- Description: The bioavailabilities and activities of three amcinonide preparations and Betnovate cream were assessed using three multiple-dosage regimen vasoconstrictor assays in 10 volunteers. Applications were made once daily, twice daily and every alternate day with an initial three times daily loading dose applied on the first day only. Blanching responses first increased and then decreased due to tachyphylaxis. It is proposed that clinically the most advantageous dosage regimen is a once daily application with no loading dose.

Potential of entomopathogenic fungal isolates for Control of the soil-dwelling life stages of Thaumatotibia leucotreta Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in citrus

- Description: Thaumatotibia leucotreta Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a key pest of citrus in South Africa. In addition to the fruit damage caused, export markets such as the United States, South Korea and China regulate T. leucotreta as a phytosanitary organism in addition to restricting the use of pesticides on exported fruit (Grout & Moore 2015; SA-DAFF 2015). The bulk of citrus in South Africa is exported (Citrus Growers' Association 2015). Thus, the control of T. leucotreta is crucial. Consequently, the citrus industry adopts a zero tolerance approach controlling the pest, being strongly reliant on integrated pest management (Moore & Hattingh 2012). Numerous control options are available, but are largely limited to use against the above-ground life stages of this pest: eggs, neonates and adults (Moore & Hattingh 2012; Grout & Moore 2015).

- Description: Biocontrol of invasive alien weeds has produced great benefits, but concerns over undesirable impacts on non-target plants and/or indirect interactions between biocontrol agents and other biota impede the implementation of biocontrol in some countries. Although great strides have been made, continuing uncertainties predicting the realized host range of candidate agents is probably resulting in some being erroneously rejected due to overestimation of risk. Further refinement of host-range testing protocols is therefore desirable. Indirect interactions are inherently harder to predict, and the risk of both direct and indirect non-target impacts may change over time due to biocontrol agents evolving or expanding their range under climate change. Future research directions to better understand the risk of non-target impacts over time are discussed.

- Description: The radioluminescence of synthetic quartz annealed at various temperatures up to 1000 °C is reported. The amplitude of the emission bands increases with annealing temperature. In addition, when samples are annealed at temperatures exceeding 700 °C, the intensity of the radioluminescence increases with duration of annealing. The corresponding emission spectra show seven emission bands at 2.04, 2.54, 2.77, 3.04, 3.40, 3.75 and 3.91 eV. The change in dominant emission band with annealing is consistent with annealing-induced variations in lifetimes determined previously from time-resolved optically stimulated luminescence spectra in the same samples.

- Description: New rare earth element (REE) data from all lithologies of the Insizwa lobe, Mount Ayliff Complex, are presented. On the basis of size and type of Eu anomaly, the geochemical subdivision of the complex as previously described is sustained and, additionally, the Top Gabbronorite of the Central Zone is shown to have formed from a magma that was compositionally distinct from other Central Zone magmas. The Basal Zone crystallized from magmas with large negative Eu anomalies probably acquired through crustal contamination. Previously recognized compositional heterogeneity in the contact rocks is also a feature of the REE. Overall, the Insizwa magmas had higher La/Sm ratios and, to a lesser extent, higher Gd/Yb ratios than Karoo basalts and appear to have no representatives in the basalt lava sequence of Lesotho.

- Description: [From the introduction]: Injured-at-work employees, when the impairments are musculo-skeletal, and the injury beyond dispute, may be faced with formal rehabilitation or informal recuperation, sometimes preceded by surgical intervention, or they may be exposed to a process of application for compensation, part of which may involve medico-legal assessments. Questions that need to be addressed somewhere in this process will determine whether the impairment is of short duration, chronic or irreparable, and will involve determination also of the severity of the impairment and the issue of the workers’ capacity to return to the former occupation versus the need to find a new employment niche commensurate with the disabled workers’ capabilities. Inevitably in this process, if it is formal, someone will need to assess the musculoskeletal strength of the injured employee and make pronouncements as to physical capacity and work-readiness. In the absence of clinical ergonomists in South Africa this task falls to a variety of professionals, some well and others poorly trained to make these determinations. Most often the assessments of work-readiness are crude, amounting to little more than unsubstantiable value judgements of supervisors or health professionals not well versed in human performance capabilities. Increasingly however, better qualified professionals are making themselves available to meet the growing demands of a more employee-centred working ethos in this country. This paper is targeted at those medical, paramedical and ergonomics professionals who already have the facilities and the expertise to make use of the technique outlined herein, to further enhance their already sound means of job-related disability assessment.
