Computational prediction of host-pathogen protein-protein interactions
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Supervised machine learning approaches have been applied successfully to the prediction of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) within a single organism, i.e., intra-species predictions. However, because of the absence of ...
Imprints of Primordial Non-Gaussianity on Large Scale Structure in the Universe
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Large scale structure in the universe is one of the most important probing tools for
cosmological modelling. Assuming the hot big bang model of the universe, the expansion
history has undergone two phases of acceleration. ...
Optical and electronic properties of methylammonium lead halide perovskite solar cells
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells have emerged as promising materials for next-generation
photovoltaics with certified efficiency of 22.1%. Despite rapid developments, achieving precise control
over the ...
Intra- and inter-population variation in the bladder grasshopper Bullacris unicolor
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
Although the processes that promote biodiversity and speciation remain poorly understood, ecological factors are thought to be one of the causal agents responsible for promoting variation. Bladder grasshoppers (Orthoptera; ...
A Comprehensive Study on the Global Regulatory Requirements for the submission of a Post-Approval Change, specifically a Change in Manufacturing Site
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Regulatory requirements for post-approval changes vary for different countries around
the world. It is a challenging and costly process for pharmaceutical companies to
manage changes to the approved regulatory dossier over ...
Coastal marine heatwaves: Understanding extreme forces
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Seawater temperature from regional to global scale is central to many measures of biodi-
versity and continues to aid our understanding of the evolution and ecology of biolog-
ical assemblages. Therefore, a clear understanding ...
Functional importance of snakes in a strandveld ecosystem
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
Gaps in our knowledge of the functional roles of snakes within ecosystems limit our ability to
predict the potentially cascading effects their removal from an ecosystem might create.
Extirpation of snake species could ...
Feasibility of Nuclear Plasma Interaction studies with the Activation Technique
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
Electron-mediated nuclear plasma interactions (NPIs), such as Nuclear Excitation
by Electron Capture (NEEC) or Transition (NEET), can have a signi cant impact
on nuclear cross sections in High Energy Density Plasmas (HEDPs). ...
Hydrological Characterisation of Wetlands: Understanding wetlands-catchment linkages
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
This study explores the hydrological processes of selected wetlands in four different catchments in South Africa (the Nuwejaars River in the Western Cape which has the Elandsdrift-Wiesdrift wetland; the Mohlapetsi river ...
Synthesis of metal modified Mesoporous Zeolites catalysts: application in conversion of Olefins to Valuable liquid products
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
The effects of temperature, synthesis duration and silica source were studied to obtain
suitable conditions for our laboratory experiment concerned with the synthesis of MCM-41
catalyst. The transformation of 1-hexene was ...
