The fuel of unparalleled recovery: Monetary policy in South Africa between 1925 and 1936
(Routledge, 2021)The newly established South African Reserve Bank (SARB) was tasked to protect the currency by navigating the interwar gold standard, and, from March 1933, maintaining parity with the Pound Sterling. We find that South ... -
A full treatment of peculiar velocities on the reionization light cone
(Oxford Academic, 2019)Accurate simulations of the 21-cm signal from the Epoch of Reionization require the generation of maps at specific frequencies given the values of astrophysical and cosmological parameters. The peculiar velocities of the ... -
Full-sky bispectrum in redshift space for 21cm intensity maps
(IOP Publishing, 2020)We compute the tree-level bispectrum of 21cm intensity mapping after reionisation. We work in directly observable angular and redshift space, focusing on equal-redshift correlations and thin redshift bins, for which the ... -
A fumonisins immunosensor based on polyanilino-carbon nanotubes doped with palladium telluride quantum dots
(MDPI, 2015)An impedimetric immunosensor for fumonisins was developed based on poly(2,5-dimethoxyaniline)-multi-wall carbon nanotubes doped with palladium telluride quantum dots onto a glassy carbon surface. The composite was assembled ... -
Functional and structural analysis of predicted proteins obtained from homo sapiens' minisatellite 33.15-tagged transcript pAKT-45 variants
(Hindawi, 2020)The spermatozoa are transcriptionally dormant entities which have been recognized to be an archive of mRNA, coding for a variety of functionally crucial cellular proteins. This significant repository of mRNA is predicted ... -
Functional landscape of SARS-CoV-2 cellular restriction
(Cell Press, 2021)A deficient interferon (IFN) response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been implicated as a determinant of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). To identify the molecular ... -
Functional metal oxides synthesized using natural extracts from waste maize materials
(Elsevier, 2021)We show in this article the possibilities of employing an environmentally friendly, uncomplicated, economical and sustainable green synthesis technique effected by natural extracts from waste maize (zea mays lea) materials to ... -
Functional outcomes of stroke patients admitted to a tertiary hospital in the Western Cape, South Africa
(AOSIS Publishing, 2013)Individuals with stroke often experience functional limitations such as the inability to walk independently. There are several factors that are associated with functional outcome post stroke. The aim of the study was ... -
Functional prediction of candidate micrornas for CRC management using in silico approach
(MDPI, 2019)Approximately 30–50% of malignant growths can be prevented by avoiding risk factors and implementing evidence-based strategies. Colorectal cancer (CRC) accounted for the second most common cancer and the third most common ... -
The functioning of ward committees: Challenges and prospects
(Dullah Omar Institute, 2007)Ward committees were formally introduced in 2000, and many municipalities soon commenced the process of establishing them. The establishment rate of ward committees across the country now stands at over 90% and is growing, ... -
The functus officio doctrine and invalid administrative acts in South African administrative law: the demand for a more flexible approach
(Nelson R Mandela School of Law, 2020)In South African administrative law, the issue of invalid administrative action in relation to the application of the doctrine of functus officio has brooked a fair amount of debate. Whilst the courts have attempted to ... -
Fundamental physics with the square kilometre array
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is a planned large radio interferometer designed to operate over a wide range of frequencies, and with an order of magnitude greater sensitivity and survey speed than any current radio ... -
Fundamentals of anti-bribery and anti-corruption compliance in South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2019)Corruption is endemic in jurisdictions throughout the world. The financial and reputational risks that follow incidents of corrupt activity within an organisation are considerable. Often they can be quite severe. The ... -
Funding as a crisis for mature women students: Agency, barriers and widening participation
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)Drawing on a research investigation into the learning pathways of mature women, this chapter highlights funding as a crisis. Mature women students face barriers to access, participation and success in higher education. ... -
Fungal‑derived compounds and mycogenic nanoparticles with antimycobacterial activity: a review
(Springer, 2022)Tuberculosis (TB) is a persistent lung infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The disease is characterized by high mortality rates of over 1 million per year. Unfortunately, the potency and efectiveness of currently ... -
Further evidence for periodontal disease as a risk indicator for adverse pregnancy outcomes
(Elsevier, 2017)Although there is increasing evidence to suggest an association between periodontal disease and adverse pregnancy outcomes, the issue remains controversial. Study objective: This study tested the hypothesis that ... -
Further from the people – bipartisan ‘nationalisation’ thwarting the electoral system
(SUN Press, 2012)This chapter argues that local government elections offer a unique opportunity in South Africa’s political system for voters to practice forms of democracy that are more local, plural and accountable in character than at ... -
Further observations of Hipparcos red stars and standards for UBV(RI)C photometry
(Oxford University Press, 2007)We present homogeneous and standardized UBV(RI)C JHK photometry for over 100 M stars selected from an earlier paper on the basis of apparent photometric constancy. L photometry has been obtained for stars brighter than ... -
Fusion-assisted hydrothermal synthesis and post-synthesis modification of mesoporous hydroxy sodalite zeolite prepared from waste coal fly ash for biodiesel production
