This study also investigated whether woodland dormice Graphiurus murinus positively select or avoid specific microhabitat types or structures, and whether a set of predictor variables related to microhabitat characteristics can explain the presence and rates of visits to specific trapping stations. Trapping was conducted seasonally, over 5 days, between June 2011 and April 2012. A grid of 96 stations (16 rows × 6 lines) was established. Trap stations were set at 10-m intervals. At each station two Sherman traps were placed. The 192 traps were distributed relatively equitably among four height categories (0–0.5 m, 0.51–1 m, 1.01–1.5 m, and 1.51–2.5 m). On average, trapping success was 4.70 ± 4.17 dormice per 100 traps. Dormice were trapped at an average height of 136 ± 64 cm, which was significantly higher than the average height at which traps were set (99 ± 75 cm). Bonferroni Z tests indicated that dormice positively selected areas with high canopy cover and connectivity, possibly to decrease predation risk. Generalized Linear Models showed that trap use and numbers of visits and different animals caught were positively associated with a high arboreal connectivity, hence supporting the hypothesis that woodland dormice may depend on wooden “corridors” for their movements.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 23:25:59 SAST ]]> Enterococcus pathotypes as reservoirs of antibiotic resistance determinants in the Kat River and Fort Beaufort abstraction waters https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11290 Wed 12 May 2021 23:22:42 SAST ]]> Assessing the impact of primary agricultural co-operative membership on smallholder farm performance (crops) in Mnquma Local Municipality of the Eastern Cape Province https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11231 Wed 12 May 2021 23:19:33 SAST ]]> Effects of oats and vetch cover crops on light organic matter fractions and activities of selected enzymes in an irrigated maize based conservation agriculture system on Alice Jozini Ecotope in the Eastern Cape, South Africa https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11872 Wed 12 May 2021 22:58:52 SAST ]]> Electronic Governance (E-Governance) as a Public Sector Management Tool for service provision in Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11714 Wed 12 May 2021 22:53:20 SAST ]]> Assessing the effectiveness of section 21 schools in public financial management (a case of circuit 13 in King William’s Town district in the Eastern Cape) https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:26529 Wed 12 May 2021 22:24:07 SAST ]]> Barriers and incentives to potential adoption of biofuel crops by smallholder farmers in selected areas in the Chris Hani and O.R.

Pork from LW pigs receiving 5% MOLM had significantly increased (P<0.05) n-3 content of the subcutaneous tissue of LW pigs compared to KB, and also when compread to other treatment groups. In both breeds, the composition of PUFA: SFA and n-6: n-3 in the subcutaneous adipose tissue was significantly (P<0.05) lower in T2 and T3 than in T1. The n-3 levels for pork muscle from LW pigs receiving 2.5% and 5% MOLM, and from KB pigs receiving 5% MOLM, were significantly (P<0.05) lower. Inclusions of MOLM significantly (P<0.05) reduced the n-6: n-3 fatty acids in pork from both LW pigs and KB pigs. Consumer scores on sensory attributes (aroma intensity, initial impression of juiciness, first bite, sustained impression of juiciness, muscle fibre and overall tenderness and overall flavor intensity) significantly (P<0.05) increased as the level of MOLM inclusion in the diet increased; and higher scores were observed in fried meat than in boiled for most sensory attributes. It may be concluded that inclusion of MOLM in pig diets up to 5% improved the ADFI, a*, tenderness of pork without adversely affecting the FCR and other physico-chemical quality attributes; and resulted in desired increase in levels of n-3 and reduced the n-6: n-3 fatty acid ratio.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 03:31:39 SAST ]]> Evaluating the implementation of the principles of good governance in Zimbabwe local government system : a case of Marondera local municipality https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39453 Thu 13 May 2021 03:28:24 SAST ]]> A critical analysis of Public Administration policies and strategies towards assisting child headed household, at Amathole District https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11744 Thu 13 May 2021 03:19:39 SAST ]]> Educators’ perceptions of foundation phase mathematics Curriculum Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:26549 Thu 13 May 2021 03:14:33 SAST ]]> An assessment of the roles of co-operatives as agents of development in rural areas: a case study of Inkwanca Local Municipality https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11680 Thu 13 May 2021 02:56:40 SAST ]]> An assessment of financial accountability on social grants at the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA), 2011-2012 https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:26535 Thu 13 May 2021 02:50:44 SAST ]]> Effect of irrigation farming potential on commercialization of smallholder farming in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11218 Thu 13 May 2021 02:18:00 SAST ]]> An evaluation on the implementation of Batho Pele Service Delivery Policy: a case of South African Social Security Agency in Amathole District Municipality https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11710 Thu 13 May 2021 02:11:56 SAST ]]> Energy and sustainable development: the case of Dewedzo rural community in Zimbabwe https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:26504 Thu 13 May 2021 02:09:58 SAST ]]> Assessment of the prevalence of faecal coliforms and Escherichia coli o157:h7 in the final effluents of two wastewater treatment plants in Amahlathi Local Municipality of Eastern Cape Province, South Africa https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11283 Thu 13 May 2021 02:04:23 SAST ]]> An assessment of the implementation of local economic development: a case study of Nkonkobe Local municipality in the Eastern Cape https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:26530 Thu 13 May 2021 01:50:26 SAST ]]> A critical analysis of the implementation of essential service clause of labour relations act by unions: a case study of the Eastern Cape Administration https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11716 Thu 13 May 2021 01:31:33 SAST ]]> An investigation on the opinions of teachers on the policy implementation of life orientation curriculum: a case study of five schools in Cofimvaba Education District https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:26487 Thu 13 May 2021 01:24:18 SAST ]]> Aggregate stability, crust formation, steady state infiltration and mode of seedling emergence in soils with various texture and mineralogy https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11871 2 mm aggregates.

In the second group, consisting one ecotope dominated by kaolinite and relatively higher clay content, the SSIR was 15.23 mm hr-1.

The IR resulted in higher crust strength and SSIR than SR. The effect of rainfall pattern on SSIR was mostly influenced by the primary minerals namely, quartz.
