Life history traits of South African Encephalartos spp. (Zamiaceae) and their implications for understanding population structure, responses to threats and effective conservation a... by Konings, Kim Martina

“…The groups were not found to correspond with the most recent phylogeny for Encephalartos and thus phylogenetic constraints were excluded. An analysis of environmental variables for 193 populations of species in all groups, including maximum and minimum temperatures, mean annual precipitation, moisture index, rainfall co-efficient of variation and fire return frequency, showed that the means per group were not significantly different from each other for most of the variables. …”

Predicting district level HIV prevalence in South Africa using medicine ordering data by Liebenberg, Juandre

“…The impact of high quantities of antiretroviral drugs ordered by metropolitan municipalities resulted in an underestimation of prevalence in those regions due to the negative relationship between the dependent variable Prevalence and the independent Quantity variable. …”

Characterising the Namaqualand Mudbelt: Chronology, Palynology and Palaeoenvironments by Gray, Catherine Elizabeth Darnell

“…This multiproxy study explores the palaeoenvironmental record of two cores, H2 and H7, from the Namaqualand Mudbelt representing an arid and highly variable landscape. As bulk organic radiocarbon ages previously proved problematic, with anomalous reversals, the primary objective was to improve chronology and palaeoenvironmental reconstructions through high resolution 813C, 81SN and pollen analysis, with the aid of principal component analysis. …”

Simulating the Characteristics of Tropical Cyclones over the South-West Indian Ocean: Sensitivity to Model Horizontal Resolution by Donkin, Paige Tayla

“…This study investigates the performance of four global climate models and one variable-resolution climate model in simulating the characteristics of SWIO TC activity through both a climatological and individual event analysis, and investigates the influence of horizontal resolution on the simulated TC characteristics. …”

Red Sea Intermediate Water in the greater Agulhas Current system by Roman, Raymond Edward

“…The spreading and contribution of RSIW has been established previously by combining all available hydrographic data. Considering the variable seasonal formation of RSIW and complex circulations patterns along its path south one would expect variable input of RSIW into the Agulhas Current system. …”

A spectroscopic study of square planar rhodium(I) complexes by Hall, Philip Simon

“…Fluxionality of the ligands (L) was observed and the exchange process was monitored by variable temperature nmr. The enthalpy and entropy values for the intermolecular exchange of L in the complexes cis-[Rh(CO)₂(X)(L)] were obtained by a complete computer simulated band shape analysis of the carbonyl region of the ¹³C nmr spectra. …”

Development of a Dusky kob scFv gene phage display library for the discovery of antibodies to Brome mosaic virus - a proxy for a novel, emerging fish pathogen by Naylor, Kyle Andrew

“…Consequently, antibodies expressed by a diverse repertoire of genes coding for the single chain variable fragment (scFv) of immunoglobulin M can be isolated and screened for affinity to a specific infectious agent or parasite. …”
