Predictors of design and adoption of collaborative elearning environments: a multi-method analysis
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Research has shown that collaborative eLearning can provide educational opportunities to groups of learners; both distance learners as well as traditional campus-based learners. It provides innovative educational methods ...
Isolation and characterisation of leaf endophytic bacteria from weed plants for enhancing salinity stress tolerance in Brassica napus
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
In an ever changing environment, plants are constantly challenged by various abiotic stresses such as salinity, which limits global crop production. This directly affects food availability for the global population, which ...
A relativistic analysis of proton-induced knockout reactions from oxygen isotopes with direct and inverse kinematics.
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
In this study a complete set of exclusive (~p; 2p) polarization transfer observables of closed-shell oxygen
isotopes are calculated using both direct and inverse kinematics using the relativistic plane wave impulse
app ...
Brine treatment using natural adsorbents
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
Studies involving the use of natural clays such as bentonite, montmorillonite and natural zeolite clinoptilolite in water treatment have been reported. Researchers suggested cost effective processes, such as ion-exchange ...
A robust audio-based symbol recognition system using machine learning techniques
(University of the Western Cape, 2020-02)
This research investigates the creation of an audio-shape recognition system that is able to interpret a user’s drawn audio shapes—fundamental shapes, digits and/or letters— on a given surface such as a table-top using a ...
Design and Implementation of a Credible Blockchain-based E-health Records Platform
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
With the development of information and network technologies, Electronic Health Records (EHRs) management system has gained wide spread application in managing medical records. One of the major challenges of EHRs is the ...
5G wireless network support using umanned aerial vehicles for rural and low-Income areas
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
The fifth-generation mobile network (5G) is a new global wireless standard that enables state-of-the-art mobile networks with enhanced cellular broadband services that support a diversity of devices. Even with the current ...
Assessment of the potential of hospital birth records to estimate the number of births: A case study of Germiston and Nkomazi Local Municipalities
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
The advantage of a well-developed health information system is the significant role played by records produced by such a system beyond recording medical history of individuals. They are the foundation for birth registrations ...
Investigating hydrogeochemical processes of groundwater, Heuningnes Catchment, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
This study was conducted to investigate hydrogeochemical processes controlling the evolution of groundwater chemistry and their influence on water quality in the Heuningnes Catchment. The role or influence of hydrogeochemical ...
Application of vertically aligned arrays of metal-oxide nanowires in heterojunction photovoltaics
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
The commercial need to improve the performance of low-cost organic solar cells has led to the idea for this research. The study discusses the synthesis of one dimensional TiO2 and ZnO nanowire arrays synthesised using a ...
