Development of a high throughput cell-free metagenomic screening platform
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
The estimated 5 × 10³⁰ prokaryotic cells inhabiting our planet sequester some 350–550 Petagrams (1 Pg = 1015 g) of carbon, 85–130 Pg of nitrogen, and 9–14 Pg of phosphorous, making them the largest reservoir of those ...
Topogenous Structures on Categories
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Although the interior operators correspond to a special class of neighbourhood operators, the closure operators are not nicely related to the latter. We introduce and study the notion of topogenous orders on a category ...
Pricing European options : a model-free approach
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
This paper focuses on the newly revived interest to model free approach in finance. Instead of postulating some probability measure it emerges in a form of an outer-measure. We review the behavior of a market stock price ...
Genomic diversity and functional analysis of the solute carrier genes within indigenous African and Cape Admixed populations
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Solute carrier transporters belonging to the major facilitator family of membrane transporter are increasingly being recognized as a possible mechanism to explain inter-individual variation in drug efficacy and response. ...
Survival modelling and analysis of HIV/AIDS patients on HIV care and antiretroviral treatment to determine longevity prognostic factors
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
The HIV/AIDS pandemic has been a torment to the African developmental agenda,
especially the Southern African Development Countries (SADC), for the past two
decades. The disease and condition tends to affect the productive ...
The assessment of the bactericidal effect of green synthesized silver nanoparticles against a panel of infectious microorganisms
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
The emergence of multiple drug resistant microorganisms poses a major threat to human life. These microorganisms have made the currently used antibiotics ineffective and therefore continue to thrive. Therefore, there is a ...
The curious case of offset bars : markers for a baby galaxy disk or signposts of an interaction with dark matter sub halos?
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
We have used the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S⁴G) as a representative sample of the local universe (total of 2352 galaxies in S⁴G) to make a catalog of offset disk barred galaxies. Using the combined ...
A web-based biodiversity toolkit as a conservation management tool for natural fragments in an urban context
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
The collection of biological information has a long history, motivated by a variety of reasons and in more recent years is largely being driven for research and academic purposes. As a result biological information is often ...
Comprehensive fluid saturation study for the Fula North field Muglad Basin, Sudan
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
This study has been conducted to accurately determine fluid saturation within Fula sub-basin reservoirs which is located at the Southern part of the Republic of Sudan.
The area is regarded as Shaly Sand Reservoirs. Four ...
Investigations on the effects of Typha capensis on male reproductive functions
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Introduction: Typha capensis, commonly referred to as bulrush also called "love reed'' growing in Southern Africa's wetlands, is one of South Africa indigenous medicinal plants that are traditionally used to treat male ...
