The rapid warming of the Arctic may affect the stability of coastal geomorphological systems.Prograded sequences of wave-built deposits, so-called beach-ridge systems, preserve a proxy record of the long-term variability in the drivers of coastal evolution.Information on relative sea level (RSL), climate forcing and sediment supply can be reconstru
The majority of South African city centres are in a state of degeneration and need revitalising.The factors that contributed to the degeneration and how the integration of information and communications technology (ICT) can be used to revitalise them were examined in three South African city centres.The research was grounded in place theory.A surve
The problem of overdispersion as a violation of the assumption of equidispersion in Poisson regression Lower Spray Arm Support is generally caused by sources of unobserved heterogeneity, missing observations on predictor variables, outliers in the data, errors in the specification of the bridging function, and many observed values that are zero.The
We report on an ultra-compact, low loss Plates and broadband TM-pass polarizer, which is constructed by two interleaved subwavelength-gratings (SWGs) waveguides inserted in the center of the strip waveguide on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform.The device structure is optimally engineered to support Bloch mode for fundamental TM polarization onl
Staphylococcus aureus is recognized worldwide as one of the major agents of dairy cow intra-mammary infections.This microorganism can express a wide spectrum of pathogenic factors used to attach, colonize, invade and infect the host.The present study evaluated 120 isolates from eight different countries that were genotyped by RS-PCR and investigate
