- Description: An extracellular bacteriocin-like substance produced by Clostridium acetobutylicum was detected during studies on an industrial fermentation process. The bacteriocin-like substance was not inducible by either ultraviolet light or mitomycin C, and its production was not associated with the induction of a protease. Studies on the mode of action of the bacteriocin-like substance indicated that it had no significant effect on DNA, RNA, or protein synthesis, and it did not cause the loss of intracellular ATP. However, the bacteriocin-like substance was able to lyse SDS-treated cells and cell walls of C. acetobutylicum and was identified as an autolysin. Some of the characteristics of this extracellular autolysin were determined, and after purification it was shown to be a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 28 000.

- Description: The plant communities of the Andries Vosloo Kudu Reserve (6493 ha.; Acocks's Valley Bushveld) are classified using the Braun-Blanquet phytosociological technique. A checklist of the flowering plants is presented. The flora of the reserve displays an affinity to five phytochoria (Capensis, Karoo-Namib, Sudano-Zambezian, Afro-montane and Indian Ocean Coastal Belt 1, of which the Karoo-Namib and Indian Ocean Coastal Belt are the most extensive. The flora of the Valley Bushveld is regarded as adequately conserved, but a recommendation is made to consolidate the study area with adjacent farms. A small herbarium, containing specimens of all species listed in the checklist, has been established. The climate of the study area is classified according to the Koppen classification as Cfa. Simultaneous air temperature recording at four separate localities demonstrated that differences exist between local ities of marginally different altitude, aspect and slope. The phenology of 51 plant species, recorded at monthly intervals over a continuous period of 478 days, is presented. These species are classified according to their response to air temperature and rainfall for the initiation of new growth, flowering and fruiting. Species exhibited a spectrum of responses ranging from endogenous to exogenous control over phenological events. , KMBT_363 , Adobe Acrobat 9.53 Paper Capture Plug-in

- Description: In 'n hoofstuk getiteld In het teken van het persoonlijkheidsideaal in sy werk De Vlaamse Letterkunde van 1780 tot Heden bespreek R F Lissens die wegeb van die "expressionistische getij met die dood van Van Ostaijen, en die onvermoë van die roman om - op enkele min of meer geslaagde voorbeelde na - die tendense van die ekspressionisme te vertolk: verdere pogings in dié rigting loop dan ook teen die einde van die twintigerjare dood. Ook B F van Vlierden beskou die ekspressionisme as 'n in die grond ongeskikte voedingsbron vir die romangenre, met die gevolg dat die roman in dié jare - d.w.s. na die mln of meer naturalisties-impressionistiese romantradisie verteenwoordig deur Buysse, Streuvels, Timmermans, Claes - "in zijn eigen ontwikkeling op een kritiek keerpunt staat, waarbij men vooralsnog aIleen het kritieke van de situatie ziet ... Het decennium na de oorlog is in feite weinig gunstig voor de roman ... Ook P van Ostaijen heeft gepoogd een 'grote roman' te schrijven, maar deze werd nooit voltooid ... In de marge van het humanitair expressionisme ontstaan weI een aantal prozawerken, maar precies in het licht van de humanitaire poëzie is het vooralsnog duidelijk, dat deze uit een geestelijke kweeste bestaan, en dus een schakeI zijn in de ontwikkeling die van de werkelijkheid wegvoert naar een inwendig leven, naar een geestelijke ontwikkeling." Terselfdertyd, egter, is Lissens en Van Vlierden dit met J Weisgerber eens dat "het Jaar 1927 kan worden beschouwd als het begin van een nieuw tijdperk" en dat die leemte wat na die Eerste Wêreldoorlog onstaan het, weldra gevul sal word met 'n groot aantal romanwerke van 'n besondere gehalte. Die kritiek sien hierdie keerpunt met verloop van tyd al hoe duideliker in, maar erken nietemin óók dat die invloed van die modernisme, en met name die ekspressionisme, ''heilzame gevolgen heeft voor de roman. Niet vergeefs heeft deze beweging de ethische noot aangeslagen, de verantwoordelijkheidszin weer gewekt en al haar aandacht op de mens geconcentreerd. De nieuwe roman, die kort voor 1930 opkomt, kan men bezwaarlijk expressionistisch noemen, maar de grondige omkeer waar hij van blijk geeft, gebeurt ontegensprekelijk onder de invloed van het door het expressionisme gewijzigde klimaat." Anders gestel: "zij (gaan) akkoord met de veroordeling van de impressionistische en naturalistische opvattingen, maar tussen het individualisme van de 'estheten' en de humanitaire kunst van Ruimte, tussen de wetenschappelijke objectiviteit en de lyrische subjectiviteit kiezen zij doorgaans een middenweg. De nieuwe roman - en dat is de reden waarom hij deze benaming verdient - zal aan de individualiteit minder reliëf verlenen dan aan de 'persoonlijkheid', hetgeen wil zeggen dat het individu, dat zich op zichzelf bezint, aldus beseft dat het in morele of juridische zin met een gemeenschap verbonden is. Hij zal de mens tegelijkertijd in zijn individualiteit en in de eigenschappen van zijn soort beschouwen, en hoewel hij het Ik zal peilen, zal hij ook het zoeklicht richten op het onmetelijke terrein van de gemeenschappelijke waarden...". Dit is dus op die groeiende belang van 'n "persoonlijkheidsideaal, een modern humanisme dat sociaal solidair blijft doch de raadselen van de mens en het leven wil peilen" dat die klem tussen die jare 1930 en 1940 val: op "de mens op het voorplan", dus, maar óók op dié mens in gemeenskapsverband.

