertainty about the role of HIV disease severity on COVID-19 outcomes, especially in lower-income settings. ... -
Covid-19 and cancer therapy: Interrelationships and management of cancer cases in the era of Covid-19
(Hindawi, 2021)'e COVID-19 global epidemic poses this generation’s biggest worldwide public health challenge probably since the 1918 influenza epidemic. Recent reports on two new variants have triggered a dramatic upsurge in research ... -
Crataegus monogyna and centella asiatica extracts as inhibitors of cathepsin s
(Horizon Research Publishing, 2022)Cathepsin cysteine proteases such as cathepsin S are responsible for the unfavorable and irreversible dysregulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteolysis found in cardiomyopathy, heart valve diseases and atherosclerosis. ... -
Creating opportunities through science symposia
(South African Assn. For The Advancement Of Science, 2020)For most marine scientists, unless we work in the field of fisheries development or at the interface of science and policy, it is rare to feel that we are making an impact on the lives of people in the wider community. ... -
Crispr-based multi-gene integration strategies to create saccharomyces cerevisiae strains for consolidated bioprocessing
(MDPI, 2022)Significant engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is required to enable consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) of lignocellulose to ethanol. Genome modification in S. cerevisiae has been successful partly due to its efficient ... -
