Applications of computational methods in biomedical Breast cancer imaging diagnostics: A review
(MDPI, 2020)
With the exponential increase in new cases coupled with an increased mortality rate,
cancer has ranked as the second most prevalent cause of death in the world. Early detection is
paramount for suitable diagnosis and ...
Inhibition of bacteria associated with wound infection by biocompatible green synthesized gold nanoparticles from South African plant extracts
(MDPI, 2017)
Unlike conventional physical and chemical methods, the biogenic synthesis of gold
nanoparticles (GNPs) is considered a green and non-toxic approach to produce biocompatible
GNPs that can be utilized in various biomedical ...
Factors influencing pigment production by halophilic bacteria and its effect on brine evaporation rates
(Wiley, 2018)
The disposal of reject brine, a highly concentrated
waste by-product generated by various industrial
processes, represents a major economic and environmental
challenge. The common practice in dealing
with the large ...
Molecular adaptation mechanisms employed by ethanologenic bacteria in response to lignocellulose-derived inhibitory compounds
(Ivyspring, 2013)
Current international interest in finding alternative sources of energy to the diminishing supplies of
fossil fuels has encouraged research efforts in improving biofuel production technologies. In
countries which lack ...
Genetic variation and population structure of Botswana populations as identified with AmpFLSTR Identifiler short tandem repeat (STR) loci
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-07-28)
Population structure was investigated in 990 Botswana individuals according to ethno-linguistics, Bantu and Khoisan, and geography (the nine administrative districts) using the Identifiler autosomal microsatellite markers. ...
Modulation of antioxidant enzyme activities and metabolites ratios by nitric oxide in short-term salt stressed soybean root nodules
(Elsevier, 2013)
Several abiotic factors cause molecular damage to plants either directly or through the accumulation of reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). We investigated if application of nitric oxide (NO) donor ...
Balancing redox cofactor generation and ATP synthesis: key microaerobic responses in thermophilic fermentations
(Wiley, 2013)
Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius is a Grampositive, thermophilic bacterium capable of ethanologenic fermentation of both C5 and C6 sugars and may have possible use for commercial bioethanol production [Tang et al., 2009; ...
Nitric oxide (NO) regulates the expression of single-domain cystatins in glycine max (soybean)
(Southern Cross Publishing, 2013)
Plant cystatins inhibit cysteine proteases and are important in regulating plant development and plant responses to biotic and abiotic stress. Furthermore, nitric oxide plays a signaling role in regulating plant responses ...
Cross-sectional study of prevalence and determinants of uncontrolled hypertension among South African adult residents of Mkhondo municipality
(Springer Nature, 2020)
Achieving the blood pressure treatment target in individuals with hypertension is a serious global health challenge. Furthermore, the actual burden of uncontrolled hypertension is poorly understood, especially in the ...
Assessment of temporal and spatial evolution of bacterial communities in a biological sand filter mesocosm treating winery wastewater
(The Society for Applied Microbiology, 2013)
AIMS: To assess the impact of winery wastewater (WW) on biological sand filter (BSF) bacterial community structures, and to evaluate whether BSFs can constitute alternative and valuable treatment-processes to remediate WW. ...
