Modelling cannibalism and inter-species predation for the Cape hake species Merluccius capensis and M. paradoxus by Ross-Gillespie, Andrea

“…In the case of Cape hake, however, cannibalism and inter-species predation form a very large component of hake mortality and food consumption, thus making a multi-species model not only more feasible but also likely more reliable. A comprehensive multi-species model incorporating these interactions was last investigated in 1995. …”

Impact evaluation of Funda Wande in-service teacher coaching intervention: Findings from the first year by Meiring, Christiaan

“…At this stage only suggestive results are presented for the potential mechanisms at play. Evidence across more than one indicator suggests that teachers in intervention schools are more likely to a) be more attuned to the actual reading proficiency levels of the learners in their class (both in terms of whether learners are at the top or the bottom of the distribution and how the class performs overall); b) to make use of graded readers - which were provided equivalently to both treatment and control schools - more frequently; and (c) to use instructional techniques that have previously shown to facilitate more individualised forms of learner reading practice and -teacher feedback. …”

Usability heuristics for fast crime data anonymization in resource-constrained contexts by Sakpere, Aderonke Busayo

“…However, because of the sensitivity of the data, it is expedient to consider the issue of privacy. More specifically, this thesis considers the issue of finding low-intensive computational solutions to protecting the data even from an "honest-but-curious" service provider, while at the same time generating datasets that can be queried efficiently and reliably. …”

Molecular methods for the detection of TEM- and SHV-related beta lactamase genes in members of the Enterobacteriaceae by Whitelaw, Andrew Christopher

“…Although TEM-1, TEM-2 and SHY-1 do not have activity against extended spectrum beta lactams, their derivatives (TEM-3 and SHY-2 onwards) are able to confer resistance to one or more of these antibiotics. A problem encountered in clinical microbiology laboratories is the lack of a reliable method for the detection of ESBLs, along with the lack of a quick, reliable method of differentiating TEM-related genes from SHY -related genes. …”
