Capture zone simulation for boreholes located in fractured dykes using the linesink concept
(Water Research Commission, 2002)
Delineation of capture zones for groundwater source protection is normally performed by using numerical codes which are based
on the porous medium flow equation. However, boreholes are often sited in or along permeable ...
Alteration of Bax-to-Bcl-2 ratio modulates the anticancer activity of methanolic extract of Commelina benghalensis (Commelinaceae) in Jurkat T cells
(Academic Journals, 2008)
Stem extracts of Commelina benghalensis (Linn.), although not extensively documented, are frequently
used in traditional medicine for the treatment of ailments such as skin malformations and outgrowths.
Accordingly, the ...
Efficient molecular cloning of environmental DNA from geothermal sediments
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2002)
An efficient and simple method for constructing an environmental library using mechanically sheared DNA obtained
directly from geothermal sediments is presented. The method is based on blunt-end modification of DNA
fragments ...
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 ...
Of sea bamboo, split fan kelp and bladder kelp: three common kelp species of the Cape Peninsula and West Coast
(Botanical Society of South Africa, 2001)
The third part in our series on the common intertidal seaweeds of the Cape Peninsula looks at the kelps, the giant brown seaweeds that occur in the subtidal and intertidal gullies of the Cape Peninsula and the west coast. ...
Dissemination and survival of non-indigenous bacterial genomes in pristine Antarctic environments.
(Springer Verlag, 2005)
Continental Antarctic is perceived as a largely pristine environment, although certain localized regions (e.g., parts of the Ross Dependency Dry Valleys) are relatively heavy impacted by human activities. The procedures ...
Adapting x264 to asynchronous video telephony for the Deaf
(Telkom, 2008)
Deaf people want to communicate remotely with sign language. Sign language requires sufficient video quality to be intelligible. Internet-based real-time video tools do not provide that quality. Our approach is to use ...
Of dead man's fingers, cord weed and hanging wrack: common brown seaweeds of the Cape Peninsula
(Botanical Society of South Africa, 2000)
In this, the second in the series on common intertidal seaweeds of the Cape Peninsula, we look at the brown seaweeds common to our rocky shores, with the exception of kelp, which will be covered in the next issue of Veld ...

This newsletter has criteria for the development of a popular article.
Of purple laver, tongue weed and hedgehog seaweed: common red seaweeds of the Cape Peninsula
(Botanical Society of South Africa, 2001)
The fourth part of our series on the common intertidal seaweeds of the Cape Peninsula looks at the red seaweeds, which form by far the largest group of seaweeds on the Peninsula and dominate the mid to lower intertidal ...
