Identification and characterisation of cephalosporins and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from Misrata, Libya
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
Background: Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing (ESBL) and carbapenemaseproducing
Gram-negative bacilli showing resistance to cephalosporins and carbapenems
respectively, have been reported from several countries ...
Synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles by a green process and the investigation of their physical properties
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a wide and direct semiconductor with a wurtzite crystal structure. Its
multifunctionality as the ideal candidate in applications such as blue-UV light emitting
diodes, transparent conducting oxide, ...
Review of the effectiveness of the medicines regulatory systems in Zambia over the period 1995 to 2015
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
Due to inadequacy of data on the effectiveness of medicines regulatory systems in Zambia, this study
was framed. The aim was to evaluate legislative provisions for medicines regulation under three legalregulatory-
frameworks ...
Integrating Complementary and Alternative Medicines into Pharmacy Practice: Identifying challenges in meeting professional responsibilities and training needs
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Community pharmacies are popular suppliers of complementary and alternative
medicines (CAMs) and pharmacists encounter requests from consumers for
information on them. The purpose of this study was to assess the extent to ...
Application of enviromental and hydrochemical analysis to characterize flow dynamics in the Sakumo Wetland, Ghana
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
This research focused on understanding the current hydrogeology of the Sakumo wetland by
developing a conceptual flow model and simulating the groundwater flow system. The purpose of
the model is to assist in understanding ...
Reservoir Characterization of well A-F1, Block 1, Orange Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
The Orange basin is relatively underexplored with 1 well per every 4000km2 with only the
Ububhesi gas field discovery. Block 1 is largely underexplored with only 3 wells drilled in the
entire block and only well A?F1 inside ...
The role of arylamine N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1) in the clinical therapy of tuberculosis
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Despite attempts to develop new drugs to reduce the worldwide mortality rate attributable to
tuberculosis (TB), the illness remains a threat. Isoniazid (INH) has been used as a frontline
drug for decades. However, several ...
The phylogeography, biomass allocation and phenology of Salicornia tegetaria (S. Steffen, Mucina & G. Kadereit) Piirainen & G. Kadereit, an endemic salt marsh species in South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
Salicornia tegetaria is an endemic salt marsh macrophyte that is widely distributed in
estuaries along the South African coast. The aims of the study were to understand the
phylogeography of the species, compare the biomass ...
Tin Catalyst preparation for Silicon Nanowire synthesis
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
Solar cells offer SA an additional energy source. While Si cells are abundantly
available they are not at an optimal efficiency and the cost is still high. One
technology that can enhance their performance is SiNW. ...
Investigating the Gamma-ray Strength Function in 74Ge using the Ratio Method
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
An increasing number of measurements reveal the presence of a low-energy enhancement
in the gamma-ray strength function (GSF). The GSF, which is the
ability of nuclei to absorb or emit
rays, provides insight into the ...
