Evidence for rapid evolution of periodic variations in an ultracool dwarf
(Oxford University Press, 2006)
The results of three short photometric monitoring runs on the L0 dwarf 2MASS
J06050196−2342270, during three consecutive nights, are presented. The observations show
the persistent presence of a 2.4-h period, with an IC ...
A tensor approach to the estimation of hydraulic conductivities in Table Mountain Group aquifers of South Africa
(Water Research Commission, 2006)
Based on the field measurements of the physical properties of fractured rocks, the anisotropic properties of hydraulic conductivity (HC) of the fractured rock aquifer can be assessed and presented using a tensor approach ...
Evaluating the relevance of the “Real Access” criteria as a framework for rural HCI research
(ACM, 2006)
Developing ICT software that is useful and usable in a rural context poses many problems. One of the major difficulties is understanding the real needs of the target users and the constraints imposed by the rural environment. ...
Socially aware software engineering for the developing world
(IIMC International Information Management Corporation, 2006)
While the social effects of Information Technology (IT) have received much attention there is very little work on targeted methodologies to develop IT applications and content in a developing world environment. This paper ...
Over-expression of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 3b protein induces both apoptosis and necrosis in Vero E6 cells
(Elsevier, 2006)
The genome of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus encodes for eight accessory viral proteins with no known homologues in other
coronaviruses. One of these is the 3b protein, which is encoded by the second ...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus protein 7a interacts with hSGT
(Elsevier, 2006)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) 7a is an accessory protein with no known homologues. In this study, we
report the interaction of a SARS-CoV 7a and small glutamine-rich tetratricopeptide repeat-containing ...
The scientific merit of Carpobrotus mellei L. based on antimicrobial activity and chemical profiling
(Academic Journals, 2006)
Species of the genus Carpobrotus are similar in appearance and have been used for medicinal
purposes over many generations. Carpobrotus mellei is endemic to the south-Western Cape of South
Africa, and also used for various ...
The role of encrusting coralline algae in the diets of selected intertidal herbivores
(Springer Verlag, 2006)
Kalk Bay, South Africa, has a typical south coast zonation pattern with a band of seaweed dominating the mid-eulittoral and sandwiched between two molluscan-herbivore dominated upper and lower eulittoral zones. Encrusting ...
Abalone farming in South Africa: an overview with perspectives on kelp resources, abalone feed, potential for on-farm seaweed production and socio-economic importance
(Elsevier, 2006)
The South African abalone cultivation industry has developed rapidly and is now the largest producer outside Asia. With a rapid decline in wild abalone fisheries, farming now dominates the abalone export market in South ...
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 ...
