Life on the edge: do body size and drinking dependency influence how birds deal with the heat in South Africa's most extreme desert? by Orolowitz, Matthew

“…Moreover, two of these lark species drink surface water (drinking larks; Red-capped and Large-billed Lark) and two do not (non-drinking larks; Spike-heeled and Karoo Lark). I also collected data on other passerines present in the Tankwa Karoo for comparison to the larks. …”

Generation and characterization of HIV-1 subtype C candidate vaccines that will induce high titre antibody responses to HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein by van Diepen, Michiel Theodoor

“…Surprisingly, the folding of Env-His was inferior to soluble Env, with a switch in profile from mainly trimeric Env to mainly monomeric Env. Nevertheless, soluble Env-His (GNL) and soluble trimeric Env-His were assessed for the presence of Env broadly neutralising antibody (bnAb) epitopes in an ELISA assay. …”

Analysis of urinary lipid biomarker candidates from tuberculosis patients by multiple reaction monitoring by Waldron, Elizabeth Louise

“…They were then optimised for fragmentation by compound optimisation on a triple-quadrupole mass analyser, the data from which was used to build MRM assays. Liquid chromatography was optimised for these lipids and the MRMs were validated by spiking the lipid standards into a complex mixture. …”

Socio-Cultural factors that influence the ways B-Tech students think about referencing and related concepts as a literacy practice by Mbutho, Nozuko Princess

“…B-tech students seem to battle to understand the importance of referencing and as a result their assignments are not referenced even though students have been at the university for more than three years. These observations spiked an interest in me to explore the reasons behind this persistent issue. …”
