How age and sex affect treatment outcomes for children with severe malnutrition: A multi-country secondary data analysis
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2023)Age and sex influence the risk of childhood wasting. We aimed to determine if wasting treatment outcomes differ by age and sex in children under 5 years, enroled in therapeutic and supplementary feeding programmes. Utilising ... -
IC and RC band time-series observations of some bright ultracool dwarfs
(Oxford University Press, 2005)The results of more than 100 h of CCD photometric monitoring of 10 L dwarfs and two T dwarfs are presented. Reasonable evidence is shown for IC band variability in DENIS 0255−4700, DENIS 1705−0516 and 2M 2104−1037. ... -
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 ... -

Is there evolution in the infrared Tully–Fisher relation? Comparing two linear regressions
(Oxford University Press, 2009)In a recent paper, Puech and co-workers compared K-band Tully–Fisher relations derived for nearby and distant galaxies, respectively. They concluded that the two relations differ, and deduced that there is evolution in ... -
JHKs time-series observations of a few ultracool dwarfs
(Oxford University Press, 2005)The M8.5 object SSSPM J0109−5101 has recently been shown to be both a periodic and a flaring variable, based on optical observations in the extreme red. More than 16 h of monitoring in the near-infrared (NIR) reported ... -
JL 82: a slowly pulsating hot subdwarf star in a close binary system
(Oxford University Press, 2009)JL 82 is a known binary, consisting of an sdB star and a companion which is not directly observable in the optical. Photometric measurements reported in this paper show it to variable with both the binary period (∼0.75 ... -
KPD 0629–0016, a slowly pulsating hot subdwarf star
(Oxford University Press, 2007)The results of nine CCD photometric observing runs on KPD 0629–0016 are presented. During six of the runs measurements were obtained alternately through B and V filters. Four periodicities, for which there is good agreement ... -
La migration ouvrière dans le secteur agricole sud-africain
(Cité nationale de l'histoire de l'immigration, 2013)En Afrique du Sud, le système de production agricole, concentré dans les mains des fermiers blancs, repose toujours sur l’utilisation des migrations des ouvriers agricoles. Si la fin de l’apartheid a permis la création ... -

(Taylor & Francis, 2018)OBJECTIVE: International guidelines for pre-participation screening of masters/leisure athletes to identify those that require medical assessment exist, but have not been implemented in mass-community based sports events. ... -
Linking multi-epoch CCD photometry of partially overlapping fields
(Oxford University Press, 2013)A common problem in CCD photometry is to combine measurements obtained at different epochs. This is especially challenging if the fields only overlap partially, and are sparse, so that not all calibrating stars are ... -
