A model of pension portfolios with salary and surplus process
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)Essentially this project report is a discussion of mathematical modelling in pension funds, presenting sections from Cairns, A.J.D., Blake, D., Dowd, K., Stochastic lifestyling: Optimal dynamic asset allocation for defined ... -
Model theory of algebraically closed fields and the Ax-Grothendieck Theorem
(University of Western Cape, 2020)We introduce the concept of an algebraically closed field with emphasis of the basic model-theoretic results concerning the theory of algebraically closed fields. One of these nice results about algebraically closed ... -

(University of the Western Cape, 2010)The purpose of this research study is to develop and describe a model to enhance the empowerment professional nurses to promote the recovery of people who have been diagnosed with depression. Depression is a prevalent ... -
A model to foster the use of records for evidence-based decision-making by senior managers in western cape governmental bodies, South Africa.
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)South Africa has placed emphasis on evidence-based decision-making for justifying service delivery improvement decisions. Evidence-based decision-making entails decisions made by referring to verifiable facts and figures ... -
Modeling of the dispersion of radionuclides around a nuclear power station
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)Nuclear reactors release small amounts of radioactivity during their normal operations. The most common method of calculating the dose to the public that results from such releases uses Gaussian Plume models. We are ... -
Modeling the effects of environmental and ecological processes on the transport, mortality, growth, and distribution of early stages of cape anchovy (engra ulis encrasicolus) in the Benguela system
(University of the Western Cape, 2003)An individual based modeling approach was used to study environmental factors and processes influencing the early life history of anchovy in the southern Benguela region and on the Agulhas Bank. The intention was to then ... -
Modelling and measurement of radon diffusion through soil application on mine tailings dams.
(University of Western Cape, 2004)Radon (222Rn) has been identified as an important factor that could result in a health hazard by studies all around the world. The health risks can be minimised by preventive measures where radon is highly concentrated as ... -
Modelling and measurement of radon diffusion through soil for application on mine tailings dam
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)Radon has been identified as an important factor that could result in a health hazard by studies all around the world. The health risks can be minimised by preventive measures where radon is highly concentrated as in some ... -
Modelling of asset allocation in banking using the mean-variance approach
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)Bank asset management mainly involves profit maximization through invest- ment in loans giving high returns on loans, investment in securities for reducing risk and providing liquidity needs. In particular, commercial ... -
Modelling of nonpoint source pollution in the Kuils River catchment, Western Cape - South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)The Kuils River Catchment is an urban river catchment that forms part of the larger Kuils-Eerste River system draining the eastern half of the Cape Metropolitan Authority area and Stellenbosch Municipality. Rapid urbanisation ... -
