The cross-cultural application of the social axioms survey in the South African Police Service
(OpenJournals Publishing, 2008)The objectives of this study were to investigate the replicability, construct equivalence, item bias and reliability of the Social Axioms Survey (SAS) in the South African Police Service (SAPS). A crosssectional survey ... -
Cross-cultural measurement invariance of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire across 33 countries
(Elsevier, 2016)Cross-cultural invariance of personality measurement provides important information regarding the universality of personality traits. With the recent release of historical data from 33 countries on the Eysenck Personality ... -
Cross-linked PBI-based high-temperature membranes: stability, conductivity and fuel cell performance
(Elsevier, 2015)In this study different types of polybenzimidazole(PBI)-based High-T fuel cell membranes were investigated comparatively. The different membranes comprised: (1) ionically cross-linked PBI-excess blend membranes by mixing ... -
A cross-sectional analysis of the association between age and gender and prescribed minimum benefit chronic disease list conditions among South Africans with concomitant hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia
(AJOL, 2017)Background: Prescribed Minimum Benefit Chronic Disease List (PMB CDL) conditions are a regulated list of conditions most common to South Africa. Objectives: To investigate the prevalence and association between PMB CDL ... -
A cross-sectional survival analysis regression model with applications to consumer credit risk
(SASA, 2017)When performing long-range survival estimations, longitudinal survival analysis methods such as Cox Proportional Hazards (PH) and accelerated lifetime models may produce estimates that are outdated. This paper introduces ... -
Cross-species analyses of intra-species behavioral differences in mammals and fish
(Elsevier, 2020)Multiple species display robust behavioral variance among individuals due to different genetic, genomic, epigenetic, neuroplasticity and environmental factors. Behavioral individuality has been extensively studied in various ... -
The cross-tissue metabolic response of abalone (Haliotis midae) to functional hypoxia
(The Company of Biologists, 2018)Functional hypoxia is a stress condition caused by the abalone itself as a result of increased muscle activity, which generally necessitates the employment of anaerobic metabolism if the activity is sustained for prolonged ... -
A crossed product approach to Orlicz spaces
(London Mathematical Society, 2013)We show how the known theory of non-commutative Orlicz spaces for semifinite von Neumann algebras equipped with an faithful normal semifinite trace may be recovered using crossed product techniques. Then using this as a ... -
Cross–lagged associations between perceived external employability, job insecurity, and exhaustion: Testing gain and loss spirals according to the conservation of resources theory
(Wiley, 2012)This study investigates perceived external employability (PEE) as a personal resource in relation to job insecurity and exhaustion. We advance the idea that PEE may reduce feelings of job insecurity and, through felt job ... -

CRP genotypes predict increased risk to co-present with low vitamin D and elevated CRP in a group of healthy black South African women
(MDPI, 2018)Low 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations are independently associated with adverse health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although an inverse association ... -
Cry1Ab protein from Bacillus thuringiensis and MON810 cry1Ab–transgenic maize exerts no adjuvant effect after airway exposure
(Wiley, 2015)The genetically modified (GM) maize event MON810 has been inserted with a processed version of the transgene, cry1Ab, derived from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) to express proteins with insecticidal ... -
Cryotherapy reinvented: application of phase change material for recovery in elite soccer
(Human kinetics, 2018)Purpose: To examine whether donning lower-body garments fitted with cooled phase change material (PCM) would enhance recovery after a soccer match. Methods: In a randomized, crossover design, 11 elite soccer players from ... -
Crystal form conversion of nevirapine solvates subjected to elevated temperature and humidity: a qualitative study
(Ingenta, 2017)Some known nevirapine solvates have been reported to undergo solvent exchange in aqueous media to form a stable hemihydrate. This study aimed to determine the effects of atmospheric moisture on said nevirapine solvates and ... -
Crystal structure of a rearranged cage compound 3-hydroxy-4-aza-8-oxoheptacyclo [9.4.1.0-2,10-, 0 -3,14-, 0-4,9-, 0-9,13-, 0-12,12]tetradecane
(Springer, 2008)Polycyclic hydrocarbon compounds exhibit a wide variety of biological activities, ranging from antiviral to Parkinson’s disease. Several structures such as the adamantanes have reached clinical status and are used ... -
Crystallization of toxic glycol solvates of rifampin from glycerin and propylene glycol contaminated with ethylene glycol or diethylene glycol
(ACS, 2011)This study was initiated when it was suspected that syringe blockage experienced upon administration of a compounded rifampin suspension was caused by the recrystallization of toxic glycol solvates of the drug. Single ... -
CSR communication in a South African agricultural company
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)The current land reform programme in South Africa is a prime example of the manner in which corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives can be applied in the agricultural sector. Land reform creates an opportunity ... -
