Burial history and source rocks characteristics of the montney formation, Alberta basin, Canada
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
More than 300 samples from the Montney Formations in the Alberta basin, offshore, Canada
have been analysed with locations in various parts of the Alberta basin. These samples were
mainly analyzed from two wells (well M28 ...
Dynamics and biological implications of the Port St Johns cyclonic lee eddy
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
This project describes the current dynamics of the cyclonic lee eddy off Rame
Head, Port St Johns and Waterfall Bluff, and how its physical forcing may
influence the biological communities. Three research surveys were ...
Imprints of Primordial Non-Gaussianity on Large Scale Structure in the Universe
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Large scale structure in the universe is one of the most important probing tools for
cosmological modelling. Assuming the hot big bang model of the universe, the expansion
history has undergone two phases of acceleration. ...
Synthesis of metal modified Mesoporous Zeolites catalysts: application in conversion of Olefins to Valuable liquid products
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
The effects of temperature, synthesis duration and silica source were studied to obtain
suitable conditions for our laboratory experiment concerned with the synthesis of MCM-41
catalyst. The transformation of 1-hexene was ...
The geotectonic evolution of a portion of the Garies terrane, Kliprand, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
The Kliprand dome is a poorly investigated structure located in the central part of the high grade
Garies Terrane of the western Namaqua Sector (NS) of the Namaqua-Natal Metamorphic Province
(NNMP). This structure is ...
Single nucleotide polymorphism association studies of ABCA13 and ABHD11 genes and the bioinformatics analysis of the autism candidate genes localized on chromosome 7
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Autism, Aspergers Syndrome and Pervasive Developmental Delay-Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS), among others, fall under an umbrella of disorders known as Autism Spectrum Disorder. Twin studies show that autism is a highly ...
The availability, applicability and utility of information systems engineering standards in South African higher education
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Higher education institutions in South Africa have invested heavily in information technology and information systems, with variable outcomes. Organisations in other sectors, such as engineering, the defence industry, ...
Imputation techniques for non-ordered categorical missing data
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Missing data are common in survey data sets. Enrolled subjects do not often have data recorded for all variables of interest. The inappropriate handling of missing data may lead to bias in the estimates and incorrect ...
Formulation of a nevirapine co-crystal as a liquid dosage form
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
Co-crystals are a solid phase phenomena that could enhance the physicochemical properties of an active pharmaceutical ingredient. A co-crystal has never been incorporated into a liquid dosage form with the assurance of ...
Measuring the quasar luminosity function below the detection threshold
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
The radio emission of radio-quiet active galactic nuclei (AGN) is thought to be from star formation and AGN related emission. I investigate these sources using 1.4 GHz radio data from FIRST and three optical quasars samples ...
