Two new species of long-fingered frogs of the genus Cardioglossa (Anura: Arthroleptidae) from Central African rainforests
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)We describe two new frog species of Cardioglossa (Family Arthroleptidae) from Central Africa. The new species are found in the rainforests of western-central Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo ... -
Two new species of Nitzschia (Bacillariophyceae) from freshwater environs of Lonar Crater Lake, India
(Wiley, 2015)Diatom taxa in India were first documented by Ehrenberg and subsequently many studies have focused on the Western Ghats and Himalayan mountains while other regional environments were rarely explored. In the current ... -
Two new species of Oswaldocruzia (Nematoda, Molineidae) parasitising lizards in Ukraine
(Magnolia Press, 2017)Two new species, Oswaldocruzia lisnykiensis sp. n. and Oswaldocruzia lacertica sp. n., are described from Anguis fragilis L. (Reptilia: Anquidae) and Lacerta agilis L. (Reptilia: Lacertidae) respectively. Both species ... -
Two new species of polystomes (Monogenea: Polystomatidae) from the anuran host Guibemantis liber
(Elsevier, 2014)Madapolystoma ramilijaonae n. sp. and Madapolystoma cryptica n. sp. (Monogenea, Polystomatidae) are described from the urinary bladder of disjunct populations of the Madagascar shrub frog Guibemantis liber. Although only ... -
Two new species of Spinibdella and Odontoscirus (Acari: Prostigmata: Bdellidae) from Western Iran
(Acarologia, 2017)Two new species of Bdellidae, viz. Spinibdella pourmirzaei Eghbalian, Khanjani & Ueckermann n. sp. from soil and litter under apricot trees and Odontoscirus denheyeri Eghbalian, Khanjani & Ueckermann n. sp. (Acariformes ... -
Two new species of the family Nippobodidae (Acari, Oribatida), including a description of the leg-folding process
(Pensoft, 2018)Nippobodes panemorfis sp. n. and Leobodes trypasis sp. n. are described by means of optical and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and compared to other congeners. The leg-folding process is described and illustrated. Nippobodes ... -
Two novel species of Sisyranthus (Apocynaceae-Ceropegieae) from South Africa
(Magnolia Press, 2020)Sisyranthus species are cryptic in both their habit and small size of their flowers making them difficult to find in the wild. The genus was last revised in Flora Capensis (1908) and since then, two new species have been ... -
Two remarkable contributions of Aristotle to the intellectual legacy of the West
(South African Society for Greek Philosophy and the Humanities (SASGPH), 2013)Although it does not need any justification to explore the rich legacy of Greek philosophy, an account of its lasting insights does need lifting out the significant elements of continuity, while disregarding those stances ... -
A two-dimensional analytic thermal model for a high-speed PMSM magnet
(IEEE, 2015)Permanent-magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) are well suited for high-speed (HS) applications due to their high efficiency, power density, and dynamic response capability. The heat extraction area decreases as the ... -
Two-dimensional graphene-HfS(2) van der Waals heterostructure as electrode material for alkali-ion batteries
(RSC, 2020)Poor electrical conductivity and large volume expansion during repeated charge and discharge is what has characterized many battery electrode materials in current use. This has led to 2D materials, specifically multi-layered ... -
Two-sample tests for multivariate functional data
(Springer, 2017)We consider two–sample tests for functional data with observations which may be uni– or multi–dimensional. The new methods are formulated as L2–type criteria based on empirical characteristic functions and are convenient ... -
Two-year changes in body composition, physical activity and selected metabolic risk factors among adolescents living in Tlokwe Municipality Area, North West Province, South Africa: the Pahl study
(NWU, 2018)The increase of childhood obesity in low- to middle-income countries is linked to both individual and clustered metabolic risk factors. This study determined the changes, after two years, in body composition, physical ... -
Two-year changes in body composition, physical activity, and selected metabolic risk factors among adolescents living in the North West province of South Africa: the PAHL study
(Human Kinetics, 2018)The purpose of this study was to determine the two-year changes in body composition, physical activity (PA) and selected metabolic risk factors (abdominal obesity and blood pressure) among adolescents from the North West ... -
Two-year longitudinal health-related fitness, anthropometry and body composition status amongst adolescents in Tlokwe Municipality: the PAHL Study
(AOSIS, 2015)Aim: To evaluate a two–year longitudinal development of health–related fitness, anthropometry and body composition status amongst adolescents in Tlokwe Municipality, Potchefstroom, South Africa." "Setting: A total ... -
The two-year longitudinal relationships between changes in body composition and changes in selected metabolic risk factors (abdominal obesity and blood pressure) among adolescents from Potchefstroom in the North West Province of South Africa
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018)Objectives: To determine the longitudinal relationship between changes in body composition and selected metabolic risk factors (abdominal obesity and BP) among adolescents from the Tlokwe Municipality in the North West ... -
The twofold Ellis-Gohberg inverse problem for rational matrix functions on the real line
(Springer, 2020)From the mid-1980s R.L. Ellis, I. Gohberg and D.C. Lay wrote several papers on systems of orthogonal matrix polynomials and matrix functions, culminating in the monograph [3] by Ellis and Gohberg, where additional background ... -
The twofold Ellis-Gohberg inverse problem in an abstract setting and applications
(Springer, 2019)In this paper we consider a twofold Ellis–Gohberg type inverse problem in an abstract *-algebraic setting. Under natural assumptions, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution are obtained, and ... -
A twostep clustering algorithm as applied to crime data of South Africa
(Virtus Interpress, 2015)This study applied a TwoStep cluster analysis on the 29 serious crimes reported at 1119 police stations across South Africa for the 2009/2010 financial year. Due to this high number of variables and observations, it becomes ... -
Type of dietary fat intakes in relation to all-cause and cause-specific mortality in US adults: an iso-energetic substitution analysis from the American National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey linked to the US mortality registry
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2018)Accumulating evidence indicates that saturated fat intake is related to mortality risk increase, whereas unsaturated fat intake is associated with reduced mortality risk. The aim of the present study was to estimate the ...
