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 ... -

The Cuito catchment of the Okavango system: a vascular plant checklist for the Angolan headwaters
(Pensoft, 2018)This paper aims to provide a baseline for conservation planning by documenting patterns of plant diversity and vegetation in the upper catchment of the Cuito River. 417 species are recorded from this region. Nine of these ... -
Culicoides species composition and environmental factors influencing African horse sickness distribution at three sites in Namibia
(Elsevier, 2016)African horse sickness (AHS) is one of the most lethal infectious, non-contagious, vector-borne disease of equids. The causative agent, African horse sickness virus (AHSV) is transmitted via Culicoides midges (Diptera: ... -
Cultural concepts employed in child discipline within rural Yoruba households: the Ayetoro-Oke African community
