Asynchronous video telephony for the Deaf
(Telkom, 2007)
The South African Deaf community has very limited telephony options. They prefer to communicate in sign language, a visual medium. Realtime video over Internet Protocol is a promising option, but in reality, the quality ...
Reflection on three years of rural wireless Internet Protocol communication
(Telkom, 2007)
This paper reports on three years of research and fieldwork with a rural wireless Internet Protocol communication project. We built a long-range WiFi network and custom communication software to support a rural telehealth ...
The nonstructural protein 8 (nsp8) of the SARS coronavirus interacts with its ORF6 accessory protein
(Elsevier, 2007)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus (SARS-CoV) caused a severe outbreak in several regions of the world in 2003. The
SARS-CoV genome is predicted to contain 14 functional open reading frames (ORFs). The ...
MUTI Telehealth
(2007)
For four years we have been iteratively evolving MUTI, a rural telehealth system, for hospitals and clinics in a remote rural part of the Eastern Cape in South Africa (Chetty, 2005; Chetty et al., 2003, 2004a; Maunder et ...
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 ...
Fitting sinusoids to observations of rotating spotted stars
(Oxford University Press, 2007)
It is assumed that K blocks (e.g. seasons) of observations are available, and the parameters
characterizing a fixed-frequency sinusoidal variability (mean light level, amplitude, phase)
are constant within each of the ...
Improved SAAO–2MASS photometry transformations
(Oxford University Press, 2007)
Near-infrared photometry of 599 stars is used to calculate transformations from the South
African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) JHK system to the Two-Micron All-Sky Survey
(2MASS) JHKS system. Both several-term formal ...
Structure of an aliphatic amidase from Geobacillus pallidus RAPc8
(International Union of Crystallography, 2007)
The amidase from Geobacillus pallidus RAPc8, a moderate
thermophile, is a member of the nitrilase superfamily and
catalyzes the conversion of amides to the corresponding
carboxylic acids and ammonia. It shows both ...
Sequence analysis of an Archaeal virus isolated from a hypersaline lake in Inner Mongolia, China
(BioMed Central, 2007)
Background: We are profoundly ignorant about the diversity of viruses that infect the domain
Archaea. Less than 100 have been identified and described and very few of these have had their
genomic sequences determined. ...
