Adenine nucleotides and selected chemical Parameters as potential markers for fertility assessment
(University of the Western Cape, 1997)
Diagnostic andrology with its descriptive approach to the diagnosis of defective sperm for the last 40 years has focused mainly on the macro- and microscopic appearance of the ejaculate. More emphasis has recently been ...
Cloning and sequence analysis of the gene coding for a Leuconostoe Bacteriocin
(University of the Western Cape, 1994)
Previous studies have shown that Leuconostoc (Lc.) carnosum Tal la produces a bacteriocin that has been designated leucocin B-Tal la [Papathanasopoulos, 1993, M.Sc thesis, University of the Witwatersrandl. Leucocin B-Talla ...
Thermal stability and defect structure of hot-wire deposited amorphous silicon
(UWC, 2004)
Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin films are presently used in several large-area thin-film applications. However, one major concern of a-Si:H is the fact that the stability of the material degrades when it is ...
Bioinformatics and polymerase chain reaction: Tools to determine the host specificity of Salmonella typhi murium
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
The nucleotide primer pair, Redl and Red2, was designed from the nucleotide
sequence obtained from the NCBI database (Fig. 2.1). This nucleotide sequence
encodes for the Salmonella typhimurium invasion gene D protein ...
An assessment of the virulence of listeria spp. isolated from raw milk and raw chicken
(University of the Western Cape, 1994)
Listeria a f~rn__e pathogen is the etiological agent of the deadly
disease listeriosis. Although, the virulence traits of international isolates of
Listeria are well studied, nothing is known about the virulence traits ...
The identification of regulatory Elements in pseudomonas aeruginosa and p. putida responsive to specific heavy metals.
(University of Western Cape, 1999)
Heavy metals constitute a group of about sixty-five elements having a density greater
than five (Gadd and Griffiths, 1978). Some metals, for example lead, copper, and nickel
are extremely precious and profitable to man ...
Mineralogy and chemical mobility in a weathered ash dump site, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
Coal fly ash generated from coal fired plants poses potential health risks to humans and plants in the environment due to the surface enrichment of the ash with various toxic trace elements during combustion. Only a small ...
New Algorithms for EST clustering
(University of the Western Cape, 2000)
Expressed sequence tag database is a rich and fast growing source of data for gene expression analysis and drug discovery. Clustering of raw EST data is a necessary step for further analysis and one of the most challenging ...
The evaluation of the imp act of interventions by a physiotherapist on intellectually imp aired and physically disabled children and their caregivers in two community groups in peri-urban Cape Town
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
Physiotherapy services for disabled children and their families have conventionally been received at a hospital or school for children with special educational needs in the main towns and cities of South Africa. Community-Based ...
An investigation of the effects of donor age on some haematological characteristics of the Wistar rat (Rattus Norwegicus)
(University of the Western Cape, 1986)
Knowledge of haematological 'normdata', of experimental animals, and the biological variables that affect it is essential in order to recognise
variations from the normal. In addition, the haemopoietic system may be ...
