Research Output
Research output can be seen as the result of research and study which is done by an institutions' research community - usually in publicised form such as an article or book. The NWU-IR drives to raise the visibility of the outputs both locally and internationally to create further awareness of what is being done by the NWU.

An Arabidopsis Pentatricopeptide Repeat Is A Moonlighting Protein With Cross-Talking In Vitro Adenylyl Cyclase And Kinase Activities
(Springer, 2023)Downstream signalling involving adenylyl cyclases (ACs) and kinases is a key component of several processes in plants including cell division, growth, and response to stress. ACs are enzymes that generate the second ... -
Testing For The Pareto Type I Distribution: A Comparative Study
(Springer, 2023)Pareto distributions are widely used models in economics, finance and actuarial sciences. As a result, a number of goodness-of-fit tests have been proposed for these distributions in the literature. We provide an overview ... -
When Science Is Taught This Way, Students Become Critical Friends: Setting The Stage For Student Teachers

Passive Electrochemical Hydrogen Recombiner For Hydrogen Safety Systems: Prospects
(Springer, 2023)This paper presents the concept of a passive electrochemical hydrogen recombiner (PEHR). The reaction energy of the recombination of hydrogen and oxygen is used as a source of electrical energy according to the operating ... -
Early Vascular Ageing Phenotypes And Urinary Targeted Metabolomics In Children And Young Adults: The Examin Youth Sa And African-Predict Studies
(Springer, 2023)Some individuals are susceptible to accelerated biological ageing, resulting in premature alterations in arterial structure and function. Identifying early-onset vascular ageing characterised by arterial stifening is vital ... -
An Arabidopsis Linker Histone-Like Protein Harbours A Domain With Adenylyl Cyclase Activity
(Springer, 2023)Adenylyl cyclase (AC) is an enzyme that catalyses the formation of the second messenger molecule, 3′,5′-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) from 5′-adenosine triphosphate (ATP). cAMP, in turn, regulates key physiological ... -
Detecting And Managing Childhood Onset Hypertension In Africa: A Call To Action
(Springer, 2023)Purpose of Review To review recent evidence on childhood hypertension across Africa, identifying knowledge gaps, challenges and priorities, and highlight clinical perspectives in managing primary hypertension. Recent ... -
Using Confocal Microscopy And Pigment Analyses To Detect Adverse Insecticide Effects In Non-Target Freshwater Diatom Species - A Proof-Of-Concept Using Nitzschia Palea
(Springer, 2023)The persistence of insecticides in aquatic environments is a cause of concern and to date hardly any studies have focused on the effects that DDT and deltamethrin have on non-target freshwater diatom communities. The ... -
Tuberculosis Is Associated With Sputum Metabolome Variations, Irrespective Of Patient Sex Or Hiv Status: An Untargeted Gcxgc-Tofms Study
(Springer, 2023)Introduction Various studies have identified TB-induced metabolome variations. However, in most of these studies, a large degree of variation exists between individual patients. Objectives To identify differential ... -
Artemisia Species And Their Active Constituents For Treating Schistosomiasis

A Ketogenic Diet Alters Mtor Activity, Systemic Metabolism And Potentially Prevents Collagen Degradation Associated With Chronic Alcohol Consumption In Mice
(Springer, 2023)Introduction A ketogenic diet (KD), which is a high fat, low carbohydrate diet has been shown to inhibit the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway and alter the redox state. Inhibition of the mTOR complex has been ... -
Associations Between Nesting, Stereotypy, And Working Memory In Deer Mice: Response To Levetiracetam
(Springer, 2023)Background Some deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus bairdii) exhibit various phenotypes of persistent behaviors. It remains unknown if and how said phenotypes associate with early-life and adult cognitive perturbations, and ... -
