Fabrication and characterization of a solar cell using an aluminium p-doped layer in the hot-wire chemical vapour deposition process
(2010)When the amorphous silicon (a-Si) dangling bonds are bonded to hydrogen the concentration of the dangling bond is decreased. The resulting film is called hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H). The reduction in the dangling ... -

Fabrication and kinetic modeling of cytochrome P4502D6 amperometric biosensors for serotonin reuptake inhibitors
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)An amperometric biosensor was prepared by in situ deposition of cytochrome P4502D6 (CYP2D6, P4502D6) enzyme on a polyaniline (PANI)-doped glassy carbon electrode. The PANI film was electrochemically deposited on the electrode ... -
Fabrication of luminescent nanocomposites for diagnosis of breast cancer
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)In this study we were able to synthesize separately iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles, InP/ZnSe and CdTe/ZnS quantum dots. The iron oxide nanoparticles were coupled with InP/ZnSe QDs to form the luminescent magnetic ... -
Fabrication of metal-organic frameworks with application-specific properties for hydrogen storage application
(University of Western Cape, 2019)The application of porous materials into industrial hydrogen (H2) storage systems is based on their use in combination with high-pressure cylinders. The processing of metal-organic frameworks (MOF) powders into shaped ... -
Fabrication of nanomaterials from biomass for adsorption and antimicrobial applications
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)The Black soldier fly (BSF) is an environmentally friendly and sustainable insect utilised in the decomposition of organic waste. This is due to its voracious consumption capability, disruptive functions and economic ... -
Fabrication of type-I indium-based near-infrared emitting quantum dots for biological imaging applications
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)Semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots (QDs) are fluorescent nanometer-sized particles which have physical dimensions that are smaller than the excitonic Bohr radius, large surface area-to-volume ratios, broad ... -
Face-work and identities in a discussion about xenophobia
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)International students arriving at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) from other African countries find themselves in a position of having to negotiate their identities and positions with their South African counterparts. ... -
Facies, depositional environments and reservoir properties of the albian age gas bearing sandstone of the ibhubesi oil field, orange basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)The Orange Basin was formed during the late Jurassic to early Cretaceous periods due to Gondwana breakup and rifting and later drifting apart of the African and South American plates. The basin consists of siliciclastic ... -
Facilitating care: The experiences of informal carers during the transition of elderly dependants from hospital to home- a grounded theory study
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)Major changes have occurred in South Africa over the past twelve years. The delivery of health care changed significantly. Community Health Centres (CHCs) became the main service delivery sites within districts. Due to ... -

(University of the Western Cape, 1997)ln this thesis my project is to examine the academic development programme (ADP) at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) as a project of possibility mirrored against its basic premises and the practices which flowed ... -
Facilitating intra-regional trade through the movement of people in the Southern African development community (SADC).
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)Regional integration has been part of Africa’s overarching strategy for economic transformation. To further enhance sustainable development and economic growth, in the African continent intra-regional trade is equally ... -
Facilitating learning: An investigation of the language policy of Namibian schools
(University of the Western Cape, 2001)This research has sought to investigate the language policy of Namibian schools against the background of international literature on the advantages of mother tongue as medium of instruction during the initial years of ... -
Facilitating Small-Business Outsourcing ln the Western Cape A case study on the Business Opportunity Network (Bon)
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)Small enterprises (SMME) have become central to South Africa's efforts to create jobs, alleviate poverty and develop the economy. SMMEs, however, face a wide range of problems, with "market access" one of the key ... -
Facilitating the Cape's metropolitan spatial development framework by using Gis to investigate vacant land
(University of Western Cape, 1998)The trend in metropolitan planning is to provide overarching objectives for development, leaving detailed interpretation at the local level. The unspecific nature of these guidelines, however, coupled by the parochial ... -
