The antioxidant properties of melatonin during chemical hypoxia and reoxygenation injury in rat ventricular myocytes
(University of the Western Cape, 2000)
It is well known that ischaemia chemical hypoxia followed by reperfusion is not always accompanied by recovery of myocardial function and often produces further cell damage (Hearse et al., 1973). This phenomenon commonly ...
Isolation and Partial Characterization Serine Protease Inhibitors from Triticum aestivum cv' Witwol
(University of the Western Cape, 2001)
Plant diseases and plant pests are major constraints to plant growth and development, resulting in severe crop losses annually. Plant pathogens can be a variety of things, living and non-living. Non-living pathogens exist ...
Calibration of germanium detectors for applications of radiometric methods in South Africa.
(University of the Western Cape, 2001)
AII materials that are radioactive emit characteristic gamma-radiation. Natural radioactivity
can be used in heavy minerals exploration and processing, as well as in understanding
sediment transport. processes in coastal ...
The synthesis of analogues of the Anti-TB (agent: Diospyrin)
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
Diospyrin, a bisnaphthyl quinone molecule with proven anti-TB activity can be retrosynthetically formulated into two halves. In this work, the analogue chosen to be synthesized was similarly retrosynthesized into two halves. ...
Isolation and identification of PNP-A homologues from Xerophyta viscosa Baker
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
Maintenance of growth, development and normal physiological processes remains crucial
for the survival of plants. Plant hormones are described as integrators of external signal
and internal developmental process in plants. ...
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 ...
Substituted nick el pyrazole and palladiumpyruzolyl complexes as catalyst precursors for ethylene polymeization
(University of the Western Cape, 2003)
This study concerns the synthesis of pyrazole and substituted pyrazole nickel
complexes of the type [(3,5-R,R',pz)2NiB rz ( Pz : pyrazole; R = R' = cHr (1), tBu
(a)l and of the type [(3,5-R,R'pz)aNiBrz R: H, R' : CHr ...
Hydrothermal synthesis and optimisation of zeolite Na-Pl from South African coal fly ash
(University of Western Cape, 2009)
Millions of tonnes of fly ash are generated worldwide every year to satisfy the large demand for
energy. Management of this fly ash has been a concern and various approaches for its beneficial
use have been investigated. ...
The synthesis of methoxy-2-hydroxy-1,4- naphthoquinones and their reaction with aliphatic aldehydes under basic conditions.
(University of the Western Cape, 2003)
Although literature reports on the synthesis of variously substituted 2-hydroxy-1 ,4-
naphthoquinones appeared to be reasonable; in our hands difficulty was experienced
in duplicating much of the work.
In order to address ...
Hydro geochemical characteristics of the basement aquifers in namaqualand
(University of the Western Cape, 2003)
At the onset of this research programme it became apparent that there is a dearth of
research studies focusing on the groundwater resources of the region. As a result, a
conceptual representation of the hydrogeological ...
