Graphol and vanadia-link zin doped lithium manganese silicate nanoarchitectonic platforms for supercapatteries
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Energy storage technologies are rapidly being developed due to the increased awareness of
global warming and growing reliance of society on renewable energy sources. Among various
electrochemical energy storage ...
Model theory of algebraically closed fields and the Ax-Grothendieck Theorem
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
We introduce the concept of an algebraically closed field with emphasis of the basic model-theoretic
results concerning the theory of algebraically closed fields. One of these nice results about algebraically
closed ...
The effects of various combinations of different Cdasses of anticancer drugs and tyrosine kinase inhibitors on the human MCF-7 and triple-negative MDA-MB 231 breast carcinoma cell lines
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Globally, breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women and it is predicted that in 2030 about 12 million deaths will occur with approximately 21.7 million new cases [2]. Genetic risk factors as well as race and ...

(University of Western Cape, 2020)
The study addressed the groundwater assessment and sustainable management of the coastal alluvial aquifers in Namib Desert, the Omaruru River Delta Aquifer (Omdel Aquifer) was used as a case study. Sustainable utilization ...
Design and implementation of a credible blockchain-based e-health records platform
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
With the development of information and network technologies, Electronic Health
Records (EHRs) management system has gained wide spread application in
managing medical records. One of the major challenges of EHRs is the ...
Gas sensing properties of Ceo2 nanostructures
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
The industrial safety requirements and environmental pollution have created a high demand to develop gas sensors to monitor combustible and toxic gases. As per specifications of World Health Organization (WHO) and Occupational ...
Development of palladium nickel/tin metal oxide catalysts on carbon nanotube supports for direct alcohol fuel cells
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Palladium can be used as an anodic catalyst for the alkaline direct alcohol fuel cells (ADAFCs). Palladium has displayed high tolerance towards carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and high catalytic activity for alcohol oxidation ...
Native legume species from the Northern Cape province of South Africa and their potential use as forage crops.
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
The lack of bioclimatically suitable forage species for livestock production in the water-limited agro-ecological areas of South Africa has resulted in significant feed shortages within these areas during the ongoing drought ...
Synthesis and evaluation of fluorescently linked polycyclic cage derivatives for application in neurodegenerative disorders
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Neurodegenerative diseases (ND) are chronic and progressive in nature, and
characterized by the gradual loss of neurons in various regions of the central
nervous system (CNS). ND include Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's ...
Measurements of edge uncolourability in cubic graphs
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
The history of the pursuit of uncolourable cubic graphs dates back more than a century.
This pursuit has evolved from the slow discovery of individual uncolourable
cubic graphs such as the famous Petersen graph and the ...
