Investigating associations between maternal mental health on wheeze through two years of age in a South African birth cohort study by Macginty, Rae

“…Conclusion: Maternal postnatal psychological distress and postnatal IPV had the strongest impact on predicting wheeze outcomes. These findings suggest that screening and treatment programs which address maternal postnatal psychosocial risk factors may lessen the burden of childhood wheeze in LMIC settings.…”

Creating and analysing an African pan-genome by Bourn, Jessica Jean

“…For each group, nucleotide sequences that were absent from the human reference genome were assembled and extracted, which resulted in the identification of 43.37 Mbp of non-redundant non-reference genomic sequence and 31 novel predicted protein-coding genes from African individuals. …”

Recruitment variability of Chokka squid (Loligo Reynaudii) - the role of the cold ridge, currents and retention on the Agulhas Bank, South Africa by Roberts, Michael J

“…Importantly, the cold ridgeâcopepod biomassâsquid biomass relationship has been quantified, and holds promise for prediction. Prediction will be further strengthened if, in the future, advective paralarval loss can be linked to early retroflection of the Agulhas Current.…”

Geometric and numerical optimisation of single- and two-phase convective heat transfer in microchannel heat sinks by Ariyo, David Olugbenga

“…The numerical code used for the simulations in two-phase flow was validated by the available experimental data in the literature and the agreement showed the capability of CFD (ANSYS) to predict accurately, subcooled flow boiling (two-phase flow) in the microchannels for cooling of microelectronic devices. …”
