(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 ... -
Characterising rainfall using a high density rain gauge network in the Mooi River catchment
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Understanding and measuring rainfall is of critical importance for agriculture, disaster mitigation, drought relief and water resource management practises. With the advancement of technology, methods of earth observation ... -
Characterising the immunometabolic profile of HIV/TB co-infection
(North-West University (South Africa), 2022)The synergy between the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB) during co-infection of a host is well established. While this synergy is driven ... -
Characterising the Long-Term Variability in Blazars
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Most research on blazar variability focuses on individual ares to explain acceleration and radiation mechanisms and improve on current models. These short-time events (being minutes, hours, or days) might not be representative ... -
Characterising the long-term variability of blazars in leptonic models
(MDPI, 2019)Most research on blazar variability focuses on individual flares to explain acceleration and radiation mechanisms and improve on current models. These short-time events (being minutes, hours, or days) might not be ... -
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 ... -
