Affective gesture fast-track feedback instant messaging (AGFIM)
(University of Western Cape, 2005)
Text communication is often perceived as lacking some components of communication that are essential in sustaining interaction or conversation. This interaction incoherency tends to make text communication plastic. It is ...
The relationship between sediment composition and infaunal polychaete communities along the southern coast of Namibia
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
This study examined the relationship between sediment structure and infaunal polychaete communities off the southern coast of Namibia from two separate sets of data, and a total of ninety-two samples. It also examined ...
Preparation and physico-chemical properties of nickel nanostructured materials deposited in etched ion-track membrane
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The development of finely dispersed powders and superfine-grained materials intended for application in various areas of science and engineering is one of the challenges facing modern nanotechnology. Thus, specific fundamental ...
Pyridine carboxamide and pyrazole palladium(II) complexes as catalyst precursors for phenylacetylene polymerization
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The objectives of this project were to synthesize and characterise pyridine carboxamide ligands and their palladium complexes and investigate their catalytic activity in the polymerization process of phenylactylene.
Emission of ³He ⁴He and ⁶He particles produce from the interaction of ¹²C with ⁹³Nb at 400 MeV incident energy
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The inclusive double di®erential cross sections of 3He, 4He, and 6He par-
ticles produced from the interaction of 12C with 93Nb at 400 MeV incident
energy were extracted from the prescaled singles spectra which were ...
Fitting extreme value distributions to the Zambezi river flood water levels recorded at Katima Mulilo in Namibia
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The aim of this research project was to estimate parameters for the distribution of annual maximum flood levels for the Zambezi River at Katima Mulilo. The estimation of parameters was done by using the maximum likelihood ...
The petrophysical analysis and evaluation of hydrocarbon potential of sandstone units in the Bredasdorp Central Basin
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
This research was aimed at employing the broad use of petrophysical analysis and reservoir modelling techniques to explore the petroleum resources in the sandstone units of deep marine play in the Bredasdorp Basin.
Adequacy of existing protected areas in conserving biodiversity at global and regional levels in relation to socio-economic conditions
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
At a meeting of worl leaders at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, it was recognized that because of the tremendous increase in the size of the global populations (which ...
Synthesis and characterisation of proton conducting membranes for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) applications
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
For a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), the proton exchange membrane must conduct protons and be a good methanol barrier. In addition to the high methanol permeability achieved by these membranes, they are very expensive ...
Synthesis and electrochemical characterisation of conducting polyaniline-fly ash matrix composites
(2005)
The aim of this study was to produce useful composite materials from fly ash, a major waste product of coal combustion from power plants. Polyaniline-fly ash (PANI-FA) composites were prepared by in situ polymerisation of ...
