(Springer, 2018)Resistance and tolerance to Meloidogyne graminicola infection of introgressed rice genotypes derived from crosses between M. graminicola-resistant Oryza glaberrima genotype CG14 and -susceptible O. sativa genotype IR64 ... -
Evaluation of selected natural compounds as dual inhibitors of catechol-o-methyltransferase and monoamine oxidase
(Bentham Science, 2019)Background: The most effective symptomatic treatment of Parkinson’s disease remains the metabolic precursor of dopamine, L-dopa. To enhance the efficacy of L-dopa, it is often combined with inhibitors of the enzymes, ... -
An evaluation of South African worker co-operatives against specified business success factors
(Prof. Ansie Lessing, 2015)Although worker co-operatives form an integral part of the South African government's social and economic development efforts, these entities have so far not lived up to expectations. Based on the findings in previous ... -
The evaluation of spent coffee grounds as feedstock for continuous hydrothermal liquefaction
(EARET, 2018)This study looks at converting a low-value waste in a continuous hydrothermal liquefaction reactor to a high-value biocrude and biochar product. The feedstock chosen for this study was spent coffee grounds (SCG) as spent ... -
An evaluation of supramaximally loaded eccentric leg press exercise
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018)High-intensity eccentric exercise is a potent stimulus for neuromuscular adaptation. A greater understanding of the mechanical stimuli afforded by this exercise will aid the prescription of future eccentric training regimens. ... -
An evaluation of synthetic indole derivatives as inhibitors of monoamine oxidase
(Elsevier, 2016)In a recent study we have shown that several indole-5,6-dicarbonitrile derivatives are potent inhibitors of human monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B. To expand on these results and to further determine structure–activity ... -
Evaluation of system losses due to harmonics in medium voltage distribution networks
(IEEE, 2016)Power system harmonics are a known cause to failure, disoperation or premature aging of customer's equipment. It also causes additional losses in a distribution network that influence the planning and design of future ... -
An evaluation of technology teacher in training in South Africa: shortcomings and recommendations
(Springer, 2011)Compared to other subjects Technology Education (TE) is regarded as a new subject both nationally and internationally. In the absence of an established subject philosophy Technology educators had little alternative than ... -
Evaluation of the antibacterial activity of metal impregnated multi-walled carbon nanotubes: impact of domestic wastewater as supporting medium
(Desalination Publications, 2017)Despite the availability of potential water treatment resources, bacterial infections are still of major concern, especially in developing countries where large numbers of people do not have ... -
Evaluation of the antioxidative potential of diisopropyldithiocarbamates sodium salt on diclofenac-induced toxicity in male albino rats
(Elsevier, 2022)Diclofenac (DIC) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which is known to induce oxidative stress. Dithiocarbamates are compounds with proven antioxidant effect. The aim of the present study was to investigate ... -
The evaluation of the anti‐cancer drug elesclomol that forms a redox‐active copper chelate as a potential anti‐tubercular drug
(Wiley, 2019)The observations that the innate immune system employs copper toeliminate bacterial infection and that resistance to copper enhancesvirulence ofMycobacterium tuberculosis(Mtb) prompted us to exam-ine the effects the ... -
Evaluation of the Berman-Olander long-bowl gas centrifuge solution
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)The hydrodynamic equations for a long-bowl gas centrifuge can be simplified to obtain a one-dimensional differential equation for the variation of the non-dimensional axial velocity in the radial direction. In this study ... -
An evaluation of the canonical approach: is it adequate for the task of old testament theology in christian hermeneutic endeavour?
(University of Stellenbosch, 2015)The overarching question is: “How do we make the biblical text relevant for our present context?” The answer ultimately resides in reading the text theologically. Therefore, the question must be: “How do we read the Old ... -
