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 ...
Geology, geochemistry and Sr-Nd isotope analysis of the Vredenburg Batholith and Cape Columbine Granites Paternoster/Vredenburg, South Africa: Implications on their petrogenesis, tectonic setting, and sources.
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
The late- to post-collisional Cape Granite Suite (CGS) located in the southwest of South Africa is
comprised of S-, I-, and A-type granites, mafic intrusives, and volcanic flows. The CGS is interpreted
to have formed ...
The effect of exogenous DIM on Brassica napus and its role in response to heavy metal stress
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Brassica napus is a plant that is used for human and animal consumption.
This plant is also used for phytoremediation due to its relatively higher level
of heavy metal tolerance. In South Africa, mining is one of the main ...
The safety and toxicity of MPA-CdTe quantum dots in legume plants
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
The expansion of nanotechnology, resulting in multitudes of consumer and industrial
products, causes concern amongst the scientific community regarding the risks associated
with the release of nanomaterials into the ...
Hyperglycinemia in captive-bred vervet monkeys with cataracts: genetic dynamics and associations
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
A small percentage (8%) of the captive-bred vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops)
maintained at Primate Unit and Delft Animal Centre (PUDAC) of the South African Medical
Research Council (SAMRC) were found to have high ...
Development of Copper Selenide Quantum Dots-Based Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Biosensors for Toremifene - A Breast Cancer Drug
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
With rising knowledge of the effects on plasma concentration caused by allelic variations in the
cytochrome P450 genes and other metabolic factors such as drug-drug or drug-food
interactions, more attention is paid to the ...
Investigation of the role of the ubiquitin-like DWNN domain in targeting Retinoblastoma Binding Protein 6 to nuclear speckles
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
Magister Scientiae - MSc (Biotechnology)
A Reductionistic Epistemology utilizing Brain Laterality which Investigates Pharmacists' Ideal Interactive Environment
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
The brain laterality of pharmacists may influence where the pharmacists are best suited to work. Brain laterality refers to the asymmetry of the hemispheres of the brain with regard to specific cognitive functions, such ...
Development of nanostructured electrocatalysts using electrochemical atomic layer deposition technique for the direct liquid fuel cells By
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
The depletion of fossil fuel resources such as coal and the concern of climatic change arising from the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) and global warming [1] lead to the identification of the 'hydrogen economy' as one ...
The molecular validation of miRNA's as specific biomarkers for early diagnosis of ovarian cancer
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Ovarian Cancer (OC) is the most common reproductive and the most lethal gynaecological
malignant tumour. The majority of Ovarian Cancers, comprising more than 95% of cases,
emanate from the surface epithelium of the ovary, ...
