Genetic manipulation of sucrose-storing tissue to produce alternative products by Nell, Hanlie

“…For this purpose an extensive screening process with different combinations of variables were conducted. Though the relationships between these variables proved to be complex, it was concluded that immature zygotic embryos could be used to initiate a genotype-independent totipotent regeneration system with a 65% callus induction rate, provided that initiation takes place during summer. …”

Association between infant feeding practices and infant growth by maternal HIV and antiretroviral therapy status: A prospective study in Cape Town, South Africa by Rhoda, Janice

“…Feeding data and infant anthropometry were collected at birth, 7 days, 10 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months postpartum. Infant weight and length at birth were converted to weight-for-age (WAZ) and length-forage (LAZ) using Intergrowth-21st software, and the World Health Organization (WHO)-Anthro survey analyzer tool was used to obtain these and weight-for-length z-scores (WLZ) from 10 weeks old. …”

The effect of clothing and carrion biomass load on decomposition and scavenging in a forensically significant thicketed habitat in Cape Town, South Africa by Jan Spies, Maximilian

“…The decay of ten ~60 kg porcine carcasses, as proxies for human decomposition, was quantitatively examined using daily weight loss. This occurred over two consecutive summers and winters between 2018 and 2020, initially comparing clothed versus unclothed carcasses, then examining single clothed carcasses to ascertain the effect of carrion biomass load. …”
