Studies on the population genetics of Euphausiids: a comparison of patterns in plagic taxa displaying different distributions and life-histories
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
The systematic and population genetic relationships were characterised for three ecologically related euphausiid species: Euphausia lucens, E. recurva and E. vallentini. These species have different geographical distributions ...
Differentiation between Quinolone Resistant and Sensitive Isolates of Campylobacter jejuni by a Multiplex PCR Assay
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
Intense pulsed neutron generation based on the principle of Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation (PI3) technique
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
The development of a deuterium-deuterium/ tritium-deuterium (D-D/ D-T) pulsed neutron generator based on the principle of the Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation (PI3) technique is presented, in terms of investigating ...
Chereme-based recognition of isolated, dynamic gestures from South African sign language with Hidden Markov Models
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
Much work has been done in building systems that can recognize gestures, e.g. as a component of sign language recognition systems. These systems typically use whole gestures as the smallest unit for recognition. Although ...
Metric of trust for mobile ad hoc networks using source routing algorithms
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
This thesis proposed and presented technical details of new probabilistic metrics of trust in the links wireless ad hoc networks for unobservable communications. In covert communication networks, only the end nodes are ...
Perceptions of water scarcity: the case of Genadendal and outstations
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
The water resources management regime has shifted from one focusing almost exclusively on augmenting supply to one where ensuring access, equity and sustainability are an integral part of the process. A growing demand for ...
Homogeneity of nanophase electrocatalysts supported on mesoporous materials
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
An assessment of Hypoxis hemerocallidea extracts, and actives as natural antibiotic, and immune modulation phytotherapies
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
In South Africa, the crude aqueous extract from Hypoxis hemerocallidea is used by AIDS patients to treat opportunistic infections, such as tuberculosis. The rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, and extreme ...
Spectres of the untold: memory and history in South Africa after the truth and reconciliation commission
(2006)
This work is a meditation on the shaping of time and its impact on living with and understanding atrocity in South Africa in the wake of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC).
Pre-paid water metering: social experiences and lessons learned from Klipheuwel pilot project, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
This thesis examined a pre-paid water metering pilot project which was implemented in Klipheuwel , Cape Town, South Africa in 2001. It was anticipated that the implementation of pre-paid water meters would help improve the ...
