Preferential flow modelling in a vadose zone using macro 5.0 - Cape Flats porous sands and Mpumalanga highveld clays case studies
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
Understanding fluid flow and solute transport within the vadose (unsaturated) zone is an essential prerequisite for protection of groundwater from contaminant sources occurring overland. Preferential flow paths in the ...

(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
Two species of Chrysaora are described from the northern Benguela ecosystem: C. fulgida and C. africana. These species can be diagnosed by a combination of morphological features including lappet and tentacle number, shape ...
Linking biology and sustainable livelihoods to the proposed establishment of community -based Eucheumoid farming in southern Kenya
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
Growth rates of three commercial eucheumoids: brown Eucheuma denticulatum and green and brown Kappaphycus alvarezii were studied at three sites (Gazi Bay, Kibuyuni and Mkwiro) in southern Kenya. The study was conducted ...
Effects of the alkaloid present in the ethyl acetate: hexane (1 :4) fraction of Crinum macowanii on the isolated perfused rat heart
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
Crinum macowanii (CM) is used in traditional medicine in the treatment of various diseases including ischemic heart disease, rheumatic fever, cancer and skin diseases. The aqueous extract of CM bulbs was found have a ...
The non-cancellation groups of certain groups which are split extensions of a finite abelian group by a finite rank free abelian group
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
The groups we consider in this study belong to the class Xo of all finitely generated groups with finite commutator subgroups. We shall eventually narrow down to the groups of the form T)<lw zn for some nE N and some finite ...
Development and implementation of ontology-based systems for mammalian gene expression profiling
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
The use of ontologies in the mapping of gene expression events provides an
effective and comparable method to determine the expression profile of an entire
genome across a large collection of experiments derived from ...
Measurements and applications of radon in South African aquifer and river waters
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
In the natural decay series of 238Uan inert radioactive gas, 222Rn(radon) is formed in the decay of 226Ra.Because radon is relatively soluble in water, it migrates from places of its generation in rocks and soils to other ...
Semi-synchronous video for deaf telephony with an adapted synchronous codec
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
As Information and Communication Technology (ICT) matures, communication services
must be improved to meet the needs of all types of users. For some uses, current Video over
Internet Protocol (IP) brings unsatisfactory ...
Character Tables Of Some Groups of Extension Type
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
The main aim of this mini-thesis is to give a description of some of the basic methods and techniques that have been developed to calculate the character tables of groups of extension type. We restrict our attention to ...
