Inleiding tot die eksperimentele Sielkunde
(University of the Western Cape, 1948)Elke skolier wat rue tevrede is om dit op skool slegs met lepels in te kry nie, het seker al gewonder hoe kennis oorspronklik verkry word. In daardie stadium is ons gewoonlik nog tevrede om die feite wat die onderwyser aan ... -
Innovator Medicines Versus Generic Medicine Package Inserts Safety Amendments, the Reality in South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)Availability of clinically relevant and unbiased medicine information goes a long way in promoting rational use of medicines. The package insert (PI) is one of the sources of information utilised by healthcare professionals ... -
The inorganic pollution of the Franschhoek River : sources and solutions
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)The aim of the study was to quantify the extent of inorganic chemical pollution of the Franschhoek River and draw relationships between contaminants in water, sediment and plants. The invasive Acacia mearnsii and Salix ... -
Institutional overlaps in water management in the Eerste River catchment
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)In this minithesis I have investigated overlapping mandates as a source of management failure in water management in South Africa in general and Eerste River Catchment in particular. I analysed major legislation which deals ... -
Integrated approach to solving reservoir problems and evaluations using sequence stratigraphy, geological structures and diagenesis in Orange Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)Sandstone and shale samples were selected within the systems tracts for laboratory analyses. The sidewall and core samples were subjected to petrographic thin section analysis, mineralogical analyses which include x-ray ... -
Integrated approach to solving reservoir problems and evaluations using Sequence Stratigraphy, Geological Structures and Diagenesis in Orange Basin, South Africa"
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)The use of integrated approach to evaluate reservoir rock quality and source rock potential is becoming increasingly important in petroleum geology. This approach was employed to unravel the reason for variable reservoir ... -
The integrated effects of selected inducers of endoplasmic reticulum stress, the unfolded protein response and apoptosis on P-Glycoprotein mediated drug resistance in MCF-7 breast carcinoma cells
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)Purpose: One of the leading causes of death reported in women worldwide is breast cancer. Manytumours, including breast cancer, associated with poor prognosis, have received a renewed focus and increased perspective with ... -
An integrated sign language recognition system
(University of Western Cape, 2014)Research has shown that five parameters are required to recognize any sign language gesture: hand shape, location, orientation and motion, as well as facial expressions. The South African Sign Language (SASL) research ... -
An integrated study of the early cretaceous (Valanginian) reservoir from the Gamtoos Basin, offshore South Africa with special reference to seismic cacies, formation evaluation and static reservoir modeling
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)Integrated approaches in the study of petroleum exploration are increasingly becoming significant in recent times and have yielded much better result as oil exploration is a combination of different related topics. The ... -

Integrating 3D basin modelling concept to determine source rock maturation in the F-O Gas Field, Bredasdorp Basin (offshore South Africa)
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)The burial history, thermal maturity and petroleum generation history of the F-O Gas Field, Bredasdorp Basin have been studied using 3D basin and petroleum systems modelling approach. The investigated sedimentary basin for ... -
Integrating Complementary and Alternative Medicines into Pharmacy Practice: Identifying challenges in meeting professional responsibilities and training needs
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)Community pharmacies are popular suppliers of complementary and alternative medicines (CAMs) and pharmacists encounter requests from consumers for information on them. The purpose of this study was to assess the extent to ... -
Integrating regulatory and methylome data for the discovery of clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC) variants
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)Kidney cancers, of which clear cell renal cell carcinoma comprises an estimated 70%, have been placed amongst the top ten most common cancers in both males and females. With a mortality rate that exceeds 40%, kidney cancer ... -
Integration of petrographic and petrophysical logs analyses to characterize and assess reservoir quality of the lower cretaceous sediments in the Orange basin, offshore south africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)Commercial hydrocarbon production relies on porosity and permeability that defines the storage capacity and flow capacity of the resevoir. To assess these parameters, petrographic and petrophysical log analyses has been ... -
