Understanding the characteristics of droughts over Eastern Africa in past and future climates by Nguvava, Mariam Melikizedek

“…However, resolution of CORDEX dataset (50km, i.e. 0.44deg) could be among the potential limitation as it is too low to capture the influence of local-scale processes (e.g. sea breeze, mountain induced circulations) on drought over the region.…”

Spatial variation in small mammal communities across the Karoo Shale Gas Development Area of South Africa by Nadine, Aboul-Hassan

“…Site assemblages were significantly nested, indicating that species at species-poor sites were subsets of those at richer sites; and thus, that site communities may have been structured by either long-term (ultimate) regional biogeographic processes (e.g. immigration and extinction related to distances between sites) or habitat filtering operating at local scales. …”

Towards tandem bio-chemo catalytic systems for the activation of alkanes and subsequent oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes using biofabricated Pd and Au catalysts by Govender, Mivashya

“…To develop value from the alkane feedstock and promote sustainable chemical manufacture, bio-catalysts are considered for terminal bond activation. This has been successfully demonstrated for the conversion of n-octane to 1-octanol using cytochrome P450 enzymes (Gudiminchi et al., 2012; Julsing et al., 2008; Meissner, 2013; Olaofe, 2013; Pennec et al., 2014). …”
