Understanding issues of people living with disabilities in South Africa
(SAGE Publications, 2013)
The problem of disabilities is growing all over the world. Nevertheless, some progress has been made since the year 1981 was proclaimed International Year of Disabled Persons. In 2001 people living with disabilities accounted ...
HerMES: The far-infrared emission from dust-obscured galaxies
(American Astronomical Society, 2013)
The far-infrared (far-IR) luminosities of luminous infrared
galaxies (LIRGs) and ultra-LIRGs (ULIRGs) are dominated by reprocessed thermal dust
emission, due to a combination of star formation and active
galactic nucleus ...
Herschel-ATLAS: A binary HyLIRG pinpointing a cluster of starbursting protoellipticals
(American Astronomical Society, 2013)
Panchromatic observations of the best candidate hyperluminous infrared galaxies from the widest Herschel
extragalactic imaging survey have led to the discovery of at least four intrinsically luminous z = 2.41 galaxies
across ...
On the nature of the variable star UNSW-V-760
(Oxford University Press, 2011)
The results of multicolour photometric monitoring over several nights of the probable X-ray
source UNSW-V-760 are presented. Drawing on both present and past observations, it is
shown that the star is multiperiodic and ...
The analysis of indexed astronomical time series – XI. The statistics of oversampled white noise periodograms
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
The distribution of the maxima of periodograms is considered in the case where the time
series is made up of regularly sampled, uncorrelated Gaussians. It is pointed out that if there
is no oversampling, then for large ...
An extensive search for rapid optical variability in ultracool dwarfs
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
In this paper, a summary of optical time-series photometry of 125 ultracool dwarfs is given.
The observing strategy was to monitor each object continuously for 2–3 h in order to ascertain
whether itwas rapidly variable. ...
Under-5 Mortality in Tanzania: a demographic scenario

Background: The government of the United Republic of Tanzania has initiated the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness program to improve the health and wellbeing of children.
Methods: Tanzania’s under-five mortality ...
Housing ownership among female migrants in South Africa: The case of metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas
(SUN Journals, 2017)
In the study of female migration and housing acquisition, little has been elaborated about the magnitude and the direction of female migrants in South African context. Furthermore, housing tenure status is still under ...
Improving maternal and reproductive health in Ethiopia
(Sage Publications, 2017)
This study aimed to examine the relationship between maternal health and good quality of life in an attempt to understand the years between 2005 and 2011. Data from the Ethiopia Demographic and Health Surveys 2005 and 2011 ...
