Comparative Study of the Chemostratigraphic and Petrophysical characteristics of Wells A-Al, A-Ll, A-Ul and A-Il in the Orange Basin, South Atlantic Margin, Offshore South Africa.
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
Many hydrocarbon reservoirs are situated in barren sequences that display poor stratigraphic control. Correlation between the wells can become extremely difficult and traditional correlation techniques can prove to be ...
A yeast 2-hybrid screen to identify and characterize interaction partners of the cancer associated protein Retinoblastoma binding protein 6
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
Retinoblastoma binding protein 6 (RBBP6) is a 250 kDa protein that is implicated in mRNA processing and ubiquitination functions and has been shown to be highly up-regulated in a number of cancers. In humans and mice, RBBP6 ...
Pharmacist educational outreach for improved primary care of asthma in children
(University of the Western Cape, 2001)
Underdiagnosis and undertreatment of asthma in children are barriers to optimal health care delivery and health, incurring substantial costs to both the families and health services. A tailored multifaceted educational ...
Active neutralisation and amelioration of acid mine drainage with fly ash
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
Due to the constraints being placed on water resources and a drive for major industries to recycle waste water, improved and cheaper water treatment technologies are being investigated. During mining, pyrite (FeS2), a ...
Hydrosalinity Fluxes in a Small Scale Catchment of the Berg River (Western Cape)
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
The occurrence of dryland salinity is widespread throughout semi-arid regions of the world. The sources of salts may be either rock weathering or rain deposition. Clearing of natural scrubland to make way for cultivated ...
