Modified tests for exponentiality in the presence of Type II right censored data
(Wiley, 2019)The exponential distribution is one of the most popular choices of model, especially in survival analysis and reliability theory. Typically, to test the hypothesis that the underlying distribution of lifetimes are exponentially ... -
Modifying contract law principles to accommodate automated transactions in South Africa
(North-West University, 2018)Modern electronic commerce is chiefly characterised by the use of unattended computers in the negotiation and conclusion of agreements. Commonly referred to as "electronic agents," these computers assist their users to ... -
Modifying software systems to improve user adoption
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)Industry 4.0 has driven the digitisation of large scale industrial and mining operations. This introduced the burden of large volumes of data to process. Data from industrial systems is usually processed by specialised ... -

Modifying the comet assay for measuring global DNA methylation in a variety of tissue cells
(North-West University, 2010)It is becoming abundantly clear that DNA methylation plays a crucial role in gene regulation and that aberrant regulation of DNA methylation influences the development of certain diseases such as cancer. Although a wide ... -
A modular framework for the effective development of web-based applications
(North-West University, 2018)A significant part of the software development life cycle consists of maintenance. Software maintenance is crucial to ensure that bugs are fixed, and continuous updates are applied to increase performance. Regular maintenance ... -
Modulated synthesis of zirconium-metal organic framework (Zr-MOF) for hydrogen storage applications
(Elsevier, 2014)A modulated synthesis of Zr-metal organic framework (Zr-MOF) with improved ease of handling and decreased reaction time is reported to yield highly crystalline Zr-MOF with well-defined octahedral shaped crystals for practical ... -
The modulating effect of myo-inositol and other antidepressants on the mRNA levels and protein expression of selected subcellular enzymes
(North-West University, 2005)Myo-lnositol (mIns), a natural component of the human diet and essential precursor of several signalling pathways, including that of G protein-coupled receptors, has also been shown to be effective in the treatment of ... -
The modulating effect of myo-inositol and prototypical antidepressants on markers of cellular resilience in cultured human neuroblastoma cells
(North-West University, 2006)Although several antidepressants are available for the treatment of depression, certain limitations are common, including drug resistance and significant side effects. Recently, several studies indicated the possibility ... -
The modulating effect of sildenafil on cell viability and on the function of selected pharmacological receptors in cell cultures
(North-West University, 2004)Since sildenafil's (Viagra®), a phospodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, approval for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction (MED) in the United States early 1998, 274 adverse event reports were filed by the Food and ... -
The modulating effects of selected antidepressants and related drugs on markers of cellular resilience in cultured human neuroblastoma cells
(North-West University, 2008)The neurodegenerative hypothesis of depression postulates that major depression is associated with impaired neuroplasticity, particularly in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, and that effectiveness of antidepressants ... -
Modulation of drug efflux by aloe materials: an in vitro investigation across rat intestinal tissue
(Medknow, 2013)Background: Clinically, significant herb-drug interactions have been previously documented and can be pharmacodynamic and/or pharmacokinetic in nature. Pharmacokinetic interactions have been attributed to induction or ... -
Modulation of galactic cosmic ray protons and electrons during an unusual solar minimum
(IOP Publishing, 2009)During the latest Ulysses out-of-ecliptic orbit the solar wind density, pressure, and magnetic field strength have been the lowest ever observed in the history of space exploration. Since cosmic ray particles respond to ... -
Modulation of galactic cosmic rays in a north-south asymmetrical heliosphere
(Elsevier, 2011)Observations made with the two Voyager spacecraft confirmed that the solar wind decelerates to form the heliospheric termination shock. Voyager 1 crossed this termination shock at ∼94 AU in 2004, while Voyager 2 crossed ... -
The modulation of galactic cosmic rays over a solar cycle
(North-West University (South Africa), 2016)This work studied the modulation of galactic cosmic rays in the heliosphere by using a well-established, time dependent numerical modulation model to calculate cosmic ray transport inside the heliosphere over a solar ... -
The modulation of galactic cosmic-ray electrons in the heliosheath
(IOP Publishing, 2010)Voyager 1 has observed strong increases in the intensities of 2-160 MeV electrons since crossing the termination shock of the heliosphere in 2004 December. Before this time these intensities were submerged below the detector ... -
Modulation of galactic electrons in the heliosphere during the unusual solar minimum of 2006-2009: a modeling approach
(IOP Publishing, 2015)The last solar minimum activity period, and the consequent minimum modulation conditions for cosmic rays, was unusual. The highest levels of Galactic protons were recorded at Earth in late 2009 in contrast to expectations. ... -
Modulation of galactic protons in the heliosphere during the unusual solar minimum of 2006 to 2009
(Springer Verlag, 2014)The last solar minimum activity period, and the consequent minimum modulation conditions for cosmic rays, was unusual. The highest levels of galactic protons were recorded at Earth in late 2009 in contrast to expectations. ... -
Modulation of specific inhibitory networks in fatigued locomotor muscles of healthy males
(Springer, 2018)Reduced maximal force capability of skeletal muscle, as a consequence of exercise, can be due to peripheral or central fatigue mechanisms. In upper-limb muscles, neuromuscular fatigue is concurrent with reduced corticospinal ... -
The modulatory effects of sildenafil and the cholinergic system on antidepressant action in a rat model of depression
(North-West University, 2006)Sildenafil, a selective phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, is registered for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction (Viagra®) and pulmonary hypertension (Revatio®) in the United States. PDE5 is found in the ...
