Meteorites are interpreted as relics of early formed planetary bodies, and they provide information about the processes that occurred in first few Myrs our solar system. The ages measured for some differentiated meteorites (achondrites), indicate planetesimals a silicate crust ≈3Myr after beginning composition recently discovered achondrite Erg Chech 002 (EC002), oldest andesitic rock known so ...

Raynaud’s phenomenon is caused by episodic vasospasm and ischaemia of the extremities (especially the fingers and toes) in response to a fall in temperature (even taking a cold milk bottle out of the fridge or a cool wind on a hot beach (RSA 2012)) or an emotional stimulus.(Goundry 2012) This response results in a characteristic colour change in the extremities from white, to blue, to red. In a...

Renal dialysis patients have biochemical analysis performed monthly to determine the adequacy of dialysis. These are analysed by taking blood in a clotted gel tube preand post-dialysis sessions, immediately centrifuged and sent to the laboratory for analysis. Certain patients (like home dialysis patients) cannot have the samples immediately centrifuged, as they are taken in a home environment. ...

Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) is a bacterial pathogen that causes expensive food recalls, hospitalizations and even death. One of the key differences between Lm and other foodborne bacteria is that it thrives at typical refrigerator temperatures, about 4°C. In examining the effectiveness of an antimicrobial, most industry-standard bacterial testing is performed at 36°C (body temperature) which is...

Today most cooking projects start off by consulting the Internet for recipes. A quick search for “chocolate chip muffins” returns a multitude of different recipes, and typically, we would look though the top rated ones and try to decide which one “looks best”. We would go down the ingredients list, make a few substitutions, depending on what’s left in the fridge, and maybe scale down the recipe...

At present, the cooling of all the hot underground operations at Impala is achieved by providing refrigerated air from surface. However, the depth of a number of planned projects will approach 2 000 m below surface and other future proposed operations will extend to even deeper levels. Obviously these depths will approach the horizon where acceptable underground conditions can no longer be achi...

Introduction: Ultra wideband target identification is very useful in a number of applications such as military, security control, biomedical and internet of things. Intelligent fridges will become an important component of internet of things to improve quality of life. Monitoring the number of eggs in a fridge would be one application of this. As it can be known, RFID techniques can be applied ...

We all have a basic need to communicate with family and friends. Message-based communication, based on the written word has been important since earliest civilisations. More recently, email has been a killer application of the internet and SMS the corresponding winner for mobile telephony, precisely because they are message-based and asynchronous. They complement the critical direct communicati...
