Characterisation of the inorganic chemistry of surface waters in South Africa
(Water Research Commission, 2011)The main purpose of this study was to determine a simple inorganic chemistry index that can be used for all surface waters in South Africa, in order to characterise the inorganic chemistry of surface waters. Water quality ... -
Characterisation of the SULT1A1 polymorphism in a South African Tswana population group
(North-West University, 2010)This dissertation brings to the fore the “Characterization of the SULT1A1 polymorphism in a South Africa Tswana population group.” The primary experimental group studied came from South African homogeneous Tswana individuals ... -
Characterisation of the uranium tetrafluoride unburnt materials using non-destructive assay techniques for safeguards purposes
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Inspectors use non-destructive assaying (NDA) techniques for verification measurements of safeguarded nuclear materials. The NDA techniques help the International Atomic Energy Agency to verify all declared nuclear materials ... -

Characterisation of thermal radiation in the near-wall region of a packed pebble bed
(2014)The heat transfer phenomena in the near-wall region of a randomly packed pebble bed are important in the design of a Pebble Bed Reactor (PBR), especially when considering the safety case during accident conditions. At ... -
Characterisation of vadose zone processes in a tailings facility
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)The undisclosed mining company in Limpopo Province, where the study is undertaken, is one of the world’s most accomplished copper mines. The waste dumps onsite (tailings storage facilities in particular) are known to provide ... -
Characterisation of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris isolates from South Africa using genomic DNA fingerprinting and pathogenicity tests
(Springer, 2012)The genetic diversity of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris isolates from South Africa was evaluated using 28 isolates obtained from the Johannesburg Fresh Produce Market. Samples were collected from cabbage supplies ... -
Characterisation of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris isolates from South Africa using genomic DNA fingerprinting and pathogenicity tests
(North-West University, 2011)Black rot caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (X. c pv. campestris) is a major disease constraint to cabbage production. The control of black rot is difficult and resistant cultivars could play an important ... -
Characterisation tools development for PEM electrolysers
(Elsevier, 2014)Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), current interrupt (CI) and current mapping (CM) were investigated as in-situ characterisation tools for PEM electrolysers. A 25 cm2 cell with titanium anode and carbon cathode ... -
Characterisation, classification and suitability evaluation of agricultural soils of selected communities located along various river systems in Bayelsa State, Southern Nigeria
(North-West University (South Africa), 2018)"Abstract not copied" -
Characterisation, toxicology and clinical effects of crocodile oil in skin products
(North-West University, 2012)Natural oils are regularly used in cosmetics and as treatment for numeral skin conditions (Nielsen, 2006:575). The natural products industry is a multibillion dollar industry and has grown tremendously over the past few ... -
Characterising HCI principles for evaluating the user experience of a serious game
(North-West University, 2016)Serious games as a viable learning medium have been documented in the literature. The challenge for serious game developers is to put careful thought into the design of these types of video games so as to deliver fun and ... -
Characterising indoor airborne particulate matter in Sharpeville, Gauteng
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Solid fuel use for domestic purposes is a significant air quality and health challenge within low-income settlements in South Africa. Fuels such as coal, wood and other “dirty” household energy carriers (including paraffin ... -
Characterising indoor and ambient particulate matter in Kwazamokuhle, Mpumalanga
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)KwaZamokuhle is typical of the townships home to a large portion of South Africans. If the air quality here can be understood, it may help researchers find better solutions to poor air quality including particulate matter ... -
Characterising non-structural protein NS4 of African horse sickness virus
(Public Library of Science, 2015)African horse sickness is a serious equid disease caused by the orbivirus African horse sickness virus (AHSV). The virus has ten double-stranded RNA genome segments encoding seven structural and three non-structural proteins. ... -
Characterising particulate organic nitrogen at a savannah-grassland region in South Africa
(MDPI, 2019)Although atmospheric organic N compounds are considered to be important, especially in new particle formation and their contribution to brown carbon, these species are not that well understood. This can be partially ... -
