(University of Western Cape, 2019)Corruption is inimical to Africa’s quest for socio-economic transformation. Available empirical evidence highlights a sustained increase of corruption globally, with an equal emphasis on interdisciplinary interventions. ... -
Specialized morphology, not relatively large head size, facilitates competition between a small-bodied specialist and large-bodied generalist competitors
(Journal of Zoology, 2021)Interspecific competition for limited resources should theoretically occur between species that are morphologically similar to each other. Consequently, species that reduce competition by adapting to specialize on a specific ... -
Spectral age distribution for radio-loud active galaxies in the XMM-LSS field
(Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023)Jets of energetic particles, as seen in FR type-I and FR type-II sources, ejected from the centre of radio-loud AGN affect the sources surrounding the intracluster medium/intergalactic medium. Placing constraints on the ... -
