We discuss systematics of the M1 scissors mode within the interacting boson model when the g-boson degree of freedom is included explicitly and microscopically motivated choices of model parameters are adopted. We try to ...

The g factors and spectroscopic quadrupole moments of low-lying excited states 21+, · · ·, 81+ in 24Mg are studied in a covariant density functional theory. The wave functions are constructed by configuration mixing of ...

The magnetic moments of excited members of the groundstate band of even-even medium-mass nuclei are considered within the framework of the sdg-version of IBM-2. A novel asymptotic realisation of the variation-after-(angu ...

Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate the (i) regulatory role of G(i)- like protein during the acrosome reaction (AR) of normal sperm donors and (ii) the role of intact acrosomes during sperm-zone binding. Methods: The ...

Small Ni-Cu-(Co) massive sulphide deposits are located 140 km south of the well-known Okiep Copper District within a polyphase deformed, granulite facies metamorphic section of the mid-Proterozoic Namaqua-Natal belt in ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: There is much philosophising today about what it means to be African and a good citizen. Bongani Mgayi finds out that views on charity and social engagement are as wide as the African horizons.

The purpose of this study was to use three-dimensional gait analysis to describe the gait status of adults with spastic diplegia who underwent selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) in childhood. Outcome measures were the gait ...

The γ-ray strength functions and nuclear level densities of 138La and 139La have been measured below the neutron separation energies. These new data were used to calculate astrophysical Maxwellian-averaged (n, γ) cross-sections ...

This study focuses on the regime of the spectacle as it is deployed by the postcolonial state to establish hegemony and claim legitimacy, with reference to Zimbabwe from 1980 up to the establishment of the Government of ...

Galvanic interactions between gold and associated substances are amongst the many factors that could influence the rate of dissolution of gold in a cyanide or an acidic thiourea solution. Some of these galvanic influences ...

Perfluorinated sulfonyl-fluoride cation-exchange flat-sheet membranes were treated with ethylene diamine to investigate the influence of EDA-surface-treatment on the process of electrochemical "switching" in such membranes. ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: For the purposes of this study the term "gambling" refers only to casino style gambling and does not necessarily include horse racing and the national lottery. The study is partly based on the theoretical ...

This review focuses on how game meat from southern Africa and venison that are increasingly being imported into Europe and the US addresses consumer issues as pertaining to production (wild, free range or intensive production) ...
