(AOSIS, 2012)When studying learners’ performance in mathematics, it is important to investigate more than just their cognitive performance in the subject. The purpose of this study was to investigate, identify and reflect on the ... -
Fast and efficient nickel(II)-catalysed transfer hydrogenation of quinolines with ammonia borane
(Wiley, 2020)Herein we report the first Ni(II)‐catalysed transfer hydrogenation of quinolines using ammonia borane (AB) as hydrogen (H2) source. An in situ generated Ni(II)‐bis(pyrazolyl)pyridine pre‐catalyst could hydrogenate quinoline ... -
Fast Fourier Transforms : an analysis tool for share selection
(North-West University (South Africa), 1999)The advent of the modern high-speed digital computer has caused a revolution in the application of the theory of digital signal processing to a variety of problems. Digital signal processing has served to create vitality ... -
The fast radio burst luminosity function and death line in the low-twist Magnetar Model
(IOP, 2020)We explore the burst energy distribution of fast radio bursts (FRBs) in the low-twist magnetar model of Wadiasingh & Timokhin (WT19). Motivated by the power-law fluence distributions of FRB 121102, we propose an elementary ... -
Fast radio burst trains from magnetar oscillations
(IOP Publishing, 2020)Quasi-periodic oscillations inferred during rare magnetar giant flare tails were initially interpreted as torsional oscillations of the neutron star (NS) crust, and have been more recently described as global core+crust ... -
Fast-and ultra-fast laser pulse induced reactions between carbon dioxide and methane
(Elsevier, 2010)The direct excitation of CO2 using fast (nanosecond) and ultrafast (femtosecond) pulsed lasers was investigated. A gas reaction cell was used to excite CO2 in a 50 : 50 mixture of CO2 and CH4 using nano- and femtosecond ... -

Fatty acid and micronutrient intake and status in association with allergy among pregnant urban women in South Africa
(North-West University, 2018)Background: Allergy has become a global problem, consequently reaching epidemic proportions. Worldwide, in both developed and developing countries, the prevalence of allergic disease is rising substantially, with an estimated ... -
Fatty acid metabolome extraction from mycobacterial cells for GC-MS metabolomics analysis
(Humana, 2019)Metabolomics is becoming an increasingly popular research tool for identifying new biomarkers, which can, among other applications, be applied to elucidate various microbial growth and virulence mechanisms. Since the lipid ... -
Fatty acid status and dietary intake of children and their caregivers from three distinct communities
(2013)Background: Dietary fat intake particularly of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids play an important role in growth and development and influence the risk of nutrition related non communicable diseases. These dietary intakes ... -
Fault detection and characterisation in pressurised water reactors using real-time simulations
