The complexity of coordination in Zimbabwe’s power sharing government (2009-2013) : the case of green fuel and restructuring of the Zimbabwe Iron and Steel Company
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)This study examines the challenges of coordination in Zimbabwe’s power sharing government (2009 to 2013) between ZANU PF and the two MDC formations in the implementation of policies that cross ministerial jurisdictions ... -
The Complexity of Splay Trees and Skip Lists
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)Our main results are that splay trees are faster for sorted insertion, where AVL trees are faster for random insertion. For searching, skip lists are faster than single class top-down splay trees, but two-class and multi-class ... -
The Complexity of Splay Trees and Skip Lists
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)Binary search trees (BSTs) are important data structures which are widely used in various guises. Splay trees are a specific kind of binary search tree, one without explicit balancing. Skip lists use more space than BSTs ... -
“Compliance and enforcement: The Legal Suitability of the Utilisation of Criminal Sanctions in South African Environmental Law”
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)In this thesis I analysed the suitability and effectiveness of the criminal sanction with regards to compliance and enforcement in South African environmental law. My central argument is that the criminal sanction is not ... -
Compliance of public dental clinics in the Umgungundlovu district with norms and standards in the Primary Health Care Package for South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)BACKGROUND: The majority of South African citizens are dependent on the State Health Care system for their wellbeing. Dental services are part of this system. The first line of intervention for oral disease is the primary ... -
Compliance with international standards on compensation for occupational injuries and diseases by Zimbabwe and South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)This mini thesis provides a comparative study on two Member States of the ILO. These are, namely: South Africa and Zimbabwe. The purpose of this research is to find out whether Zimbabwe and South Africa are complying with ... -
Complicating “tradition” and “modernity”: Young South African Women‟s Perceptions of Lobola
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)An indigenous cultural practice among the many ethnic groups of South Africa, lobola has changed immensely, especially in highly urbanised towns. It has also been the subject of several interpretations in academia, the ... -
Composite low temperate hydrogen storage material on the basis of iron-titanium alloy ; synthesis and structure
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)It is widely believed that hydrogen will within a few tens of years become the means of storing and transporting energy. The reason is the depletion of hydrocarbons and the relatively facile production of hydrogen from ... -
Composite poly(dimethoxyaniline) electrochemical nanobiosensor for glufosinate and glyphosate herbicides
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)In this thesis, I present a simple, sensitive and low cost electrochemical nanobiosensor for quantitative determination of the herbicides glufosinate, glyphosate and its metabolite aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA). Firstly, ... -
The composition of photocatalytic nanofibres through electrospinning
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)The aim of this study was to enrich electrospun fibres with the active mineral phase TiO2 nanoparticles and then to evaluate how well the composite fibres performed in the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue ... -
Comprehensive fluid saturation study for the Fula North field Muglad Basin, Sudan
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)This study has been conducted to accurately determine fluid saturation within Fula sub-basin reservoirs which is located at the Southern part of the Republic of Sudan. The area is regarded as Shaly Sand Reservoirs. Four ... -
The comprehensive rural development programme as a vehicle for enhancing stakeholder participation in rural governance: a case study of Dysselsdorp in the Western Cape Province, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)The thesis seeks to investigate the extent to which the Comprehensive Rural Development Programme (CRDP) has succeeded in creating a platform for rural people, including marginalised groups, to be effectively involved in ... -
Computation of the character tables of certain group extensions
(University of the Western Cape, 1997)The work done in this mini-thesis deals mainly with different methods of calculating character tables of split extensions of finite groups. Three of the six character tables that are calculated are done with the use of ... -
Computation of the character tables of certain group extensions
(University of the Western Cape, 1997)In this chapter some basic theory on group extensions is first given in section 1.1 and then a method for finding the conjugacy classes of group extensions is described in section i.2. In section 1.3 we look at an example ... -

Computational analyses on transcriptional regulation in mammals
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)The genomes of various organisms have been sequenced and their transcriptome elucidated. With the information about genes and gene products readily available it has become of the utmost importance to decipher the underlying ... -
Computational analysis of multi-omic data for the elucidation of molecular mechanisms of neuroblastoma
(University of Western Cape, 2021)Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood. The survival rates of patients with neuroblastoma, especially those in the high-risk category, are still low despite varied therapies. The detailed ... -
Computational analysis of multilevel omics data for the elucidation of molecular mechanisms of cancer
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)Cancer is a group of diseases that arises from irreversible genomic and epigenomic alterations that result in unrestrained proliferation of abnormal cells. Detailed understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying a ... -
Computational characterisation of DNA methylomes in mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing hyper- and hypo-virulent strains
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, is estimated to infect approximately one-third of the world’s population and is responsible for around 2 million deaths per year. The disease is endemic in ... -
A computational characterisation of the relationship between genome structure and disease genes
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)This is a pilot study to investigate the relationship between disease gene status and the structure of the human genome with specific reference to regions of recombination. It compares certain characteristics of a control ...
