A number of dental age estimation methods have been developed over the years
ranging from the frequently used age estimation of Demirjian et al (1973) and
Moorrees et al (1965) to the less frequently used age estimation ...
Mesh Free Methods for Differential Models In Financial Mathematics
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
Many problems in financial world are being modeled by means of differential equation. These problems are time dependent, highly nonlinear, stochastic and heavily depend on the previous history of time. A variety of financial ...
Synthesis and characterization of micro- and mesoporous materials for low temperature selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)
In summary, it has been shown during this study that bimetallic Fe and Mn containing catalysts can be prepared by wet impregnation and not by ion exchange because of the competition between two different metals at different ...
