Effects of Montmorency tart cherry (Prunus Cerasus L.) consumption on vascular function in men with early hypertension
(Amer Soc Nutrition, 2016)
Background: Tart cherries contain numerous polyphenolic compounds
that could potentially improve endothelial function and reduce
cardiovascular disease risk.
Objective: We sought to examine the acute effects of ...
Pricing contingent convertible bonds in African banks
(AOSIS, 2016)
In times of financial distress, banks struggle to source additional capital from reluctant private investors. Sovereign bailouts prevent disruptive insolvencies, but distort bank incentives. Contingent convertible capital ...
Parasite responses to pollution: what we know and where we go in ‘ Environmental Parasitology ’
(BioMed Central, 2017)
Environmental parasitology deals with the interactions between parasites and pollutants in the environment. Their sensitivity to pollutants and environmental disturbances makes many parasite taxa useful indicators of ...
Classification and taxonomy of vegetable macergens
(Frontiers Media, 2015)
Macergens are bacteria capable of releasing pectic enzymes (pectolytic bacteria).
These enzymatic actions result in the separation of plant tissues leading to total plant
destruction. This can be attributed to soft rot ...
Organochlorine pesticide contamination of foods in Africa: incidence and public health significance
(Japanese Society of Veterinary Science, 2017)
Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) have been used worldwide, particularly in Africa, for several decades. Although many are banned, several African countries still use OCPs especially for the prevention and control of malaria. ...
The extended jet in AP Librae as the source of the VHE γ-ray emission
(AIP, 2017)
Most modeling attempts of blazars use a small emission zone located close to the central black hole in order to explain the broad-band spectral energy distribution. Here we present a case where additionally to the small ...
Intra-pixel variability in satellite tropospheric NO2 column densities derived from simultaneous space-borne and airborne observations over the South African Highveld
(EGU, 2018)
Aircraft measurements of NO2 using an imaging differential optical absorption spectrometer (iDOAS) instrument over the South African Highveld region in August 2007 are presented and compared to satellite measurements from ...
Climate change vulnerability index for South African aquifers
(South African Water Research Commission, 2012)
South Africa is viewed as a water-stressed country with an average annual rainfall of 500 mm and any climatic change could have adverse impacts on water resources of the country. The potential impacts of climate change on ...
Class II 6.7 GHz methanol maser association with young massive cores revealed by ALMA
(IOP, 2017)
We explored the implication of the association (or lack of it) of 6.7 GHz class II methanol (CH3OH) masers with massive dense cores (MDCs) detected (within a sample of ATLASGAL selected infrared quiet massive clumps) at ...
Evidence for acute electrophysiological and cognitive changes following routine soccer heading
(Elsevier, 2016)
Introduction: There is growing concern around the effects of concussion and sub-concussive impacts in sport.
Routine game-play in soccer involves intentional and repeated head impacts through ball heading. Although
heading ...
