The recognition and implementation of children's socio-economic rights in Ethiopian law
(2014)This research examines the current recognition and implementation of children’s socio-economic rights in Ethiopian law. Ethiopia has ratified international instruments of children’s rights, to wit, the Convention on the ... -
The recognition of euthanasia and physicianassisted suicide in South African law
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2023)This study assesses the current legal position of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide in South Africa and the possibility of legalizing the two practices. Currently, the legal position of euthanasia and physician-assisted ... -
The recombinant expression and enzymatic charaterisation of human ACSM2 ligase.
(North-West University (South Africa), 2023-10)Glycine conjugation is a highly conserved Phase 2 biotransformation reaction for xenobiotic carboxylic acids such as benzoate, salicylate, and medium-chain fatty acids. The glycine conjugation pathway can be saturated by ... -
Recombinant expression and functional characterisation of a putative clathrin assembly protein from arabidopsis thaliana
(North-West University (South Africa), 2015)The need to develop agricultural crops with persistent resistance to the vagaries of climate change has led plant biotechnologists to strategically focus on those plant molecules involved in the maintenance and sustenance ... -
Recombinant expression and functional characterization of a fusion F-box protein from A. thaliana
(North-West University (South Africa), 2012)Adenylate cyclases (A Cs) are enzymes that are capable of converting adenine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic 3', 5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). It has been found that cAMP has an important role in cell signalling and ... -
Recombinant expression and functional characterization of a G3-family protein from Arabidopsis thaliana
(North-West University (South Africa), 2016)Adenylate cyclases (ACs) are a diverse group of enzymes, which catalyze the formation of 3ʹ,5ʹ cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) from adenosine 5ʹ-triphophate (ATP). Cyclic AMP is a key secondary messenger known to be ... -
Recombinant expression and functional characterization of a novel toll interleukin receptor nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat protein from arabidopsis thaliana
(North-West University (South Africa), 2012)The presence of adenylate cyclases in higher plants has generally been questioned. A BLAST search of the Arabidopsis genome using a 14-amino acid motif with specificity for ATP binding bioinformatically identified the ... -
Recombinant expression and functional characterization of a putative pentatrico-peptide protein from Arabidopsis thaliana
(North-West University (South Africa), 2012)Food security appears to be heavily dependent on the development of crop plants with increased resistance to both biotic and abiotic stresses such as pathogen infections and droughts respectively. Plant biotechnology has ... -
Recombinant Expression and Molecular Elucidation of the Biochemical Functions of a Novel Linker Histone-like Protein from Arabidopsis thaliana
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Plants are sessile organisms and have evolved to live in environments exposed to various stress factors that may occur singly and/or in combination and as such, plants have to respond and adapt accordingly for survival. ... -
Recombinant Expression and Molecular Elucidation of the Dual Functional Properties of a Truncated Pentatricopeptide Repeat Protein from Arabidopsis thaliana
(North-West University (South Africa), 2017)Plants play essential roles in the general life systems of mankind even though they also tend to experience constant challenges during their own life cycles from periodic exposures to various environmental stimuli (e.g. ... -
Recombinant Expression of a Putative F-box Protein from Arabidopsis thaliana and Testing for its Possible Adenylate Cyclase Activity
(2013)Cyclic 3',5' adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a product of ATP hydrolysis catalyzed by the enzymes adenylate cyclases (ACs). These two groups of molecules (cAMP and ACs) have both been experimentally confirmed as key ... -
Recombinant Expression of a Truncated Arabidopsis AX4-like Protein and Molecular Characterization of its Enzymatic Activities
(North-West University (South Africa), 2016)Adenylate cyclases (ACs) are part of a group of integral membrane proteins that consist of six transmembrane segments and have two emerging catalytic domains. They are known for their role in catalyzing the conversion of ... -
Recombinant Newcastle disease viruses with targets for PCR diagnostics for rinderpest and peste des petits ruminants
(Elsevier, 2018)Since February 1st 2011, rinderpest (RP) has been officially declared eradicated worldwide. National authorities have been requested to destroy all their RP related materials. Nonetheless, their national reference laboratories ... -
Recombinant rotaviruses rescued by reverse genetics reveal the role of NSP5 hyperphosphorylation in the assembly of viral factories
(ASM, 2020)Rotavirus (RV) replicates in round-shaped cytoplasmic viral factories, although how they assemble remains unknown. During RV infection, NSP5 undergoes hyperphosphorylation, which is primed by the phosphorylation of a single ... -
Recommendation of a classification system and occupational exposure limits for chemical carcinogens
(2015)Introduction: An increased number of occupational cancers reported annually can be attributed to workers being exposed to hazardous chemical substances (HCSs) in their workplace. Carcinogen classification systems such as ... -
Recommendation on a suitable desalination process for the South African environment
(North-West University, 2010)Supplies of potable water from traditional sources have been increasingly depleted due to increasing world population and per capita water use. In South Africa fresh water is a vital, but scarce resource, distributed ... -
Recommendations towards a self-directed blended learning programme for German Second Additional Language teachers
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)The expectation on teachers in South Africa to be lifelong learners is emphasised in relevant policies and the importance thereof has often been reiterated in the literature. In practice, various factors hamper the ... -
Reconceptualising an e–Learning framework for South African public sector training
(North-West University, 2012)The emerging knowledge economy necessitates rapid skills development, to ensure that organisations sustain a competitive edge. Rapid skills acquisition would enable organisations, whether public or private sector, to take ... -
Reconceptualising history teachers' identities within the context of changing curriculum.
(School of Basic Sciences, Vaal Triangle Campus, North-West University, 2006)Teachers are considered by most policymakers and school change experts to be the centerpiece of educational change. Therefore, it is not surprisingly that many current educational reform efforts in South Africa are directed ... -
Reconceptualising sustainability assessment
(Elsevier, 2017)Sustainability assessment as an ex ante tool for directing decision-making towards sustainability has emerged in a diverse range of forms across the world over the past decade or so. This broad practice of sustainability ...
