Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) known as the black soldier fly (BSF) is an efficient ecological organic waste decomposer. Its larvae grow through six larval instars on a variety of decomposing organic substrates ...
Taste-masking of efavirenz through microencapsulation
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
It is a well-known fact that a significant gap exists in the development of child-friendly
dosage forms, detrimentally affecting paediatric patient compliance, especially in the treatment of
debilitating diseases such ...
Triaxiality and rotational bands in 133ce
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
The neutron-de cient nuclei between the N = 50 and N = 82 shell closures provide
rich information on the shape and structure of the nucleus. The isotones of 133Ce
and 131Ba (N = 75) lie in this region of the nuclear ...

A multi-wavelength study of powerful high redshift radio galaxies
(2021)
We present a new sample of distant powerful radio galaxies, in order to study their
host-galaxy properties and provide targets for future observations of Hi absorption
with new radio telescopes. We cross-match the Sydney ...
