Exploring a gene-x-environment model of treatment resistant depression: behavioural studies and response to fluoxetine treatment
(Elsevier, 2019)
Background: Major depression with psychotic features presents with severe depressed mood and psychosis in the form of nihilistic-type delusions and hallucinations, and is known to be resistant to antidepressant monotherapy ...
Towards designing an artefact evaluation strategy for human factors engineering: a lean implementation model case study
(Univ Stellenbosch, 2019)
Applying scientific methods to the evaluation of design science
research artefacts is necessary to recognise the design process as
design science research. Prior work has reported on this crucial
evaluation component; ...
An investigation of industry 4.0 skills requirements
(Univ Stellenbosch, 2019)
The Industry 4.0 wave is built on technological advancement that is
bringing about significant change. The impact of Industry 4.0 is
being felt across all industries, including the education sector.
During the 2019 State ...
Quality research management improves design research effectiveness
(Univ Stellenbosch, 2019)
Design research projects are often more complex than initially perceived due to a requirement for novelty, the creativity inherent in the design process, and the limited experience of novice researchers. Also, expectations ...
Gender considerations in sustainable rural livelihood planning: engendering rural development planning in a South African context
(WIT Press, 2019)
While it may be argued that worldwide women in rural areas are more likely to experience poverty than
rural men and urban men and women, it is an even greater challenge for Africa. The impoverishment
experienced by the ...
Exploration of biomarkers for subclinical atherosclerosis in an African population using a proteomics chip targeted at inflammation and cardiovascular disease
(Oxford Univ Press, 2019)
Introduction: The evolving use of multiplex proteomic platforms provides
an excellent tool for investigating associations between multiple proteins
and subclinical atherosclerotic disease. In this study, we evaluated the ...
Optical variability modelling of newly identified blazars and blazar candidates behind Magellanic clouds
(Sissa Medialab, 2019)
We present results of a variability study in the optical band of 44 newly identified blazar candidates behind the Magellanic Clouds. Our sample contains 27 flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) and 17 BL Lacertae objects (BL ...
Time-dependent, multi-wavelength shock acceleration models for active flares of 3C 279
(Sissa Medialab, 2019)
Jets in blazars are an excellent forum for studying acceleration at relativistic shocks using the
highly-variable emission seen across the electromagnetic spectrum. Our recent work on combining multi-wavelength leptonic ...
Unraveling the complex nature of the very high-energy γγ-ray blazar PKS 2155-304
(Sissa Medialab, 2019)
PKS 2155-304 is a blazar located in the Southern Hemisphere, monitored with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) at very high energy (VHE, E>100 GeV) γ rays every year since 2002. Thanks to the large data set ...
CTA 102 - Year over year receiving you
(Sissa Medialab, 2019)
The FSRQ CTA 102 (z=1.032) has been tremendously active over the last few years. During
its peak activity lasting several months in late 2016 and early 2017, the gamma-ray and optical
fluxes rose by up to a factor 100 ...
