Development of nanobiosensors for phenolic endocrine disrupting compounds and anti- tuberculosis drugs
(2013)
Tuberculosis still remains one of the world’s killer diseases. Pyrazinamide (PZA) is one of
the most commonly prescribed anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drugs due to its ability to
significantly shorten the TB treatment ...
Ideologies and discourses underpinning paradigms of small-scale farmer development: a critical analysis of state and non-governmental extension support programmes in uPhongolo, KwaZulu-Natal
(2013)
As a means to reduce poverty particularly in rural areas, the South African government has placed great emphasis on the development of small-scale farmers into becoming commercial farmers. Central to this effort is the ...
NON-INVASIVE CHARACTERIZATION OF UNSATURATED ZONE TRANSPORT IN DRY COAL ASH DUMPS: A CASE STUDY OF TUTUKA, SOUTH AFRICA
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
The management of the large volumes of solid wastes produced as coal combustion
residue is of particular concern due to the presence of leachable metals and salts which
may constitute a long term environmental risk and ...
Reservoir heterogeneity of the sandstone reservoirs within the Pletmos basin, block11a, offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
This study is aimed at illustrating the reservoir heterogeneity in the BCII - BCI interval of the Ga-field, offshore South Africa. This was achieved by generating a conceptual static model as a predictive tool for the BCII ...
Petrophysical evaluation of the albian age gas bearing sandstone reservoirs of the o-m field, orange basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
Petrophysical evaluation of the Albian age gas bearing sandstone reservoirs of the O-M field, Offshore South Africa has been performed. The main goal of the thesis is to evaluate the reservoir potentials of the field through ...
The role of salt tectonics in the hydrocarbon potential of the post-salt deposits (Albian to Recent), offshore Gabon
(University of Western Cape, 2014)
Following successful discovery and production of hydrocarbons, Gabon is one of the key hydrocarbon target countries in Africa. Located in the Lower Congo Basin, the study area is based in Etame Marin Permit (EMP), which ...
Infiltration, runoff and particle mobilization on canola fields at langgewens experimental farm, Mooreesburg, Western Cape
(2013)
The primary origin of this project is due to a high demand for freshwater supply in the Berg Water Management Area (WMA). Most of the Berg WMA`s freshwater supply does not live up to the high ecological standards. This is ...
Assessment of groundwater management for domestic use from IWRM perspective in upper Limphasa river catchment, Malawi
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
The research problem for this study is the limited and unsuccessful implementation of the IWRM concept. This thesis has argued that comprehensive assessment of physical and socioeconomic conditions is essential to provide ...
Pore pressure prediction and direct hydrocarbon indicator: insight from the southern pletmos basin, offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
An accurate prediction of pore pressure is an essential in reducing the risk involved in a well or field life cycle. This has formed an integral part of routine work for exploration, development and exploitation team in ...
Protein phosphatase biosensor for the detection of cyanotoxins associated with algal bloom
(2013)
The toxicity of microcystin is associated with the inhibition of serine/threonine protein phosphatases 1 and 2A, which can lead to hepatocyte necrosis and haemorrhage. Analysis of microcystin is most commonly carried out ...
