Conservation of fishes in the Elands River, Mpumalanga, South Africa: past, present and future
(AOSIS, 2014)In an isolated reach, between two large natural waterfalls in the Elands River in Mpumalanga, populations of a critically endangered Kneria sp., the endangered Chiloglanis bifurcus and a genetically unique population of ... -
Conservation of fragmented grasslands as part of the urban green infrastructure: how important are species diversity, functional diversity and landscape functionality?
(Springer, 2015)Natural remnants, such as fragmented grasslands form an integral part of the urban green infrastructure in the Grassland biome of South Africa. Nearly 30 % of natural grasslands are transformed with only 1 % formally ... -
Conservation of scattered energy and asymmetry factor in the new Rotationally Symmetric Spherical Discretisation scheme
(Elsevier, 2016)A Rotationally Symmetric Spherical Discretisation (RSSD) technique has recently been developed for the discretisation of scattering phase functions in the Discrete Ordinates Method (DOM) in a consistent and rational manner. ... -
Conservation of the coding regions of the glycine N-acyltransferase gene further suggests that glycine conjugation is an essential detoxification pathway
(Elsevier, 2015)Thorough investigation of the glycine conjugation pathway has been neglected. No defect of the glycine conjugation pathway has been reported and this could reflect the essential role of glycine conjugation in hepatic ... -
A conservation organisation’s approach to COVID-19 : lessons learned from Madagascar
(OASIS, 2022)Blue Ventures (BV) works holistically with communities in Madagascar, developing transformative approaches to catalyse and sustain locally led marine conservation. In response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ... -
The conservation status of eagles in South African law
(2013)This contribution is an introductory survey and preliminary evaluation of the conservation status of eagles in South African law. The methodology is primarily an interdisciplinary literature study of legal texts and texts ... -
Conservation status of Stenostelma umbelluliferum and its implications for management of biodiversity
(Elsevier, 2020)Stenostelma umbelluliferum is an enigmatic plant that has elicited much attention in recent years. Initially thought to be extinct, its rediscovery in an urban area created turmoil in both conservation management and urban ... -
Conserved quantities and solutions of a (2+1)-dimensional H a ˇ r a ˇ gus-Courcelle–Il’ichev model
(Elsevier, 2016)In this paper we study a (2+1)-dimensional Ha?ra?gus-Courcelle-Il'ichev equation (HCI) that models gravity-capillary and flexural-gravity waves. This equation is a generalization of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation, and ... -
Conserved quantities, optimal systems and explicit solutions of certain partial differential equations
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)In this thesis we study nine nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs) from the point of view of classical Lie point symmetries and conserved quantities. These equations of choice have real world applications, ... -
Conserved vectors and analytic solutions of potential Kadomtsev-Petviashvili and Korteweg-de Vries-like equations
(North-West University (South Africa), 2023)In this work, we study three nonlinear partial differential equations that are used to simulate a variety of physical processes in science. As an example of what will be done in this dissertation, we start off by looking ... -
Conserved vectors, symmetry reductions and solutions for some nonlinear partial differential equations
(North-West University (South Africa), 2022)In this thesis, Lie group analysis is utilized to examine a number of higher-order nonlinear partial differential equations (NPDEs). Additionally, conserved vectors for these NPDEs are derived. The equations addressed ... -
A consideration of IFRS education and acceptance from culturally diverse backgrounds: a South African perspective
(Clute Institute for Academic Research, 2011)Accountancy's double-entry bookkeeping system has spread throughout the world over the past 5 centuries. Within each country, local accountants have adopted accountancy practices to suit their unique environment. In the ... -
Consideration of site-specific conditions in the assessment of groundwater pollution potential : an ash disposal case study
(North-West University (South Africa)North-West University, 2020)Groundwater resources, which form an important source of readily available potable water supply, are vulnerable to contamination from land-based activities. One of the potential sources of contamination is waste disposal ... -
A consideration of the possible withdrawal of the VAT zero rating on fuel in South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)South Africa faces various economic and socio-economic challenges. One such challenge is the rising debt service costs and the fiscal budget deficit. The budget deficit arises as a result of government expenditure exceeding ... -
A consideration of the potential taxation of Cannabis in South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Taxation is part of the daily lives of most persons in the world. A new product supplied into a market is likely to be subject to some form of taxation. Taxation of a new product for example cannabis requires rigorous ... -
Considerations for an in vitro, cell-based testing platform for detection of adverse drug-induced inotropic effects in early drug development. Part 1: General considerations for development of novel testing platforms
(Frontiers Media, 2019)Drug-induced effects on cardiac contractility can be assessed through the measurement of the maximal rate of pressure increase in the left ventricle (LVdP/dtmax) in conscious animals, and such studies are often conducted ... -
Considerations for an in vitro, cell-based testing platform for detection of drug-induced inotropic effects in early drug development. Part 2. Designing and fabricating microsystems for assaying cardiac contractility with physiological relevance using human iPSC-cardiomyocytes
(Frontiers Media, 2019)Contractility of the myocardium engines the pumping function of the heart and is enabled by the collective contractile activity of its muscle cells: cardiomyocytes. The effects of drugs on the contractility of human ... -
Considerations for the implementation of the radio interferometric positioning system on a single wireless node
(North-West University, 2011)The ability to localise objects and persons is a useful ability, that is currently used in everyday life in the form of Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation. Localisation is also useful in data networks. The ability ... -
Considerations in Grounded Theory Research Method: A reflection on the lessons learned
(2010)This paper is a discussion on the practical issues faced by Information Systems (IS) professionals when they employ Grounded Theory Method (GTM) in Information Systems research. Various strands of GTM are in use, all of ... -
