Development of a health management information system using agile software-engineering methods
(2013)
The purpose of this thesis is to discuss the development of a web application
from scratch. It serves to build a health management information system from
basic principles and covers all the software engineering activities ...
Polyamic acid composites for multiiple sensing applications in complex sample matrices
(2013)
Polyamic acid-polypyrrole (PAA/PPy) composite films were prepared and characterised for the use as conducting platforms in the design of biosensor systems. The thin films were synthesised by electrochemical method from a ...
Assessment of the effects of clay diagenesis on some petrophysical properties of lower cretaceous sandstones, block 3a, offshore orange basin South Africa
(2013)
Clay diagenesis phenomenon and their effects on some petrophysical properties of
lower cretaceous silliciclastic sandstones, offshore Orange basin have been
established. Previous studies on Orange basin revealed that ...
Female migration and housing in South Africa: evidence from the 2007 community survey
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
Throughout the world, growing evidence suggests an increase of female migrants in migration streams. In the context of South Africa, women are not exempted from migration mechanisms. This new migration phenomenon is observed ...
Hydrogenisation of metals
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
Transition metals are a group of metals which are light in weight and have high hydrogen solubility. Their interaction with hydrogen is exorthermic and this phenomenon makes them “ideal” candidates for various applications ...
Metal nanoparticle modified polysulfone membrane for water treatment
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
Membrane separation processes have been widely applied in the treatment of wastewater with polysulfone (PSF) polymer membrane being the most frequently used in ultrafiltration of wastewater due to its chemical and structural ...
Effects of green, black and rooibos tea, coffee and buchu on testosterone production by mouse testicular cultures
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
Modulation of the male reproductive system occurs as a result of exposure to endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in different life stages. The effects of EDCs on the male reproductive system include infertility, decreased ...
Methodological approach of the spatial distribution of maternal mortality in Burkina Faso and explanatory factors associated
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
Maternal mortality is one of the most important problems related to the reproductive health. This is why the reduction by three quarters of maternal mortality by 2015 has been fixed as target No. 5 of the Millennium ...
The effects of maternal diets, varying in fat content, on proximal hepatic and skeletal muscle insulin signalling in neonatal wistar rat offspring
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
The incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is persistently increasing globally. T2D is associated
with pancreatic β cell dysfunction and insulin resistance in peripheral tissues such as the liver
and skeletal muscle. Skeletal ...
Bacteriophage diversity in haloalkaline environments
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
There are limited reports on virus population in haloalkaline environments;
therefore the aim of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity and
biology of bacteriophage communities in these environments. Bacteria ...
