Hydrogen selective properties of cesium-hydrogensulphate membranes
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
The production procedure of a CsHS04-Si02 composite membrane was optimized in order to obtain the highest possible H2:C02 and H2:C~ Idea selectivity permeance. The optimized membrane preparation procedure led to the ...
Characterisation, Isolation, Purification and Toxigenicity ofDiplodiatoxin produced by Stenocarpella maydis in Maize
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
Mycotoxins attract worldwide attention because of the significant economic losses
associated with their impact on human health, animal productivity, domestic and
international trade. Over 300 mycotoxins have been discovered, ...
The effect of kinetin and salt stress on pnp-a expression in erucastrum strigosum and arabidopsis thaliana
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
In agriculture crop productivity is greatly affected by stresses such as salinity, drought,
temperature and honnonal changes of crop plants and responses to these stresses. Studies
have shown that a natriuretic peptide ...
The effect of exogenous growth regulators on salinity tolerance in Erucastrum strigosum
(University of the Western Cape, 2003)
Randomized block experiments were conducted to examine the putative amelioratory
effects of kinetin or gibberellic acid at concentrations (0, 4, 12.5, 40, and 125 μM) in
Erucastrum strigosum plants subjected to a salinity ...
Modelling of reliable service based operations support system (MORSBOSS)
(2008)
The underlying theme of this thesis is identification, classification, detection and prediction of cellular network faults using state of the art technologies, methods and algorithms.
Synergistic effects of mixtures of fungicides and medicinal plant extracts against Botrytis cinerea
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
We hypothesize that South African medicinal plants contain compounds that can act in synergism with synthetic antifungal compounds. Four fungicides - Sporekill™, Rovral™,
Terminator™ and Teldor™ at doses 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and ...
Identification of quantitative trait loci control l ing the requirement for chilling in vegetative budbreak in apple (malus x domestica borkh.)
(2008)
The domesticated apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) has been distributed into diverse climatic conditions worldwide for commercial production of fruit. Apple trees need exposure to cold temperatures, referred to as chill ...
Oxidative fixation of dinitrogen by photocatalysis
(University of Western Cape, 2000)
The heterogeneous photocatalytic oxidation of dinitrogen to nitrate, NO3 and/or nitrite, no2 using peroxy species of titanium (IV) in aqueous suspensions has been investigated. The photocatalysts used were titanium peroxide ...
Design, implementation and evaluation of a model for Service-learning in Pharmacy (SLIP) at a tertiary hospital
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
In recent years the focus of pharmacy practice has changed from being primarily 'drug-centred to' one which is 'patient-centred' (El-Awady et al., 2006, p. l ). Developments in pharmacy curricula worldwide are reflecting ...
Hydrosalinity fluxes in a small scale catchment of the berg river (Western Cape)
(2008)
The objective of this study was to determine the hydrosalinity fluxes associated with overland and subsurface (vadose zone) flow for different soils and land uses. For this purpose, the following data were collected during ...
