Packet aggregation for voice over internet protocol on wireless mesh networks
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
This thesis validates that packet aggregation is a viable technique to increase call capacity for Voice over Internet Protocol over wireless mesh networks. Wireless mesh networks are attractive ways to provide voice services ...
Production of cytokines in human whole blood after incubation with the nucleocapsid protein of the NL63 Coronavirus
(University of the Western Cape, 2012-11)
The Coronaviridae family consists of RNA viruses within the order Nidovirales. The family is
classified into two genera, namely the corona- and toroviruses. Coronaviruses are enveloped,
single stranded, positive sense ...
Genetic diversity of the Organic Cation Transporter 1 gene within the Cape Coloured Population
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity of the SLC22A1 gene and to deduce its possible pharmacogenetic implications within the Cape Coloured population of South Africa; a uniquely admixed population ...
Mobility management for Wi-Fi infrastructure and mesh networks
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
This thesis shows that mobility management protocols for infrastructure Internet may be used in a wireless mesh network environment. In this research Mobile IPv6 and Fast Handover for Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 are successfully ...
Expression of human coronavirus NL63 and SARS-CoV nucleocapsid proteins for antibody production
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
Human Coronaviruses (HCoVs) are found within the family Coronaviridae (genus, Coronavirus) and are enveloped, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA viruses. Infections of humans by coronaviruses are not normally associated ...
Prevalence and characterization of Gardnerella vaginalis in pregnant mothers with a history of preterm delivery
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
Risk factors such as intrauterine and vaginal infection put pregnant women at risk for delivering preterm. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a polymicrobial clinical syndrome commonly diagnosed in women of reproductive age, with ...
Situation-aware routing for wireless mesh networks with mobile nodes
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
This thesis demonstrates that a situation-aware algorithm improves quality of service on small mesh networks running BATMAN-adv with some mobile nodes. BATMAN-adv is a proactive mesh routing protocol that counts beacons ...
Inter-professional collaboration between general practitioners and community pharmacists: general practitioners’ perspectives
(University of Western Cape, 2012)
The global movement towards enhancing inter-professional collaboration in patient
care is in light of the increasing potency of drugs and complexity of drug regimens,
particularly in the chronically ill where poly-pharmacy ...
Premature aging of the lungs of the offspring induced by maternal nicotine exposure during gestation and lactation: protective effects of tomato juice
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
exposed to nicotine through the blood and the milk of the mother. Nicotine is thus expected to interact with the developing fetus and the offspring of mothers who smoke or use NRT for smoking cessation, resulting in the ...
An analysis of voice over internet protocol in wireless mesh networks
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
This thesis presents an analysis of the impact of node mobility on the quality of service for voice over Internet Protocol in wireless mesh networks. Voice traffic was simulated on such a mesh network to analyze the ...
