Perceptions of water scarcity: the case of Genadendal and outstations
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)The water resources management regime has shifted from one focusing almost exclusively on augmenting supply to one where ensuring access, equity and sustainability are an integral part of the process. A growing demand for ... -
Performance estimation of wireless networks using traffic generation and monitoring on a mobile device.
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)In this study, a traffic generator software package namely MTGawn was developed to run packet generation and evaluation on a mobile device. The call generating software system is able to: simulate voice over Internet ... -
Perturbations of dark energy models
(University of Western Cape, 2012)The growth of structure in the Universe proceeds via the collapse of dark matter and baryons. This process is retarded by dark energy which drives an accelerated expansion of the late Universe. In this thesis we use ... -