- Description: The largest known reserves of uranium are found in sandstone deposits, in the form of roll-front, peneconcordant and stacked types. Drilling on spacings of between 50 m and 5 m centres is the current method of attempting to delineate such ore bodies but because of the apparent random distribution of the mineralization there is a large degree of uncertainty in these predictions. Even on drilling grids of 3,5 m centres the uncertainty in predicting the distribution of stringer ore in roll front mineralization is still 100 per cent. (Sandefur & Grant 1980). Because of escalating costs it is becoming increasingly less economically feasible to delineate bodies of this nature in this manner and much more reliance will have to be placed on the geologist's interpretation of ore distribution when calculating ore reserves. The grade and tonnage of a sandstone uranium deposit can only be calculated with some degree of confidence if the processes forming the ore body are fully understood. The aim of this review is to examine the factors governing the formation and geometry of a sandstone body, the mobility and fixation of uranium and to establish criteria which will enable a more confident prediction to be made of the distribution of sand bodies and the distribution of the mineralization within them

- Description: Early in 1981, Professor S. Bekker of Rhodes University was invited to attend a meeting of the Amatola Basin Steering Committee of the Agricultural and Rural Development Research Institute (ARDRI) at the University of Fort Hare. At this meeting, Professor Bekker was invited to undertake a socio-economic survey of the Amatola Basin. The Board of the Institute of Social and Economic Research at Rhodes University gave Professor Bekker permission in February 1981 to undertake the research project on condition that it was conducted in the fashion this Institute usually requires. It was subsequently agreed that the survey, known as 'Amatola Basin VII: Socio-economic survey', was to establish the basic demographic, kinship, consumption and employment patterns of the residents of the Amatola Basin. Practices and traditions related to dry land agriculture would also be identified , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: Early in 1981, Professor S. Bekker of Rhodes University was invited to attend a meeting of the Amatola Basin Steering Committee of the Agricultural and Rural Development Research Institute (ARDRI) at the University of Fort Hare. At this meeting, Professor Bekker was invited to undertake a socio-economic survey of the Amatola Basin. The Board of the Institute of Social and Economic Research at Rhodes University gave Professor Bekker permission in February 1981 to undertake the research project on condition that it was conducted in the fashion this Institute usually requires. It was subsequently agreed that the survey, known as 'Amatola Basin VII: Socio-economic survey', was to establish the basic demographic, kinship, consumption and employment patterns of the residents of the Amatola Basin. Practices and traditions related to dry land agriculture would also be identified , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

The private education of English-speaking whites in South Africa: an historical and contemporary study of Catholic schools and schools belonging to the Conference of Headmasters and Headmistresses

- Description: From Chapter 1: At the 1956 Conference of Headmasters and Headmistresses of Private Schools of South Africa a motion was introduced proposing that the term 'private school' in the title of the Conference should be replaced by that of 'independent school'. The motion was defeated on the grounds that such an alteration would be 'difficult and misleading', (HMC, 1956(1)). This might well have been the case, but the proposer of this motion was no doubt aware that the term 'private school' was equally difficult and misleading.The first problem with the term 'private school' is historical. South Africa was in the British sphere of influence for more than a century and a half and consequently education in South Africa in general and 'private' education in particular has owed a great deal to that influence.

