A records management model for an intelligent university
(South African Society of Archivists, 2019)This article is based on an MLIS case study undertaken at the University of the Western Cape. The article is meant to add knowledge and insight into university records management and presents a records management model for ... -
Records of ctenophores from South Africa
(PeerJ, 2021)Although ctenophores can be conspicuous components of the plankton in coastal marine ecosystems, only six species have been formally described from around South Africa. Using photographs from local community scientists, ... -

Recovery and recycling of valuable metals from spent lithium-ion batteries: A comprehensive review and analysis
(MDPI, 2023)The recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion Batteries) has drawn a lot of interest in recent years in response to the rising demand for the corresponding high-value metals and materials and the mounting concern ... -
Recruiting and retaining rural students: evidence from a Faculty of Dentistry in South Africa
(Deakin University, 2012)There is a shortage internationally of adequately trained health professionals to service rural areas. Health professionals are more likely to practice in communities that are like the one in which they grew up. The WHO ... -
Recursion relations for gravitational lensing
(Springer Nature, 2019)The weak gravitational lensing formalism can be extended to the strong lensing regime by integrating a nonlinear version of the geodesic deviation equation. The resulting ‘roulette’ expansion generalises the notion of ... -

Redshift evolution of galaxy group X-ray properties in the SIMBA simulations
(Oxford University Press, 2023)We examine the evolution of intragroup gas rest-frame X-ray scaling relations for group-sized haloes (M500 = 1012.3–1015 M) in the SIMBA galaxy formation simulation. X-ray luminosity LX versus M500 shows increasing deviation ... -
The redshift evolution of the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation in SIMBA
(Oxford university press, 2021)The baryonic Tully–Fisher relation (BTFR) is an important tool for constraining galaxy evolution models. As 21-cm HI emission studies have been largely restricted to low redshifts, the redshift evolution of the BTFR is ... -
