A web-based biodiversity toolkit as a conservation management tool for natural fragments in an urban context
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)The collection of biological information has a long history, motivated by a variety of reasons and in more recent years is largely being driven for research and academic purposes. As a result biological information is often ... -

What constitutes morphological normal and abnormal human sperm heads
(University of the Western Cape, 1998)The percentage morphologically normal sperm appears to be of predictive value in the in vitro fertilization laboratory. However, the methodology used in this context is technically inaccurate and imprecise (subjective) and ... -
White Space Network Management: Spectrum Quanti cation, Spectrum Allocation and Network Design
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)The unused spectrum in the television broadcasting frequency bands (so-called TV white spaces) can alleviate the spectrum crunch, and have potential to provide broadband connection to rural areas of countries in the ... -
Work, women and welfare: a critical gendered analysis of social development with special reference to income generation projects in the transition period in South Africa (1994 – 2001)
(2013)Studies by feminists frequently investigate reasons why poverty reduction strategies involving income and work generation projects for poor women fail to deliver on set economic and social goals to provide jobs, income, ... -
Y-STR profiling of four South African populations using the University of the Western Cape 10 locus set
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)In this study the 10 Y-specific loci of the University of the Western Cape (DYS710, DYS518 385a/b, DYS644, DYS612, DYS626, DYS504, DYS447, DYS447, and DYS481) were analysed in 492 individuals from South African population ... -
A yeast 2-hybrid screen to identify and characterize interaction partners of the cancer associated protein retinoblastoma binding protein 6
(2009)Retinoblastoma binding protein 6 (RBBP6) is a 250 kDa protein that is implicated in mRNA processing and ubiquitination functions and has been shown to be highly up-regulated in a number of cancers. In humans and mice,RBBP6 ... -

Zeolite A, X and Cancrinite from South African coal fly ash: mechanism of crystallization, routes to rapid synthesis and new morphology
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)In South Africa, almost 90 % of the country’s electricity is generated from coal combustion. This reliance on coal for energy production is projected to continue in the near and medium term due to the increasing demand for ... -
Zeolite encapsulated metal complexes as heterogeneous catalysts for oxidation reactions
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)This study describes the synthesis and characterisation of Cu(II) and V(IV) complexes of tri- and quadridentate ligands L1 and L2 formed by condensation of ethylenediamine with acetylacetonate in 1:1 and 1:2 molar ratio, ... -

Zirconium-induced physiological and biochemical responses in two genotypes of Brassica napus L.
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)South Africa is one of two countries responsible for the production of approximately 80% of the world’s Zr. The increase in mining activity has detrimental effects on the environment, especially crop plants, as more ...
