Cell phone usage relational regulation strategies of older South Africans
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)This study explored older South Africans’ relational regulation strategies in using their cell phones to address their social goals and psychosocial needs. Nineteen older South Africans (17 female; 2 male), aged 60 and ... -
A cell viability assay to determine the cytotoxic effects of water contaminated by microbes
(Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), 2013)Many South Africans do not have access to safe drinking water, so they have no alternative but to use water from contaminated sources that poses a health hazard. This poor state of affairs appears to be deteriorating. In ... -
Cell-free DNA in a three-dimensional spheroid cell culture model: a preliminary study
(Elsevier, 2017)Background Investigating the biological functions of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is limited by the interference of vast numbers of putative sources and causes of DNA release into circulation. Utilization of three-dimensional ... -
Cell-free DNA: preanalytical variables
(Elsevier, 2015)Since the discovery of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in human blood, most studies have focused on diagnostic and prognostic uses of these markers for solid tumors. Except for some prenatal tests and BEAMing, cfDNA analysis has not ... -
Cellular bioenergetics is impaired in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome
(PLOS, 2017)Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a highly debilitating disease of unknown aetiology. Abnormalities in bioenergetic function have been cited as one possible cause for CFS. Preliminary studies were performed to investigate ... -
Celtis sinensis Pers. (Ulmaceae) naturalised in northern South Africa and keys to distinguish between Celtis species commonly cultivated in urban environments
(AOSIS, 2018)Background: Alien Celtis species are commonly cultivated in South Africa. They are easily confused with indigenous C. africana Burm.f. and are often erroneously traded as such. Celtis australis L. is a declared alien ... -
Centaurus A: hard x-ray and high-energy gamma-ray light curve correlation
(MDPI, 2019)Centaurus A, powered by a 55 million solar mass supermassive black hole, has been intensively monitored in all accessible wavelength ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, its very-high energy gamma ( γ ) ray ... -
Centaurus A: hard X-ray and soft gamma-ray lightcurve correlation
(Sissa Medialab, 2017)Centaurus A (Cen A), powered by a 55 million solar mass supermassive black hole, has been intensively monitored in all accessible wavelength ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, its gamma-ray flux, both in the ... -

The central principle of Calvinism? Some criteria, proposals and questions
(AOSIS, 2015)Is there a ‘central principle’ of Calvinism? This article explores this question mainly from the viewpoint of reformational philosophy. It does so firstly by introducing criteria that should be used to identify, if ... -
Central systolic pressure and a nonessential amino acid metabolomics profile: the African prospective study on the early detection and identification of cardiovascular disease and hypertension
(Wolters Kluwer, 2019)Objectives: Early-life exposures to cardiovascular risk factors may manifest as early vascular ageing, a phenomenon to which black populations are more prone. The metabolome provides insight into the current state and ... -
The centrality of the research question for locating PhD studies in the global knowledge society
(University of Stellenbosch, 2014)Although classified as a developing country, South Africa lags far behind other BRICS member countries. A cause for concern is that the number of PhD studies rather than what they contribute is often used to measure their ... -
