Influence of CYP2B6 516G>T polymorphism and interoccasion variability (IOV) on the population pharmacokinetics of efavirenz in HIV-infected South African children
(Springer, 2012)Objective To investigate the influence of CYP2B6 516G>T polymorphism, as a covariate, and of interoccasion variability (IOV) on the oral clearance (CL/F) of efavirenz (EFV) in treatment-naïve black South African children ... -
Influence of density separation of selected South African coal fines on the products obtained during liquefaction using tetralin as a solvent
(ACS, 2019)The liquefaction of two South African discarded coal fines and their density separated (float) fractions were carried out under moderate conditions in a laboratory autoclave. Liquefaction tests were carried out on both ... -
The influence of design parameters on the occurrence of shielding in multi-electrode ESPs and its effect on performance
(Elsevier, 2018)A numerical model in which OpenFOAM® is used to model the electrostatic field resulting from corona discharge in single-channel wire-plate electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) was applied to systematically study the shielding ... -
Influence of different visual perceptual constructs on academic achievement among learners in the NW-CHILD study
(Sage, 2018)Visual perception plays an important and integrating role in the development of cognitive abilities and perceptual-motor skills. Visual perception comprises different independent constructs that may function in an integrative ... -
Influence of extraction methods on antimicrobial activities of lignin-based materials: a review
(Elsevier, 2020)Lignin is an abundant biomass-derived polymer that can be utilized as an antimicrobial agent. However, its antimicrobial properties depend on the method used for its extraction. Amongst the extracted lignin, lignin-based ... -
Influence of feeding-damaged plants on the oviposition responses within a community of female moths
(Springer, 2018)Competitive or facilitative interactions characterise phytophagous insect communities that utilise the same resources. These interactions are often mediated by the host plant. Plant mediation influences the oviposition ... -
