Quasi-Newtonian Cosmological Models in Scalar-Tensor Theories of Gravity
(North-West University (South Africa), 2018)
Theoretical physics in general and cosmology in particular have faced some challenges due to the
recent observations in cosmology and astronomy, such as the discovery of the accelerated cosmic
expansion and the existence ...

Inter-seasonal and intra-seasonal rainfall variability in the North West Province South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2018)
The present study analysed inter-seasonal and intra-seasonal rainfall variability in the North West Province (NWP) South Africa. The observed rainfall data was obtained from South African Weather Service (SAWS) and ...
Economics of food intake, nutrition and farm households' health in Southwest Nigeria
(North-West University (South Africa), 2018)
Persistent hunger, malnutrition, and poor health inextricably threaten the ability of several countries to develop. The burdens of this trio on economic development in the African continent cannot be overemphasized. This ...
Elucidation and Molecular Characterization of the N-terminal Adenylyl Cyclase Activity of a Recombinant Nucleotide Binding Site Protein from Arabidopsis thaliana
(North-West University (South Africa), 2018)
Adenylate cyclases (ACs) are a diverse group of enzymes, which catalyze the formation of
3',5' cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) from adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP). Cyclic
AMP, just like the other known cyclic ...
Determination of Orbital Parameters of Kepler Binary Stars Using Time-delay Method on 1646 Pulsatina δScuti Stars
(North-West University (South Africa), 2018)
A binary system is a pair of stars that are held together in closed orbits around
their common centre of gravity, under the influence of their mutual gravitation.
The night sky presents a variety of double stars, ranging ...
The influence of newly synthesized hybrid Thiazolidinedione (TZD)-methoxy on the expression and acetylation of diabetes related genes
(North-West University (South Africa), 2018)
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic illness that is categorized by fasting plasma
glucose levels above 7 mmol/1. It is preceded by insulin resistance which is triggered by
increased dietary fats and sedentary lifestyle. ...
Development of a two-level full factorial model to analyse antenatal HIV data
(North-West University, 2018)
The present study is based on antenatal HIV data collected annually by South Africa’s National Department of Health (NDoH) from 2001 to 2010. The data was obtained by sampling pregnant women attending the clinic for antenatal ...
Molecular modelling of species pertaining to the solvent extraction of tantalum penta-fluorides
(North-West University, 2018)
Solvent extraction (SX) is used for the separation and purification of various metals, including tantalum (Ta) and niobium (Nb). Industrial processes for the separation of Ta and Nb traditionally use high concentrations ...
Investigation of indenylidene-derivatives of Grubbs type precatalyst for 1-octene metathesis
(North-West University, 2018)
The ideal metathesis precatalyst is a catalyst with high metathesis activity, high selectivity, enhanced thermal stability, great handling characteristics (high tolerance towards moisture and air) and tolerance to a wide ...
