The Commonwealth and South Africa
Saul Dubow
Sep 08, 2018
The creation of modern South Africa as an independent unitary state within the British Empire (c. 1910) gave birth to the Commonwealth idea. Jan Smuts’s views on Commonwealth were formative and they continued to inform the...
WERE THERE POLITICAL ALTERNATIVES IN THE WAKE OF THE SHARPEVILLE-LANGA VIOLENCE IN SOUTH AFRICA, 1960?
Abstract In many accounts, the Sharpeville emergency of 1960 was a key ‘turning point’ for modern South African history. It persuaded the liberation movements that there was no point in civil...

Henri Breuil and the Imagination of Prehistory
SH Dubow
Feb 01, 2019
Other than in passing references, the Abbé Henri Breuil, French prehistorian and internationally renowned expert on rock art, is today rarely mentioned in academic accounts of South African archaeology. Breuil was nevertheless a...
Genetic and Biochemical Studies on Protein Phosphorylation in the Circadian Clock of Drosophila Melanogaster
Saul Kivimae
Jan 01, 0001
Circadian rhythms in physiology and behavior are observed in almost all phyla. Genetically encoded internal clocks generate such rhythms. Identification of gene products required for the generation and maintenance of endogenous...

Image-Based Model Parameter Optimization Using Model-Assisted Generative Adversarial Networks.
We propose and demonstrate the use of a model-assisted generative adversarial network (GAN) to produce fake images that accurately match true images through the variation of the parameters of the model that describes the...

Multiple Interactions of Glucose with the Extra-Membranous Loops of GLUT1 Aid Transport
Molecular dynamics simulations amounting to ≈8 μs demonstrate that the glucose transporter GLUT1 undergoes structural fluctuations mediated by the fluidity of the lipid bilayer and the proximity to glucose. The fluctuations...

The chloroplast represents an attractive compartment for light-driven biosynthesis of recombinant products, and advanced synthetic biology tools are available for engineering the chloroplast genome ( = plastome) of several algal...
The Algal Chloroplast as a Testbed for Synthetic Biology Designs Aimed at Radically Rewiring Plant Metabolism
Sustainable and economically viable support for an ever-increasing global population requires a paradigm shift in agricultural productivity, including the application of biotechnology to generate future crop plants. Current...

Transition to naïve human pluripotency mirrors pan-cancer DNA hypermethylation.
Hemalvi Patani, Michael D Rushton, Jonathan Higham, Saul A Teijeiro, David Oxley, Pedro Cutillas, Duncan Sproul, Gabriella Ficz
Sep 09, 2020
Epigenetic reprogramming is a cancer hallmark, but how it unfolds during early neoplastic events and its role in carcinogenesis and cancer progression is not fully understood. Here we show that resetting from primed to naïve...

Alternative patterns of sex chromosome differentiation in Aedes aegypti (L).
Corey L Campbell, Laura B Dickson, Saul Lozano-Fuentes, Punita Juneja, Francis M Jiggins, William C Black
Jan 24, 2018
BACKGROUND: Some populations of West African Aedes aegypti, the dengue and zika vector, are reproductively incompatible; our earlier study showed that divergence and rearrangements of genes on chromosome 1, which bears the sex...

Apr 19, 2020
Conformationally flexible "Carbene-Metal-Amide" (CMA) complexes of copper and gold have been developed based on a combination of sterically hindered cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC) and 6- and 7-ring heterocyclic amide...
Lack of attentional retraining effects in cigarette smokers attempting cessation
Rachna Begh, Marcus R Munafò, Saul Shiffman, Stuart G Ferguson, Linda Nichols, Mohammed A Mohammed, Roger L Holder, Stephen Sutton, Paul Aveyard
Jun 15, 2018
BACKGROUND: Observational studies have shown that attentional bias for smoking-related cues is associated with increased craving and relapse. Laboratory experiments have shown that manipulating attentional bias may change...
