Mathematical modeling and analysis of HIV/AIDS control measures
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
In this thesis, we investigate the HIV/AIDS epidemic in a population which experiences a significant flow of immigrants. We derive and analyse a math-
ematical model that describes the dynamics of HIV infection among the ...
Mathematical modeling of population dynamics of HIV with antiretroviral treatment and herbal medicine
(University of Western Cape, 2014)
Herbal medicines have been an important part of health and wellness for hundreds of
years. Recently the World Health Organization estimated that 80% of people worldwide
rely on herbal medicines. Herbs contain many ...
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 ...
Novel Nanostructure Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Reduction and Hydrogen Evolution Reactions
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
widespread use of fossil energy has been most convenient to the world, while they also cause environmental pollution and global warming. Therefore, it is necessary to develop clean and renewable energy sources, among which, ...

Structure property relationship and thermal stability of organic photovoltaic cells
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
In this thesis, regioregularpoly( 3-hexylthiophene) (rr-P3HT) polymer was used as a light absorption and electron donating material, while the C60 fullerene and its derivative [6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester ...
Synthesis of binary and ternary Pd-based Nanocatalysts for alcohol oxidation in alkaline media for fuel cell application
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
This study explores the use of UV-assisted reduction method to synthesise the catalysts, aiming at reducing synthesis time. The Pd and Au catalyst loading is kept at 5 wt% in order to reduce the cost associated with high ...

Synthesis, characterization and anticancer effects of quantum dots in neuroblastoma and glioblastoma cell lines
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
Introduction: Nanoparticles (NPs) are gaining increased popularity for cancer treatment,
especially the multifunctional nanoparticles like Quantum dots (QDs) which have a wide range of
applications in nanotheranostics, ...
