A highly resourceful magnetically separablemagnetic nanoparticles from aqueous peel extract of Bottle gourds for organic dyes degradation
(Elsevier, 2017)Present work, described the green synthesis of Pd supported Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles BG/Pd/Fe3O4MNPs from aqueous Peel extract of Bottlegourds (BG) which act as reducing and capping agent. Synthesized nanoparticles of ... -
A historical overview of the general implementation of the European Union Market Abuse Directive in the United Kingdom before Brexit and its future implications
(Sage, 2017)TThe European Union (EU) was arguably the first body to establish multinational anti-market abuse laws aimed at enhancing the detection and curbing of cross-border market abuse activities in its Member States. Put differently, ... -
A history of the Waterlit collection (1974-1999): A hard copy research collection on water studies and its digital catalogue
(University of the Free State // Institute for Contemporary History Sabinet, 2015)In the second half of the twentieth century South Africa built up a reputation as one of the foremost countries of the world in terms of water infrastructure development. Dam projects such as the Orange River Scheme and ... -
A HIV stigma reduction intervention for people living with HIV and their families
(Elsevier, 2016)Background The diagnosis of HIV is life-changing that requires people not only to deal with the disease but also to cope with the stigma attached to HIV. People living with HIV (PLWH) as well as their close family members ... -
A journey towards self-directed writing: a longitudinal study of undergraduate language students' writing
(Stellenbosch University: Library and Information Services, 2016)Writing is key to assessment in university contexts and hence students need to be empowered to effectively function in subject-specific writing environments. In this regard, it is important that students take charge of ... -
A Laboratory Investigation on the Role of Ethylene in Seed Germination from an Indigenous Knowledge Perspective
(National Association of Biology Teachers, 2017)This article provides ideas for a laboratory investigation into the role of the plant hormone ethylene in seed germination. The role of ethylene is explored from various perspectives, namely from an indigenous knowledge ... -
A long walk to obedience: missiology and mission under scrutiny (1910-2010)
(AOSIS, 2017)This article describes the discipline of missiology and mission over the last century since Edinburgh 1910 followed by two world wars to Edinburgh 2010, as a long walk to obedience - a walk in discerning God's will. Even ... -
A longitudinal study of the aftermath of rape among rural South African women
(American Psychological Association, 2017)OBJECTIVE: Sexual assaults against women are a global health crisis, with alarmingly high rates in South Africa. However, we know very little about the circumstances and the aftermath of these experiences. Further, there ... -
A model of collaboration between nursing education institutions in the North West Province of South Africa
(AOSIS, 2017)Background: Professional nursing in South Africa is obtained through a 4-year diploma offered at nursing colleges, or a 4-year degree in universities, and the South African Nursing Council (SANC) registered both for ... -
A motivation-based typology of road cyclists in the Cape Town Cycle tour South Africa
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)This research identified cyclists' main motives for participating in the Cape Town Cycle Tour, and segmented them accordingly. Six distinct motives were identified (in order of importance): commitment and event affiliation, ... -
A multiple exp-function method for the three model equations of shallow water waves
(SpringerSpringer, 2017)In this study, we consider three model equations of shallow water waves. Shallow water equations model the propagation of strongly nonlinear waves up to breaking and run-up in nearshore zones. We perform multiple exp-function ... -
A new method for solving a coagulation-fragmentation equation
(SAS International Publications, 2016)In this paper, we study the well-posedness of a nonlinear non-autonomous integro-differential equation modeling coagulationfragmentation processes. We construct two monotone sequences of upper and lower solutions, and ... -
A new strategy for heavy metal polluted environments: a review of microbial biosorbents
(MDPI, 2017)Persistent heavy metal pollution poses a major threat to all life forms in the environment due to its toxic effects. These metals are very reactive at low concentrations and can accumulate in the food web, causing severe ... -
A norm for an academic literacy placement test
(SAALT/SAVTO, 2016)A test series usually consists of various versions of a test. Test-takers and consumers of tests expect all these versions to be at the same level of difficulty, but this is very difficult to achieve at the test design ... -
A note on rational solutions to a Hirota-Satsuma-like equation
(Elsevier, 2016)With the generalized bilinear operators based on a prime number p = 3, a Hirota-Satsuma-like equation is proposed. Rational solutions are generated and graphically described by using symbolic computation software Maple. -
A note on the affine subgroup of the symplectic group
(University of Isfahan, 2016)We examine the symplectic group Sp2m(q) and its corresponding affine subgroup?. ?We construct the affine subgroup and show that it is a split extension?. ?As an illustration of the above we study the affine subgroup 25:Sp4(2) ... -
A novel method for solving a coagulation-fragmentation model with growth
