Characterization of two Arabidopsis thaliana genes with roles in plant homeostasis
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
Plants are continuously exposed to varying conditions in their environment, to which they have to adapt by manipulating various cellular processes. Environmental (abiotic) and pathogen (biotic) stress are challenges against ...
Electrical resistivity of the kondo systems (Ce1−xREx)In3, RE = Gd, Tb, Dy AND Ce(Pt1−xNix)Si2
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
The present study investigates the strength of the hybridization by substituting Ce atom in Kondo lattice CeIn3 with Gd, Tb, and Dy and by changing the chemical environment around the Ce atom in substituting Pt with Ni in ...
The synthesis of the cyclometallated palladium complexes and their applications in olefin oligomerization and in phenylacetylene oligomerization/polymerization
(2007)
This thesis reports the synthesis of the imine ligands from Schiff base condensation reaction of aldehyde derivatives and equimolar quantities of aniline derivatives. The imine ligands spectrometry.
Exploration of several radiation-based analytical techniques to investigate chlorides and chlorides effects within concrete
(2007)
In this study, the capabilities of Neutron Radiography (NRad) and -Tomography (NTomo), as well as X-ray Radiography (XRad) to investigate chlorides and chlorides corrosion effects within steel reinforced laboratory concrete ...
Market segmentation and factors affecting stock returns on the JSE
(2008)
This study examines the relationship between stock returns and market segmentation. Monthly returns of stocks listed on the JSE from 1997-2007 are analysed using mostly the analytic factor and cluster analysis techniques. ...
Digital watermarking methods for data security and authentication
(2008)
Cryptology is the study of systems that typically originate from a consideration of the ideal circumstances under which secure information exchange is to take place. It involves the study of cryptographic and other processes ...
The structure of the reproductive system in the male vervet monkey, chlorocebus aethiops, with special reference to spermatogenesis
(2007)
The vervet monkey, Chlorocebus aethiops, an Old World monkey, has been often used in biomedical research programs (toxicological studies and fertility) because of the inaccessibility of relevant human tissues. Data from ...
Hydraulic properties of the table mountain group (TMG) aquifers
(2008)
Research findings in current study provide a new insight into the fractured rock aquifers in the TMG area. Some of the results will have wide implications on the groundwater management and forms a solid basis the further ...
Factors associated with participation in physical activity among adults with diabete mellitus in Kigali, Rwanda
(2008)
The present study aimed to examine the demographic, social and health-related factors that are associated with levels of physical activity participation among adults with diabetes mellitus in Kigali, Rwanda.
Preferential flow modelling in a vadose zone using macro 5.0 – Cape flats porous sands and Mpumalanga highveld clays case studies
(2008)
The objectives of this study were: To review and understand flow and transport processes in unsaturated zones. In this study, particular emphasis is placed on understanding mechanisms that cause non-uniform (preferential) ...