Labour migration, marriage and family life in a Ciskei village

- Description: From introduction: The aim of this thesis is to describe and analyse the effects of labour migration on marriage and family life. The field material is from Burnshill, a village situated in the Keiskammahoek district in the Ciskei. Keiskammahoek is bounded on the East by the districts of King William's Town and Stutterheim, on the West and South by Middledrift and on the North by Cathcart. The inhabitants of Burnshill are overwhelmingly Xhosa and Mfengu (the main ethnic groups in the Ciskei) but also include a small proportion of people whose clans are of Mpondo and Thembu origin. This village has undergone extensive change. As we shall show later, it was settled de novo by the Mfengu and the Xhosa during the second half of the past century. This is one of the reasons why it lacks the homogeneity and continuity of cultural tradition which are predominant features of long-established communities.

An investigation into the influence of the physical distribution concept on the performance of certain South African manufacturers of consumer products
- Authors: Staude, G E
- Date: 1981
- Subjects: Physical distribution of goods Industrial productivity -- South Africa
- Language: English
- Type: Thesis , Doctoral , PhD

- Description: The "Physical Distribution Concept" is being increasingly recognised as a vitally important business philosophy for those firms for which efficient physical distribution is critical to marketing success. Manufacturers of products which are perishable, easily substitutable; and/or quickly obsolescent are some which fall into this category. In a competitive business environment, factors such as the " availability" of the product, and not simply its price or quality, begin to exert a significant influence on the purchasing decision. The "Physical Distribution Concept" comprises three elements, namely, consumer orientation; organizational integration and profit orientation. "Physical Distribution Orientation" refers to the predisposition of the firm and its employees to these three elements. For the Physical Distribution Concept to serve as an effective guide to management action, a physical distribution orientation on the part of all those concerned with marketing and physical distribution-related activities in a firm, is a pre-requisite. The chief executive, in particular, should adhere to this business philosophy, regardless of the functional route he followed to his position. In his leadership role, theory holds that he exerts considerable influence on his subordinates, and consequently on his firm's way of doing business. This thesis is concerned with an analysis of the Physical Distribution Concept. It focuses on the chief executives of firms manufacturing consumer convenience goods, as well as consumer shopping goods. As such, it is primarily concerned with determining the extent to which the chief executives are physical distribution oriented and whether there is a statistically significant relationship between their extent of physical distribution orientation and their companies' performance. The thesis is also concerned with the extent to which any pattern of organizational arr angements for physical distribution exists.

- Type: Thesis , Masters , MA
- Identifier: vital:2260 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1004545 , Jacobson, Dan -- Criticism and interpretation , Identity (Philosophical concept) in literature
- Description: Dan Jacobson has written short stories, many non-fiction articles and eight novels: The Trap (1955), A Dance in The Sun (1956), The Price of Diamonds (1957), The Evidence of Love (1959), The Beginners (1966), The Rape of Tamar (1970), The Wonder-Worker (1973), and · The Confessions of Josef Baisz (1977) . The first five are all set in South Africa, though Jacobson has been living in England since 1954, i.e. since before his first novel was published. A distinct break in terms of subject matter and voice occurs after The Beginners , giving Jacobson what he calls "two rounds as a novelist. But critics recognizing this break seem not to have recognized that all eight novels are linked by certain thematic preoccupations, notably the notion of the trapped identity, which this thesis will attempt to demonstrate. On a first reading of Jacobson's work one is drawn to affirm his portrayal of the position of the white English-speaking South African, but a closer reading reveals that he does not speak as vitally to the South African situation as he seems to, or has been taken to do. Why this should be so is the second main concern of this thesis. In the first chapter the expectations underlying English literary activity in South Africa are outlined, as this is a necessary background to the discussion of Jacobson's South African novels.

" (Rutten, 1973, p.144). Juist deze vorm van onderzoek lijkt op het ogenblik soms weI eens verloren te raken tussen de veelheid van literaire theorieen die overal opgang maken. De beoefenaars van de literaire kritiek lijken dikwijls meer begaan met het opbouwen en afbreken van theorieen dan met het literaire werk zelf. Sinds W. Bloks studie Verhaal en lezer in 1960 voor het eerst het licht zag, mag er dan op het gebied van de literatuurwetenschap in de Nederlanden en daarbuiten heel wat veranderd zijn, maar zijn uitspraak: " ... dat de romantheorie op het ogenblik het meest gebaat is met analyses van afzonderlijke werken" (1969, p.9) heeft zeker nog niets aan geldigheid ingeboet.
