Characterising the metabolic differences related to growth variation in farmed Haliotis midae
(Elsevier, 2018)The South African abalone farming industry is entirely based on Haliotis midae, which has been commercially cultured with great success the last 20 years. Even though abalone are cultivated under identical farming conditions, ... -
Characterising the scale and significance of persistent organic pollutants in South African sediments
(North-West University, 2010)Water resources in South Africa are scarce, and should therefore be protected against pollutants, also from persistent organic pollutants (POPs). POPs are a global concern due to their ubiquitous presence, persistence ... -
Characterising the VHE diffuse emission in the central 200 parsecs of our Galaxy with H.E.S.S.
(EDP Sciences, 2018)The diffuse very high-energy (VHE; >100 GeV) γ-ray emission observed in the central 200 pc of the Milky Way by H.E.S.S. was found to follow dense matter distribution in the central molecular zone (CMZ) up to a longitudinal ... -
Characterising tuberculosis and treatment failure thereof using metabolomics
(North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2017., 2017)Tuberculosis (TB), a highly contagious bacterial disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is considered the leading cause of death globally from a single bacterial pathogen. The latest reports indicate 10.4 million ... -
Characterising tuberculosis treatment success and failure using metabolomics
(North-West University, 2013)Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the deadliest infectious diseases of our time, with 1.4 million deaths globally, recorded in 2010 (3800 deaths a day) by the World Health Organization (WHO). Currently, South Africa ranks third ... -
Characteristic behaviour of pebble bed high temperature gas–cooled reactors during water ingress events
(North-West University, 2012)The effect of water ingress in two pebble bed high temperature gas-cooled reactors i.e. the PBMR-200 MWthermal and the PBMR-400 MWthermal were simulated and compared using the VSOP 99/05 suite of codes. To investigate the ... -
Characteristic function-based inference for GARCH models with heavy-tailed innovations
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)We consider estimation and goodness-of-fit tests in GARCH models with innovations following a heavy-tailed and possibly asymmetric distribution. Although the method is fairly general and applies to GARCH models with arbitrary ... -
Characteristics and transport of atmospheric aerosols over the Namibian coast
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)It is well understood that on various scales in the atmosphere, the transport, dispersion, accumulation, transformation and deposition of aerosols is driven by atmospheric dynamics, meteorological conditions and topographical ... -
The characteristics of a missional church as part of the Missio Dei
(2012)The GKSA seems to be in a weak condition concerning the Missio Dei. There is a drastic decline in membership, a weak impact on society and a crisis in following our calling. This study aims to explore the relationship ... -
The characteristics of an abstract system for the transfer of property in South African law as distinguished from a casual system
(2012)Two divergent systems are usually differentiated between when it comes to the way in which real rights are transferred from one person to another, namely abstract and causal systems. In this article the features of each ... -

(NWU, 2012)Two divergent systems are usually differentiated between when it comes to the way in which real rights are transferred from one person to another, namely abstract and causal systems. In this article the features of each ... -
Characteristics of antibiotic resistant bacteria in raw and drinking water from water production facilities
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Water is a limited resource, and the quality of raw water has an impact on drinking water production. Regular testing is done to ensure that the quality is compliant with regulations. Heterotrophic bacteria are widely used ... -
Characteristics of columnar aerosol optical and microphysical properties retrieved from the sun photometer and its impact on radiative forcing over Skukuza (South Africa) during 1999-2010
(Springer, 2017)The detailed analysis of columnar optical and microphysical properties of aerosols obtained from the AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET) Cimel sun photometer operated at Skukuza (24.98° S, 31.60° E, 150 m above sea level), ... -
The characteristics of compassionate care during childbirth according to midwives: a qualitative descriptive inquiry
(BMC, 2020)Abstract Background: Although compassion is considered to be of prime importance in nursing and midwifery, there is no clear understanding of what compassionate care in childbirth entails, and how midwives perceive ... -
Characteristics of hailstorms over the South-African highveld
(North-West University, 2018)Extreme hail has been among the most costly of natural disasters in South-Africa. Despite the havoc that hail is known to cause, we have limited knowledge about these spatially and temporally rare events and how they are ... -
The characteristics of kind and compassionate care during childbirth according to midwives
(North-West University, 2018)Background: Although compassion is considered to be of prime importance in nursing and midwifery care, there is no clear understanding of what compassionate care in childbirth entails, and how midwives’ perceive compassionate ... -
The characteristics of underreporting women in the POWIRS II study
(North-West University, 2006)It is now widely recognized that reported energy intakes in dietary surveys underestimate usual energy intake (Black et al., 1993). During this study specific subject characteristics contributing to under reporting and the ... -
Characterization and imaging of lead distribution in bones of lead-exposed birds by ICP-MS and LA-ICP-MS
(Elsevier, 2018)Lead (Pb) poisoning in raptors and water birds is a serious problem in many countries. However, only a small fraction of Pb poisoning has been detected in birds. Bone specimens may be useful indices of Pb exposure because ... -
