However, the standard metabolic rate was significantly higher in the year 2068 treatment but only at the flexion/post-flexion stage which could be attributed to differences in developmental rates (including the development of the gills) between the 2068 and the other two treatments. Overall, the metabolic scope was narrowest in the 2090 treatment, but varied according to life stage. Although not significantly different, metabolic scope in the 2090 treatment was noticeably lower at the flexion stage compared to the other two treatments, and the development appeared slower, suggesting that this could be the stage most prone to OA. The study concluded that, in isolation, OA levels predicted to occur between 2050 and 2090 will not negatively affect size-at-hatch, growth, development, and metabolic responses of larval A. japonicus up to 22 DAH (flexion/post-flexion stage). Taken together with the previous studies of the same species, the tipping point of tolerance (where negative impacts will begin) in larvae of the species appears to be between the years 2090 and 2100.]]> Thu 29 Sep 2022 12:56:05 SAST ]]> Photocatalytic treatment of organic and inorganic water pollutants using zinc phthalocyanine-cobalt ferrite magnetic nanoparticle conjugates https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:29119 Thu 13 May 2021 16:04:33 SAST ]]> Effect of substituents on the photophysical properties and nonlinear optical properties of asymmetrical zinc(II) phthalocyanine when conjugated to semiconductor quantum dots https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:31404 Thu 13 May 2021 12:43:26 SAST ]]> The use of filter-feeding fish (Clarias gariepinus and Oreochromis mossambicus) to remove microalgae from brewery effluent treatment ponds https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:31194 Thu 13 May 2021 08:55:46 SAST ]]> Functional characterization of the nuclear localisation and export signals of the human Hsp70/Hsp90 organising protein (HOP) https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:31489 Thu 13 May 2021 08:49:59 SAST ]]> Synthesis, characterisation and spectroscopic studies of diazine-N-oxide complexes of iron(II) towards the development of sensors https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:31075 Thu 13 May 2021 08:45:50 SAST ]]> Sulphide textures and compositions associated with the hydrothermal/magmatic system of the Twangiza gold deposit (South Kivu, DRC) https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:30610 Thu 13 May 2021 07:33:34 SAST ]]> Chitin hydrolysis with chitinolytic enzymes for the production of chitooligomers with antimicrobial properties https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:29165 Thu 13 May 2021 07:11:47 SAST ]]> Petrography and geochemistry of the Masoke Iron Formation and its associated ferruginous counterparts, kanye basin Botswana https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:34101 Fe. Masoke Iron Formation (Kanye Basin) which is stratigraphic correlative of The Ghaap Group and Chuniespoort Group of the Griqualand West basin and Transvaal basin, respectively. The Palaeoproterozoic Transvaal Supergroup in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa hosts high grade (>60% Fe) hematitic and specularitic iron and manganese mineralisation. It is therefore important to study and record the petrographic, mineralogy and geochemistry of Masoke Iron Formation, compare the results to the much known Kuruman and Griquatown Iron Formations. This study systematically investigate and record the petrography, mineralogy and geochemistry of all Masoke Iron Formation of Taupone Group in the Kanye Basin, which is stratigraphic correlative of The Ghaap Group and Chuniespoort Group of the Griqualand West basin and Transvaal basin, respectively. The further objective is to compare Masoke Iron Formation to the equivalent units in the Transvaal basin and Griqualand basin. In contrast to both Transvaal and Griqualand West Basin the Masoke iron Formation (Kanye Basin) has not been the subject of systematic scientific investigations. The study covers three main areas in the Kanye Basin: Keng Pan Area, Ukwi/Moretlwa hill and Janeng Hill Area. The mineralogy and geochemistry of these areas are presented in this study. Kanye Basin has a potential to host a large iron ore deposit, the geological setting in this area incorporates many of the elements necessary for iron ore formation. These include: banded iron formation (BIF), major unconformities with prolonged periods of weathering, carbonate sequences etc. In addition, several large deposits and mines are known from this area. This area can potentially have both hypogene and supergene enrichment of BIF. In this model, prospectively for new deposits is a function of the following: presence of iron formation units, proximity of mapped Asbestos Hills and Voëlwater BIF, thrust faulting (as indicated by the aero-magnetic interpretation), duplication of the ore horizon by folding, intersection of the BIF by major extensional fault, proximity of Olifantshoek/Waterberg outcrop, Gamagara unconformity, presence of carbonates (dolomites) and thin Kalahari sand cover. Major BIF units in the area of study include: the Masoke Iron Formation, equivalent to Kuruman Formation of the Asbestos Hills Subgroup, the Rooinekke iron formation of the Koegas Subgroup and the Hotazel Formation of the Voëlwater Subgroup. Supergene enrichment of these BIFs may occur wherever they are overlain by a major regional unconformity. The base of the Waterberg and the OlifantshoekSupergroups represent major unconformities in this regional target area. Potential for hypogene deposits is indicated by faulting (preferably extensional) proximal to BIF.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 07:06:47 SAST ]]> Investigating epistemic justice in an adaptive planning process: towards developing a local catchment management strategy https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:31220 Thu 13 May 2021 06:48:55 SAST ]]> Assessing the abundance of non-timber forest products in relation to forest succession on the Wild Coast, South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:30999 Thu 13 May 2021 06:47:16 SAST ]]> Recovery and molecular identification of Aichi virus 1, enteric human bocaviruses and enteric human adenoviruses in untreated sewage and mussel samples collected in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:29539 Thu 13 May 2021 06:24:12 SAST ]]> Interaction between the root-feeding beetle, Longitarsus bethae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) and the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne javanica (Nematoda: Heteroderidae): Implications for the biological control of Lantana camara L.
