AtNOGC1 protein bioelectrode for the determination of stress signalling molecules - Nitric Oxide (NO), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Calcium ion (Ca2+)
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
It has been estimated that the world population will reach about 10 billion by the year 2050 and in order to accommodate the increased demand of food, the world agricultural production needs to rise by 70 % in the year ...
Electrochemical deposition of Graphene Oxide- metal nano-composite on Pencil-Graphite Electrode for the high sensitivity detection of Bisphenol A by Adsorptive Stripping Differential Pulse Voltammetry
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
Electrochemical platforms were developed based on pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs) modified
electrochemically with reduced graphene oxide metal nanoparticles (ERGO–metalNPs) composite
and used for the high-sensitivity ...
An investigation of water quality regulation by the Karsriviervlei, Bredasdorp
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Studies have shown that ecosystem services that are provided by wetlands are beneficial to
the improvement of water quality regulation. Some of these ecosystem services may include
sequestration of sediment, toxicants and ...
Mock HI spectral line stacking experiments for large galaxy surveys
(University of Western Cape, 2019)
The study of neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) plays a vital role in improving the knowledge about galaxy evolution since HI serves as the raw fuel for star formation. However, the current knowledge about it is limited to the ...
Identification and Molecular validation of Biomarkers for the accurate and sensitive diagnosis of bacterial and viral Pneumonia
(University of Western Cape, 2019)
Pneumonia remains the major cause of death in children and the elderly and several efforts have been intensified to reduce the rate of pneumonia infection. The major breakthrough has been the discovery of certain biomarkers ...
P- and e- type Semiconductor layers optimization for efficient perovskite photovoltaics
(University of Western Cape, 2019)
Perovskite solar cells have attracted a tremendous amount of research interest in the scientific community recently, owing to their remarkable performance reaching up to 22% power conversion efficiency (PCE) in merely 6 ...
Codes, graphs and designs related to iterated line graphs of complete graphs
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
In this thesis, we describe linear codes over prime fields obtained from incidence
designs of iterated line graphs of complete graphs Li(Kn) where
i = 1,2. In the binary case, results are extended to codes from ...
Estimation of Pareto Distribution Functions from Samples Contaminated by Measurement Errors
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
Estimation of population distributions, from samples that are contaminated
by measurement errors, is a common problem. This study considers the problem
of estimating the population distribution of independent random ...
Identification of novel microRNAs as potential biomarkers for the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer using an in-silico approach
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most fatal gynaecologic malignancy that is generally diagnosed in
the advanced stages, resulting in a low survival rate of about 40%. This emphasizes the need
to identify a biomarker that can ...
Physio-biochemical characterization of two wheat cultivars to Fusarium proliferatum infection
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Wheat is a key global commodity in terms of acreage and tradeable value and as a staple in
household diets. Many factors including biotic stress conditions have detrimental effects on
global wheat production and yield. ...
