(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Background and Aims Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) type 1 group M subtype C (HIV-1C) accounts for nearly half of global HIV-1 infections, with South Africa (SA) being one of the countries with the highest infection ...
CIMT and cardiovascular risk in five-year-old children in a low socioeconomic population exposed to alcohol and nicotine during pregnancy: a case-control study
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are among the top 10 causes of death in all ages in South Africa. The prevalence of maternal smoking and alcohol consumption during pregnancy is alarmingly high in South Africa. In utero ...
Efficient Variable Mesh Techniques to solve Interior Layer Problems
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Singularly perturbed problems have been studied extensively over the past
few years from different perspectives. The recent research has focussed on the
problems whose solutions possess interior layers. These interior ...
The fate and transport of carbon-based nanomaterials in the environment
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
The interest in carbon-based nanomaterials, such as carbon-nanodots and graphene, has grown exponentially because these materials have unique properties and applications in the medical, electronic, clean energy and several ...
