Capitalisation of borrowing costs: an investigation into technical uncertainties in IAS 23
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)Those who are not experts in the field of accounting will most probably be of the opinion that interest should be expensed and therefore reduce profits. However, for financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009, ... -
Carbamate substituted 2-amino-4,6-diphenylpyrimidines as adenosine receptor antagonists
(Elsevier, 2016)A novel series of carbamate substituted 2-amino-4,6-diphenylpyrimidines was evaluated as potential dual adenosine A1 and A2A receptor antagonists. The majority of the synthesised compounds exhibited promising dual affinities, ... -
Carbon balance of a grazed savanna grassland ecosystem in South Africa
(European Geosciences Union, 2017)Tropical savannas and grasslands are estimated to contribute significantly to the total primary production of all terrestrial vegetation. Large parts of African savannas and grasslands are used for agriculture and cattle ... -
The carbon dioxide gasification characteristics of biomass char samples and their effect on coal gasification reactivity during co-gasification
(Elsevier, 2018)The carbon dioxide gasification characteristics of three biomass char samples and bituminous coal char were investigated in a thermogravimetric analyser in the temperature range of 850–950 °C. Char SB exhibited higher ... -
Carbon dioxide pollution reduction through load shift projects
(IEEE, 2014)Significant advances have been made in automation technology allowing systems to shift electricity consumption from peak periods to off-peak periods. Load shift projects have been implemented throughout South Africa for ... -

Carbon tax implications on corporate social investment in the South African motor vehicle manufacturing industry
(Clute Institute, 2013)Carbon excise tax was implemented on all passenger motor vehicles in South Africa as of 1 September 2010. Since its implementation, the impact of carbon tax on the corporate social investment (CSI) initiatives and expenditure ... -
Carbon tax pricing and the social cost of carbon: the case in the South African motor vehicle manufacturing industry
(Clute Institute, 2013)Since the implementation of carbon tax on motor vehicles in South Africa during 2010, the pricing of the tax has never been challenged or assessed. The purpose of this study is to gauge the reasonability of the carbon ... -
Carbon-14 radiolabeling and in vivo biodistribution of a potential anti-TB compound
(Wiley, 2015)A potential anti-TB compound bearing a nitroimidazole moiety from iThemba Pharmaceuticals TB chemical library exhibits promising in vitro activity in the microplate almar blue assay (MABA) with a minimum inhibitory ... -
Carbon-14 radiolabelling and tissue distribution evaluation of a potential anti-TB compound
(Wiley, 2016)This paper describes a five-step synthesis of a carbon-14-labelled pyrazole compound (11). A total of 2.96 MBq of 11 was obtained with the specific activity of 2242.4 MBq/mmol. The radiochemical purity was >99%, and the ... -
Carbon‐14 radiolabeling and tissue distribution evaluation of MMV390048
(Wiley, 2016)The antimalarial compound MMV390048 ([14C]-11) was labeled with carbon-14 isotope via a 3-step synthesis. It was obtained in a 15.5% radiochemical overall yield from carbon-14 labeled methyl iodide with a radiochemical ... -
Cardiac
(Wiley, 2016)This chapter highlights various non-automated classical in vitro techniques used today to evaluate drug effects on cardiac electrophysiology. It then outlines a three-pronged preclinical initiative called the Comprehensive ... -
Cardiac troponin T as early marker of subclinical cardiovascular deterioration in black hypertensive women
(Elsevier, 2017)Background Hypertensive heart disease is a rising concern, especially among black South African women. As high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (cTnT) is a marker of cardiomyocyte damage, we determined the potential link ...
