An Investigation of the Latent Semantic Analysis Technique for Document Retrieval
(2014)Latent semantic analysis (LSA) application in information retrieval promises to offer better performance by overcoming some limitations that plagues traditional termmatching techniques. These term-matching techniques ... -
Is leaf pubescence of Cape Proteaceae a xeromorphic or radiation-protective trait?
(CSIRO Publishing, 2012-03)Although pubescence has traditionally been considered to be related to the water economy of plants, the results are ambivalent and vary between different species. We tested two contrasting hypotheses for the functional ... -
Is the World Objective?
(Scientific Research, 2014-05)The assumption of an objective world underlying all our experiences is deeply embedded in our everyday thinking and in our language, and has been an unquestioned presupposition of the scientific enterprise for at least ... -
Isolation and characterisation of bacteria from the haloalkaline Lake Elmenteita, Kenya
(Springer, 2010-04)Culture-independent studies show that soda lake environments harbour diverse groups of bacteria and archaea. In this study different enrichment and isolation media were used in an attempt to isolate novel groups of bacteria ... -
