Sequence stratigraphic characterisation of petroleum reservoirs in Block 11b/12b of the Southern Outeniqua Basin
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
The main purpose of this study was to identify and characterize the various sand prone depositional facies in the deepwater Southern Outeniqua Basin which generally tend to form during lowstand (marine regression) conditions ...
Upper body pose recognition and estimation towards the translation of South African sign language
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
Recognising and estimating gestures is a fundamental aspect towards translating from a sign language to a spoken language. It is a challenging problem and at the same time, a growing phenomenon in Computer Vision. This ...
Determining the socio-economic value of groundwater: Franschhoek case study
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
The Western Cape, a province of South Africa is facing increased pressure to develop new supplies of fresh water to cater for the regions rapidly growing demand. Groundwater is being explored as a possible contributor to ...
Metallodendrimers as catalysts for C-C coupling reactions
(2011)
In this work, we describe the synthesis of ferrocenylimine and G1 dendrimeric N,N′ ligands, and their palladium(II) complexes. The ligands L1 – L4 were synthesized following Schiff base condensation reactions. The ...
Household access to water and willingness to pay in South Africa: evidence from the 2007 General Household Survey
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
This study assesses the present level of household water access and the willingness to pay in South Africa. Although the general literature informs that progress has been made in positing South Africa above the levels found ...
Construction and analysis of efficient numerical methods to solve mathematical models of TB and HIV co-infection
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
The global impact of the converging dual epidemics of tuberculosis (TB) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is one of the major public health challenges of our time, because in many countries, human immunodeficiency ...
Development of a comprehensive annotation and curation framework for analysis of Glossina Morsitans Morsitans expresses sequence tags
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
This study has successfully identified transcripts differentially expressed in the salivary gland and midgut and provides candidate genes that are critical to response to parasite invasion. Furthermore, an open-source ...
Synthesis, characterization and physicochemical properties of platinum naboparticles on ordered mesoporous carbon
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
In this study SBA-15 mesoporous silica template was synthesized and used as a sacrificial template in the preparation of ordered mesoporous carbon material. A chemical vapour deposition (CVD) technique using LPG or ...
Ion track modification of polyimide film for development of palladium composite membrane for hydrogen separation and purification
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
South Africa s coal and platinum mineral resources are crucial resources towards creating an alternative and environmentally sustainable energy system. The beneficiation of these natural resources can help to enhance a ...
Nanoparticulate of silver-modified poly (8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulphonic acid) nanobiosensor systems for the determination of Tuberculosis treatment drugs
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
This study firstly reports the development and characterization of PVP-AgNPs, PANSA and PVPAgNPs/ PANSA nanocomposite on gold. AFM and TEM analyses revealed highly electroactive nanocomposites whose morphogy and properties ...
