No evidence for extensions to the standard cosmological model
(American Physical Society, 2017)We compute the Bayesian evidence for models considered in the main analysis of Planck cosmic microwave background data. By utilizing carefully defined nearest-neighbor distances in parameter space, we reuse the Monte Carlo ... -
No fitness costs associated with resistance of Busseola fusca (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) to genetically modified Bt maize
(Elsevier, 2014)A concern regarding planting of Bt crops is that their widespread cultivation could lead to evolution of insect resistance to Bt toxins. In South Africa, the noctuid maize stem borer (Busseola fusca [Fuller]), is resistant ... -
No longer in suspense: clarifying the human rights jurisdiction of the SADC tribunal
(2015)The Southern African Development Community Tribunal's (SADC Tribunal) decision in the matter of Mike Campbell (Pvt) Ltd v Republic of Zimbabwe 2008 SADCT 2 (28 November 2008) demonstrated its ability to utilise the principles ... -
No man is an island…we are connected through the atmosphere / Pieter G. Van Zyl
(North-West University (South Africa). Potchefstroom Campus, 2022)Besides the obvious (as an atmospheric chemist presenting this inaugural address) – that we are all connected through the atmosphere (i.e. we all breathe the same air) – this presentation will also focus on the other, more ... -
“No more going to Nandos”: Rudimentary statistics and venal public servants in tender adjudication
(SAAPAM, 2014)This paper advances the notion that corruption in public service is perpetrated by the corruptibility of functionaries. The psychopathology of corruption demonstrates that hominids are inherently venal and will thus ... -
No one left behind : The Vision and Mission of lifelong Learning in Sub-Saharan Africa / Akpovire Oduaran

No strangers to adversity: resilience-promoting practices among South African women child protection social workers
(Sage, 2018)Globally the well-being of child protection social workers (CPSWs) is placed at risk by the taxing nature of their profession. In response, there have been international calls for the prioritization of CPSWs’ resilience. ... -
Noble, V. 2013. A school of struggle: Durban’s Medical School and the education of black doctors in South Africa. [Book review]
(The South African Society for History Teaching (SASHT) under the auspices of the School of Basic Sciences, Vaal Triangle Campus, North-West University, 2015) -
Nobody can really afford Legal Services : the price of justice in Namibia
(PER/PELJ, 2021)Nobody (except for the privileged few) can afford legal services in Namibia. In the light of this dawning awareness, how should the government and other stakeholders design the legal profession so that the greatest ... -
Nocturnal blood pressure, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol and carotidIntima-media thickness: the SABPA Study
(Elsevier, 2013)Background: Research demonstrated a significant relationship between elevated nocturnal blood pressure and sym-pathetic hyperactivity. The study aimed to investigate possible associations between norepinephrine ... -

Nocturnal migration reduces exposure to micropredation in a coral reef fish
(Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science, University of Miami, 2017)Tropical Atlantic reef fishes in the family Haemulidae (grunts) remain quiescent on reefs during the day and migrate to seagrass beds or sand flats at night. Hypothesized advantages of such nocturnal migrations are increased ... -
Noether symmetries and exact solutions of an Euler-Bernoulli beam model
(World Scientific Publishing, 2016)In this paper, a Noether symmetry analysis is carried out for an Euler-Bernoulli beam equation via the standard Lagrangian of its reduced scalar second-order equation which arises from the standard Lagrangian of the ... -
Noether symmetry classification and reductions of the generalized lane-emden equation
(North-West University (South Africa), 2006)In this dissertation we perform a Noether point symmetry classification of the generalized Lane-Emden equation which models several phenomena in mathematical physics and astrophysics. We then obtain first integrals of the ... -
Noise matching in coupled antennas
(IEEE, 2018)A novel way to calculate the sensitivity and beam- former coefficients of a receiver consisting of coupled antennas and an optimum beamformer is presented. The low-noise ampli- fier (LNA) connected ... -

The nomological network of emotion recognition ability: evidence from the Geneva Emotion Recognition Test
(Hogrefe, 2019)The ability to recognize other people’s emotions from their face, voice, and body (emotion recognition ability, ERA) is crucial to successful functioning in private and professional life. The Geneva Emotion Recognition ... -
Non-adherence to antiretroviral treatment in Maquassi Hills, North West Province: a Social Work perspective
(North-West University (South Africa), 2017)HIV and AIDS continue to be a major public health issue worldwide. The HIV and AIDS epidemic is equally a major threat to social and economic development globally and in South Africa. Although antiretroviral (ARV) medication ... -
Non-axisymmetric perpendicular diffusion of charged particles and their transport across tangential magnetic discontinuities
(IOP Publishing, 2016)We investigate the transport of charged particles across magnetic discontinuities, focusing specifically on stream interfaces associated with co-rotating interaction regions in the solar wind. We argue that the magnetic ... -
Non-catalytic plasma-arc reforming of natural gas with carbon dioxide as the oxidizing agent for the production of synthesis gas or hydrogen
(Elsevier, 2013)The world’s energy consumption is increasing constantly due to the growing population of the world. The increasing energy consumption has a negative effect on the fossil fuel reserves of the world. Hydrogen has the ...
