Investigating cortical arousal and cognition in schizophrenia and methamphetamine-induced psychotic disorder: an electroencephalography and cytokine study by Williams, Kimberley Clare

“…This study aimed to investigate key differences in brain electrical activity on EEG between SCZ and MPD by investigating; (1) relative frequency (alpha, theta, beta and delta) at rest; (2) cognitive performance and relative frequency activity during the continuous performance task (CPT) and cued target detection task (CTD); (3) differences in the P300 event-related potential waveform (ERP), a measure of attention, during the CPT and CTD; (4) cognitive performance and relative frequency and ERP (N170, P300) during the STROOP task, a measure of working memory and executive function; (5) the associations of (neuro) inflammatory markers with relative frequency and the P300 ERP waveform. …”

Managing herbivory over space and time: consequences for vegetation and cattle responses in African rangelands by Venter, Alexander S

“…Given that the functional composition of herbivory over Africa has been simplified to one dominated by grazers, namely cattle, I first explored evidence from paleoecology, historical literature and savanna ecology to test the hypothesis that mid-Holocene African savannas were dominated by herbivory as a means of cycling nutrients and changing vegetation whereas fire perhaps played a lesser role than it does today. …”

The formulation and refinement of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for early diagnosis of paediatric HIV infection and genetic analysis of variants involved in vertical tran... by Nolte, Jeanine Lucasta

“…Preliminary requirements involved the selection of primers and probes and establishing optimal parameters for: ionic strength, Taq DNA polymerase concentration, primer concentration, deoxynucleotide triphosphate concentration, and hybridization conditions for most efficient functioning of the test. The devised method entailed the extraction of proviral DNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells, amplification of HIV-1 specific sequences by PCR, and identification by Southern blot hybridization with digoxigenin (DIG)-labelled probes. …”
