A comparative evaluation of 3d and spatio-temporal deep learning techniques for crime classification and prediction
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
This research is on a comparative evaluation of 3D and spatio-temporal deep learning
methods for crime classification and prediction using the Chicago crime dataset, which
has 7.29 million records, collected from 2001 ...
Construction and analysis of exponential time differencing methods for the robust simulation of ecological models
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
In this thesis, we consider some interesting mathematical models arising in
ecology. Our focus is on the exploration of robust numerical solvers which are
applicable to models arising in mathematical ecology. To begin ...
Graphene modified Salen ligands for the electrochemical determination of heavy metal ions
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Environmental pollution is a major threat to all life, which needs to be addressed. Heavy metals are well-known environmental pollutants due to their toxicity and, persistence in the environment toxicity for living organisms ...
Analysis and simulation of nonlinear option pricing problems
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
We present the Black-Scholes Merton partial differential equation (BSMPDE) and its
analytical solution. We present the Black-Scholes option pricing model and list some
limitations of this model. We also present a nonlinear ...
Risk based approach of post- approval changes in central America and Dominican republic, identifying opportunities for convergence with EMA and FDA
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
In Central American countries (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua,
Costa Rica and Panama) and Dominican Republic (DR) the approval timelines for major changes
are described ranging from 12 to 18 months, these ...
A study of the nearby interacting galaxy pair NGC 1512/1510
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
This work focuses on generating a new dynamical model of the nearby (9.5 Mpc) interacting
galaxy system NGC 1512/1510. Neutral hydrogen (H i ) observations from the Australia
Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) are used to ...
A survey on external (Ixodidae) and gastrointestinal parasites of small ruminants on an arid communal rangeland in South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Parasites pose a major constraint on livestock farming. Its impacts are represented as transmission of disease to humans and economic costs for prevention and treatment as well as loss in terms of; livestock mortality and, ...
Provenance and depositional environments of early Cretaceous sediments in the Bredasdorp sub-basin, offshore South Africa: An integrated approach
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Southern offshore basins of South Africa are well known as potential provinces of hydrocarbon exploration and production. The complex nature of the Bredasdorp sub-basin’s syn-rift architecture (transform fault system) can ...
Aluminium and gold functionalized graphene quantum dots as electron acceptors for inverted Schottky junction type rainbow solar cells
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
The main aim of this study was to prepare band gap-engineered graphene quantum dot (GQD) structures which match the different energies of the visible region in the solar spectrum. These band gap-engineered graphene quantum ...
Graphene based materials for carbon capture
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
The adverse effects of CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere is
believed to be one of the causes of climate change. The seriousness of global warming
is encouraging the development of technologies designed ...
