- ItemA comparison between fingerprint and dental concordant characteristics(1990) Phillips V.M.; Scheepers C.F.Twelve concordant characteristics are used in fingerprint identification. The South African courts of law are prepared to accept 7 concordant characteristics as being 'beyond reasonable doubt' in the case of finger, hand and foot prints. In cases of identification by dental means, 12 concordant features have been advocated. In South Africa, with its mixed population in which a large majority have dental formulae containing normal decayed and missing teeth, these patterns show duplication and triplication. It is feasible to submit 7 concordant dental characteristics as positive identification in a mouth containing dental restorations, but in a mouth which features only missing teeth, pattern duplication demands more than 12 concordant characteristics for positive identification. Seven concordant dental characteristics have not been tested in the South African courts to date.
- ItemA dual SQUID linearization concept using a phase modulation scheme(1998) Basso V.G.; Perold W.J.; Lourens J.G.A critical control system evaluation is presented of basic flux-locked loop systems. The development of a new superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) linearization method is then described, where no magnetic flux feedback is necessary to cancel the applied flux. It is shown that a dual SQUID configuration will be able to produce a true phase modulation system that is easily demodulated with a phase-locked loop. The theoretical performance of the proposed configuration is verified by simulations, and the performance and limitations are discussed in detail. It is shown that small dc correction voltages at the output of the SQUID's significantly decrease output noise, as is the case with an increase in SQUID dc bias currents. An optional feedback system is also described for optimal performance of the dual SQUID configuration. © 1998 IEEE.
- ItemA first for tuberculosis research in South Africa: Whole-genome sequence of the South African Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain F11 released(2005) Victor T.[No abstract available]
- ItemBiocomplexity and climate change: A new capacity building research programme at Marion Island(2002) Chown S.L.; Mercer R.D.A capacity building programme for climate change research at the Prince Edward Islands has recently been established with funds provided by the United States Agency for International Development. The programme, led by the University of Stellenbosch, in collaboration with the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism, has as its principal aim the development of expertise and research capacity to understand the likely biological effects of climate change on South Africa's biodiversity.

- ItemYeast flocculation and its biotechnological relevance(2010) Bauer, Florian; Govender, P.; Bester, M. C.Adhesion properties of microorganisms are crucial for many essential biological processes such as sexual reproduction, tissue or substrate invasion, biofilm formation and others. Most, if not all microbial adhesion phenotypes are controlled by factors such as nutrient availability or the presence of pheromones. One particular form of controlled cellular adhesion that occurs in liquid environments is a process of asexual aggregation of cells which is also referred to as flocculation. This process has been the subject of significant scientific and biotechnological interest because of its relevance for many industrial fermentation processes. Specifically adjusted flocculation properties of industrial microorganisms could indeed lead to significant improvements in the processing of biotechnological fermentation products such as foods, biofuels and industrially produced peptides. This review briefly summarises our current scientific knowledge on the regulation of flocculation-related phenotypes, their importance for different biotechnological industries, and possible future applications for microorganisms with improved flocculation properties. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
