Physical fitness, body composition and body image in female adolescents : the PAHL-study
(North-West University (South Africa), Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)A vicious circle exists between decreased physical fitness (PF), increased body composition (body mass index and body fat percentage) and body image (BI) dissatisfaction. The media and westernised culture persist in promoting ... -
Physical fitness, physical activity, sedentary behavior, or diet: what are the correlates of obesity in Polish school children?
(MDPI, 2017)There is substantial evidence of rising prevalence of overweight and obesity and its co-morbidities among children in western-high income developed countries. In the European Union, the prevalence of overweight and obesity ... -
A physical profile of South African youth soccer players
(Health and Medical Publishing Group, 2009) -
Physical property behaviour of North Dakota lignite in an oxygen/steam blown moving bed gasifier
(Elsevier, 2013)In this study lignite originating from North Dakota (USA) was thermally treated in an oxygen/steam blown commercial-scale moving bed gasifier operating on lump coal at the Dakota Gasification Company (DGC) in order to ... -
A physical reconstruction of Mgungundhlovu - Dingane's kraal - circa 1837 based on the eye witness accounts and supported by authorative studies.
(The South African Society of History Teaching, 1988) -
Physical stability and clinical efficacy of Crocodylus niloticus oil lotion
(Elsevier, 2016)The stability and the anti-ageing, skin hydrating and anti-erythema effects of a commercialized Crocodylus niloticus oil lotion was determined. The lotion was stored at controlled conditions over six months during which ... -
Physically disabled adolescents' experience of therapeutic riding : a phenomenological investigation
(North-West University, 2007)This dissertation serves as a report of a qualitative exploration of the experience of adolescents with physical disabilities during therapeutic horse-riding. The aim of the study is to understand the impact of therapeutic ... -
Physically-based landfalling tropical cyclone scenarios in support of risk assessment
(Elsevier, 2019)Populations and property values are increasing in tropical cyclone prone regions, driving up repair and replacement costs following a tropical cyclone impact. Climate change influences on tropical cyclones and sea levels ... -
Physico-chemical activation of South African bentonite clay and impact on metal adsorption capacity
(PSRC, 2014)The aim of the project is to investigate the influence of physico-chemical activation on the metal adsorption capacities of natural bentonite clay from the North West Province of South Africa. The clay has been characterized ... -
Physico-chemical and microbial analysis of selected borehole water in Mahikeng, South Africa
(MDPI, 2015)Groundwater is generally considered a “safe source” of drinking water because it is abstracted with low microbial load with little need for treatment before drinking. However, groundwater resources are commonly vulnerable ... -
Physico-chemical and microbiological data of the Mooi River : a historical perspective
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Increased urbanisation and anthropogenic disturbances have caused water quality of many freshwater systems to deteriorate over the years in South Africa. This is due to domestic, industrial, and agricultural waste being ... -
Physico-chemical properties and intestinal epithelial permeation of baclofen solid-state forms
(North-West University (South-Africa). Potchefstroom Campus, 2019)Baclofen is a centrally acting muscle relaxant that acts as an agonist of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). It is primarily used to treat muscle spasticity in patients with multiple sclerosis ... -
The physico-chemical properties and recrystallisation kinetics of selected amorphous active ingredients
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2015)During the last two to three decades the application of amorphous solid-state forms within the pharmaceutical industry gained much interest. The rationale for this heightened interest is the increased aqueous solubility, ... -
Physicochemical properties of amorphous roxithromycin prepared by quench cooling of the melt or desolvation of a chloroform solvate
(Springer, 2012)Roxithromycin is a poorly soluble antibacterial drug. The aim of this study was to prepare and characterize an amorphous form of roxithromycin. The amorphous form was prepared by desolvation of its chloroform solvate, and ... -
Physicochemical properties of N-Butyl-N-methyl-2-oxopyrrolidonium bromide and its binary mixtures with water or methanol
(American Chemical Society, 2016)Novel N-butyl-N-methyl-2-oxopyrrolidonium bromide ([BMpyr]+[Br]?) ionic liquid was synthesized and characterized by different techniques such as NMR (1H and 13C), FTIR, and HPLC. The measurements of thermophysical properties ... -
Physicochemical stability of enriched phenolic fractions of Cyclopia genistoides and ex vivo bi-directional permeability of major xanthones and benzophenones
(Thieme, 2020)Fractions of an ultrafiltered Cyclopia genistoides extract, respectively enriched in xanthones and benzophenones, were previously shown to inhibit mammalian α-glucosidase in vitro. The present study investigated ex vivo ... -
The physico–chemical properties of spiramycin and clarithromycin
(2012)In most cases, organic materials exist in the solid phase as polymorphs, solvatomorphs or amorphous forms. Physico-chemical properties in the solid-state are all affected primarily in terms of dissolution, solubility, ... -
The physico–chemical properties of the anti–tuberculosis drug ethionamide
(North-West University, 2012)Methods of recrystallisation from solution using various solvents as well as physical vapour deposition (PVD) methods were employed in an attempt to create different polymorphic forms of the anti-tuberculosis drug ... -
Physiological and biochemical constraints on photosynthesis of leguminous plants induced by elevated ozone in open–top chambers
(North-West University, 2011)Air pollution is one of the most critical and urgent problems globally and is also a growing concern in southern-Africa. Rapidly growing cities, increased traffic on roads, use of non-renewable fuels, reliance on outdated ... -
