Galaxy Clustering as a Probe for Galaxy Evolution in Simulations
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)Studying clustering on small scales (<10Mpc) over a large span of red- shifts allows us to connect galaxies to underlying cosmic large-scale structure, and thereby provide constraints on the physical processes that drive ... -
Galaxy evolution and cosmology studies using luminous red galaxies
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)There have been a number of attempts to measure the expansion rate of the Universe using age-dating of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs). Assuming that stars in LRGs form at the same time, age-dating of two populations of LRGs ... -
Galaxy Evolution and Cosmology using Supercomputer Simulations by Daniel Cunnama
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)Numerical simulations play a crucial role in testing current cosmological models of the formation and evolution of the cosmic structure observed in the modern Universe. Simulations of the collapse of both baryonic and ... -
Gallic acid modulates salt stress tolerance in soybean plants by regulating antioxidant capacity
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)Soybean [Glycine max L (mer)] is one of the top commodity crops in the world including South Africa (de Beer and Prinsloo, 2013). These small yet important podded legumes are a great source of protein and are used in many forms. -
Gaming and computer science: Bridging the gender-gap
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)According to the literature, women are still unrepresented in the field of information technology. Although many women study computer science at first year level, the dropout rate for women—before they graduate—is high, ... -
Gamma spectroscopy and lifetime measurements in the doubly-odd 194tl nucleus, revealing possible chiral symmetry breaking
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)In the first experiment high spin states in 194Tl, excited through the 181Ta (18O, 5n) heavyion fusion evaporation reaction were studied using the AFRODITE array at iThemba LABS. The γ-γ coincidences, RAD ratios and linear ... -
Gamma spectroscopy of the doubly– ODD 194Tl Nucleus
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)The odd – odd Tl nuclei with A ≥ 190 have moderate oblate nuclear deformation and show rotational bands built on different quasiparticle excitations. Several phenomena, not yet fully understood, were observed in these ... -
Gang members' experiences of victimization and perpetration of rape in prison
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)People outside of prison tend to imagine sex in prison as violent gang attacks on defenceless individuals, but in actual fact, sex in prison is more complicated than the isolated gang rapes that take place. For the purpose ... -

(University of the Western Cape, 2012)Hypertension is a common chronic health problem worldwide due to contributing factors such as obesity, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet and changes in lifestyle. The standard of care for hypertension in South Africa is ... -
Gas diffusion electrodes for high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells membrane electrode assemblies
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)The need for simplified polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFCs) systems, which do not require extensive fuel processing, has led to increased study in the field of high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel ... -
Gas sensing properties of Ceo2 nanostructures
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)The industrial safety requirements and environmental pollution have created a high demand to develop gas sensors to monitor combustible and toxic gases. As per specifications of World Health Organization (WHO) and Occupational ... -
