Lifetime measurements of excited nuclei through modern nuclear spectroscopy
(2021)
The progressive development of scintillator detectors has made it possible to perform direct electronic lifetime determination up to a few hundred nanoseconds. The 2” by 2” LaBr3:Ce detectors
provide a combination of ...
Extant benthic Foraminifera from two bays along the SW coast of South Africa, with a comment about their use as indicators of pollution
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
The results of the multivariate analyses suggest that most of the variation in the composition of the samples was of an intra-sample nature, illustrating large scale patchiness in foraminiferal distribution. There were, ...
Multicomponent catalysts for methanol electro-oxidation processes synthesized using organometallic chemical vapourde position technique
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
In this study, the OMCVD method is demonstrated as a powerful, fast, economic and environmental friendly method to produce a set of PGMelectrocatalysts with different supports, metal content and metal alloys in one step ...
Efficacy and safety of various tooth-whitening products, with special reference to the three dimensional colour space (L*a*b*) measurements and the microhardness tests
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
Tooth-whitening or tooth-bleaching has become an integral part of modern dental practice. Today, a large number of whitening products are available on the market which are commonly categorized into dentist-supervised home ...
Development and characterization of pro-apoptotic drug candidates for anticancer drug discovery
(2013)
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. According to the WHO, cancer accounted for 7.4 million deaths world wide in 2004. The metallo-compound cisplatin has been used for years as an effective antitumor ...
Low temperature tungsten trioxide nano/micro-systems for applications in gas sensing and electrochromism
(2013)
In this work we primarily set out to investigate the technique of Aqueous Chemical Growth as a means of producing WO3 thin films that find applications in gas sensing and electrochromism. For the first time we demonstrated ...
Socio-economic position, oral pain and oral health-related quality of life among South African adults
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
Validation of the OHIP-14 for a South African adult population using CFA resulted in a 12-item scale (OHIP-12) with excellent reliability (α =0.94), but the structural pathway varied across the socio-economic groups. The ...
