An integrated study of the early cretaceous (Valanginian) reservoir from the Gamtoos Basin, offshore South Africa with special reference to seismic cacies, formation evaluation and static reservoir modeling
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Integrated approaches in the study of petroleum exploration are increasingly becoming significant in recent times and have yielded much better result as oil exploration is a combination of different related topics. The ...
The detection of meningococcal disease through identification of antimicrobial peptides using an in silico model creation
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Neisseria meningitidis (the meningococcus), the causative agent of meningococcal disease (MD) was identified in 1887 and despite effective antibiotics and partially effective vaccines, Neisseria meningitidis (N. meningitidis) ...
Investigation of the acoustic impedance variations of the upper shallow marine sandstone reservoirs in the Bredasdorp basin, offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Investigation of the acoustic impedance variations in the upper shallow marine sandstone reservoirs was extensively studied from 10 selected wells, namely: F-O1, F-O2, E-M4, E-CN1, E-G1, E-W1, F-A10, F-A11, F-A13, and F-L1 ...
Effects of catchment management on physical river condition, chemistry, hydrogeomorphology and ecosystem service provision in small coastal rivers of the Western Cape
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
River systems are by nature complex and dynamic systems, which vary in structure and therefore function, and are closely connected to their landscapes. The primary aim of this thesis was to develop a systems operational ...
Using coupled atmospheric-unsaturated zone model to quantify groundwater recharge to the Table Mountain Group Aquifer system, George, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
The current study aimed at providing groundwater recharge estimates in a fractured rock aquifer environment that is occupied by pine plantation and indigenous forests in order to improve the understanding of the effect of ...
Geochronology, petrogenesis and isotopic characteristics of the palaeoproterozoic Gladkop Suite, north-western portion of the Namaqua sector, Namaqua-Natal Metamorphic complex, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
The Gladkop Suite (GS) granitic gneisses in the Bushmanland Domain (BD) represent one of
the oldest rock units in the Namaqua-Natal Metamorphic Province (NNMP), and are located adjacent to
the northern Richtersveld ...
Proteomic and functional characterisation of biofilm formation in Xylophilus ampelinus
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Xylophilus ampelinus, the causal agent of bacterial blight of grapevine, inhabits the vascular tissues
of infected plants where the cells appear to form assemblages resembling biofilms. Bacterial blight
of grapevine ...
Advanced materials on the basis of nanostructured catalysed magnesium hydride for hydrogen storage
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Magnesium hydride has long been regarded as a promising candidate for lightweight hydrogen storage applications, owing to reasonably high theoretical capacity (7.6 wt. %). It is burdened by slow absorption/desorption ...
An analytical model for assessing the knowledge of statistical procedures amongst postgraduate students in a higher educational environment
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Over the past decades, the use and application of statistical concepts for university students have been a big challenge learned from their previous courses. Aftermath of democracy, South African higher education focused ...
The observed bispectrum for SKA and other galaxy surveys
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Next-generation galaxy surveys will usher in a new era of high precision cosmology.
They will increasingly rely on the galaxy bispectrum to provide improved constraints
on the key parameters of a cosmological model to ...
