Bridging communications across the digital divide
(CTIT, 2004)
Connecting people across the Digital Divide is as much a social effort as a technological one. We are developing a community-centered approach to learn how interaction techniques can compensate for poor communication across ...
The search for the ideal biocatalyst
(Nature Publishing Group, 2002)
While the use of enzymes as biocatalysts to assist in the industrial manufacture of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals has enormous potential, application is frequently limited by evolution-led catalyst traits. The advent ...
The upper temperature for life – where do we draw the line?
(Elsevier, 2004)
The newly isolated hyperthermophilic archaeal strain 121
grows slowly at 121 8C and even survives short periods at
130 8C. This is another organism that grows best at
temperatures well in excess of 100 8C! We should not ...
Non-specificity of Staphylococcus generic primers
(Society for General Microbiology, 2003)
Our results allow us to conclude that there
appears to be significant conservation
between the tuf genes of Planococcus,
Planomicrobium and Staphylococcus
spp., and that although the primer set
TstaG422/TStag765 has ...
Estimation of recharge using a revised CRD method
(Water Research Commission, 2001)
The cumulative rainfall departure (CRD) method, based on the water-balance principle, is often used for mimicking of
water level fluctuations. Because of its simplicity and minimal requirement of spatial data, the CRD ...
Taxonomy of rhodolith-forming species of Lithophyllum (Corallinales; Rhodophyta) from Espírito Santo State, Brazil
(International Phycological Society, 2009)
The taxonomy of the rhodolith-forming species of Lithophyllum (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) found from Espirito Santo State, Brazil, were evaluated based on extensive subtidal sampling. A comparative analysis of the Brazilian ...
Developing locally relevant applications for rural areas: a South African example
(SAICSIT, in assocation with ACM, 2004)
The digital divide between rural and urban areas within developing countries is vast. We investigate how to address this divide by introducing Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) into remote rural areas. Our ...
Floor control arbitration for a hybrid voice/text web-board
(Telkom, 2003)
We have built a hybrid voice/text web–board that utilizes floor control for handling resources such as microphone and interface events. The aim of this research is to determine the most appropriate floor control mechanism ...
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 ...
