Structure-activity relationship studies of 2-phenylbenzimidazoles and related organometallic complexes as antiplasmodial agents by Rylands, Laa-iqa

“…Preliminary mechanistic studies suggested that the synthesised benzimidazoles may have a different mode of action to chloroquine as the compounds did not inhibit β-haematin formation at the maximum concentration of 500 µM.…”

The entanglement of culture, leadership and performance in information systems development projects by Geeling, Sharon

“…An interpretive research paradigm and inductive reasoning were adopted for this research and understanding is developed through a hermeneutic mode of inquiry. Two IS projects responsible for delivering strategic benefit to an organization in the financial services sector are the two cases in this study. …”

A Decade of Hepatitis C at the UCT/GSH Liver Clinic in the Pre-DAA era by Nordien, Rozeena

“…Ethnically, the majority were white (55.9%) or mixed-ancestry (21.8%), 16.4% were HIV co-infected, 3.7% hepatitis B (HBV) co-infected and 0.4% triple infected with HCV, HBV and HIV. The most likely mode of HCV acquisition was blood/blood product exposure prior to 1992 (32.8%) and injecting drug use (IDU) 17.6%, while 30.3%, had no clear risk factor identifiable. …”

Long-term climate variability at the Prince Edward Islands in the Southern Ocean by Shangheta, Anna Liisa Penelao Tulimevava

“…The seasonal cycle of the air pressure is significantly associated with that of rainfall, showing that the bimodal high air pressure signature resulting from the Semi-annual Oscillation (SAO) is associated with a decrease in rainfall. The Southern Annual Mode (SAM) was significantly yet weakly correlated with the SST (0.24), rainfall (-0.25) and air pressure (0.16), indicating that it does have an impact at the PEIs but not as strong as previously speculated. …”

Interannual variability and long-term trends of surface hydrography around the Prince Edward Island Archipelago, Southern Ocean by Toolsee, Tesha

“…This study thus makes use of 23 years (1993 – 2016) of satellite and reanalysis data to determine the annual/interannual and long-term variability of Sea Surface Temperature (SST), wind forcing and surface circulation at the PEIs and determine whether natural modes of climate variability like the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Southern Annular Mode (SAM) or SemiAnnual Oscillation (SAO) were affecting these parameters. …”

Distribution network performance improvement using load compensation by Ojo, Alaba

“…Such loads include Adjustable speed drives (ASD), High voltage Direct current (HVDC) system, traction systems, electric arc furnace, flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS), heating, ventilation and Air conditioning (HVAC) and loads with switch-mode power supplies. These power electronics-based devices draw nonsinusoidal currents which increased the reactive power demand from the source and other effects such as current and voltage distortion, errors in metering and malfunctioning of protective equipment, increased heating in conductors and power transformers, poor voltage regulation due in the supply's distribution system due to resonance condition. …”

The effect of ultrasound on the root meristem of Zea mays by Hering, Egbert Raymond

“…In parallel with this development a revival has occurred in studies of the mode of biological action of this form of radiation and, at the same time, "it has become apparent that the significance of much of the extensive pioneering work in this field is vitiated by the lack of an adequate system for measuring and reporting physical parameters of irradiation" (Hill, 1970). …”
