The contribution of labour law and non–discrimination law to empowerment and social justice in an unequal society: a South African perspective
(Kluwer Law International, 2013)The tragic events at the Marikana mine ( North-West Province, South Africa) in 2012 again underlined the vast inequalities that persist in South African society. Significant income differentials and disparities in quality ... -
The contribution of millisecond pulsars to the Galactic cosmic-ray lepton spectrum
(Elsevier, 2015)Pulsars are believed to be sources of relativistic electrons and positrons. The abundance of detections of γγ-ray millisecond pulsars by Fermi Large Area Telescope coupled with their light curve characteristics that imply ... -
The contribution of physical and chemical sediment characteristics to environmental risk from an irrigation scheme in South Africa
(Springer, 2015)Purpose: The physical and chemical characteristics of sediment from a South African irrigation scheme were used to determine the sediment stressors within the system and to determine whether or not stressors have the ... -
The contribution of the C-824T tyrosine hydroxylase polymorphism to the prevalence of hypertension in a South African cohort: the SABPA study
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)The C-824T single nucleotide polymorphism in the promoter region of the tyrosine hydroxylase gene has been associated with hypertension. It is well documented that African South Africans exhibit a higher prevalence of ... -
The contribution of the Wacky Wine Festival to the local economy
(Sabinet, 2013)The Wacky Wine Festival in Robertson is unique, due to the fact that there are 48 wine farms on an existing wine route that participate in the festival. Each one of these farms is offering its own unique products and ... -
A contribution to the conceptualisation of quality in impact assessment
(Elsevier, 2018)Quality is much sought after in, and a basic foundation for, good impact assessment (IA). However, the term is rarely defined, has an uncertain relationship with IA effectiveness, and it means different things to different ... -
A contribution to the knowledge of cheyletid mites of Iran with redescription of Eucheyletia flabellifera (Michael, 1878) (Prostigmata: Cheyletidae)
(Acarologia, 2018)The cheyletid mites collected from Guilan province in Northern Iran were investigated. A total of 16 species were determined. Of these, Eucheyletia flabellifera (Michael, 1878) is a new record for the Iranian cheyletid ... -
Contribution to the knowledge of the oribatid mite family Nesozetidae (Acari, Oribatida)
(Magnolia Press, 2017)A new oribatid mite species of the genus Nesozetes (Oribatida, Nesozetidae) is described from moss (Sphagnum sp.) on the seepage area below a permanent spring in South Africa. Nesozetes membranus sp. nov. differs from its ... -
Contribution towards a metabolite profile of the detoxification of benzoic acid through glycine conjugation: an intervention study
(PLoS, 2016)Benzoic acid is widely used as a preservative in food products and is detoxified in humans through glycine conjugation. Different viewpoints prevail on the physiological significance of the glycine conjugation reaction ... -
Contributions from nearby pulsars to the local cosmic ray electron spectrum
(Elsevier, 2008)PSR J0437-4715 is one of the closest millisecond pulsars (MSPs) to Earth, lying at a distance of _140 pc. This pulsar has a characteristic age of 4.9 Gyr and a relatively low spindown power of _1034 ergs/s. During its ... -
Contributions from nearby pulsars to the local cosmic ray electron spectrum
(Elsevier, 2008)PSR J0437-4715 is one of the closest millisecond pulsars (MSPs) to Earth, lying at a distance of ∼140 pc. This pulsar has a characteristic age of 4.9 Gyr and a relatively low spindown power of ∼1034 ergs/s. During its ... -
Contributions of internationalization to psychology: toward a global and inclusive discipline
(American Psychological Association, 2013)In this article I define and describe the current state of internationalization in psychology. Internationalization refers here to the approach in which existing or new psychological theories, methods, procedures, or data ... -
Contributions of mean and shape of blood pressure distribution to worldwide trends and variations in raised blood pressure: a pooled analysis of 1018 population-based measurement studies with 88.6 million participants
(Oxford Univ Press, 2018)Background Change in the prevalence of raised blood pressure could be due to both shifts in the entire distribution of blood pressure (representing the combined effects of public health interventions and secular trends) ... -
A control algorithm approach for optimizing energy resources through power generation for a South African steel works plant
(SAIIE, 2014)Numerous engineering plants have varieties of processes, where individual process flows are dependent on previous processes and operated by default or manual settings. Initial raw material feeds may fluctuate over time, ... -
A control approach investigation of the Xe-100 plant to perform load following within the operational range of 100 - 25 - 100%
(Elsevier, 2018)This paper describes the Xe-100 plant load following analyses done in Flownex® thermal-fluid system simulation software for normal operation from 100 – 25 – 100% electrical power. The plant model encompasses all major ... -
Control of magnetically suspended rotor combined with motor drive system
(IFAC, 2014)This paper presents the cooperative control between the active magnetic bearing system and the permanent magnet synchronous drive. More specifically, the coupling between the vibration control and sensorless drive control ... -
Controlling the electronic and optical properties of HfS2 mono-layers via lanthanide substitutional doping: a DFT plus U study
