This is a review of my published research on hypertension over 45 years on the three main racial groups residing in KwaZulu-Natal and its main city Durban. These three groups are blacks - mainly Zulu, whites and Indians. The research focused mainly on epidemiology, determinants of the aetiology of hypertension, clinical features, varying responses to hypotensive agents among the racial groups, ...

We explore if traditional sharing norms in extended kinship systems distort consumption and accumulation decisions of poor black households in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa. Our results suggest households try to evade their “sharing obligations” by (i) accumulating durables that are non-sharable at the expense of durables that may be shared, (ii) increasing consumption of non-durables, and (iii) ...

The community from which the subjects were drawn all either live or work in or near the Ngwelezana area o f KwaZulu Natal. This is a semi-rural, rapidly changing society situated very close to the busy industrial area of Richards Bay The reports are short, samples are of the convenience type and do not allow generalisation but nevertheless, together paint a small picture of patient/family needs...

We present an emergent universe scenario making use of a new solution of the Starobinsky model. The solution belongs to a one parameter family of solutions, where the parameter is determined by the number and the species (spin-values) of primordial fields. The general features of the model have also been studied. PACS numbers : 04.20.Jb, 98.80.Cq, 98.80.Jk Email: [email protected] Email: bc...
