The spatial mismatch hypothesis and the use of social networks for job search in Site C, Khayelitsha, Cape Town
… and the use of social networks for job search in Site C, Khayelitsha. The spatial mismatch hypothesis proposes that where employment centres are located a significant distance from low-income residential areas, the result is unemployment, low wages and limited access to information for people …

An exploratory study on the experiences of female youth victims of crime during load shedding in Site C, Khayelitsha
… of female youth during load shedding at night in Site C, Khayelitsha. While there is extensive literature on the impact of load shedding on crime, no attention has been given to its impact on crime against female youth in Site C, Khayelitsha. The study fills this gap in the existing literature. …

An investigation into the barriers to employment for unskilled workers in Site C, Khayelitsha and Du Noon, Milnerton : does spatial mismatch theory apply?
… were interviewed, nine from each case site. The findings show that the spatial disconnection between Site C and job opportunities often resulted in long and costly commutes to work for many Site C residents, especially to the new developments. Du Noon residents did not experience a …

On ‘dirty’ rats, ‘dirty’ spaces and slow violence in Site C, Khayelitsha: an interdisciplinary ethnography of the everyday, living in a rat-infested area
… relationships they have with people residing in Site C, Khayelitsha, Cape Town, South Africa - an African township comprising formal and informal housing areas on the outskirts of the city. Through locating these complex relationships and engaging with stories and experiences of people living in …

The Effects of Landfill Leachate on the Behavior, Feeding Rate, and Growth Rate of the Freshwater Prosobranch Snail Elimia Potosiensis
… snail Elimia potosiensis by comparing two sites, one non-contaminated (Site NC) and one contaminated (Site C). The copper concentration resulting in a decreased feeding rate was also established. An in-situ enclosure experiment at Site NC indicated that snails acclimated within one week and …

Comparative Studies of Processivity Clamp Loader ATP Site Function
… subunits. The pentamer complex contains 3-4 ATP sites, each located at the interface of two subunits. In each ATP site, an arginine residue from one subunit is located near the γ-phosphate of ATP bound to the adjacent subunit. These arginines act as "arginine fingers" that can potentially perform …

Mechanistic studies of iron uptake into, and release from, Ferritins
… a ferroxidase centre but also contains a third site (site C) only previously found in non-heme bacterial ferritins. The mechanism of iron uptake in P. multiseries ferritin and the effect of substitution of residues at site C has been studied using rapid reaction kinetic methods. These revealed …

A homotopy theory for stacks
… theoretic characterization of stacks on a site C which allows one to think of stacks as the homotopy sheaves of groupoids on C. We use this characterization to construct a model category, that is a formal homotopy theory, in which stacks play the special role of the fibrant objects. This …

Torsors over Simplicial Schemes
… X be a simplicial object in a small Grothendieck site C, and let G be a sheaf of groups on C. We define a notion of G-torsor over X, generalizing a definition of Gillet, and prove that there is a bijection between the set of isomorphism classes of G-torsors over X, and the set of maps in the …

Children’s perceptions of the causation and prevention of childhood burn injuries
… Study data was collected from Khayelitsha, Site C and Philippi, Samora Machel in Cape Town as these areas have reported elevated rates of thermal and fire-related burn injuries. Study data were collected using three isiXhosa focus group discussions based on a convenience sample of 10 – 11 …

Characterization of the Integrase of the Bacteroides Mobilizable Transposon NBU1
… characteristic of tyrosine recombinases. I used site-directed mutagenesis to construct alanine mutants of these six residues. I tested the mutant proteins using an E. coli conjugation assay and showed that the mutants were defective for in vivo integration. This confirmed that IntN1 is a tyrosine …

Mechanism of APC/C activation and substrate specificity in mitosis
… APC/C interacts with a coactivator-binding site (C-box binding site), thereby obstructing engagement of Cdc20. Phosphorylation of the auto-inhibitory segment displaces it from the C-box binding site to relieve APC/C auto-inhibition. Efficient phosphorylation of the auto-inhibitory segment …

Effets de la catégorisation sismique des sites sur l'évaluation de la vulnérabilité sismique des ponts de la ville de Québec
La catégorisation des sites occupe une place prédominante dans l'évaluation sismique des ouvrages : leurs propriétés peuvent modifier les mouvements sismiques les rendant plus dommageables. L’objet de cette étude sera donc d’analyser la réponse des ponts en fonction du type de sol sous-jacent. Dans …

Aberrant and Alternative Splicing of von Willebrand Factor
… this primarily acknowledges canonical splice site mutations, where the nucleotides are most integral and highly conserved to accomplish proper splicing. We hypothesized that pathologic splicing of VWF is likely an under-recognized mechanism of VWD, caused by variation outside of canonical …

The clinic as a gendered space: an exploratory study examining men's access to and uptake of voluntary counselling and testing services (VCT) in the context of a male-friendly health facility
… of critical importance to public health. The Site C Men's Clinic in Khayelitsha, where this study took place, is an attempt at increasing men's use of VCT. Men's views about a male-friendly space and its influence on VCT uptake had not yet been investigated in South Africa. The Men's Clinic in …

Creation and characterization of mice with a mutation disrupting binding of a transcriptional repressor of insulin-like growth factor 2
… in pigs in intron 3 of IGF2 disrupts a binding site for the transcriptional repressor ZBED6 leading to increased expression of IGF2. The SNP prevents binding of ZBED6 increasing IGF2 expression prenatally as well as postnatally compared with their wild type counterparts. Pigs with this mutation …
