CVD risk factors are related to plasma fibrin clot properties independent of total and or γ’ fibrinogen concentration
(Elsevier, 2014)Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors are associated with total fibrinogen concentration and/or altered clot structure. It is however, unclear whether such associations with clot structure are ascribed ... -
Cyanobacteria and algae of gold mine tailings in the North-West Province of South Africa
(Borntraeger Science Publishers, 2013)Cryptogamic crusts are important components in arid and semiarid lands and could play a vital role in the rehabilitation of mine tailings. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate the occurrence of cyanobacteria ... -
Cyber bullying of female students : an exploration of literature study
(IFE Centre for Psychological Studies (ICPS), 2017)Over the past decades, cyber bullying has become the order of the day in the universities (schools), workplace and elsewhere. This growth involves inter-gender, and age demographics. The aim of this study is to explore and ... -
Cyberbullying: should schools choose between safety and privacy?
(2015)In this theoretical article, we explore the tangled messiness of the application of human rights versus the 21st-century monster called "cyberbullying" in schools and focus on some of the challenges schools face daily. The ... -
Cyclic lipopeptide-producing Pseudomonas koreensis group strains dominate the cocoyam rhizosphere of a Pythium root rot suppressive soil contrasting with P. putida prominence in conducive soils
(Wiley, 2020)Pseudomonas isolates from tropical environments have been underexplored and may form an untapped reservoir of interesting secondary metabolites. In this study, we compared Pseudomonas and cyclic lipopeptide (CLP) diversity ... -
Cyclic pairs and common best proximity points in uniformly convex Banach spaces
(De Gruyter, 2017)In this article, we survey the existence, uniqueness and convergence of a common best proximity point for a cyclic pair of mappings, which is equivalent to study of a solution for a nonlinear programming problem in the ... -
Cycling-specific isometric resistance training improves peak power output in elite sprint cyclists
(Wiley, 2020)Introduction This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a 6‐week cycling‐specific, isometric resistance training program on peak power output (PPO) in elite cyclists. Methods Twenty‐four elite track sprint cyclists ... -
