Quantifying spatial association between mineral deposits and geology across three African crustal segments of different age, with implication for secular change in mineralization d... by Mabidi, Tshifhiwa

“…The layers/themes used in Woffi are (1) lithology, (2) structures (faults and shear zones), and (3) lithological contacts. The analysis shows that there is strong lithology control on mineralization in all three areas. …”

Tuberculosis transcriptomics: host protection and immune evasion mechanisms by Ozturk, Mumin

“…We performed genome-wide transcriptional deep sequencing on total RNA in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) infected with hypervirulent Beijing strain (HN878) in an extensive time kinetic manner using single molecule sequencer and cap analysis gene expression (CAGE) technique. CAGE analysis revealed nearly 36000 unique RNA transcripts with approximately 16000 are not unannotated to a specific gene. …”

Retrospective review of the incidence of venous thromboembolism in pregnancy and the puerperium and identification of presenting complaints of pregnancy-related venous thromboembol... by Montgomery, Colin Jaco

“…The stepwise logistic regression for the multivariate analysis showed that both tachycardia (OR=1.03; 95% CI: 1.0 to 1.06; P=0.03) and coughing (OR=3.43; 95% CI: 0.88 to 11.30; P=0.05) predicted a positive pulmonary embolus. …”

Functional Genome Wide Association Study in Susceptibility and Resistance of Malaria by Kabongo, Etienne Ntumba

“…Five of these genes (HBB, HBD, ATP2B4, ABO, CBLB) had been reported by different studies to be associated with malaria. In the PRS analysis we have shown the best prediction based on the best threshold estimated of each population. …”

Post-mortem Lodox® as a potential substitute for histologic confirmation of pneumonia in sudden infant death investigation by Cook, Tracy Leanne

“…The Lodox® displayed a low sensitivity of 32% (17%, 51%) with a low positive predictive value of 42% (22%, 63%). Conversely, a high specificity of 80% (68%, 88%; p:0,21) in addition to a high negative predictive value of 72% (61%, 82%; p:0,21) was observed. …”

Applicability of rock physics models in conjunction with seismic inverted data to characterize a low poro-perm gas-bearing sandstone reservoir for well location optimization, Breda... by Adrian, Jorge Isaac

“…The primary focus of this dissertation is to develop a predictive rock physics theory that establishes relations between rock properties and the observed seismic and to present the results of different seismic characterization techniques to interpret a tight gas sand reservoir off the south coast of South Africa using as input rock physics analysis and inverted seismic outcomes. …”
