Carybdea branchi, sp. nov., a new box jellyfish (Cnidaria: Cubozoa) from South Africa.
(Magnolia Press, 2009)
A common and conspicuous member of the medusan fauna of South Africa has been the subject of repeated taxonomic confusion. After having been mistakenly identified by earlier workers as either Carybdea alata or Tamoya ...
A surface acoustic wave touchscreen-type device using two transducers
(2008)
Current wireless human-computer interaction devices such as wireless mice and touchscreens, by and large, incorporate a sophisticated electronic architecture. The sophistication achieves wireless capabilities but carries ...
Real-time gesture recognition using eigenvectors
(2009)
This paper discusses an implementation for gesture
recognition using eigenvectors under controlled conditions. This
application of eigenvector recognition is trained on a set of
defined hand images. Training images are ...
KernTune: Self-tuning Linux kernel performance using support vector machines
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2007)
Self-tuning has been an elusive goal for operating systems and is becoming a pressing issue for modern operating systems. Well-trained system administrators are able to tune an operating system to achieve better system ...
Characterization and Cradiovascular Effects of (13S)-9α,13α-epoxylabda-6β(19),15(14)diol dilactone, a Diterpenoid Isolated from Leonotis leonurus
(South African Chemical Institute, 2008)
A new diterpenoid, (13S)-9 ,13 -epoxylabda-6 (19),15(14)diol dilactone (1), was isolated from Leonotis leonurus and the structure determined via NMR analysis. The compound causes significant changes in blood pressure of ...
Transcriptomic analysis reveal novel genes with sexually dimorphic expression in the zebrafish gonad and brain
(Plosone, 2008)
Our knowledge on zebrafish reproduction is very limited. We generated a gonad-derived cDNA microarray from zebrafish and used it to analyze large-scale gene expression profiles in adult gonads and other organs. We have ...
DDESC: Dragon database for exploration of sodium channels in human
(BMC Cancer, 2008)
Sodium channels are heteromultimeric, integral membrane proteins that belong to a superfamily of ion channels. The mutations in genes encoding for sodium channel proteins have been linked with several inherited genetic ...
Mice and men: Their promoter properties
(PLoS Genetics, 2006)
Using the two largest collections of Mus musculus and Homo sapiens transcription start sites (TSSs) determined based on CAGE tags, ditags, full-length cDNAs, and other transcript data, we describe the compositional landscape ...
DDEC: Dragon databaseof genes implicated in esophageal cancer
(BioMed Central, 2009)
Esophageal cancer ranks eighth in order of cancer occurrence. Its lethality primarily stems from inability to detect the disease during the early organ-confined stage and the lack of effective therapies for advanced-stage ...
Provision of syndromic treatment of sexually transmitted infections by community pharmacists: a potentially underutilized HIV prevention strategy
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2003)
Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are known risk factors for HIV infection. Goal: The goal of this study was to assess the current and potential future role that community pharmacists in Western Cape, South ...
