Mathematical modeling of the population dynamics of tuberculosis
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)Tuberculosis (TB) is currently one of the major public health challenges in South Africa, and in many countries. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. It is known that tuberculosis ... -
Mathematical modeling of the transmission dynamics of malaria in South Sudan
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)Malaria is a common infection in tropical areas, transmitted between humans through female anopheles mosquito bites as it seeks blood meal to carry out egg production. The infection forms a direct threat to the lives of ... -
Mathematical modeling of tuberculosis epidemiology in Ethiopia
(University of the Western Cape, 2024)Tuberculosis (TB) is currently one of the most severe public health issues in Ethiopia and many other countries. Despite demanding efforts having been made by governmental and nongovernmental organizations to eliminate ... -
Mathematical modelling of HIV/AIDS with recruitment of infecteds
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)The influx of infecteds into a population plays a critical role in HIV transmission. These infecteds are known to migrate from one region to another, thereby having some interaction with a host population. This interactive ... -
Mathematical modelling of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the effect of public health education
(University of Western Cape, 2014)HIV/AIDS is nowadays considered as the greatest public health disaster of modern time. Its progression has challenged the global population for decades. Through mathematical modelling, researchers have studied different ... -
Mathematical models for optimal management of bank capital, reserves and liquidity
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)The aim of this study is to construct and propose continuous-time mathematical models for optimal management of bank capital, reserves and liquidity. This aim emanates from the global financial crisis of 2007 − 2009. In ... -
Mathematical models of credit management and credit derivatives
(2010)The first two chapters give the background, history and overview of the dissertation, together with the necessary mathematical preliminaries. Thereafter, the next four chapters deal with credit risk and credit derivatives.The ... -
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 ...
