Maximal ergodic inequalities for Banach function spaces
(Elsevier, 2016)
We analyse the Transfer Principle, which is used to generate weak type maximal inequalities for ergodic operators, and extend it to the general case of σσ-compact locally compact Hausdorff groups acting measure-preservingly ...
Ozone exposure of Flinders Sensitive Line rats is a rodent translational model of neurobiological oxidative stress with relevance for depression and antidepressant response
(Springer, 2015)
Rationale Major depression has been associated with higher
levels of air pollution that in turn leads to neurodegeneration
via increased oxidative stress. There is a need for suitable
translational animal models to study ...
Dual radiolabeling as a technique to track nanocarriers: the case of gold nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2015)
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have shown great potential for use in nanomedicine and nanotechnologies due to their ease of synthesis and functionalization. However, their apparent biocompatibility and biodistribution is still ...
A new species of microphallid (Trematoda: Digenea) infecting a novel host family, the Muraenidae, on the northern Great Barrier Reef, Australia
(Springer, 2016)
A new species of microphallid, Longiductotrema tethepae n. sp., is reported from a muraenid eel Gymnothorax pseudothyrsoideus (Bleeker) on the northern Great Barrier Reef. The new species is described based on adults from ...
Estimates of CO2 fluxes over the city of Cape Town, South Africa, through Bayesian inverse modelling
(EGU, 2018)
We present a city-scale inversion over Cape Town, South Africa. Measurement sites for atmospheric CO2 concentrations were installed at Robben Island and Hangklip lighthouses, located downwind and upwind of the metropolis. ...
All solutions to an operator Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem
(Springer, 2018)
The main results presented in this paper provide a complete and explicit description of all solutions to the left tangential operator Nevanlinna– Pick interpolation problem assuming the associated Pick operator is strictly ...
Silver/nickel oxide (Ag/NiO) nanocomposites produced via a citrate sol-gel route as electrocatalyst for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) in alkaline medium
(Springer, 2018)
A series of Ag/NiO nanocomposite electrocatalysts, with a general molecular formula of Ag x Ni1 − xO, was synthesised employing the citrate sol-gel route and tested for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in 0.1 M KOH ...
Landscape history, time lags and drivers of change: urban natural grassland remnants in Potchefstroom, South Africa
(Springer, 2016)
Context
The history of the landscape directly affects biotic assemblages, resulting in time lags in species response to disturbances. In highly fragmented environments, this phenomenon often causes extinction debts. ...
Culicoides species composition and environmental factors influencing African horse sickness distribution at three sites in Namibia
(Elsevier, 2016)
African horse sickness (AHS) is one of the most lethal infectious, non-contagious, vector-borne disease of equids. The causative agent, African horse sickness virus (AHSV) is transmitted via Culicoides midges (Diptera: ...
Jovian electrons in the inner heliosphere: proposing a new source spectrum based on 30 years of measurements
(EDP Sciences, 2018)
Context. Since the Pioneer 10 flyby of Jupiter it has become well known that electrons of Jovian origin dominate the lower MeV range of charged energetic particles in the inner heliosphere.
Aims. Because the Jovian source ...
