• Climate effects on productivity and resource-use efficiency of Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica [L.]) in stands with different spatial mixing patterns 

  Pretzsch H.; Dieler J.; Seifert T.; Rotzer T. (2012)

  Species mixing is widely held to stabilize productivity, increase resilience and contribute to risk minimization in forest stands in need of special as a result of longevity. However, research on the effects of mixing on ...
• Diversity and Characterization of Culturable Fungi from Marine Sediment Collected from St. Helena Bay, South Africa 

  Mouton M.; Postma F.; Wilsenach J.; Botha A. (2012)

  Marine fungi are known to originate from a wide variety of habitats within the marine environment. Marine sediment represents one environmental niche, with most fungi occurring in these sediments being facultative marine ...
• Drug-resistant tuberculosis transmission and resistance amplification within families 

  Seddon J.A.; Warren R.M.; Enarson D.A.; Beyers N.; Simon Schaaf H. (2012)

  Drug-resistant tuberculosis is caused by transmission of resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and by acquisition of resistance through inadequate treatment. We investigated the clinical and molecular features ...
• From steady-state to synchronized yeast glycolytic oscillations I: Model construction 

  Du Preez F.B.; Van Niekerk D.D.; Kooi B.; Rohwer J.M.; Snoep J.L. (2012)

  An existing detailed kinetic model for the steady-state behavior of yeast glycolysis was tested for its ability to simulate dynamic behavior. Using a small subset of experimental data, the original model was adapted by ...
• From steady-state to synchronized yeast glycolytic oscillations II: Model validation 

  Du Preez F.B.; Van Niekerk D.D.; Snoep J.L. (2012)

  In an accompanying paper [du Preez et al., (2012) FEBS J279, 2810-2822], we adapt an existing kinetic model for steady-state yeast glycolysis to simulate limit-cycle oscillations. Here we validate the model by testing its ...
• Codon-optimized glucoamylase sGAI of Aspergillus awamori improves starch utilization in an industrial yeast 

  Favaro L.; Jooste T.; Basaglia M.; Rose S.H.; Saayman M.; Gorgens J.F.; Casella S.; Van Zyl W.H. (2012)

  The development of a yeast that converts raw starch to ethanol in one step (called consolidated bioprocessing) could yield large cost reductions in the bioethanol industry. The aim of this study was to develop an efficient ...
• Design of Packaging Vents for Cooling Fresh Horticultural Produce 

  Pathare P.B.; Opara, Umezuruike Linus; Vigneault C.; Delele M.A.; Al-Said F.A.-J. (2012)

  This review focuses on the design of vents in packages used for handling horticulture produce. The studies on vent designs that are conducted to obtain fundamental understanding of the mechanisms by which different parameters ...
• Sustained glycolytic oscillations in individual isolated yeast cells 

  Gustavsson A.-K.; Van Niekerk D.D.; Adiels C.B.; Du Preez F.B.; Goksor M.; Snoep J.L. (2012)

  Yeast glycolytic oscillations have been studied since the 1950s in cell-free extracts and intact cells. For intact cells, sustained oscillations have so far only been observed at the population level, i.e. for synchronized ...
• Allergic rhinitis in South Africa: 2012 guidelines 

  Green R.J.; Hockman M.; Friedman R.; Vardas E.; Cole P.; Halkas A.; Feldman C. (2012)

  Background. Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an important disease in South Africa. The South African Allergic Rhinitis Working Group (SAARWG) has published previous guidelines for AR diagnosis and management. Areas of concern ...
• Urbanization drives a reduction in functional diversity in a guild of nectar-feeding birds 

  Pauw A.; Louw K. (2012)

  Urbanization is a widespread and rapidly growing threat to biodiversity, therefore we need a predictive understanding of its effects on species and ecosystem processes. In this paper we study the impact of urbanization on ...
• Localized form of Fock terms in nuclear covariant density functional theory 

  Liang H.; Zhao P.; Ring P.; Roca-Maza X.; Meng J. (2012)

  In most of the successful versions of covariant density functional theory in nuclei, the Fock terms are not included explicitly, which leads to local functionals and forms the basis of their widespread applicability at ...
