Anti-carcinogenic activity of Centella asiatica and Elytropappus rhinocerotis on a human colon cancer cell line

Dwarka, Depika (2012)

Recently our understanding of cancer has advanced in the realization that apoptosis and the genes that control it have a profound effect on the malignant phenotype. It is now clear that some oncogenic mutations disrupt ...
Comment on invalid JWKB unstable solutions of combined inertial-Rossby waves

McKenzie, J. F. (Annales Geophysicaewww.ann-geophys.net/30/571/2012/, 2012)
Genetic transformation of Ceratotheca triloba for the production of anthraquinones from hairy root cultures

Naicker, Leeann (2012)

Many secondary metabolites that have been extracted from medicinal plants have been used as source of clinical drugs. However, the concentration of the active metabolites in plants is generally low. An attractive alternative ...
Phase equilibrium studies of sulfolane mixtures containing carboxylic acids

Sithole, Nompumelelo Pretty (2012)

In this work, the thermodynamics of ternary liquid mixtures involving carboxylic acids with sulfolane, hydrocarbons including cycloalkane, and alcohols are presented. In South Africa, Sasol is one of the leading companies ...
Preparation, spectrochemical, and computational analysis of L-Carnosine (2-[(3-Aminopropanoyl)amino]-3-(1H-imidazol-5- yl)propanoic Acid) and Its Ruthenium (II) coordination complexes in aqueous solution

Branham, Michael Lee; Bisetty, Krishna; Sabela, Myalo; Govender, Thirumala; Singh, Parvesh (MDPIhttp://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/16/12/10269, 2011-12-09)

This study reports the synthesis and characterization of novel ruthenium (II) complexes with the polydentate dipeptide, L-carnosine (2-[(3-aminopropanoyl)amino]-3-(1H-imidazol-5-yl)propanoic acid). Mixed-ligand complexes ...
ß-galactosidase production by Kluyveromyces lactis in batch and continuous culture

Ram, Elaine C. (2011)

Kluyveromyces sp. have adapted to existence in milk due to the evolution of permeabilisation and hydrolytic systems that allow the utilisation of lactose, the sugar most abundant in milk. Lactose hydrolysis, to equimolar ...
Bioproduction of riboflavin by fungi using spent industrial oils

Khan, Nazihah (2011)

Riboflavin (vitamin B2), an essential water-soluble vitamin is commercially produced because it cannot be synthesized by vertebrates. Although this vitamin is produced chemically, bioproduction is a better option since it ...
Synthesis of bisquinolines through conventional and unconventional energy sources

Makhanya, Talent Raymond (2011)

Malaria, the most prevalent parasitic disease, is considered a neglected disease owing to insufficient research and development in synthesis and therapy worldwide. Therapy failures are frequent and are due to a variety of ...
Design and operation of a laboratory scale photobioreactor for the cultivation of microalgae

Bhola, Virthie (2011)

Due to greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel usage, the impending threat of global climate change has increased. The need for an alternative energy feedstock that is not in direct competition to food production has ...
Microwave as an energy source in the synthesis of 2-aryl-4-quinolone alkaloids and naphthyridines

Ndaba, Hlengiwe Glenrose (2011)

One of the greatest medical challenges facing mankind is the Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) which has now become a major epidemic with more than 40 million people infected ...
Development of nutrition education material for caregivers of immune compromised children in children's homes in the Durban area

Grobbelaar, Hendrina Helena (2011)

Nutrition plays a fundamental role in the care and support of people living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and children in particular are affected by HIV and the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) ...
Analysis of the nutritional status and dietary intake data of a group of elderly at a day and frail care centre in Verulam

Govender, Theloshni (2011)

Background: South Africa, a richly diverse developing country has been faced by the consequences of transition attributed to urbanisation and acculturation. A Westernised lifestyle has, therefore, resulted in increasing ...
Microbial community analysis of a laboratory-scale biological process for the treatment of vegetable oil effluent

Degenaar, Adrian Phillip (2011)

Untreated vegetable oil effluents (VOEs) are known for creating shock-loading problems for the receiving wastewater treatment installations, resulting in poor quality final effluents being produced which do not satisfy ...
Screening for indigenous algae and optimisation of algal lipid yields for biodiesel production

Rawat, Ismail (2011)

The depletion of global energy supplies coupled with an ever increasing need for energy and the effects of global warming have warranted the search for alternate renewable sources of fuel such as biodiesel. First generation ...
Mutation of Eremothecium gossypii and statistical media optimization to increase riboflavin production

Govender, Sharon (2011)

Eremothecium gossypii has the ability to utilize vegetable oils as a carbon source to produce riboflavin. This organism has been known to produce as much as 40 000 times more riboflavin than it requires after genetic ...
Situational analysis of free-living elderly in Umlazi township

Mkhize, Nkumbulo Xolile (2011)

The objective of the study was to conduct a situational analysis of elderly people on state pension living in Umlazi, KwaZulu-Natal South Africa. The research focused on the socioeconomic status, dietary intake, nutritional ...
An assessment of the conformational profile of bombesin and its mammalian analogues using computational chemistry methods

Sharma, Parul (2011)

Understanding the dynamics and mechanism of protein folding continues to be one of the central problems in molecular biology. Peptide folding experiments characterize the dynamics and molecular mechanisms of the early ...
