Effects of herbivore-induced disturbances on above- and belowground community heterogeneity within a semi-arid sodic African savanna
(North-West University (South Africa), 2022)Large mammalian herbivores (LMH) function as significant drivers of change within consumer-controlled grassy biomes, essentially maintaining Africa’s open ecosystems through numerous top-down and bottom-up feedbacks. These ... -
A kinetic expression for the pyrolytic decomposition of polyterafluoroethylene
(Elsevier, 2008)Despite the fact that the thermal decomposition of polytetrafluoroethylene has been extensively studied over the past six decades, some inconsistencies regarding the kinetic parameters, e.g. the order of the reaction, ... -
The use of hydrogen as a reductant in the smelting industry
(North-West University (South Africa), 2022)Both the smelting of chromite and manganese (Mn) ores consume a significant amount of carbon (C) and electrical energy. The smelting processes contribute to the elevation of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the atmosphere ...
