(University of the Western Cape, 2020)Medicines registration decision-making and regulatory best practice involve transparent and consistent rule making and processes with publicly available published assessment decisions and reports (Kaine, 2020). Publication ... -
Transport and fate of chemical and microbial tracers at University of Western Cape (UWC) campus site, Cape Flats aquifer of South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)Extreme weather events in combination with geographical changes in groundwater utilization, groundwater availability, aquifer recharge, and ultimately changes in the quality of water resources, are expected in the future. ... -
Transport and thermodynamic properties of rare earth compounds and alloys
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)Rare-earth (RE) elements possess an incompletely lled 4f shell, which is very small compared to typical interatomic distances. As a result of this, RE elements and compounds exhibit characteristic properties, which deviate ... -
Transport modelling in the Cape Town Metropolitan Area
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)The use of MEPLAN by the Metropolitan Transport Planning Branch of the Cape Town City Council since 1984 was not successful due to apartheid anomalies. EMME/2 was then introduced in 1991 in replacement of MEPLAN. In this ... -
Treatment of brines using commercial zeolites and zeolites synthesized from fly ash derivative
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)The objectives of this project was to ameroliate two waste materials, namely Acid Mine Drainage and Fly Ash and recover the solid residues for conversion into an adsorbent to treat brine. The solid residues were then ... -
Treatment of brines using commercial zeolites and zeolites synthesized from fly ash derivative
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)South Africa is one of the countries that have scarce natural resources that they have to preserve what is available at their disposal. South Africa is also fast becoming one of the countries with major industrial development. ... -
Treatment of persistent organic pollutants in wastewater with combined advanced oxidation
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are very tenacious wastewater contaminants with negative impact on the ecosystem. The two major sources of POPs are wastewater from textile industries and pharmaceutical industries. ... -
Treatment outcomes in patients infected with multidrug resistant tuberculosis and in patients with multidrug resistant tuberculosis coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus at Brewelskloof Hospital
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)Many studies have reported low cure rates for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDRTB) patients and MDR-TB patients co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, little is known about the effect of HIV ... -
Trends and determinants of contraceptive prevalence in Namibia: from the 90s to the new millenium
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)Contraception is said to be one of the vital determinants of fertility (Bongaarts, 1978). African nations, especially those in sub-Saharan Africa have a history of high fertility levels and low contraceptive use. However, ... -
Triaxiality and rotational bands in 133ce
(University of Western Cape, 2021)The neutron-de cient nuclei between the N = 50 and N = 82 shell closures provide rich information on the shape and structure of the nucleus. The isotones of 133Ce and 131Ba (N = 75) lie in this region of the nuclear ... -
Triterpene glycosides chemically defend the south african kelp bed sea cucumber, Pseudocnella insolens (echinodermata : holothu roidea), against predation.
(University of the Western Cape, 1997)The small, subtidal sea cucumber, Pseudocnella insolens appears to have no obvious protection from predation, yet it occurs in dense colonies covering rocky areas and appears to have few predators. Laboratory-based feeding ... -
Tumour specific targeted in vitro theranostics application of fabricated nanostructures in a multi-drug resistant ovarian carcinoma cell line
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)Ovarian cancer is called the “Silent Killer” as it is often diagnosed in advanced stages of the disease or misdiagnosed which ends with a poor prognostic outcome for the patient. A high rate of disease relapse, a high ... -
Tumour suppression and subdual of cancer (tussc) in elephants: An in vitro study to shed light on Peto’s paradox
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)Logic would suggest that cancer incidence is related to body mass and longevity. Gigantic animals such as elephants with a longer lifespan (more lifetime of cell divisions) and a larger body size (more cells) will have ... -
Tungsten Telluride Quantum dot-based Biosensor for Alpha-Methylacyl CoA Racemase – An Emerging Prostate Cancer Biomarker
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)Prostate cancer, commonly referred to as adenocarcinoma of the prostate, is the leading cause of cancer death in men in 46 countries, and it was estimated that by the end of 2018 there would approximately be 1.3 million ... -
Typha capensis—An electron rich resource for the synthesis of phytochemical-encapsulated gold nanoparticles through green nanotechnology
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)Typha capensis (T. capensis), commonly known as bulrush, is a medicinal plant found growing in the wetland areas of South Africa. In traditional medicine, rhizome decoctions of T. capensis are used to treat a wide variety ... -
Tyrosol production of Candida species by plant extracts used for skin treatment remedies
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)The fungal genus Candida is a collection of approximately 150 asporogenous yeast species which are able to cause life-threatening diseases when the normal host defences have been compromised. The most commonly isolated ... -
Ultrafilters and Compactification
(UWC, 2020)In this thesis, we construct the ultrafilter space of a topological space using ultrafilters as points, study some of its properties and describe a method of generating compactifications through the ultrafilter space. As ... -
Understanding mangrove dynamics in range edge populations in South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)Mangrove distribution along the East African region occurs from Somalia to South Africa, including Madagascar and other islands. It comprises approximately 10 species, including Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh, Bruguiera ... -
Understanding spatial patterns of dispersal and deposition of fine sediment and adsorbed phosphates in the Wiesdrift Wetland on the Nuwejaars River, Cape Agulhas
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)River catchments in agricultural areas are strongly influenced by runoff from cultivated or grazed fields, and nutrient loading of these fields can result in large quantities of nitrates and phosphates being transported ... -
