Matrix comparison of isolation conditions for secondary metabolite producing marine sponge associated bacteria
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)The discovery of novel secondary metabolites has declined significantly in recent years whereas there is a rise in the number of multi-drug resistant pathogens and other types of diseases. The decline in natural product ... -

Measurement and modelling of catchment erosion dynamics under different land cover types, Jonkershoek Catchment, Western Cape
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)Several attempts have been made to assess the impact of post-fire soil erosion; however, erosion occurs as a result of the complex interplay between many factors, such as climate, land cover, soil and topography, making ... -
Measurements and applications of radon in South African aquifer and river waters
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)In the natural decay series of 238U an inert radioactive gas, 222Rn (radon) is formed in the decay of 226Ra. Because radon is relatively soluble in water, it migrates from places of its generation in rocks and soils to ... -

Measurements of edge uncolourability in cubic graphs
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)The history of the pursuit of uncolourable cubic graphs dates back more than a century. This pursuit has evolved from the slow discovery of individual uncolourable cubic graphs such as the famous Petersen graph and the ... -
Measuring the quasar luminosity function below the detection threshold
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)The radio emission of radio-quiet active galactic nuclei (AGN) is thought to be from star formation and AGN related emission. I investigate these sources using 1.4 GHz radio data from FIRST and three optical quasars samples ... -
Measuring transitional matrix elements using first-order perturbation theory in Coulomb excitation
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)The aim of nuclear structure physics is to study the interplay between singleparticle and collective degrees of freedom in nuclei and to explain how nuclei get excited and decay under di erent external conditions, such ... -
Medicinal plant use in the Dwarsrivier Valley, Stellenbosch
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)Plants have been used as medicine since antiquity. Passed on by word of mouth through the generations, this oral tradition is at risk of becoming extinct due to westernization and lack of documentation. The community in ... -
Medicinal uses of Galenia africana: A study of the antimicrobial, antifungal and anticancer properties
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)Over the years, microorganisms have become resistant to commonly used antimicrobial agents leading to multidrug resistance. This is believed to occur even with new classes of therapeutic agents thus creating a challenge ... -
Medicinal uses of Galenia africana: A study of the antimicrobial, antifungal and anticancer properties
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)Medicinal uses of Galenia africana: A study of the antimicrobial, antifungal and anticancer properties Over the years, microorganisms have become resistant to commonly used antimicrobial agents leading to multidrug resistance. ... -
Medicine therapy management for diabetic club Patients at a primary health care clinic: exploring a Potential role for pharmacists
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)Diabetes mellitus is a complex chronic condition and has become a major public health concern worldwide. Many diabetic patients are accessing primary health care (PHC) clinics for diabetes care. Diabetic patients who are ... -
Membrane module development for water recovery from humid gas
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)Over the past 5 years, South Africa has been experiencing a severe drought. This has caused industrial and agricultural processes, to compete for a limited supply of water. Since the economy relies mostly on agricultural ... -
Mercaptobenzothiazole-on-Gold Biosensor Systems for Organophosphate and Carbamate Pesticide Compounds
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)This study firstly reports the development, characterisation, and application of thick-film acetylcholinesterase (AChE) biosensors based on a gold electrode modified with a mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) self-assembled monolayer ... -
Mercury leaching from dental amalgam fillings and its association with urinary zinc
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)Mercury (Hg) is an example of a toxic metal that is not essential for nutrition. It exists in organic and inorganic forms in seafood and vapour from dental amalgam fillings respectively. Elemental mercury (Hg0) from dental ... -
Mesh Free Methods for Differential Models In Financial Mathematics
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)Many problems in financial world are being modeled by means of differential equation. These problems are time dependent, highly nonlinear, stochastic and heavily depend on the previous history of time. A variety of financial ... -

Meta-Cayley Graphs on Dihedral Groups
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)The pursuit of graphs which are vertex-transitive and non-Cayley on groups has been ongoing for some time. There has long been evidence to suggest that such graphs are a very rarety in occurrence. Much success has been had ... -
Metagenomic analysis and characterization of microbial diversity from hydrothermal samples of El Tatio geyser field, Chile
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)The El Tatio geyser field (ETGF) is the largest known geothermal field in Chile, forming part of a wide spectrum of extremophilic habitats in the country. The ETGF is NaCl rich, with high concentrations of toxic elements ...
