The performance of photometric reverberation mapping at high redshift and the reliability of damped random walk models
(Oxford University Press, 2020)
Accurate methods for reverberation mapping using photometry are highly sought after since
they are inherently less resource intensive than spectroscopic techniques. However, the effectiveness
of photometric reverberation ...
Intellectual laziness and academic dishonesty: A threat to academic freedom?
(South African Assn. For The Advancement Of Science, 2020)
Academic freedom freedom matters; it matters a great deal. It is a sine qua non for the the success of our science system . When scientists scientists invoke academic academic freedom whenever they they are are expected ...
Dynamic changes and sensitivity of water area of Huixiankarst wetland
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2020)
Affected by human activities and natural factors, the area of the Huixian karst
wetland has been shrinking in recent years. As the main data source, Landsat5 TM remote
sensing image was used to analyze the trend of wetland ...
Updates and advances to the FAO56 crop water requirements method
(Elsevier, 2021)
This study reviews the abundant research on FAO56 crop coefficients, published following introduction ofthe FAO56 paper in 1998. The primary goal was to evaluate, update, and consolidate the mid-season andend-season single ...
Assessing the adverse effects of a mixture of AMD and sewage effluent on a sub-tropical dam situated in a nature conservation area using a modified pollution index
(Springer Nature, 2021)
Currently water resources in nature conservation areas are under severe pressure due to external drivers of anthropogenic pollution. There is a lack of monitoring tools to determine water quality status of dams situated ...
The use of factor analysis and acid base accounting to probe the speciation of toxic metals in gold mine waste
(Springer Nature, 2020)
The generation of acidic drainage has become pervasive over the years and toxic elements are released due to exposure to oxidising agents, unforeseen circumstances, and human interactions. Uncontrolled acidic mine drainage ...
Quantitative study on the changes of Karst groundwater level and hydrochemistry in Jinci spring catchment, Shanxi, China
(Springer Nature, 2020)
Since Jinci spring ceased to flow on April 30, 1994, it has never been reflowed, which seriously affects the sustainable utilization of karst groundwater. The purpose of this paper is to provide the basis for the reflow ...
Hydrocarbon generation and migration from Barremian – Aptian source rocks, Northern Orange Basin, offshore Western South Africa: A 3d numerical modelling study
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2021)
A 3D numerical modelling workflow was applied to the Barremian—Aptian source rock interval in a shelfal to lower slope area of the northern Orange Basin, offshore western South Africa. The main objective was to investigate ...
Dating detrital zircon from the gold-bearing Ventersdorp contact reef in the Ventersdorp supergroup of South Africa
(Elsevier, 2021)
The Ventersdorp Contact Reef (VCR) at the base of the >4.5 km-thick volcanosedimentary Ventersdorp Supergroup unconformably overlies the Witwatersrand Supergroup and is the second youngest mineable reef in the Witwatersrand ...
Modelling water utilization patterns in apple orchards with varying canopy sizes and different growth stages in semi-arid environments
(Elsevier, 2021)
Accurate estimates of orchard evapotranspiration (ET) and its components are important for precise irrigation scheduling, irrigation system designs, and optimal on-farm water allocation particularly in water-limited ...
