Investigating cortical arousal and cognition in schizophrenia and methamphetamine-induced psychotic disorder: an electroencephalography and cytokine study by Williams, Kimberley Clare

“…This study aimed to investigate key differences in brain electrical activity on EEG between SCZ and MPD by investigating; (1) relative frequency (alpha, theta, beta and delta) at rest; (2) cognitive performance and relative frequency activity during the continuous performance task (CPT) and cued target detection task (CTD); (3) differences in the P300 event-related potential waveform (ERP), a measure of attention, during the CPT and CTD; (4) cognitive performance and relative frequency and ERP (N170, P300) during the STROOP task, a measure of working memory and executive function; (5) the associations of (neuro) inflammatory markers with relative frequency and the P300 ERP waveform. …”

Investigation of particulate Bluetongue virus vaccines made in plants by Gwynn, Abigail

“…Finally, since there was insufficient coupled protein product for immunisation doses, only the immunogenicity of the plant produced chimeric BTV1/8 VLPs compared with the BTV8 VLPs were tested. Five guinea pigs per vaccine group (BTV8 VLPs and chimeric BTV1/8 VLPs) were immunised with 15ug of the appropriate vaccine and boosted 13 days later. …”

A mechanistic approach to understanding the colour polymorphism in black sparrowhawks (Accipiter melanoleucus) by Nebel, Carina

“…Colour polymorphic species provide ideal study systems to explore the processes that lead to variation maintenance. About 3.5% of all bird species are colour polymorphic, but it is an especially common phenomenon in Accipitridae (22%), which indicates that it has an adaptive function in this bird group and makes them ideal model systems to study evolutionary processes. …”

The formulation and refinement of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for early diagnosis of paediatric HIV infection and genetic analysis of variants involved in vertical tran... by Nolte, Jeanine Lucasta

“…Preliminary requirements involved the selection of primers and probes and establishing optimal parameters for: ionic strength, Taq DNA polymerase concentration, primer concentration, deoxynucleotide triphosphate concentration, and hybridization conditions for most efficient functioning of the test. The devised method entailed the extraction of proviral DNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells, amplification of HIV-1 specific sequences by PCR, and identification by Southern blot hybridization with digoxigenin (DIG)-labelled probes. …”

Investigating the effects of enhanced catecholamine stimulation in stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes by Samodien, Kauthar

“…In addition, the application of the ryanodine receptor agonist, caffeine (0.5mM, 5 minutes), resulted in a ten-fold increase in the amplitude of contraction for iso-treated EBs compared to a two-fold increase in the untreated and pindolol-treated EBs. …”

The design of a data model (DM) for managing durability index (DI) results for national road infrastructure by Govender, Daniel

“…Lastly, a method is proposed using joint probability density functions of Durability Index (DI) test results and the achieved cover depth to calculate the probability that both random variables are out of specification limits.…”
