The performance of photometric reverberation mapping at high redshift and the reliability of damped random walk models
(Oxford University Press, 2020)Accurate methods for reverberation mapping using photometry are highly sought after since they are inherently less resource intensive than spectroscopic techniques. However, the effectiveness of photometric reverberation ... -

Performance of Richardson extrapolation on some numerical methods for a singularly perturbed turning point problem whose solution has boundary layers
(KOREAN MATHEMATICAL SOC, 2014)Investigation of the numerical solution of singularly perturbed turning point problems dates back to late 1970s. However, due to the presence of layers, not many high order schemes could be developed to solve such problems. ... -
Performance of the 3-item screener, the Edinburgh postnatal depression scale, the Hopkins symptoms checklist-15 and the self-reporting questionnaire and pregnancy risk questionnaire, in screening of depression in antenatal clinics in the Blantyre district of Malawi
(University of Malawi, 2018)Screening instruments for antenatal depression vary in performance. This study aimed at assessing the performance of a range of screening instruments in detecting depressive symptoms in antenatal clinics in Blantyre ... -
Performative ethnography: difference and conviviality of everyday multiculturalism in Bellville (Cape Town)
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)The paper explores the benefits of performative ethnography as a methodological intervention. The intervention discussed in this paper utilizes the persuasive power of aesthetics and performance to attain participation ... -
Performing cities: Engaging the high-tech flâneur
(The Forum on Education Abroad, 2011)The city as place forms the backdrop to many study abroad experiences. Our sense of place, however, is often fractured by modern mobilities. As Sack (1988) notes, we move from place to place so much that places often begin ... -
Performing rap ciphas in late-modern Cape Town: Extreme locality and multilingual citizenship
(Brill, 2010)The study of hip-hop in Cape Town, and indeed South Africa, has traditionally focused on the narratives and poetics of resistance, race and counter-hegemonic agency in the context of apartheid and the early days of ... -
Performing the struggle against apartheid opposing apartheid on stage: King Kong the musical
(Cambridge University Press, 2023)Tyler Fleming’s book provides an account of the first production of ‘King Kong’ — a musical theatre production based on the life of the boxer Ezekiel Dlamini — in 1959. This musical rankled the apartheid state partly ... -
The perils of under-treatment-by not extracting asymptomatic third molar teeth, am I under-prescribing?

Perinatal suicidality: Risk factors in South African women with mental illness
(OpenJournals Publishing AOSIS (Pty) Ltd, 2020)Maternal Mortality is a global health concern. The lack of suicide data, particularly in low and middle income countries, is concerning and needs to be addressed. Aim: This study assessed suicidality and associated factors ... -
Periodic low-frequency electric field structures in a magnetized non-thermal auroral plasma
(Elsevier, 2019)The theoretical explanation of electric field structures associated with density depletion in the Earth’s upper ionosphere is presented. Using the quasi-neutrality hypothesis, the effect of excess energetic electron ... -
Periodic variations in the O-C diagrams of five pulsation frequencies of the DB white dwarf EC 20058-5234
(American Physical Society, 2013)Variations in the pulsation arrival time of five independent pulsation frequencies of the DB white dwarf EC 20058−5234 individually imitate the effects of reflex motion induced by a planet or companion but are inconsistent ... -

Periodontitis and cardiovascular disease
(South African Dental Association (SADA), 2013)Periodontal medicine has been studied and reviewed extensively since its introduction to the dental fraternity. The association of periodontal disease with and its effects on the cardiovascular system are amongst the many ... -
Peripheral neuropathy and quality of life of adults living with HIV/AIDS in the Rulindo district of Rwanda
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)Although the life expectancy of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) has increased in the past years, they could experience secondary illness such as peripheral neuropathy (PN). Therefore, they need to adapt to chronic ... -
Permeation challenges of drugs for treatment of neurological tuberculosis and HIV and the application of magneto-electric nanoparticle drug delivery systems
(MDPI, 2021)The anatomical structure of the brain at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) creates a limitation for the movement of drugs into the central nervous system (CNS). Drug delivery facilitated by magneto-electric nanoparticles (MENs) ... -
Permian to cretaceous granites and felsic volcanics from SW Vietnam and S Cambodia: Implications for tectonic development of Indochina
(Asian Earth Sciences, 2021)Zircon ages and geochemistry are presented for igneous rocks from SW Vietnam and S Cambodia. Four main age groupings occur: Cretaceous (107–75 Ma), Early Jurassic (195 Ma), Late Triassic (230–222 Ma), and Permian (294–265 ... -
Peroxide-based route for the synthesis of zinc titanate powder
(Elsevier, 2016)In this work the thermodynamical solubility diagrams of zinc and titanium hydroxides were reviewed in order to determine the conditions for maximum degree of phase composition homogenization of precipitates. Experimental ... -
Persistence of the inverse care law in maternal health service utilization: An examination of antenatal care and hospital delivery in Ghana
(PAGEpress, 2019)The gap in maternal health outcomes, access and utilization between the haves and have-nots continues to be a challenge globally despite improvements over the past decade. Though Ghana has experienced steady gains in ... -
