Development of nanobiosensors for phenolic endocrine disrupting compounds and anti- tuberculosis drugs
(2013)
Tuberculosis still remains one of the world’s killer diseases. Pyrazinamide (PZA) is one of
the most commonly prescribed anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drugs due to its ability to
significantly shorten the TB treatment ...
Ideologies and discourses underpinning paradigms of small-scale farmer development: a critical analysis of state and non-governmental extension support programmes in uPhongolo, KwaZulu-Natal
(2013)
As a means to reduce poverty particularly in rural areas, the South African government has placed great emphasis on the development of small-scale farmers into becoming commercial farmers. Central to this effort is the ...
Reservoir heterogeneity of the sandstone reservoirs within the Pletmos basin, block11a, offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
This study is aimed at illustrating the reservoir heterogeneity in the BCII - BCI interval of the Ga-field, offshore South Africa. This was achieved by generating a conceptual static model as a predictive tool for the BCII ...
The role of salt tectonics in the hydrocarbon potential of the post-salt deposits (Albian to Recent), offshore Gabon
(University of Western Cape, 2014)
Following successful discovery and production of hydrocarbons, Gabon is one of the key hydrocarbon target countries in Africa. Located in the Lower Congo Basin, the study area is based in Etame Marin Permit (EMP), which ...
Infiltration, runoff and particle mobilization on canola fields at langgewens experimental farm, Mooreesburg, Western Cape
(2013)
The primary origin of this project is due to a high demand for freshwater supply in the Berg Water Management Area (WMA). Most of the Berg WMA`s freshwater supply does not live up to the high ecological standards. This is ...
Pore pressure prediction and direct hydrocarbon indicator: insight from the southern pletmos basin, offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
An accurate prediction of pore pressure is an essential in reducing the risk involved in a well or field life cycle. This has formed an integral part of routine work for exploration, development and exploitation team in ...
Protein phosphatase biosensor for the detection of cyanotoxins associated with algal bloom
(2013)
The toxicity of microcystin is associated with the inhibition of serine/threonine protein phosphatases 1 and 2A, which can lead to hepatocyte necrosis and haemorrhage. Analysis of microcystin is most commonly carried out ...
Assessing the change in hydro-geochemical properties of fly ash over time when disposed into opencast coal mines in Mpumalanga, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Eskom supplies to 95% of South Africa’s energy needs and it primarily comes from coal combustion at their coal–fired power stations. Large volumes of fly ash are generated at these coal-fired power stations as a by-product ...
Sustainable utilisation of Table Mountain Group aquifers
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
The Table Mountain Group (TMG) Formation is the lowest member of the Cape Supergroup which consists of sediments deposited from early Ordovician to early Carboniferous times, approximately between 500 and 340 million years ...
Novel poly(propylene thiophenoimine)-co poly(ethylenedioxythiophene) composites of naphthalene diimide for applications in organic photovoltaic cells
(2013)
Solar energy generation arises as a result of direct conversion of sunlight into electricity a by solar cell; which is mainly made up of a semiconducting material incorporated into a system. It is emerging as one of the ...
