Automated IS6110-based fingerprinting of Mycobacterium tuberculosis : reaching unprecedented discriminatory power and versatility
(Public Library of Science, 2018)Background: Several technical hurdles and limitations have restricted the use of IS6110 restriction fragment length polymorphism (IS6110 RFLP), the most effective typing method for detecting recent tuberculosis (TB) ... -
Vacuum polarization energy of the Shifman–Voloshin soliton
(Elsevier, 2018)We compute the vacuum polarization energy of soliton configurations in a model with two scalar fields in one space dimension using spectral methods. The second field represents an extension of the conventional ϕ4 kink ... -
Spin symmetry in the Dirac sea derived from the bare nucleon–nucleon interaction
(Elsevier, 2018)The spin symmetry in the Dirac sea has been investigated with relativistic Brueckner–Hartree–Fock theory using the bare nucleon–nucleon interaction. Taking the nucleus 16O as an example and comparing the theoretical results ... -
Effects of tensor forces in nuclear spin–orbit splittings from ab initio calculations
(Elsevier, 2018)A systematic and specific pattern due to the effects of the tensor forces is found in the evolution of spin–orbit splittings in neutron drops. This result is obtained from relativistic Brueckner–Hartree–Fock theory using ... -
Multiple chiral doublets in four-j shells particle rotor model : five possible chiral doublets in ¹³⁶₆₀Nd₇₆
(Elsevier, 2018)A particle rotor model, which couples nucleons in four single-jshells to a triaxial rotor core, is developed to investigate the five pairs of nearly degenerate doublet bands recently reported in the even-even nucleus 136Nd. ... -
Chiral geometry and rotational structure for ¹³⁰Cs in the projected shell model
(Elsevier, 2018)The projected shell model with configuration mixing for nuclear chirality is developed and applied to the observed rotational bands in the chiral nucleus 130Cs. For the chiral bands, the energy spectra and electromagnetic ... -
Neutron-rich nuclei produced at zero degrees in damped collisions induced by a beam of ¹⁸O on a ²³⁸U target
(Elsevier, 2018)Cross sections and corresponding momentum distributions have been measured for the first time at zero degrees for the exotic nuclei obtained from a beam of 18O at 8.5 MeV/A impinging on a 1 mg/cm2238U target. Sizable cross ... -
Deformation dependence of the isovector giant dipole resonance : theneodymium isotopic chain revisited
(Elsevier, 2018)Proton inelastic scattering experiments at energy Ep=200MeV and a spectrometer scattering angle of 0° were performed on 144,146,148,150Nd and 152Sm exciting the IsoVector Giant Dipole Resonance (IVGDR). Comparison with ... -
The complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic position of the leopard catshark, Poroderma pantherinum
(Taylor & Francis Open, 2018)We present the first mitochondrial genome of a South African endemic catshark, Poroderma pantherinum. The complete mitogenome is 16,686 bp in length, comprising 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and ... -
Near-vector spaces constructed from near domains
(Miskolci Egyetemi Kiado, 2018)In this paper we prove some new results on near-vector spaces and near domains and give a first application of the nearring of quotients with respect to a multiplicative set, namely we construct a new class of near-vector ... -
Spinning plates : livelihood mobility, household responsibility and anti-retroviral treatment in an urban Zambian community during the HPTN 071 (PopART) study
(Wiley Open Access, 2018)Introduction: Qualitative data are lacking on the impact of mobility among people living with HIV (PLHIV) and their decisionmaking around anti-retroviral treatment (ART). We describe challenges of juggling household ... -
The effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of community-based support for adolescents receiving antiretroviral treatment : an operational research study in South Africa
(Wiley Open Access, 2018)Introduction: Adolescents and youth receiving antiretroviral treatment (ART) in sub-Saharan Africa have high attrition and inadequate ART outcomes, and evaluations of interventions improving ART outcomes amongst adolescents ... -
Five year neurodevelopment outcomes of perinatally HIVinfected children on early limited or deferred continuous antiretroviral therapy
(Wiley Open Access, 2018)Introduction: Early antiretroviral therapy (ART) has improved neurodevelopmental outcomes of HIV-infected (HIV-positive) children; however, little is known about the longer term outcomes in infants commencing early ART ... -
Households, fluidity, and HIV service delivery in Zambia and South Africa – an exploratory analysis of longitudinal qualitative data from the HPTN 071 (PopART) trial
(Wiley Open Access, 2018)Introduction: Population distributions, family and household compositions, and people’s sense of belonging and social stability in southern Africa have been shaped by tumultuous, continuing large-scale historical disruptions. ...
