Phylogenetic relationships and the effects of edaphic heterogeneity on the distribution of Wiborgia (Fabaceae) in the Greater Cape Floristic region by Moiloa, Ntwai

“…This involved (i) inferring phylogenetic relationships within the genus using multiple molecular markers and testing the monophyly and the support of Dahlgren's (1975) morphological subgeneric classification; (ii) determining nutritional characteristics of soils occupied by different Wiborgia species and compare them with sites where Wiborgia species have not been recorded to occur and testing whether Wiborgia species occupy habitats with similar nutrient concentrations; (iii) evaluating the potential of Wiborgia species to grow and nodulate in soils from within and outside distribution range and characterizing of rhizobia nodulating Wiborgia species in field and glasshouse conditions. …”

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in a South African cohort with a high HIV prevalence: an analysis by cell-oforigin, Epstein-Barr virus infection and survival by Cassim, Sumaiya

“…Multivariate regression analysis showed that in the HIVinfected group with marked immunosuppression (CD4 <150 cells/mm3), there was significantly poorer overall survival compared to the HIV-uninfected group (HR 2.4, 95% CI 1.3–4.1). …”

Unravelling multidimensions of the flora of Kenya floristics, herbivory defences, and phylogenetic diversity by Kimeu, John

“…The purpose of the study is achieved by focusing on the following four objectives: (1) assessing plant species composition and climate to present correlative support for the three African phytochoria divisions (Afromontane Archipelago, Somali-Masai and Zanzibar-Inhambane) prominent in the vegetation of Kenya; (2) investigate evidence for species filtering on the basis of soil properties maintaining broad-leaved non-spiny Combretum – Terminalia and narrow-leaved spiny Acacia – Commiphora woodlands mosaics in a mesic savanna ecosystem in south-eastern Kenya; (3) to evaluate structural and chemical plant defense manifestations between woody plants of the broad-leaved non-spiny Combretum – Terminalia and narrow-leaved spiny Acacia – Commiphora woodlands studied in Objective 2; and (4) to infer age, phylogenetic diversity and structure for the phytochoria of Africa predominantly represented in the vegetation of Kenya. …”

Evaluation of the residual prestress force in aged railway concrete sleepers considered for reuse by Seketema, Nonofo Olefile

“…The study involved sampling 21 P2 concrete sleepers, comprising eighteen old sleepers (manufactured in 1977) and three new sleepers (manufactured in 2006). Six of the 21 sleepers were used to determine compressive and tensile strength values of concrete and steel wires, respectively, while the remaining 15 sleepers were subjected to dynamic relaxation testing. …”
