Neuroprotective Activities of Crossyne flava Bulbs and Amaryllidaceae Alkaloids: Implications for Parkinson’s Disease
(MDPI, 2021)Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases and affects approximately 6.3 million people worldwide. To date, the treatment of PD remains a challenge, as available treatment options are ... -
Neuroprotective activities of crossyne flava bulbs and amaryllidaceae alkaloids: Implications for parkinson’s disease
(Molecules, 2021)Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases and affects approximately 6.3 million people worldwide. To date, the treatment of PD remains a challenge, as available treatment options are ... -
The neutral hydrogen content of galaxies in cosmological hydrodynamic simulations
(Oxford University Press, 2013)We examine the global HI properties of galaxies in quarter billion particle cosmological simulations using GADGET-2, focusing on howgalactic outflows impactHI content.We consider four outflow models, including a new one ... -
Nevirapine plasma concentrations in premature infants exposed to single-dose nevirapine for prevention of mother-tochild transmission of HIV-1
(Health and Medical Publishing Group, 2011)Background: No pharmacokinetic data exist for premature infants receiving single-dose nevirapine (sd NVP) for prevention of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV. Aim: To describe NVP decay pharmacokinetics in two ... -
The new 6th edition of the WHO laboratory manual for the examination and processing of human semen: Is it a step toward better standard operating procedure?
(Shanghai Institute Materia Medica, 2021)Semen analysis (SA) remains the cornerstone of male infertility evaluation and should ideally be performed by an accredited andrology laboratory or in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinics based on the standards defined ... -
A new auroral phenomenon, the anti-black aurora
(Nature, 2021)Black auroras are small-scale features embedded in the diffuse background aurora, typically occurring post-substorm after magnetic midnight and with an eastward drift imposed. Black auroras show a significant reduction in ... -
New constraints on primordial features from the galaxy two-point correlation function
(Physical Review, 2023)Features in the primordial power spectrum represent the imprinted signal in the density perturbations of the physics and evolution of the early Universe. A measurement of such signals will represents the need to go beyond ... -
New formulas for the (−2) moment of the photoabsorption cross section, σ−2
(American Physical Society, 2015)Two new formulas for the (−2) moment of the photoabsorption cross section, σ−2, have been determined, respectively, from the 1988 photoneutron evaluation of Dietrich and Berman and a mass-dependent symmetry energy ... -
New imino-pyridyl nickel (II) complexes: synthesis, molecular structures and application as Heck coupling catalysts
(Elsevier, 2012)Reactions of imino-pyridyl ligands, (2-pyridyl-2-thiophenemethyl)imine (L1) and (2-pyridyl-2-thiopheneethyl)imine (L2) with NiBr2(DME) gave the corresponding complexes [Ni(L1)Br2] (1) and [Ni(L2)Br2] (2) in good yields. ... -
New insights in the evaluation of reserves of selected wells of the Pletmos Basin offshore South Africa
(One Petro, 2016)The area evaluated has similar structural styles and settings as the producing neighboring fields of F-A and E-M in the adjacent Bredasdorp basin Offshore South Africa. The main objective of this study is to create a ... -
A new macromedusa from the coast of Mozambique: Aurelia mozambica sp. nov. (Scyphozoa: Ulmaridae)
(Magnolia Press, 2021)A new species of the cosmopolitan jellyfish genus Aurelia is described from the coastal waters of Mozambique using a combination of morphological, meristic and genetic information (COI and 18S). The species can be separated ... -
A New Model For Including Galactic Winds in Simulations of Galaxy Formation II: Implementation of PhEW in Cosmological Simulations
(Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021)Although galactic winds play a critical role in regulating galaxy formation, hydrodynamic cosmological simulations do not resolve the scales that govern the interaction between winds and the ambient circumgalactic medium ... -
A new model for including galactic winds in simulations of galaxy formation – I. Introducing the Physically Evolved Winds (PhEW) model
(Oxford University Press, 2020-07-08)The propagation and evolution of cold galactic winds in galactic haloes is crucial to galaxy formation models. However, modelling of this process in hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy formation is oversimplified owing to ... -
A new modified spatial approach for monitoring non-perennial river water availability using remote sensing in the Tankwa Karoo, Western Cape, South Africa
(AJOL, 2021)Non-perennial rivers (N-PRs) make up two thirds of all rivers in South Africa, yet many are ungauged. Traditionally, it has been assumed that when a flow is recorded, there is water throughout that river. These assumptions ... -
New observations on the diel vertical distribution of Hydromedusae in the southern Benguela ecosystem
(NISC (Pty) Ltd and Taylor& Francis, 2003)Diel vertical migration (DVM) of six common species of hydromedusae was investigated during two drogue studies conducted in St Helena Bay on the west coast of South Africa in February 1995. Clytia spp., Obelia spp. and ... -
