Development of aqueous ion-intercalation battery systems for high power and bulk energy storage
(2013)Aqueous ion-intercalation batteries (AIB’s) have the potential to provide both high power for hybrid-electric transport, and low cost bulk energy storage for electric grid supply. However, a major setback to AIB development ... -
Development of capacitive deionisation electrodes: optimization of fabrication methods and composition
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)The objective of this research was to optimize the fabrication methods for and compositions of electrodes for the Membrane Capacitive Deionisation (MCDI) system. Two electrode fabrication methods were developed, namely a ... -
Development of capacitive deionisation electrodes: optimization of fabrication methods and composition
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)Membrane Capacitive Deionisation (MCDI) is a technology used to desalinate water where a potential is applied to an electrode made of carbonaceous materials resulting in ion adsorption. Processes and materials for the ... -
Development of clinical guidelines for the management of post-operative pain within the medico-socio-cultural context of Ghana
(2012)Literature on post-operative pain indicates that post-operative pain is inadequately managed in many countries including Ghana. Little was also known about post-operative pain (POP) response and management in Ghana. This ... -
Development of Copper Selenide Quantum Dots-Based Therapeutic Drug Monitoring Biosensors for Toremifene - A Breast Cancer Drug
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)With rising knowledge of the effects on plasma concentration caused by allelic variations in the cytochrome P450 genes and other metabolic factors such as drug-drug or drug-food interactions, more attention is paid to the ... -
The development of design principles to guide the development of clinical reasoning in physiotherapy education
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)Clinical reasoning is enigmatic; however, students need to learn how to do it, educators need to be able to develop it, and experts need to explain how they do it. Health professions educators have described clinical ... -
Development of electrochemical sensors containing bimerallic silver and gold nanoparticles
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants that have been shown to be teratogenic, mutagenic and carcinogenic and pose serious threats to the health of aquatic and human life. Several methods ... -
Development of electrochemical ZnSe Quantam dots biosensors for low-level detection of 17β-Estradiol estrogenic endocrine disrupting compound
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)The main thesis hub was on development of two electrochemical biosensors for the determination of 17β-estradiol-estradiol: an estrogenic endocrine disrupting compound. Endocronology have significantly shown that the endocrine ... -
Development of evidence-based context appropriate public policy reform models that coherently promote healthy food environments and food consumption patterns in Zambia
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)The double burden of malnutrition is a growing concern globally. In Zambia, it is estimated that of children under five years, 35% are stunted, while 5% are either overweight or obese. In the adult population, 24% are ... -
