Investigation of structural and optical properties of biosynthesized Zincite (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) via an aqueous extract of Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaves
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2020)
Biosynthesized Zincite nanoparticles have been successfully demonstrated by a completely green process mediated aqueous extract of rosemary leaves acting as both reducing and stabilizing agents and zinc nitrate hexahydrate ...
Development of a low purity aluminum alloy (Al6082) anodization process and its application as a platinum-based catalyst in catalytic hydrogen combustion
(Elsevier, 2020)
In this study, we present a process to prepare a Pt/anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) catalyst for catalytic hydrogen combustion applications using low cost and low aluminum (Al) purity Al6082 alloy (97.5% Al) as the substrate. ...
The Khutsong housing project and power relationships: an application of Lukes’ three dimensions of power
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
This article critically examines power relationships amongst actors in a local housing development project in the Khutsong township in South Africa. For this purpose, actors’ interpretations and actions of their project ...
Cardiovascular proteomics
(Elsevier, 2020)
Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. They develop over long periods of time, and are typically caused by multiple factors, and interaction with the environment. Proteomics allows ...
An assessment of the influence of host species, age, and thallus part on kelp-associated diatoms
(MDPI, 2020)
Diatom community composition and abundances on different thallus parts of adult and
juvenile specimens of Ecklonia maxima and Laminaria pallida were examined in False Bay, South
Africa, using light and scanning electron ...
Politics and community-based research: perspectives from Yeoville Studio, Johannesburg
(Wits Univ Press, 2020)
Honest, self-examining, critical literature on community-based
research is a rare commodity. A considerable portion of the current
literature on community-based research succumbs to the temptation of
romanticising the ...
Global trends of green pesticide research from 1994 to 2019: a bibliometric analysis
(Journal of Toxicology, 2021)
The fast-growing world population places food production under enormous pressure to ensure food security. One of the most common methods to increase food production is the use of pesticides, but the continuous use thereof ...
The cardiotonic steroid marinobufagenin is a predictor of increased left ventricular mass in obesity: the African-PREDICT study
(MDPI, 2020)
The endogenous Na+/K+-ATPase inhibitor, marinobufagenin (MBG), strongly associates with salt intake and a greater left ventricular mass index (LVMi) in humans and was shown to promote cardiac fibrosis and hypertrophy in ...
Anti-melanoma activities of artemisone and prenylated amino-artemisinins in combination with known anticancer drugs
(Frontiers Media, 2020)
The most frequently occurring cancers are those of the skin, with melanoma being the leading cause of death due to skin cancer. Breakthroughs in chemotherapy have been achieved in certain cases, though only marginal advances ...
Sodium silicate cold-bonded chromite pellets for the ferrochromium industry: identifying a suitable process
(Dep. de Engenharia de Materiais, 2020)
Chromite fines (defined as particles smaller than 6 mm) account for a significant fraction of mined South African chromite ore. These fines are pelletized to allow safe furnace smelting conditions. However, pelletization ...
