The effect of general relativistic frame dragging on millisecond pulsar visibility for the H.E.S.S. telescope
(North-West University, 2004)
It has been noted by several authors that General Relativistic frame dragging in rotating neutron stars is a first order effect which has to be included in a self-consistent model of pulsar magnetospheric structure and ...
Analysis of metallothionein gene expression in oxidative stress related disorders
(North-West University, 2004)
Increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been reported to be at the centre of various diseases. Although several reports have implicated elevated levels of ROS in the
pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus, the early ...

(North-West University, 2004)
The importance of studies on a complete anthropometric profile is stressed due to the lack of literature and due to the fact that athletes' morphological composition is one of the factors that contribute to performance. ...
Numerical methods to solve the fuel depletion equations for a nuclear reactor
(North-West University, 2004)
Different numerical methods for solving the fuel depletion equations in the depletion module of a reactor core analysis system are compared with each other, in order to find the best method and the best implementation of ...
Molecular applications of the African horsesickness virus genome segment 2 in diagnostics and epidemiology
(North-West University, 2004)
The mortality rate of AHS is more than 90 % in fully susceptible horses. Outbreaks of AHS can spread rapidly and have severe economic consequences. Therefore, the disease is classified in "list A" by the OIE and the ...
An assessment of the level of understanding regarding issues of marine pollution regulations in respect of waste management (Annex V) in the port of Port Elizabeth
(North-West University, 2004)
Background. Considering the experience of the Port of Port Elizabeth where waste volumes discharged from ships dropped drastically at the time when disposal tariffs had been increased due to a regional crisis, the question ...
Developing the soil pollution potential as an environmental management cost estimation index for washing inorganic pollutants from soils
(North-West University, 2004)
This study investigated the concept of the Soil Pollution Potential (SPP), a concept analogous to
the Global Warming Potential used to compare various chemicals during Life Cycle Analysis of
industrial projects.
The ...
Operators defined by conditional expectations and random measures
(North-West University, 2004)
This study revolves around operators defined by conditional expectations
and operators generated by random measures.
Studies of operators in function spaces defined by conditional expectations
first appeared in the mid ...
Cloning viral dsRNA genomes : analysis and application
(North-West University, 2004)
Double-stranded RNA viruses occur in a large number of hosts in nature ranging from bacteria to mammals. Molecular studies of the double-stranded RNA viruses have greatly enhanced man's understanding of this large group ...
