The present research work evaluates the petrophysical characteristics ...
Synthesis, optical and morphological characterization of pbse quantum dots for diagnostic studies: a model study
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
In this study PbSe quantum dots (QDs) were successfully synthesized via the organometallic and aqueous routes. Optical characterization was carried out using photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, structural and morphological ...
In-situ measurements and calculation of radon gas concentration and exhalation from a tailings mine dump
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
In Africa as well as in the world, South Africa plays an important role in the mining industry which dates back almost 120 years. Mining activities in South Africa mainly take place in Gauteng Province. Every year millions ...
Synthesis & characterization of yttria-stabilised zirconia (YSZ) hollow fibre support for Pd based membrane
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
Inorganic based membranes which have a symmetric/asymmetric structure have been produced using an immersion induced phase inversion and sintering method. An organic binder solution (dope) containing yttria-stabilised ...
Novel adamantane derivatives as multifunctional neuroprotective agents
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
The pathology of neurodegenerative disorders involves multiple steps, and it is probably for
this reason that targeting one particular step in a multi-step process has only yielded limited
results. Nitric oxide (NO) is ...
A study into the main structural features of the Namaqua region and their relation to the intrusion of the Keimoes Suite
(2013)
The thesis provides a study into the main structural features of the Namaqua Region
and their relation to the intrusion of the Keimoes Suite. This was achieved by producing
a digitized map of the Namaqua Region structural ...
Development of nanobiosensors for phenolic endocrine disrupting compounds and anti- tuberculosis drugs
(2013)
Tuberculosis still remains one of the world’s killer diseases. Pyrazinamide (PZA) is one of
the most commonly prescribed anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drugs due to its ability to
significantly shorten the TB treatment ...
Fitted numerical methods to solve di erential models describing unsteady magneto-hydrodynamic ow
(2013)
In this thesis, we consider some nonlinear di erential models that govern unsteady
magneto-hydrodynamic convective ow and mass transfer of viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting uid past a porous plate ...
Ideologies and discourses underpinning paradigms of small-scale farmer development: a critical analysis of state and non-governmental extension support programmes in uPhongolo, KwaZulu-Natal
(2013)
As a means to reduce poverty particularly in rural areas, the South African government has placed great emphasis on the development of small-scale farmers into becoming commercial farmers. Central to this effort is the ...
Multilayer graphene modified metal film electrodes for the determination of trace metals by anodic stripping voltammetry
(2013)
In this study multilayer graphene nanosheets was synthesize by oxidizing graphite to graphene oxide using H2SO4 and KMnO4 followed by reduction of graphene oxide to graphene using NaBH4. The graphene nanosheets were ...
