Criminal strategies of competing protagonists in the 'development' of Crossroads 1990-9: The Transition from Apartheid "oilspot" to democratic civil society by Greenwell, Anne W

“…As squatters they struggled for survival and the right to remain, under the leadership of a 'traditional' rural type Headman called Johnson Ngxobongwana, who negotiated on their behalf with the regional and local government authorities. A precarious and volatile balance of power between these and the informal-settlement leadership often resulting in conflict ensued and, it is claimed, had prevented socio-economic development of the area. …”

Achieving baseline states in sparsely connected spiking-neural networks: stochastic and dynamic approaches in mathematical neuroscience by Antrobus, Alexander Dennis

“…Several models have produced dynamically and statistically reasonable activity (to varying degrees) but almost all of these have relied on some driving component in the network, such as endogenous cells (i.e. cells which spontaneously fire) or wide-spread, randomised external input (put down to background noise from other brain regions). Perhaps it would be preferable to have a model where the system itself is capable of maintaining such a background state? …”

Facilitating golden mole conservation in South African highland grasslands : a predictive modelling approach by Rampartab, Chanel

“…In an attempt to raise awareness of these elusive grassland flagship taxa, the Endangered Wildlife Trust's Threatened Grassland Species Programme (EWT-TGSP) identified the need for more information on the distributions and conservation status of four poorly-known golden mole taxa (Amblysomus hottentotus longiceps, A. h. meesteri, A. robustus, A. septentrionalis) that are endemic to the Grassland Biome, and which may be heavily impacted by anthropogenic habitat alteration in the Highveld regions of Mpumalanga Province. This study employed species distribution modelling to predict the distributional ranges of these taxa, and involved four main processes: (i) creating initial models trained on sparse museum data records; (ii) ground-truthing field surveys during austral spring/summer to gather additional specimens at additional localities; (iii) genetic analyses (using cytochrome-b) to determine the species identities of the newly-acquired specimens, as these taxa are morphologically indistinguishable; and (iv) refining the models and determining the conservation status of these Highveld golden moles. …”

An experimental approach to assess the role of nest predation in the population dynamics of the sociable weaver (Philetairus socius) by Lloyd, Kyle

“…This is the first study that used an experimental approach to assess the effect of nest predation on the population dynamics of the sociable weaver (Philetairus socius), a keystone species in the semi-arid savannas of the Kalahari and Namib regions. Snakes were excluded from five colonies for five breeding seasons and two colonies for three breeding seasons, with another eight colonies acting as the controls. …”
