(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which is the cause of Acquired Immunodefiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a major global public health issue affecting over 37 million people worldwide and is responsible for claiming over 32 ...
The influence of canopy cover and cultivar on rates of water use in apple orchards in the Western Cape Province, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Water availability and climate related issues are some of the greatest crop production risks to irrigated agriculture in arid regions. In South Africa, for example, the increasing frequency and severity of droughts related ...
A mobile design of an emergency service system for deaf people
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
The importance of mobile technology in improving the quality of life is not restricted to only a Hearing person, and the use of mobile devices among Deaf people is no longer limited, due to the advancements in technology ...
Paediatric non-alcoholic fatty pancreas disease and aortic intimal medial thickness: A study identifying potential fatty infiltration of the pancreas and its association with aortic IMT in children exposed to teratogens during pregnancy
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
The incidence of non-communicable diseases is increasing worldwide, with South Africa being no exception. Non-communicable diseases are classified as non-infectious and are often referred to as lifestyle diseases as they ...
Biochemical characterization of β-xylosidase and β-glucosidase isolated from a thermophilic horse manure metagenomic library
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
The complete degradation of recalcitrant lignocellulose biomass into value-added products requires the efficient and synergistic action of lignocellulose degrading enzymes. This has resulted in a need for the discovery of ...
Ecology and diet of the caracal (Caracal caracal) on lethal and non-lethal control farms in the Karoo
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Human-wildlife conflict is an ongoing issue worldwide. Within South Africa, human-carnivore conflict (HCC) as a result of carnivore depredation on small-livestock causes large-scale losses, and promotes the use of predator ...
Cell culture biomarkers for monitoring of wastewater pollutants
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Wastewater is normally composed of a mixture of pollutants. The type and composition of pollutants in a particular wastewater depend on the source of origin. The source and characteristics of a particular wastewater determine ...
Predictors of design and adoption of collaborative elearning environments: a multi-method analysis
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Research has shown that collaborative eLearning can provide educational opportunities to groups of learners; both distance learners as well as traditional campus-based learners. It provides innovative educational methods ...
Isolation and characterisation of leaf endophytic bacteria from weed plants for enhancing salinity stress tolerance in Brassica napus
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
In an ever changing environment, plants are constantly challenged by various abiotic stresses such as salinity, which limits global crop production. This directly affects food availability for the global population, which ...
A relativistic analysis of proton-induced knockout reactions from oxygen isotopes with direct and inverse kinematics.
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
In this study a complete set of exclusive (~p; 2p) polarization transfer observables of closed-shell oxygen
isotopes are calculated using both direct and inverse kinematics using the relativistic plane wave impulse
