Using semantic profiling to characterize pedagogical practices and student learning : a case study in two introductory physics courses
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Framed by the South African imperative of widening epistemological access to undergraduate science studies, this research takes the form of a case study to investigate the educational affordances of an extended introductory ...
Development and characterization of bioceramic coatings for medicall and dental applications
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
Hydroxyapatite (HA), which is a natural component of bone tissue, is already being marketed as a coating for the metal shafts of hip implants as well as dental screws and other endoprostheses with the expectation of improved ...
An hi study of the nearby dwarf galaxy ic 4710
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
This work aims to study the dark matter content of the nearby (7.38 Mpc) dwarf
galaxy IC 4710 using the HI line observations from the Australia Telescope
Compact Array (ATCA). We produce the rst interferometric maps of ...
Out of thermodynamic equilibrium reaction of zinc-molybdenum system monitored by real-time rutherford backscattering spectrometry
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Solid phase reaction of bi-metallic thin films of zinc-molybdenum was thermally induced in
order to investigate the diffusion kinetics of this bi-metallic system. The Zinc-Molybdenum bilayers
were prepared by depositing ...
E2/M1 mixing in the Jπ= 5/2+ to 3/2+ transition in 21Na and its relation to the 20Ne(p,y ) stellar reaction rate
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
In the above, M is the total mass of the molecular cloud, R is its radius, k is Boltzmann's constant, G is
the gravitational constant, T is the cloud temperature, m is the mean molecular weight, and is the cloud
molecular ...
Radon exhalation studies for applications in low background environments.
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Neutrinoless double beta decay (0 ) is a rare process that is yet to be observed. Observation of neutrinoless
double beta decays would imply lepton number violation, and that the neutrino is its own antiparticle ...
Synthesis of bimetallic immiscible alloy nanoparticles through green and gamma radiolysis approaches for environmental remediation applications
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
The synthesis of bimetallic immiscible alloy nanoparticles (NPs) using versatile routes, is a major concern since physio-chemical methods are not environmentally benign. Breaking down the immiscibility would generate NPs ...
HI intensity mapping: Impact of primary beam effects
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Neutral hydrogen (HI) intensity mapping surveys with upcoming and future radio telescopes
such as the MeerKAT, a precursor to the Square Kilometre Array Observatory
(SKAO) MID telescope, have great potential for constraining ...
Pre-equilibrium cross section calculations with a realistic effective nucleon-nucleon interaction
(University of the Western Cape, 1995)
The principle aim of this work is to improve the way in which pre-equilibrium double differential
cross-sections are currently calculated [1, 2, 3, 4]. The theoretical basis for these
calculations is the Multistep Direct ...
(p.n.) Reactions on 59co in the intermediate energy range
(University of the Western Cape, 1992)
Detailed theoretical investigations [Chi80,Mos82,Kle85] of (p,n) and (p,p') data
indicate that the reaction mechanisms operative at intermediate energies and for
energy losses up to several tens of MeV are predominantly ...
