Nonlinear low frequency wave phenomena in space plasmas
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)In this thesis, using multispecies fluid plasma models, nonlinear electrostatic solitary wave fluctuations will be investigated in magnetized plasmas. The different models used for the investigation will be guided by the ... -
Nonlinear optical properties of natural dyes based on optical resonance
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)Recent research shows that the study of optical properties of organic material natural dyes has gained much consideration. The specific functional groups in several natural dyes remain essential for the large nonlinear ... -

Normalization and statistical methods for crossplatform expression array analysis
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)A large volume of gene expression data exists in public repositories like the NCBI’s Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and the EBI’s ArrayExpress and a significant opportunity to re-use data in various combinations for novel ... -
The North –South divide in international environmental law after the Paris agreement
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)Global climate change is a serious, severe, and potentially irreversible problem. If no actions are taken to curb greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures and sea levels will rise, wreaking havoc on earth, particularly ... -
Not liberation but justice: An Analysis of Reinhold Niebuhr's understanding of human destiny in the light of the Doctrine of the Atonement.
(University of Western Cape, 1992)This thesis takes a new approach to the interpretation of Reinhold Niebuhr's thought by arguing that the category of "redemption" is a key hermeneutical concept for understanding his theology. It is argued that his ... -
Not my hair! Perceptions of young black women on policing of their hair at Model C schools
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)This study aims to explore the experiences of young Black women educated in former all-white schools, better known as Model C schools, and their stories around the policing of their hair. This phenomenon is particularly ... -
The notion of non-reciprocity under special and differential treatment: a stab in the back for developing countries?
(University of the Western Cape, 2005) -
Novel 3-mercaptopropionic acid capped iridium selenide quantum dots modified electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of fish toxin, nodularin
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)A novel 3-mercaptopropionic acid capped iridium selenide quantum dots based label free impedimetric immunosensor was successfully constructed. The 3-mercaptopropionic acid capped iridium selenide quantum dots synthesized ... -
Novel adamantane derivatives as multifunctional neuroprotective agents
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)The pathology of neurodegenerative disorders involves multiple steps, and it is probably for this reason that targeting one particular step in a multi-step process has only yielded limited results. Nitric oxide (NO) is ... -
Novel adamantane-chloroquinolin conjugates to overcome plasmodium falciparum chloroquine resistance
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)Malaria poses devastating health and socioeconomic outcomes on global health especially among pregnant women and children below the age of 5 in endemic areas. This is exacerbated by Plasmodium falciparum resistance to ... -
Novel aminoquinoline-polycyclic hybrid molecules as potential antimalarial agents
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)Plasmodium falciparum malaria continues to be a worldwide health problem, especially in developing countries in Africa and is responsible for over a million fatalities per annum. Chloroquine (CQ) is low-cost, safe and was ... -
Novel approach of using Hydrogeochemistry, Hydrogeologic and Hydrostratigraphic techniques in evaluating coastal aquifers in Heuningnes catchment, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)The increasing population in search for better social and economic development in coastal areas puts groundwater resources under pressure because of the high fresh water demand for domestic and agriculture use. Seawater ... -
Novel aromatic dendritic-co-poly(3-hexylthiophene) composites for photovoltaic cell application
(University of Western Cape, 2021)Fossil fuels are part of fuels that are formed from natural processes and they are called non-renewable sources of energy. These include natural gas, coal and oil. They have been used for decades to produce energy globally. ... -
Novel genomic approaches for the identification of virulence genes and drug targets in pathogenic bacteria
(University of the Western Cape, 2001)While the many completely sequenced genomes of bacterial pathogens contain all the determinants of the host-pathogen interaction, and also every possible drug target and recombinant vaccine candidate, computational tools ... -
Novel genomic biomarkers for pediatric and adult acute myeloid leukemia
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous type of blood cancer that affects individuals of all ages. AML patients are categorized into favorable, intermediate, and adverse risks based on patients' genomic features ... -
Novel gold nanoparticles of drought tolerance enabler GYY4137
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)Different nanoparticles have the ability to improve plant tolerance to drought stress. In the study we report for the first time novel morpholin-4-ium 4-methoxyphenyl (morpholino) phosphinodithioate capped- gold nanoparticles ... -
Novel Nanostructure Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Reduction and Hydrogen Evolution Reactions
(University of Western Cape, 2020)widespread use of fossil energy has been most convenient to the world, while they also cause environmental pollution and global warming. Therefore, it is necessary to develop clean and renewable energy sources, among which, ... -
