Capital Flows: the South African experience
(Wiley, 2014)There has been a significant rise in the empirical work distinguishing between episodes of sharp slowdowns and surges in capital inflows. Much of this analysis has centred on gaining a better understanding of the cyclical ... -

Capitalisation of borrowing costs: an investigation into technical uncertainties in IAS 23
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)Those who are not experts in the field of accounting will most probably be of the opinion that interest should be expensed and therefore reduce profits. However, for financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009, ... -
Capsaicin and piperine as functional excipients for improved drug delivery across nasal epithelial models
(Thieme, 2019)The fruit from various pepper plants has been employed for the seasoning of food, as perfuming agents, and also as traditional medicines. Phytochemicals isolated from different pepper species have been found to modulate ... -
Carbamate substituted 2-amino-4,6-diphenylpyrimidines as adenosine receptor antagonists
(Elsevier, 2016)A novel series of carbamate substituted 2-amino-4,6-diphenylpyrimidines was evaluated as potential dual adenosine A1 and A2A receptor antagonists. The majority of the synthesised compounds exhibited promising dual affinities, ... -
Carbon balance of a grazed savanna grassland ecosystem in South Africa
(EGU, 2017)Tropical savannas and grasslands are estimated to contribute significantly to the total primary production of all terrestrial vegetation. Large parts of African savannas and grasslands are used for agriculture and cattle ... -
The carbon dioxide gasification characteristics of biomass char samples and their effect on coal gasification reactivity during co-gasification
(Elsevier, 2018)The carbon dioxide gasification characteristics of three biomass char samples and bituminous coal char were investigated in a thermogravimetric analyser in the temperature range of 850–950 °C. Char SB exhibited higher ... -
Carbon dioxide pollution reduction through load shift projects
(IEEE, 2014)Significant advances have been made in automation technology allowing systems to shift electricity consumption from peak periods to off-peak periods. Load shift projects have been implemented throughout South Africa for ... -
The carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen high-pressure sorption properties of South African bituminous coals
(Elsevier, 2019)In this paper, we report the CO2, CH4 and N2 sorption isotherms of four dry South African bituminous coals at pressures up to 16 MPa at 55 °C. The sorption capacities of the samples with respect to the adsorbate gases ... -
Carbon nanotubes in the 21st century: an advancement in real time monitoring and control of environmental water
(Wiley, 2019)Abstract: This chapter contains sections titled: Introduction -- Challenges and Prospects for Further Application -- Conflict of Interest -- Acknowledgments -- Contributions -
Carbon particle type characterization of the carbon behaviour impacting on a commercial-scale Sasol-Lurgi FBDB gasifier
(Elsevier, 2009)Char-form analysis, whilst not yet an ISO standard, is a relatively common characterization method applied to pulverized coal samples used by power utilities globally. Fixed-bed gasification coal feeds differ from pulverized ... -
Carbon tax implications on corporate social investment in the South African motor vehicle manufacturing industry
(Clute Institute, 2013)Carbon excise tax was implemented on all passenger motor vehicles in South Africa as of 1 September 2010. Since its implementation, the impact of carbon tax on the corporate social investment (CSI) initiatives and expenditure ... -
Carbon tax pricing and the social cost of carbon: the case in the South African motor vehicle manufacturing industry
(Clute Institute, 2013)Since the implementation of carbon tax on motor vehicles in South Africa during 2010, the pricing of the tax has never been challenged or assessed. The purpose of this study is to gauge the reasonability of the carbon tax ... -
Carbon-14 radiolabeling and in vivo biodistribution of a potential anti-TB compound
(Wiley, 2015)A potential anti-TB compound bearing a nitroimidazole moiety from iThemba Pharmaceuticals TB chemical library exhibits promising in vitro activity in the microplate almar blue assay (MABA) with a minimum inhibitory ... -
Carbon-14 radiolabelling and tissue distribution evaluation of a potential anti-TB compound
(Wiley, 2016)This paper describes a five-step synthesis of a carbon-14-labelled pyrazole compound (11). A total of 2.96 MBq of 11 was obtained with the specific activity of 2242.4 MBq/mmol. The radiochemical purity was >99%, and the ... -
Carbon-loud SDSS BOSS type II quasars at z > 2: high-density gas or secondary production of carbon?
(Oxford Univ Press, 2020)We study the ultraviolet (UV) emission-line ratios of a sample of 145 type II quasars (QSO2s) from Sloan Digital Sky Survey III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, and compare against a grid of active galactic nucleus ... -
Carbon‐14 radiolabeling and tissue distribution evaluation of MMV390048
(Wiley, 2016)The antimalarial compound MMV390048 ([14C]-11) was labeled with carbon-14 isotope via a 3-step synthesis. It was obtained in a 15.5% radiochemical overall yield from carbon-14 labeled methyl iodide with a radiochemical ... -
Cardiac
(Wiley, 2016)This chapter highlights various non-automated classical in vitro techniques used today to evaluate drug effects on cardiac electrophysiology. It then outlines a three-pronged preclinical initiative called the Comprehensive ... -
