Sample positioning in neutron diffraction experiments using a multi-material fiducial marker
(Elsevier, 2017)An alternative sample positioning method is reported for use in conjunction with sample positioning and experiment planning software systems deployed on some neutron diffraction strain scanners. In this approach, the ... -
Sampling variation in the quantification of fumonisins in maize samples
(Scientific Publishing (NISC), 2011)Fumonisins produced by F. verticillioides and F. proliferatum cause mycotoxicoses in horses, swine and rats and have been associated with oesophageal cancer in humans. Accurate measurement of mycotoxins is essential for ... -
Samson as light and Delilah as darkness: a cognitive linguistic study using metaphors
(University of Johannesburg, 2011)Interpretation of ancient texts can be a very clinical procedure, with little to no regard of the individual's personal experience of the text. This also applies to interpretation of the Samson and Delilah narrative. When ... -
SAR and molecular mechanism studies of monoamine oxidase inhibition by selected chalcone analogs
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)The present study describes the synthesis of a series of 22 chalcone analogs. These compounds were evaluated as potential human MAO-A and MAO-B inhibitors. The compounds showed varied selectivity against the two isoforms. ... -
