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. …”
