A multi-wavelength study of powerful high redshift radio galaxies
(2021)
We present a new sample of distant powerful radio galaxies, in order to study their
host-galaxy properties and provide targets for future observations of Hi absorption
with new radio telescopes. We cross-match the Sydney ...
An investigation into combined amorphous form of sufadoxine, pyrimethamine and azithromycin
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Malaria remains one of the top mortality causes in the sub-Saharan African region, especially
among pregnant women and infants. Despite several measures being implemented within the
affected areas such as the use of ...
New collective structures in the Z=76 stable odd neutron nucleus, 187Os
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Low- and medium-spin bands of 187Os have been studied using the AFRODITE array,
following the 186W(4He,3n)187Os reaction at a beam energy of 37 MeV. The measurements
of
coincidences, angular distribution ratios ...
Multispectral remote sensing of vegetation responses to groundwater variability in the greater floristic region of the Western Cape, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Groundwater dependent vegetation (GDV) communities are increasingly threatened by the transformation of the natural environment to different land use/land cover, over-exploitation of groundwater resources and the proliferation ...
Investigating hypoglycaemic effects and safety of the herbal Product – JT2016 in vivo study
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Diabetes has since been a global epidemic; an estimated 5.0 million deaths of diabetes in the world
have been recorded; one in 11 adults have diabetes (415 million); and by 2040, one adult in 10 (642
million) will have ...
Investigating the Perception of the Influence of Pharmaceutical Marketing on Pharmacists and Doctors Dispensing and Prescribing Practices.
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Pharmaceutical marketing via a wide range of promotional tools to doctors and pharmacists is
one of the primary methods used by the pharmaceutical industry to drive product sales.
Pharmaceutical representatives are the ...
Dehydrogenation of alkanes using sulfided metal catalysts
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Light olefins are some of the main raw materials for the petrochemical industry. With the rise in oil prices and increasing demand for olefins, there is an increasing interest in finding cheaper alternatives for processes ...

Determination of paracetamol at the electrochemically reduced graphene oxide-metal nanocomposite modified pencil graphite (ERGO-MC-PGE) electrode using adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetry
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
This project focuses on the development of simple, highly sensitive, accurate, and low cost electrochemical sensors based on the modification of pencil graphite electrodes by the electrochemical reduction of graphene ...
Synthesis of binary and ternary Pd-based Nanocatalysts for alcohol oxidation in alkaline media for fuel cell application
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
This study explores the use of UV-assisted reduction method to synthesise the catalysts, aiming at reducing synthesis time. The Pd and Au catalyst loading is kept at 5 wt% in order to reduce the cost associated with high ...
