Multi-wavelength properties of radio- and machine-learning-identified counterparts to submillimeter sources in s2cosmos
(The Astrophysical Journal, 2019)We identify multi-wavelength counterparts to 1147 submillimeter sources from the S2COSMOS SCUBA-2 survey of the COSMOS field by employing a recently developed radio+machine-learning method trained on a large sample of ... -
Multi-year trend analysis of childhood immunization uptake and coverage in Nigeria
(Cambridge University Press, 2013)As a leading indicator of child health, under-five mortality was incorporated in the United Nations Millennium Development Goals with the aim of reducing the rate by two-thirds between 1990 and 2015. Under-five mortality in ... -
Multicolour time series photometry of 2MASS 1207−3932
(Oxford University Press, 2008)Time series photometry in VRI of the young brown dwarf Two-Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) J1207334−393254 is presented. Variability in I is insignificant, but amplitudes up to ∼0.2 mag in R, and ∼0.55 mag in V, are seen ... -
Multicolour time series photometry of four short-period weak-lined T Tauri stars
(Oxford University Press, 2015)The paper describes continuous photometric monitoring of four pre-main-sequence stars, probable members of young stellar associations. Measurements, covering at least four nights per star, were obtained by cycling through ... -
Multicolour time series photometry of the T Tauri star CVSO 30
(Oxford University Press, 2015)Five consecutive runs of at least five hours, and two shorter runs, of V(RI)C time series photometry of CVSO 30 are presented. No evidence could be seen for planetary transits, previously claimed in the literature for ... -
Multicolour time series photometry of the variable star 1SWASP J234401.81−212229.1
(Oxford University Press, 2014)1SWASP J234401.81-212229.1 may be one of a handful of contact binaries comprising two Mdwarfs. Modelling of the available observations is complicated by the fact that the radiation of the eclipsing system is dominated ... -
Multicolour time series photometry of three periodic ultracool dwarfs
(Oxford University Press, 2013)Photometry in I, or contemporaneously in I and R, of the known variable ultracool dwarfs Kelu-1 and 2MASS J11553952−3727350 is presented. The nature of the variability of Kelu-1 appears to evolve on time-scales of a day ... -
Multidimensional poverty in South Africa in 2001–16
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)This study uses the Census 2001 and 2011 as well as Community Survey 2007 and 2016 data to derive a multidimensional poverty index in South Africa for each year, before assessing the changes in non-money-metric, ... -
A multifactor comparative assessment of augmented reality frameworks in diverse computing settings
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2023)Research and development on different augmented reality (AR) frameworks have come a long way when it comes to image tracking, object tracking, plane tracking and light estimation. However, there might be trade-offs and ... -
Multifilter observations of the complex periodic variations in eight pre-main sequence stars
(Royal Astronomical Society, 2023)Follow up time series photometry through various combinations of the BVRCIC filter set is presented for eight young stars. The complex periodic variability of seven of the stars was first discovered in TESS photometry, ... -
Multifilter time-series observations of eleven blue short-period atlas variable stars
(IOP Publishing, 2023)Eleven periodic variable stars were observed photometrically through two to four filters from the set UBVRCIC. Phase-folded data for each star cover full cycles of variation. Spectral energy distributions, based on ... -
Multifilter time-series observations of three short period ATLAS variable stars
(Oxford University Press, 2019-09)The ‘Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System’ discovered hundreds of thousands of new candidate variable stars. Follow-up observations of three of these are reported in this paper. The targets were selected on the ... -
Multifunctional Gold Nanoparticles for Improved Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications: A Review
(Springer Open, 2021)The medical properties of metals have been explored for centuries in traditional medicine for the treatment of infections and diseases and still practiced to date. Platinum-based drugs are the first class of metal-based ... -
Multilateral environmental agreements and land and resource rights in Africa
(Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies, University of the Western Cape, 2004)Many African countries are signatories to a number of international and regional environmental treaties. These include the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild ... -
