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 ...
Genetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA within Southern African populations.
(UWC, 2020)
As human beings we are curious about our origin and ancestry. A curiosity has led to an investigation of human evolution and expansion across the world by means of population genetics and phylo-genetics by evaluating a ...
Differences in visual attention processing: An event-related potential comparative analysis within psychotic disorders
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
INTRODUCTION: Sustained attention is known to be dysfunctional in psychotic disorders. Sustained attention is the ability to remain focused on a specific time-locked stimulus within a task. We aimed to determine whether ...
Packet aggregation for voice over internet protocol on wireless mesh networks
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
This thesis validates that packet aggregation is a viable technique to increase call ca-pacity for Voice over Internet Protocol over wireless mesh networks. Wireless mesh networks are attractive ways to provide voice ...
Changes in communities of Hydrozoa (Siphonophorae and Hydromedusae) across the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Metal assisted chemically etched silicon nanowires for application in a hybrid solar cell
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
Photovoltaic (PV) devices based on inorganic-organic hybrid active layers have been
extensively studied for over a decade now. However, photoactive hybrid layers of
material combinations such as rr-P3HT and SiNWs still ...
Geomorphic analysis of river character and behaviour in three semi-arid, mountainous catchments in the Eastern Cape, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2019)
The analysis of what controls why rivers are the way they are, and how and why they change is crucial in predicting river dynamics and deriving classification systems that can assist management. A variety of factors control ...
Geomorphological controls on pool formation and pool persistence in non-perennial river systems
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Globally climate variability and anthropogenic effects are causing more perennial rivers to become non-perennial rivers. Non-perennial rivers are distinguished by their isolated pools which serve as refugia for aquatic ...
Development and study of a Thoron (Rn-220) standard source
(University of Western Cape, 2019)
Thoron Rn-220 is a radioactive gas with a half-life of 55.6 s. It has been identified as a possible health concern in specific places such as monazite processing plants and (rare-earth) mines. The short half-life of Rn-220 ...
Polarizability effects due to low-energy enhancement of the gamma-strength function
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
Physics is the study of natural phenomena. Nuclear physicists have since the
discovery of the nucleus been working on understanding its dynamics. The nuclear
chart, analogous to the periodic table of elements, is illustrated ...
