A comparative study of the phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitory activity of artemisia afra, Leonotis leonorus and mentha longifolia plant medicines
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
The specific objectives of this study were to investigate whether Artemisia Afra, Leonotis leonorous and Mentha Longiflora have PDE 4 inhibitory activity, to determine and compare the levels of the total phenolic compunds ...
Numerical Treatment of Non-Linear singular pertubation problems
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
This thesis deals with the design and implementation of some novel numerical methods for non-linear singular pertubations problems (NSPPs). It provide a survey of asymptotic and numerical methods for some NSPPs in the past ...
A preliminary understanding of deep groundwater flow in the Table Mountain group (TMG) aquifer system
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
The Table Mountain Group (TMG) Aquifer is the second largest aquifer system in South Africa, after dolomites. This aquifer has the potential to be a signinficant source of water for the people of the Western Cape. The ...
Metal complexes based on monomeric and dendrimeric pyrrole-imine ligands as catalytic precursors
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
Over the recent past, organometallic chemistry has grown and the impact of catalytic applications in various chemical technologies has rapidly evolved from the realm of academic laboratories into full-scale industrial ...
Teaching logarithmic inequalities using omnigraph
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
Over the last few years it became clear that the students struggle with the basic concepts of logarithms and inequalities, let alone logarithmic inequalities due to the lack of exposure of these concepts at high school. ...

The focus of this work was to monitor and evaluate the hydrochemical characteristics of the groundwater in the Incomati Estuary for a period of one year. The aims of this work were to evaluate the groundwater chemistry ...
Codes from uniform subset graphs and cycle products
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
In this thesis only Binary codes are studied. Firstly, the codes overs the field GF(2) by the adjacency matrix of the complement T(n), ofthe triangular graph, are examined. It is shown that the code obtained is the full ...
