Genomic and metabolic investigation of an unknown inborn error of leucine metabolism mimicking MCC deficiency
(North-West University, 2011)
This study revolves around a family in which 4 male members have metabolic profiles similar to that of atypical 3–methylcrotonyl–CoA carboxylase (MCC) deficiency, an inborn error of leucine catabolism. This profile consists ...
A platinum life cycle assessment : potential benefits to Anglo Platinum
(North-West University, 2011)
There has been an increased awareness of the inter-dependence between man and the environment since the 1960’s. Environmental awareness has evolved from representing fairly radical views opposing all development, to a ...
Characterisation of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris isolates from South Africa using genomic DNA fingerprinting and pathogenicity tests
(North-West University, 2011)
Black rot caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (X. c pv. campestris) is a major disease constraint to cabbage production. The control of black rot is difficult and resistant cultivars could play an important ...
Investigation of Pt supported on carbon, ZrO2, Ta2O5 and Nb2O5 as electrocatalysts for the electro–oxidation of SO2
(North-West University, 2011)
The gradual depletion of and dependence on fossil fuels, air pollution and global warming have all accelerated the development of alternative energy systems which use hydrogen as an energy carrier. The hybrid sulphur cycle ...
Evaluation of eukaryotic cultured cells as a model to study extracellular DNA
(North-West University, 2011)
The diagnostic value of extracellular occurring DNA (eoDNA) is limited by our lack of understanding its biological function. eoDNA exists in a number of forms, namely vesicle bound DNA, histone/DNA complexes or nucleosomes ...
Fisieke oefening as behandelingsmodaliteit tydens die in–hospitaalfase : 'n sistematiese oorsig
(North-West University, 2011)
Knowledge of the salutogenic effects of exercise date back to the 9th century before Christ. Regular physical exercise has been viewed as an important component of a healthy lifestyle for years, while also successfully ...
Cosmic ray modulation processes in the heliosphere
(North-West University, 2011)
The solar minimum of 2009 has been identified as an exceptional event with regard to
cosmic ray (CR)modulation, since conditions in the heliosphere have reached unprecedented
quiet levels. This unique minimum has been ...
The development of a hybrid agile project management methodology
(North-West University, 2011)
The aim of this study is to investigate whether a combination of agile system development methodologies (ASDMs) and project management methodologies (PMMs) can be used to develop a hybrid APMM that will have the ability ...
Tyrosinemia type I as a model for studying epigenetic events in the aetiology of metabolic disease associated hepatocarcinoma
(North-West University, 2011)
Occupational risk management can be a catalyst in generating superior returns for all stakeholders on a sustainable basis. A number of companies in South Africa have implemented Cardinal Rules of Safety adopted from ...
A comparative study of arthropod diversity on conventional and Bt–maize at two irrigation schemes in South Africa
(North-West University, 2011)
The purpose of the research was to explore the experiences of educators regarding the
training for the implementation of inclusive education in a Full Service school. A qualitative
research design was chosen, using a ...
