Remote sensing for detecting rapid post-fire recovery as Groundwater-Dependent Ecosystems in the Cape Floristic Region by Chenge, Simcelile

“…The last level of analysis employed a kernel density estimator function to assess the recovery rate post-burn and use it to detect faster recovery as potential of wetlands to be GDEs; results showed that potential wetland GDEs experience rapid NDVI recovery > 236 days post-fire. …”

Early Lexical and Grammatical Development of Xitsonga Spoken in Giyani, Limpopo Using the Adapted Xitsonga MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory: Toddlers Form A P... by Ndhambi, Mikateko

“…This reflects a linear correlation (r = .45; p < .001) with age accounting for 20.5% of the variance. Of the total items in the Xitsonga MB-CDI, common nouns made up the largest proportion of acquired words (322 items), followed by predicates (208 items) and function words (68 items). …”

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. …”

A mechanistic approach to understanding the colour polymorphism in black sparrowhawks (Accipiter melanoleucus) by Nebel, Carina

“…Colour polymorphic species provide ideal study systems to explore the processes that lead to variation maintenance. About 3.5% of all bird species are colour polymorphic, but it is an especially common phenomenon in Accipitridae (22%), which indicates that it has an adaptive function in this bird group and makes them ideal model systems to study evolutionary processes. …”
