The role of surface modified TiO2 nanoparticles for application in 68Ge/68Ga generator systems and the use of molecular imprinted polymers for 68Ge breakthrough control
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has potential as an adsorbent within the 68Ge/68Ga generator context. To function effectively, three basic requirements are required: optimum 68Ga elution efficiency, stability and removal of the ...
Pharmacological characterization and chemo-informatics analysis of compounds from leonotis leonurus
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
The central nervous system (CNS), consisting of the brain and the spinal cord, is responsible for
integrating sensory information and influencing most bodily functions . The CNS is protected from
toxic and pathogenic ...
Polypyrrole supports for direct alcohol fuel cells.
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Anode catalysts are one of the key components of direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFCs). They play a huge role in the alcohol oxidation reaction (AOR) that occurs on the anode side. Palladium (Pd) supported on carbon material ...
Geo-physical parameter forecasting on imagery{based data sets using machine learning techniques
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
This research objectively investigates the e ectiveness of machine learning (ML) tools
towards predicting several geo-physical parameters. This is based on a large number
of studies that have reported high levels of ...
Comparison of multi-gene integration strategies in CRISPR-based transformation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an important host in industrial biotechnology. This yeast is the host of choice for the first and second-generation biofuels for ethanol production. Genome modification in S. cerevisiae has been ...
Situation analysis study on nanomedicines regulation and assessment practices in Zazibona active countries
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Nanomedicines are loosely defined as medicines that seek to apply nanotechnology. Currently,
nanomedicines are available for clinical use, including treatments for cancer, high cholesterol,
hepatitis, COVID-19 vaccination, ...
Investigating the role of groundwater - surface water connectivity in supporting non-perennial river systems, Sandveld, Western Cape, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Non-perennial rivers are characterised by a discontinuous and variable hydrological flow regime which may retreat to form isolated pools along the watercourse during prolonged dry periods. The resulting spatio-temporal ...
Isothermal and non-isothermal comparative study of zn-sn system using real-time rbs
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Insight into the effects of isothermal and non-isothermal annealing on bi-metallic thin film is
important for material synthesis and application in everyday use. The effects of isothermal
annealing on bi-metallic thin ...
Secondary metabolites of the uromycladium tepperianum macalpine epiphytic fungus
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Research on natural products and medicinal plants has been conducted more with each passing year due to the great interest in isolating bioactive compounds and secondary metabolites from natural products such as plants, ...
Structure-Based Virtual Screening of Selected Malaria Box Compounds Against a Multi-Staged Protein (Falstatin) in Plasmodium falciparum
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Malaria disease poses substantial health risks to many nations, especially in Africa, where it primarily affects pregnant women, children, and immunocompromised patients. However, current antimalarial drugs have limitations ...
