West Coast plants for a waterwise garden
(Botanical Society of South Africa, 2009)
The new gardening mantra is 'grow indigenous'. Besides their aesthetic value, most indigenous plants are less costly to maintain, largely because they have long adapted to the local climate and thus to the local rainfall. ...
Three species of Mastophora (Rhodophyta: Corallinales, Corallinaceae) in the tropical Indo-Pacific Ocean: M. rosea (C. Agardh) Setchell, M. pacifica (Heydrich) Foslie, and M. multistrata sp. nov
(International Phycological Society, 2009)
Three species of Mastophora (Corallinaceae, Corallinales, Rhodophyta) were found in extensive studies of nongeniculate
coralline algae in various areas of the tropical Indo-Pacific, including French Polynesia, Fiji, Ryukyu ...

JL 82: a slowly pulsating hot subdwarf star in a close binary system
(Oxford University Press, 2009)
JL 82 is a known binary, consisting of an sdB star and a companion which is not directly
observable in the optical. Photometric measurements reported in this paper show it to variable
with both the binary period (∼0.75 ...
Confidence intervals for the correlation between the gamma-ray burst peak energy and the associated supernova peak brightness
(Oxford University Press, 2009)
A strong correlation between the gamma-ray burster peak energy and the peak luminosity
of the associated supernova was discovered by Li for four GRBs. Despite the fact that the
formal significance level of the correlation ...
The Nyquist frequency for time series with slight deviations from regular spacing
(Oxford University Press, 2009)
The paper is based on the notion that the Nyquist frequency νN is a symmetry point of the
periodogram of a time series: the power spectrum at frequencies above νN is a mirror image
of that below νN. Koen showed that the ...
Low-Cost feedstock conversion to biodiesel via ultrasound technology
(MDPI, 2009)
Biodiesel has attracted increasing interest and has proved to be a good substitute for fossil-based fuels due to its environmental advantages and availability from renewable resources such as refined and waste vegetable ...
Is there evolution in the infrared Tully–Fisher relation? Comparing two linear regressions
(Oxford University Press, 2009)
In a recent paper, Puech and co-workers compared K-band Tully–Fisher relations derived
for nearby and distant galaxies, respectively. They concluded that the two relations differ,
and deduced that there is evolution in ...
Rapid assessment of tissue nitrogen in cultivated Gracilaria gracilis (Rhodophyta) and Ulva lactuca (Chlorophyta)
(NISC, 2009)
Tissue nitrogen content and thallus colour were quantified using a rapid assessment method based on the Pantone® matt uncoated formula guide for raft-cultivated Gracilaria gracilis Steentoft Irvine et Farnham at Saldanha ...
Graphs, designs and codes related to the n-cube
(Elsivier, 2009)
For integers n 1; k 0, and k n, the graph k
n has vertices the 2n vectors of
Fn
2 and adjacency defined by two vectors being adjacent if they differ in k coordinate
positions. In particular 1
n is the ...
