In this paper, the paradoxes and difficulties attending the notion of indigenous knowledge in South Africa are reviewed and an alternative dialogue about intellectual heritage is proposed.Beginning with a survey of debates on 'indigenous knowledge' and sciences in India, Australia and Latin America, the discussion draws attention to differences in
Targeting colorectal cancer cell metabolism through development of cisplatin and metformin nano-cubosomes
Abstract Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of death worldwide.Utilizing cisplatin in CRC is Potpourri correlated with severe adverse effects and drug-resistance.Combined anticancer drug-treatment, along with, their enhanced delivery, can effectively kill cancer through multiple pathways.Nano-cubosomes are emerging as nanoca
Optimization of Vanadium Content for Achieving Higher Wear Resistance and Hardness in High Cr-V White Cast Irons for Ball Tube Mill Liner Application
The liner materials in coal fired tube mills are Can Cooler less promising due to lower combination of abrasion wear resistance, hardness and impact toughness properties, thus giving service life of 25,000 to 35,000 hours.In this study, focus was given to develop a high Cr-V cast iron of high abrasion wear resistance with higher hardness and impact
Prediction of the in-plane permeability and air evacuation time of fiber-placed thermoplastic composite preforms with engineered intertape channels
The two main void removal mechanisms during vacuum-bag-only (VBO) consolidation of thermoplastic composites are through-thickness diffusion and in-plane air evacuation.The automated fiber placement (AFP) process allows for the creation of preforms with an engineered intertape channel network by Cheese Melters deliberately introducing spacing betwee
Design through debate: a new studio
The advanced landscape design studio for post-graduate students of Landscape Architecture is the culmination of ideas from a number of design studios at M SNEAKERS the Queensland University of Technology (QUT).The Design Through Debate studio was designed to precipitate innovations by exploring a series of propositions, through abstract forms of re
