Development of molecular tools for honeybee virus research: the South African contribution
(Academic Journals, 2003)
Increasing knowledge of the association of honeybee viruses with other honeybee parasites, primarily
the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor, and their implication in the mass mortality of honeybee
colonies has resulted ...
High 16S rDNA bacterial diversity in glacial meltwater lake sediment, Bratina Island, Antarctica
(Springer Verlag, 2003)
The microbial diversity in maritime meltwater
pond sediments from Bratina Island, Ross Sea, Antarctica
was investigated by 16S rDNA-dependent
molecular phylogeny. Investigations of the vertical
distribution, phylogenetic ...
Using voice over IP to bridge the digital divide: a critical action research approach
(Telkom, 2003)
There is a great disparity between those who have access to Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and those that do not. This phenomenon forms part of the Digital Divide. Many ICTs may be used to help overcome ...
SoftBridge in action: the first Deaf telephony pilot
(Telkom, 2003)
Following on several partial prototypes, we built an automated Deaf Telephony bridging application with the SoftBridge platform. The SoftBridge performs multi-modal bridging in real-time using Text-to-Speech (TTS) and ...
Observations on the ecology of Pleurobrachia pileus (Ctenophora) in the southern Benguela ecosystem
(NISC (Pty) Ltd and Taylor & Francis, 2003)
The vertical distribution, abundance and size composition of a population of Pleurobrachia pileus was studied during a six-day drogue study conducted off the west coast of South Africa in February 1995. The population was ...
Non-specificity of Staphylococcus generic primers
(Society for General Microbiology, 2003)
Our results allow us to conclude that there
appears to be significant conservation
between the tuf genes of Planococcus,
Planomicrobium and Staphylococcus
spp., and that although the primer set
TstaG422/TStag765 has ...
Floor control arbitration for a hybrid voice/text web-board
(Telkom, 2003)
We have built a hybrid voice/text web–board that utilizes floor control for handling resources such as microphone and interface events. The aim of this research is to determine the most appropriate floor control mechanism ...
SoftBridge: a multimodal instant messaging bridging system
(Telkom, 2003)
Instant Messaging is traditionally a text only a air. However, there are instances when it would be useful to bridge to other types of media, like speech. The SoftBridge is an application framework that enables this kind ...
Provision of syndromic treatment of sexually transmitted infections by community pharmacists: a potentially underutilized HIV prevention strategy
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2003)
Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are known risk factors for HIV infection. Goal: The goal of this study was to assess the current and potential future role that community pharmacists in Western Cape, South ...
Review and re-analysis of domain-specific 16S primers
(Elsevier, 2003)
The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) has facilitated the detection of unculturable microorganisms in virtually any environmental source and has thus been used extensively in the assessment of environmental microbial diversity. ...
