Formation evaluation of deep-water reservoirs in the 13A and 14A sequences of the Central Bredasdorp Basin, offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
The goal of this study is to enhance the evaluation of subsurface reservoirs by improving the prediction of petrophysical parameters through the integration of wireline logs and core measurements. Formation evaluations of ...
Challenges facing researchers conducting clinical trials in HIV prevention in South Africa: a focus on adherence
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
In clinical trials, adherence of the participants to the dosing instructions is a major challenge. Many researchers have identified medication adherence as a topic to further explore in order to obtain good, usable and ...
Seismic interpretation and 2D restoration of F-A gas field, Bredasdorp Basin south coast of South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
Seismic interpretation is always somewhat an uncertainty and questions on whether the horizons picked are properly correlated across faults and or the structures mapped are geologically or geometrically sensible always ...
Applications of DNA-barcoding in the identification and understanding of grass invasions in Southern Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
The spread of invasive species is one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity. Alien plant invasions also have serious economic impact in terms of the delivery of ecosystem goods and services. Studies of biological ...

Prescribing practice at a tertiary level paediatric hospital in South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
The objectives of the present study were to describe the type and frequency of prescribing errors and error frequency, to determine the error frequency for different drug classes, to identify potential drug interactions ...
Pore pressure prediction and direct hydrocarbon indicator: insight from the southern pletmos basin, offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
An accurate prediction of pore pressure is an essential in reducing the risk involved in a well or field life cycle. This has formed an integral part of routine work for exploration, development and exploitation team in ...
¹Genetic analysis of red pigmentation in ‘bon rouge’ pears (Pyrus communis L.)
(University of Western Cape, 2014)

Socio-economic position, oral pain and oral health-related quality of life among South African adults
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
Validation of the OHIP-14 for a South African adult population using CFA resulted in a 12-item scale (OHIP-12) with excellent reliability (α =0.94), but the structural pathway varied across the socio-economic groups. The ...
