Flamingo foraging plasticity: ecological drivers and impacts by Gihwala, Kirti Narendra

“…The latter was achieved through RandomForest modelling techniques that identified the prominent ecological drivers from a suite of biotic and abiotic variables. Results indicate that biotic variables, i.e. those associated with flamingo prey assemblages, were key in driving choices made by flamingos to forage and to implement either pit- or channel-foraging strategies. …”

Variation of surface properties of ceramic and composite nanostructures and their measurements by a novel approach using perichromic dyes by Tayel, Amr Mohamed

“…The as-prepared TiO2 nanoparticles were used to prepare TiO2-G and TiO2-GO nanocomposites by mixing followed by sonication and stirring. The variables in the prepared nanocomposites were the percentage of the added G or GO together with the different TiO2 particle size. …”

Profiling medulloblastoma and juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma brain tumours in a South African paediatric cohort by Nair, Omesan

“…Brain tumours in children are one of the most challenging diseases to treat, and so outcomes are variable and often lacking. There are currently no reliable data of presentation of disease, the spectrum of tumours treated, how these are treated, and what the outcomes are for children in South Africa, and certainly no molecular biology data. …”

Numerical modelling of the Oldroyd-B fluid by Vundla, Nkosilathi

“…In addition to the standard finite element approach for the momentum equation, the discontinuous Galerkin method is used for the constitutive relation of the fluid model, with the extra stress as the unknown variable. The model developed is verified by using the symmetric “flow over a cylinder” benchmark problem. …”
