Heavy metal contamination in the Black River, Cape Town by Gilbert, Lucy Jane

“…Due to the known disturbances to natural sedimentation in the Black River, it is doubtful that the fractions come from the same source. Also given the relatively low heavy metal concentration in the coarse grain fraction, it is likely that the majority of the sand in the sediment of the Black River derives from the coastline. …”

Development of scalable hybrid switching-based software-defined networking using reinforcement learning by Blose, Max

“…Consequently, the hybrid switch is more efficient than the Open Flow Switch when it comes to CPU load. The average CPU load for the Open Flow switch is fifteen percent (15%) higher than for the hybrid Switch. …”

Investigation of cystathionine β-synthase as a cause of mild hyperhomocysteinaemia in patients with peripheral vascular disease by De Wet, Barend J M

“…The incidence of CBS deficiency in a group of 12 young patients of varied ethnic origin, who had peripheral vascular disease (PVD) that could not be ascribed to any of the conventional risk factors and were selected for having hyperhomocysteinaemia, either in the fasting state or after methionine load, was investigated. Nine out of the ten patients tested, showed abnormally elevated plasma homocysteine levels after methionine load, indicating a high incidence of deficient transsulfuration, which may have been caused by defects in CBS. …”
