Generic source term determination for tailings storage facilities in the East Rand Basin
(North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2018)The prolonged leaching of gold tailings is a continuous concern in the East Rand Basin typically resulting in acid generation and the release of elements. The leachable constituents from the tailings influences the water ... -
The genesis and geological environment of the Bushveld magnetite in the area southwest of the Lulu mountains
(North-West University (South Africa), 1964)"Abstract not copied" -
Genesis en teologie: ’n antwoord op Nico Vorster se seining van Genesis 1-3 as polemiese teologie
(The Association for Christian Higher Education / Die Vereniging vir Christelike Hoër OnderwysSABINET, 2010)From a reformed dogmatic and apologetic viewpoint, this article investigates the new understanding of Genesis 1-3 as theological material with a polemic and prophetic purpose. This is what dr Nico Vorster wants to bring ... -
The genesis of the Hehuashan Pb-Zn deposit and implications for the Pb-Zn prospectivity of the Tongling district, Middle-Lower Yangtze River Metallogenic Belt, Anhui Province, China
(Elsevier, 2018)The Hehuashan lead-zinc deposit is located in the central Tongling Cu-Au-Mo mining district of eastern China and consists of stratabound ore bodies that are generally hosted by dolostone and limestone units of the Lower ... -
The genesis of the Hehuashan Pb-Zn deposit and implications for the Pb-Zn prospectivity of the Tongling district, Middle–Lower Yangtze River Metallogenic Belt, Anhui Province, China
(Elsevier, 2018)The Hehuashan lead–zinc deposit is located in the central Tongling Cu–Au–Mo mining district of eastern China and consists of stratabound ore bodies that are generally hosted by dolostone and limestone units of the Lower ... -
Genetic algorithm based PID tuning for optimal power control of a three-shaft Brayton cycle based power conversion unit
(Elsevier, 2012)This paper considers the development of a PID control strategy to optimally control the power output of a High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR) power plant. A specific type of HTGR called the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor ... -
Genetic and dietary determinants of Type 2 diabetes in a black South African population
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)Background: The increasing burden of T2D is a global cause of concern. However in Africa where the countries are ill equipped to manage this pandemic, the prevalence of T2D will increase the most by 2030 compared to other ... -
Genetic and perinatal risk factors for movement disorders
(North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus., 2018)Movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD) and cerebral palsy (CP) are debilitating diseases with a great societal impact. These disorders are characterized by damage to the basal ... -
Genetic and phenotypic variation among four Nguni sheep breeds using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and morphological features
(Springer, 2015)This study was conducted to investigate phenotypic and genetic differentiation among the four Nguni sheep breeds. Sheep with two permanent incisors and above were sampled from areas, namely KwaZulu-Natal (Zulu ... -
Genetic characterisation of delta-5 and delta-6 fatty acid desaturases and associations with fatty acid status in pregnant women of African descent
(North-West University (South-Africa), 2021)Introduction and aim - Globally, dietary habits have shifted over the years from a traditional rural diet to a more Westernised diet. This has caused a drastic change in the intake ratio of n-6:n-3 polyunsaturated fatty ... -
Genetic characterisation of novel G29P[14] and G10P[11] rotavirus strains from African buffalo
(Elsevier, 2020)We report the first description of rotavirus A strains in African buffalo (Syncerus caffer). Following RNA extraction from stool samples, cDNA was prepared, followed either by sequence-independent amplification and 454 ... -
Genetic characterization of tick-borne pathogens in ticks infesting cattle and sheep from three South African provinces
(Elsevier, 2019)Ticks are involved in the transmission of many public health and veterinary important pathogens. Although tick-borne pathogens are widely distributed in South Africa, information on tick-pathogen relationship needs to be ... -
Genetic comparisons of fall armyworm populations from 11 countries spanning sub-Saharan Africa provide insights into strain composition and migratory behaviors
(Nature, 2019)The recent discovery of fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda, J.E. Smith) in Africa presents a significant threat to that continent’s food security. The species exhibits several traits in the Western Hemisphere that if ... -
Genetic diversity and nitrogen fixation in underutilized tropical legumes
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Legumes in some cases are underutilized and form only a relatively small proportion of human diets. In general they fix atmospheric nitrogen which may provide an economic advantage for smallholder farmers. By appropriate ... -
Genetic diversity and phylogeny of South African Meloidogyne populations using genotyping by sequencing
(Nature, 2018)Meloidogyne species cause great crop losses worldwide. Although genetic host plant resistance is an effective control strategy to minimize damage caused by Meloidogyne, some resistant genes are ineffective against virulent ... -
The genetic diversity of blood parasites within the freshwater turtles Mauremys leprosa and Emys orbicularis in Tunisia reveals coinfection with Haemogregarina spp.
(Springer, 2020)Haemogregarina species are apicomplexan blood parasites infecting vertebrates such as fish, lizards, and turtles. Due to the high morphological similarity of the erythrocytic stages infecting host species, it has always ... -
Genetic diversity of Vetiver clones (Chrysopogon zizanioides and Chrysopogon nigritana) available in South Africa based on sequencing analyses and anatomical structure
(2014)Vetiver grass or Chrysopogon zizanioides (L.) Roberty (1960) is a sterile grass which can regenerate vegetatively from clumps of the rootstock. This, as well as its vigorous and deep root system and flood tolerance makes ... -
Genetic diversity of vetiver isolates (Chrysopogon zizanioides/nigritanus) available in South Africa based on ITS, ndhF and rbcL sequencing analyses
(Elsevier, 2013)Vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides (L.) Roberty) is sterile and only regenerates vegetatively from clumps of the rootstock. Together with its vigorous and deep root system this makes it ideal for use in soil ...
