The investigation of some socio-educational factors contributing to high failure rate in matric in KwaZulu
This study looks into the problem of failure in Matric in Black schools in KwaZulu. Some researchers have focused on causes for academic failure before. Some of these researchers are: Souper, (1976); Bryant, (1978); Havinghurst, (1979); Donald, (1980); Simons, (1980). Failure is rarely, if ever, …

β-Globin Enhancers Regulate Bistable Gene Expression States
… gene to ensure robust expression. Under the failure rate model, each redundant enhancer contributes a probability of target gene expression in the cell, and genetic deletion will cause single-cell expression phenotypes. However, this model has been challenging to test in human cells. To …

Hydrodynamic Behavior of Pop-Up Satellite Archival Tags (PSAT) Subject to Vortices
… current commercial PSATs have an unusually high failure rate when tagged on tuna and cost upwards of $4000, making it both difficult and expensive to collect data [14]. Upon investigation, the top two failure modes of tuna-affixed PSATs have been identified as drag from movement/tissue healing …
