Development of nanostructured electrocatalysts using electrochemical atomic layer deposition technique for the direct liquid fuel cells By
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
The depletion of fossil fuel resources such as coal and the concern of climatic change arising from the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) and global warming [1] lead to the identification of the 'hydrogen economy' as one ...
The effects of real exchange rate misalignment on exports in South Africa.
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate econometrically the effects of real exchange rate misalignment on South African exports between the period 1994 and 2015 using quarterly time-series data. Cointegration tests were ...
The petrogenesis of the intermediate to mafic rocks of the yzerfontein subsuite, and their relationship to-, and paragenesis of hydrothermal veining, cape granite suite, saldania belt, south africa
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
The 535 Ma post-orogenic Yzerfontein Pluton is a composite pluton that comprises rocks of mafic, intermediate and felsic compositions belonging to the shoshonitic series. The Yzerfontein Pluton forms part of the Cape Granite ...
Understanding Striga occurrence and risk under changing climatic conditions across different agroecological farming systems at local and regional scales122
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
The invasion by Striga in most cereal crop fields in Africa has posed an acute threat to food security and socioeconomic integrity. Consequently, numerous technological and research developments have been made to minimize ...
Spatial modelling of invasive species distribution in water-limited environments using remotely sensed data and climatic scenarios in the Heuningnes catchment, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
The occurrence and spread of Invasive Alien Plants (IAPs) is a threat to global water resources and natural ecosystems due to high water use rates. With the current climate change projections and their ability to survive ...
Retrospective descriptive evaluation of empiric carbapenem-sparing regimens versus carbapenem use in non-intensive care patients at a district hospital in South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Antimicrobial resistance is a global concern associated with increased morbidity and mortality. It has been estimated that, by 2050, the continuous escalation of antimicrobial resistance, globally, will result in more ...
Evaluation of agronomic and drought response traits in two cultivars of soybean for cultivation in the Transkei region of the Eastern Cape
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Drought is a major stress that affects the productivity of plants across the globe. The consequences of drought are posed to continue reducing agricultural productivity as world climate changes. This makes it imperative ...
Novel aromatic dendritic-co-poly(3-hexylthiophene) composites for photovoltaic cell application
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Fossil fuels are part of fuels that are formed from natural processes and they are called non-renewable sources of energy. These include natural gas, coal and oil. They have been used for decades to produce energy globally. ...
Marine invertebrate sperm: Assessment of sperm quality using computer-aided sperm analysis
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Isothermal and non-isothermal comparative study of Zn-sn system using real-time RBS
(2021)
Solid-state reactions of bi-metallic systems can be driven or activated by various external
stimuli like pressure, energetic photons, energetic charged particles or heat. For an example,
high pressure torsion can be ...
