African women as effective managers in the Free State Provincial Government: addressing performance determinants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
ThesisChange is a process which, although feared and resisted by many, is unfortunately often inevitable. South Africa, with all its diversity, was no exception, and had to experience its fair share of change with the quantum leap from an Apartheid ...

Cost-effectiveness of non-invasive methods for assessment and monitoring of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis in patients with chronic liver disease: systematic review and economic evaluation

open access: yesHealth Technology Assessment, 2015
Background: Liver biopsy is the reference standard for diagnosing the extent of fibrosis in chronic liver disease; however, it is invasive, with the potential for serious complications.

Catalyst-free Click PEGylation reveals substantial mitochondrial ATP synthase sub-unit alpha oxidation before and after fertilisation

open access: yesRedox Biology, 2019
Using non-reducing Western blotting to assess protein thiol redox state is challenging because most reduced and oxidised forms migrate at the same molecular weight and are, therefore, indistinguishable.

THE FREQUENCY SPACE OF A FREE GROUP [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Algebra and Computation, 2005
We analyze the structure of the frequency spaceQ(F) of a nonabelian free group F = F(a1,…,ak) consisting of all shift-invariant Borel probability measures on ∂F and construct a natural action of Out(F) on Q(F). In particular we prove that for any outer automorphism ϕ of F the conjugacy distortion spectrum of ϕ, consisting of all numbers ‖ϕ(w)‖/‖w ...

PARK(ing) time–How park deficiency affects the biological clock in a Drosophila model of Parkinson's disease

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Drosophila park mutants serve as a model for Parkinson's disease. We used this strain to investigate the connection between oxidative stress and the circadian clock mechanism. We showed that increased oxidative stress affects the physiology of pacemaker cells, disrupting their daily structural plasticity. Lack of rhythmic signaling from pacemaker cells

Statistical properties of subgroups of free groups [PDF]

open access: yes
The usual way to investigate the statistical properties of finitely generated subgroups of free groups, and of finite presentations of groups, is based on the so-called word-based distribution: subgroups are generated (finite presentations are determined)

Analysis of Protein Oxidative Modifications in Follicular Fluid from Fertile Women: Natural Versus Stimulated Cycles

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2018
Oxidative stress is associated with obstetric complications during ovarian hyperstimulation in women undergoing in vitro fertilization. The follicular fluid contains high levels of proteins, which are the main targets of free radicals.

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Punishing Free Riders: how group size affects mutual monitoring and the provision of public goods [PDF]

open access: yes
Standard game theoretic models predict, based on subgame perfection, that public goods will not be provided even if agents are allowed to monitor free riders at some cost. Further, because punishment is not credible in these environments, this prediction
