A bioinfonnatics approach to the study of the transcriptional regulation of AMPA Glutamate receptors (GRIAs) and genes whose expression are co-regulated with GRIAs
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
It was postulated that each gene has three main sets of transcriptional elements: one which is gene-specific, one which is family-specific, and a third which is tissue-specific. The starting hypothesis for this project had ...
An exploration of the electrophysiological properties and ion transport across the isolated perfused seminiferous tubule of the rat
(UWC, 1999)
A knowledge ofthe transport of ions is fundamental to the understanding ofthe 'bloodtestis'
barrier and the transport of fluid across the seminiferous tubule. This is the first
study that has investigated the isolated ...
Exploration of the games of Malepa and Morabaraba in South African secondary school mathematics education
(University of the Western Cape, 2000)
This study is based on the Exploration of the Games of Malepa and Morabaraba in South African Secondary School Mathematics Education . It explores culturally specific games through a qualitative research methodology that ...
Protocols towards the synthesis of Chiral Isochromanquinones
(University of the Western Cape, 2001)
Very few protocols have been developed for the synthesis of chiral isochromanols. In recent years the active group of Giles et al. have
developed a very successful and highly efficient protocol using (^9)-ethyl lactate ...
Modeling the effects of environmental and ecological processes on the transport, mortality, growth, and distribution of early stages of cape anchovy (engra ulis encrasicolus) in the Benguela system
(University of the Western Cape, 2003)
An individual based modeling approach was used to study environmental factors and processes influencing the early life history of anchovy in the southern Benguela region and on the Agulhas Bank. The intention was to then ...
Molecular, functional and biological characterization of a single enveloped nucleopolyhedrovirus infecting the crop pest Helicoverpa armigera
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
My study involves a detailed molecular and cellular characterisation of a South African isolate of a nucleopolyhedrovints (I.IPV) isolated from the Lepidopteran insect Helicoverpa armigera (HaSNPV-SA). Chapter two entails ...
Identification and characterisation of the role of endozepine in apoptosis induced by ceramide
(University of the Western Cape, 2003)
Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death and is required for the normal development, tissue homeostasis and survival of organisms. The identification of mutations that can lead to alterations in cell death not only ...
Phylogenetic relationships of the subfamily petropedetinae noble, 1931 (anura: ranidae): a simultaneous analysis of morphological and molecular data
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
The Ranidae is one of the largest families of the Neobatrachia, but its taxonomy is in a state of flux. Major taxonomic rearrangements have recently been instituted for this family, but these have been mostly phenetic in ...
