Conservation laws and traveling wave solutions of a generalized Nonlinear ZK-BBM equation
(Hindawi publishing corporation, 2014)We study a generalized two-dimensional nonlinear Zakharov-Kuznetsov-Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (ZK-BBM) equation, which is in fact Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation formulated in the ZK sense. Conservation laws for this equation are ... -
Conservation laws of coupled semilinear wave equations
(World Scientific Publishing, 2016)A complete classification of all low-order conservation laws is carried out for a system of coupled semilinear wave equations which is a natural two-component generalization of the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation. The ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 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 ... -
Considerations on the mechanism of action of artemisinin antimalarials. Part 1. The 'carbon radical' and 'heme' hypotheses
(Bentham Science, 2013)The isolation of artemisinin from the traditional medicinal herb qīng hāo (Artemisia annua), its characterization as a peroxide and preparation of the derivatives dihydroartemisinin, artemether and artesunate in the 1970s ... -
Considering complexities in unique African planning approaches: abstracting the role of African urban residents
(WIT Press, 2017)Africa is currently the fastest urbanising region in the world and has subsequently become the centre of continuously growing attention from planning practitioners and academics. Many of these scholars argue for a unique ... -
Considering flood risk in spatial development planning: a land use conflict analysis approach
(AOSIS, 2019)Flooding is the predominant natural hazard observed in Africa, and it often leads to damage to property and losses in human lives. To ensure that the detrimental effects of flooding are kept to a minimum, flood-prone areas ... -
Considering new urbanism, new ruralism and green urbanism in response to multifunctionality: the case of Verkykerskop, South Africa
(WIT Press, 2017)Paul Davidoff charged planners in 1965, as a profession making urban life more beautiful, exciting, creative and more just, as having little to say. The task thereupon was to train a generation of planners to go well ... -
Considering planning approaches in the global south and learning from co-production in South Africa’s informal backyard rental sector
(WIT Press, 2017)The global South has traditionally been regarded as oppressed and subjugated, grappling to reach western ideals on the appropriate, desirable and modern. However, framing the developing world as such, fails to recognise ... -
Considering the influence of human trust in practical social engineering exercises
(IEEE, 2014)There are numerous technical advances in the field of information security. However, the application of information security technologies alone is often not sufficient to address security issues. Human factors play an ... -
Considering the this-worldly religious focus of the African traditional worldview as found in South Africa
(AOSIS, 2017)Most articles evaluating the African traditional worldview focus an attack on the ancestor cult or highlight positive aspects of the worldview. In either case, mention of the this-worldly religious focus tends to be 'in ... -
