Trachyandra divaricata (Sandkool) is one of the most abundant wild edible inflorescence vegetables in South Africa. The dearth literature on its edibility, nutrient composition, and conservation has contributed to underutilisation. This study investigated mineral proximate content, phytochemical compositions, growth response T. light intensity soilless media. Treatments comprised four media (LE...

This paper presents the feasibility of the removal of asphaltenes from aqueous solutions by using low- cost natural adsorbents such as light expanded clay aggregate (LECA), perlite and bentonite. The structure of adsorbents was characterized by XRD, FTIR, and SEM before and after the adsorption of asphaltenes. The effect of the adsorbent type, initial asphaltene concentration, particle size of ...

The ability to produce load-bearing masonry units adopting ACI 211.1 mix design using (1:3.2:2.5) as (cement: fine aggregate: coarse aggregate) with slump range (25-50mm) which can conform (dimension, absorption, and compressive strength) within IQS 1077/1987 requirements type A was our main goal of the study. use low cement content (300 kg/m3) handle market price products since most consumptio...

BACKGROUND Macromolecular transport across the nuclear envelope (NE) is achieved through nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) and requires karyopherin-βs (KAP-βs), a family of soluble receptors, for recognition of embedded transport signals within cargo. We recently demonstrated, through proteomic analysis of trypanosomes, that NPC architecture is likely highly conserved across the Eukaryota, which in...
