This could be that the addition of chelating ligand complexed both metallic species retarding sulfidation of both metals, hence lowering the HDS activity. Studies show that it is possible for the citric acid to complex with both promoter and an active metal (Mo), and this might result in the formation of molybdenum dimers, trimers and tetramers which are difficult to sulfide. XPS analysis showed that unchelated catalyst have more MoS2 phases of 63%, hence higher dispersion than the chelated catalyst, this could be the reason for high activity in RhMo/Al2O3 (88%) catalyst.]]> Tue 01 Feb 2022 12:45:40 SAST ]]> Effect of coal and microalgae biomass co-firing on CO2, SO2 and NOx emissions: An experimental evaluation https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:45984 Tue 01 Feb 2022 12:10:53 SAST ]]> Corporate social responsibility from the community perspective https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:46016 Tue 01 Feb 2022 12:01:32 SAST ]]> Encouraging and discouraging factors to crime reporting in South Africa: a survey of residents’ crime reporting behaviour in Mthatha South Africa police service precinct https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:52622 Thu 30 Jun 2022 11:00:40 SAST ]]> Joice Mujuru and the Zanu-PF Women’s League 1973-2014: opportunities and limits of maternal dignity (musha mukadzi) and self-preservation https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:57012 Thu 29 Sep 2022 16:29:41 SAST ]]> Language Learning Anxiety: a bometric investigation of stress and language learning using wearable devices https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:61084 Thu 26 Jan 2023 15:14:24 SAST ]]> Cereal stem borer (Lepidoptera) assemblage structure in a sub-tropical agro-ecosystem, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:52619 0.05).

During the present study in the Sundays Estuary, low oxygen waters were recorded in the middle reaches (Site S5) mostly during summer (four months of low DO conditions). In the Swartkops Estuary, low dissolved oxygen was recorded in the upper reaches during spring. The lowest dissolved oxygen concentration recorded was 0.5 mg/l and 2.4 mg/l in the bottom waters of the Sundays and Swartkops estuaries, respectively. Selected dominant species were only absent from areas where dissolved oxygen was < 1 mg/l and present in the adjacent sites (for example Site S4, and S3) where DO was higher mostly during January 2019. As such, the low dissolved oxygen concentrations recorded in the Swartkops Estuary did not have a noticeable impact on fish distribution, although the total abundance of species did show a slight decline when dissolved oxygen was < 3 mg/l. This study demonstrates the importance of concurrently examining estuarine and nearshore marine habitats in order to identify ecologically important habitats, which has important implications for the development of effective management strategies for coastal fish populations, particularly in the light of anthropogenic change. In addition, in order to identify nursery hotspots it is crucial to correctly identify all the species occupying these areas. As such, this study confirms the importance of also using DNA barcoding for fish identification, particularly for the early life history stages of cryptic species (e.g. Argyrosomus inodorus and Argyrosomus japonicus).]]> Mon 10 Oct 2022 08:22:49 SAST ]]> Factors influencing the performance of staff members in a tertiary hospital https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:51737 Mon 06 Jun 2022 10:23:08 SAST ]]> A critical exploration of the attitudes towards and knowledge of natural resource management amongst first-year Natural Resource Management students https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:45688 Fri 28 Jan 2022 11:06:50 SAST ]]> Coordination polymers for denitrogenation of fuel oils https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:45682 Fri 28 Jan 2022 09:32:18 SAST ]]> Perceptions of small-scale vegetable farmers on drought mitigation strategies in the Amathole District Municipality of the Eastern Cape Province https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:45686 Fri 28 Jan 2022 09:28:09 SAST ]]> Microstructural characterization of Swift Heavy Ion (SHI) induced rotation in single crystal NiO https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:45685 Fri 28 Jan 2022 09:25:32 SAST ]]> Factors influencing entrepreneurial capabilities of South African schools: the case of selected schools in Harry Gwala District in Kwazulu Natal https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:46381 Fri 18 Mar 2022 09:40:13 SAST ]]> Contribution of the Community Works Programme (CWP) on poverty alleviation in the Western Cape Province https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:46880 Fri 18 Feb 2022 14:42:37 SAST ]]> Inbound tourist experience in south africa https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:46877 Fri 18 Feb 2022 11:49:53 SAST ]]> Assessing factors impacting effective corporate governance within Eastern Cape public entities https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:46866 Fri 18 Feb 2022 10:40:32 SAST ]]> Orthographic knowledge in isiXhosa and its relation to phonological processing, letter-sound knowledge, reading and spelling https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:70300 Fri 16 Feb 2024 17:40:04 SAST ]]> Chinese character learning with the aid of an ICT website among Mandarin Second Additional Language learners in South Africa: a case study https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:53641 Fri 14 Oct 2022 15:47:43 SAST ]]> Authentic leadership, psychological capital, work engagement and safety behaviour in a construction environment https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:46487 Fri 11 Feb 2022 17:56:31 SAST ]]> Notions of Identity and place in University -Campus Architecture: The design of a school of the Built Environment at Lerotholi Polytechnic, Maseru https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:59977 Fri 09 Dec 2022 08:39:20 SAST ]]> An Entrepreneurial Ecosystem framework for Nelson Mandela Bay https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:45630 Fri 07 Jan 2022 10:29:50 SAST ]]> Financial literacy: a conceptualisation in a South African University https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:47660 Fri 04 Mar 2022 12:00:30 SAST ]]> Customer experience at the East London fresh produce market https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:46217 Fri 04 Feb 2022 15:52:06 SAST ]]> A corporate strategy framework to increase financial performance in Zimbabwean firms https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:46206 Fri 04 Feb 2022 15:09:11 SAST ]]> A systematic review of sustainability reports in South African listed companies https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:46195 Fri 04 Feb 2022 14:44:48 SAST ]]> Factors influencing the buyer behaviour of Generation X and Y consumers in Johannesburg https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:46181 Fri 04 Feb 2022 11:43:28 SAST ]]> Emerging Job Categories and Competencies Informing Talent Strategies for Industry 4.0 Automotive Organisations https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:46174 Fri 04 Feb 2022 10:43:00 SAST ]]> A framework for transmitting and entrenching values in indigenous black South African family businesses https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:46171 Fri 04 Feb 2022 10:00:24 SAST ]]> Emotional Intelligence as a strategy to enhance leadership https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:46166 Fri 04 Feb 2022 09:28:23 SAST ]]>
