south and west coast estuaries of South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5263 20 orders and >35 families. The copepod Pseudodiaptomus hessei dominated (59 %) the zooplankton and occurred in similar densities to those observed in other South African estuaries. Larval fish and zooplankton varied across seasons, peaking simultaneously in summer although zooplankton showed additional density peaks during the closed phase of some estuaries. Both plankton components were more abundant in the oligohaline and mesohaline zones within the estuaries. Freshwater input, estuary type and the biogeography of the area influenced the composition and structure of larval fish and zooplankton assemblages in these estuaries. The findings suggest that the estuaries are functioning as successful breeding areas for the larvae of endemic estuary-resident fish species and that these estuaries have to be managed to ensure an adequate freshwater supply to maintain the biological integrity of the ecosystem, specially the maintenance of the highly productive River-Estuary Interface (REI) regions.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 15:56:36 SAST ]]> Assessment and monitoring of land degradation using remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS): a case study of Qoqodala within the Wit-Kei catchment in the Eastern Cape, South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4818 Wed 12 May 2021 15:52:50 SAST ]]> Correction, addition and deletion : memory and its function in creating "visual narratives" (and identity) in photographic art https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2402 Wed 12 May 2021 15:47:28 SAST ]]> A case study: exploring students' experiences of a participative assessment approach on a professionally-orientated postgraduate programme https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1432 Tue 10 Aug 2021 12:38:36 SAST ]]> A case study of strategic leadership in the creation and development of a privately owned newspaper in Zambia https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:734 Thu 13 May 2021 15:32:51 SAST ]]> Development of a neural network based model for predicting the occurrence of spread F within the Brazilian sector https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5460 Thu 13 May 2021 09:13:17 SAST ]]> An assessment of the experience of small town local economic development in the Eastern Cape Midlands https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4888 Thu 13 May 2021 08:24:02 SAST ]]> A grid based approach for the control and recall of the properties of IEEE 1394 audio devices https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4594 Thu 13 May 2021 08:18:22 SAST ]]> An investigation of the indigenous ways of knowing about wild food plants (imifino): a case study https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1652 Thu 13 May 2021 08:04:16 SAST ]]> Coping with xenophobia : Senegalese migrants in Port Elizabeth https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2102 Thu 13 May 2021 07:30:46 SAST ]]> An investigation of the challenges facing grade 10 science learners in sense-making of mechanics problems : a case study https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1647 Thu 13 May 2021 07:06:48 SAST ]]> Clustering algorithms and their effect on edge preservation in image compression https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5576 Thu 13 May 2021 06:55:34 SAST ]]> Finite fuzzy sets, keychains and their applications https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5406 Thu 13 May 2021 06:49:38 SAST ]]> An investigation of school gardens in the curriculum: recontextualising the biodiversity discourse in the national curriculum statement: a case of Mount Zion Junior Secondary School https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1642 Thu 13 May 2021 06:39:00 SAST ]]> How can school gardens be used for teaching environmental activities in the technology learning area at senior phase? https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1558 Thu 13 May 2021 06:29:18 SAST ]]> Investigating the enzymatic mechanism of platinum nanoparticle synthesis in sulfate-reducing bacteria https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3965 1 mM resulted in the precipitation of protein-nanoparticle bioconjugates, due to unfavourable acidic conditions. This demonstrated that the nanoparticles were binding to and becoming stabilised by general protein in the cell-free solution. Upon addition of a sodium-bicarbonate buffer, a general increase in Pt(IV) reduction to Pt(II) was observed. The addition of the buffer also resulted in an unexplained change in particle morphology and for this reason was not used in subsequent investigations. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was shown to compromise the reduction rate of the Pt(IV) ion by SRB cells. The presence of extracellular NP’s was suggested by the colour of the supernatant turning brown and the A334 increasing over time. Attempts to visualise the particles by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) resulted in an unexpected phenomenon where nanoparticles could be observed to form dynamically upon irradiation by the electron beam. Extended irradiation by the electron beam also resulted in structural changes of the particles occurring during observation. An increase in temperature was shown to increase the reduction rate which in turn resulted in particles decreasing in size. The starting pH was shown to have a significant effect on the reduction rate and particle morphology although specific trends could not be identified. In conclusion, the cell-soluble extract from the sulfate-reducing consortium investigated, is capable of Pt(0) nanoparticle synthesis. Precise control over the particle morphology was not attained although the mechanism was further clarified and optimal conditions for nanoparticle synthesis were determined.]]> Thu 13 May 2021
