Complete genome analyses of the first porcine rotavirus group H identified from a South African pig does not provide evidence for recent interspecies transmission events
(Elsevier, 2016)Rotaviruses (RVs) are classified into eight species/groups (RVA–RVH) according to the migration patterns of their 11 genome segments, as well as by serological and molecular properties of Viral Protein 6 (VP6). In 1997 a ... -
Complete genome sequence of Lactobacillus reuteri PNW1, a promising probiotic candidate
(ASM, 2019)This study reports the whole-genome sequence of Lactobacillus reuteri PNW1 isolated from gastrointestinal tracts of weaned piglets of the indigenous South African Windsnyer pig breed. A total of 5.2 GB data comprising ... -
Complex refractive indices and single-scattering albedo of global dust aerosols in the shortwave spectrum and relationship to size and iron content
(EGU, 2019)The optical properties of airborne mineral dust depend on its mineralogy, size distribution, and shape, and they might vary between different source regions. To date, large differences in refractive index values found in ... -
Complex vector lattices via functional completions
(Elsevier, 2016)We show that the Fremlin tensor product View the MathML sourceC(X)⊗¯C(Y) is not square mean complete when X and Y are uncountable metrizable compact spaces. This motivates the definition of complexification of Archimedean ... -
The complex VHE and multiwavelength flaring activity of the FSRQ PKS 1510-089 in May 2015
(AIP, 2017)The blazar PKS 1510-089 was the first of the flat spectrum radio quasar type, which had been detected simultaneously by a ground based Cherenkov telescope (H.E.S.S.) and the LAT instrument on board the Fermi satellite. ... -
Complexation of palladium(II) with chloride and hydroxide
(Taylor & Francis, 2007)Complex formation of Pd(II) with chloride and hydroxide has been investigated by spectrophotometry at 25°C and ionic strength 1.0 M. For the chloride complexes [PdCl n (H2O)4− n ]2− n (n = 0–4), the formation constants, β ... -
Complexation of palladium(II) with thiocyanate: a spectrophotometric investigation
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)Complex-formation of Pd(II) with thiocyanate has been investigated by spectrophotometry at 25 °C and an ionic strength of 1.0 M. The formation constants, βn, for the palladium(II) thiocyanate complexes [Pd(SCN)n(H2O)4–n]2–n ... -
Complexities with extractive industries regulation on the African continent: what has ‘best practice’ legislation delivered in South Africa?
(Elsevier, 2017)The legal framework for mine closure and rehabilitation of new and former mine sites in South Africa, including legacy abandoned sites, is comprehensive. This paper discusses legislative provisions for mine site rehabilitation ... -
Complexiton solutions to soliton equations by the Hirota method
(AIP Publishing, 2017)We apply the Hirota direct method to construct complexiton solutions (complexitons). The key is to use Hirota bilinear forms. We prove that taking pairs of conjugate wave variables in the 2N-soliton solutions generates ... -
The composition of ambient and fresh biomass burning aerosols at a savannah site, South Africa
(ASSAf, 2016)Atmospheric aerosols play a key role in climate change, and have adverse effects on human health. Given South Africa’s status as a rapidly-developing country with increasing urbanisation and industrial growth, information ... -
Compositional turnover in ecto- and endoparasite assemblages of an African bat, Miniopterus natalensis (Chiroptera, Miniopteridae): effects of hierarchical scale and host sex
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2020)We studied the compositional turnover in infracommunities and component communities of ecto- and endoparasites infesting a bat, Miniopterus natalensis (Chiroptera, Miniopteridae), across seven sampling sites using the zeta ... -
Compound maximal motor unit response is modulated by contraction intensity, but not contraction type in tibialis anterior
(Wiley, 2019)Determining a single compound maximal motor response (MMAX) or an average superimposed MMAX response (MSUP) are commonly used reference values in experiments eliciting raw electromyographic, motor evoked potentials, ... -
A comprehensive power spectral density analysis of astronomical time series. I. The Fermi-LAT gamma-ray light curves of selected blazars
(IOP Publishing, 2020)We present the results of the Fermi-Large Area Telescope 10 yr long light curve (LC) modeling of selected blazars: six flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) and five BL Lacertae (BL Lacs), examined in 7, 10, and 14 day ... -
Compression garments and recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage: a meta-analysis
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2014)The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of compression garments on recovery following damaging exercise. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted using studies that evaluated the efficacy of ... -
Compression garments and recovery from exercise: a meta-analysis
(Springer, 2017)Background Adequate recovery from exercise is essential to maintain performance throughout training and competition. While compression garments (CG) have been demonstrated to accelerate recovery, the literature is clouded ... -
Computational chemistry study of zirconium monomers in low acid concentration aqueous solutions
(IOP Publishing, 2018)Zirconium and hafnium have to be separated prior to their use in nuclear energy reactors. Therefore, a lot of research has been done on the solvent extraction of zirconium. However, most of this research involved screening ... -
Computational method based on bernstein operational matrices for multi-order fractional differential equations
