Identification of novel cold-adapted nitrilase superfamily enzymes
(2009)
In bacteria, nitrile hydratases and enzymes of nitrilase and signature amidase superfamilies hydrolyse nitriles and amides to their corresponding carboxylic acids releasing ammonia. Bacteria expressing these enzymes are ...
Development of membrane electrode assemblies based on electrophoretic deposition for high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell applications
(2013)
High Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (HT-PEMFC) have
received renewed interest in recent years due to its inherent advantages associated with the limitations faced by Low Temperature Polymer Electrolyte ...
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 ...
Spectres of the untold: memory and history in South Africa after the truth and reconciliation commission
(2006)
This work is a meditation on the shaping of time and its impact on living with and understanding atrocity in South Africa in the wake of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC).
The development of a woman’s health handbook in the Western Cape
(2010)
Background:The Project reported on in this thesis took place between 2003 and 2006 and focused on the problem of high rates of low birth weight in the West Coast /Winelands area of the Western Cape Province, South Africa. ...
Arenas of contestation: policy processes and land tenure reform in post-apartheid South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
Summary: This thesis considers different groupings that have come together in their participation in the policy processes relating to tenure reform in post-apartheid South Africa. It is methodologically and theoretically ...
The relative impact of an argumentation-based instructional intervention programme on grade 10 learners’ conceptions of lightning and thunder
(2012)
The basic premise of this study was that when a learner is confronted with two contradictory explanations of the same phenomenon, there is cognitive dissonance in the learner as the learner tries to determine which of the ...
Translating policy into practice: aspects of learner-centred classroom practices in mathematics in Namibia secondary schools
(2008)
"This study is guided by theories about educational policy implementation and their implications for teaching. These theories underline the notion that educational reform is a progress and it iv comes in cycles. According ...
Electropolymerization and electrochromism of poly(4,7-dithien-2-yl-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole) and its copolymer with 3-methoxythiophene in ionic liquids
(2013)
This thesis is based on the study of electropolymerization and electrochromism of poly(4,7- dithien-2-yl-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole) (P(DTBT) and its copolymer with 3-methoxythiophene (MOT) in imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) ...
Lifetime measurements of excited nuclei through modern nuclear spectroscopy
(University of Western Cape, 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 ...
