Power studies of multivariate two-sample tests of comparison
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
The multivariate two-sample tests provide a means to test the match between two multivariate distributions. Although many tests exist in the literature, relatively little is known about the relative power of these procedures. ...
The roles of intertidal marine gastropod shells as secondary substrate for macroalgae
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
Primary space within the marine benthos is by far the most limited resource for which all sessile organisms must compete. It only ever becomes available when the organisms occupying it dies or are forced to leave the area. ...
The transition of regulatory services from drug regulatory unit to Botswana medicines regulatory authority: an evaluation of the changes in regulatory services from the industry’s perspective
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
The Drug Regulatory Unit (DRU) was established by the Ministry of Health (MoH) to enforce the Drugs and Related Substances Act of 1992 in line with the Botswana National Drug Policy (BNDP) adopted in 2002 and the National ...
Polyphenolic, tannin and chemical compositional changes in leaves of sub-tropical grasses and fynbos shrubs at elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
The effects of elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations on plant polyphenolic concentration, tannin concentration and chemical composition were investigated in leaves of sub-tropical grass species and fynbos shrubs. The ...
A categorical study of persistent homology for closure space
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
We begin with the concept of closure space and show how it relates to other objects like graphs and metric spaces in categorical terms. We also study the notion of simplicial sets and show that there is an adjunction between ...
The formulation of a microsphere based fixed dose combination for oral antiretroviral delivery
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
The cost of providing antiretroviral therapy (ART) remains a significant economic burden on African countries due to poverty and a lack of resources. To reduce the economic burden of HIV infection, a formulation scientist ...
Exploring poly (2, 5) benzimidazole enhanced with carbon nanotubes for space applications
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
This work explores using polymeric materials for space radiation shielding in low-earth orbit. Shielding against radiation is essential on any space mission. Low atomic number materials, such as hydrogen, have shown to be ...
Sample selection effects in laduma stacking experiments
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
This study explores the impact of selection effects introduced by input optical cata-logues on high-redshift stacking experiments. Using the Hi stacking technique, the Hi content of LADUMA synthetic data cubes is analyzed ...
Discovery of heat shock protein90 inhibitors using structured-based virtual screening
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common irreversible dementia, caused by accumulation of protein aggregates in the central nervous system, with symptoms that include memory loss and behavioural abnormalities. Cholinesterase ...
A critical review of the who global report on traditional and complementary medicine 2019: implications for harmonization of traditional and complementary medicine regulation in Africa.
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
A broad range of Traditional and Complementary Medicine (TCM) practices and products is available and accessible to the population in many countries in Africa, and worldwide. Therefore, an effective and harmonized medicines ...
