An insight into the reproductive biology of the bearded goby Sufflogobius bibarbatus
(Wiley, 2013)Preliminary results obtained from histological analyses of the male reproductive organs, supplemented with field and behavioural data, indicate that Sufflogobius bibarbatus, a small, slow growing gobiid exhibiting low ... -
Insights into innovative therapeutics for drug-resistant tuberculosis: Host-directed therapy and autophagy inducing modified nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2022)Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the deadliest communicable dis- eases caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) since its discovery in the 1880s (Cambau and Drancourt, 2014; Singh et al., 2020). Over 1 billion mortalities ... -
Insights into the use and affordances of social and collaborative applications for student projects
(South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 2017)The use of social and collaborative computing has the potential of assisting learning and improving the ability to work together as part of a team. Team work is a graduate attribute that students need to acquire before ... -
Instant Messaging on handhelds: affective feedback
(Telkom, 2004)A text only Instant Messaging (IM) built on the IETF open standard SIP/SIMPLE has been developed in line with our proposed introduction of a user-defined text Hotkey feature. These act as an on-click Affective Gesture (AG): ... -
Instant messaging on handhelds: an affective gesture approach
(SAICSIT in association with ACM, 2005)Text communication can be perceived as lacking in chat spontaneity, or plastic, due to medium limitations during interaction. A form of text messaging, Instant Messaging (IM), is now on the uptake, even on mobile handhelds. ... -
The Institute for Microbial Biotechnology and Metagenomics 2009
(UWC, 2010-01)The IMBM Brochure (2009) provides a summary of the staffing, activities and outputs of the Institute for the 2009 academic year -
Instrumental techniques for characterization of molybdenum disulphide nanostructures
(Hindawi, 2020)The excellent chemical and physical properties of materials (nanomaterials) with dimensions of less than 100 nm (nanometers) resulted in researchers and industrialists to have great interest in their discovery and applications ... -
Intact HIV proviruses persist in children seven to nine years after initiation of antiretroviral therapy in the first year of life
(American Society for Microbiology, 2020)In adults starting antiretroviral therapy (ART) during acute infection, 2% of proviruses that persist on ART are genetically intact by sequence analysis. In contrast, a recent report in children treated early failed to ... -
An integrated and comparative approach towards identification, characterization and functional annotation of candidate genes for drought tolerance in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench)
(BioMed Central, 2017)BACKGROUND: Drought is the most disastrous abiotic stress that severely affects agricultural productivity worldwide. Understanding the biological basis of drought-regulated traits, requires identification and an in-depth ... -
An integrated approach of reservoir characterization of Y gas feld in central Bredasdorp Basin, South Africa
(Springer, 2022)The study attempts to address the knowledge gap in the Bredasdorp Basin Ofshore South Africa by using newly acquired seismic data with an enhanced resolution, integrating core and well log to provide a solution. The main ... -
Integrating RADAR and optical imagery improve the modelling of carbon stocks in a mopane-dominated African savannah dry forest
(Wiley, 2022-12-25)This study examined the integration of two satellite data sets, that is Landsat 7 ETM+ and ALOS PALSAR (Advanced Land Observing Satellite Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture RADAR) in estimating carbon stocks in ... -
Integration of hydrogeophysical and geological investigations in enhancing groundwater potential assessment in Houtriver gneiss crystalline basement formation of South Africa
(Elsevier, 2021)Groundwater exploration in crystalline basement aquifers such as the Houtriver gneiss formation in the Limpopo province of South Africa is often described as complex. This is because groundwater availability in such aquifers ... -
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 ... -
Intelligent transportation related complex systems and sensors
(MPDI, 2021)Building around innovative services related to different modes of transport and traffic management, intelligent transport systems (ITSs) are being widely adopted worldwide to improve the efficiency and safety of the ... -
Inter-Seasonal Estimation of Grass Water Content Indicators Using Multisource Remotely Sensed Data Metrics and the Cloud-Computing Google Earth Engine Platform
(MDPI, 2023)Indicators of grass water content (GWC) have a significant impact on eco-hydrological processes such as evapotranspiration and rainfall interception. Several site-specific factors such as seasonal precipitation, temperature, ... -
Interacting dark energy from redshift-space galaxy clustering
(IOP Publishing, 2021)Interacting dark energy models have been proposed as attractive alternatives to CDM. Forthcoming Stage-IV galaxy clustering surveys will constrain these models, but they require accurate modelling of the galaxy power ... -
Interaction analysis of statistically enriched mutations identified in Cameroon recombinant subtype CRF02_AG that can influence the development of Dolutegravir drug resistance mutations
(BMC, 2021)The Integrase (IN) strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI), Dolutegravir (DTG), has been given the green light to form part of first-line combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) by the World Health Organization (WHO). ... -
Intercolony variation in reproductive skipping in the African penguin
(Wiley Open Access, 2022)In long-lived species, reproductive skipping is a common strategy whereby sexually mature animals skip a breeding season, potentially reducing population growth. This may be an adaptive decision to protect survival, or ... -
