The identification of novel biomarkers in response to pollutant exposure using proteome profiler arrays
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Nanotechnology is a rapidly expanding field with a multitude of practical uses namely textiles, cosmetics, agriculture, and health sciences. The focus, for the purposes of this thesis, will be on carbon dots. The small ...
Lifetime measurements of excited nuclei through modern nuclear spectroscopy
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
The progressive development of scintillator detectors has made it possible to perform direct electronic
lifetime determination up to a few hundred nanoseconds. The 2" by 2" LaBr3:Ce detectors
provide a combination of ...
Synthesis and characterisation of sulphonated polyethersulphone membrane materials
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
With current climate change, growing population, and rapid industrialization of developing countries, water is increasingly becoming a scare resource. Within a power plant, processes that consume most water are demineralized ...
Security related self-protected networks: autonomous threat detection and response (ATDR)
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Cybersecurity defense tools, techniques and methodologies are constantly faced with increasing
challenges including the evolution of highly intelligent and powerful new generation threats. The
main challenges posed by ...
Development of a challenger price sensitivity model to improve Santam's new business optimisation framework
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Lifetime measurements of excited nuclei through modern nuclear spectroscopy
(2021)
The progressive development of scintillator detectors has made it possible to perform direct electronic lifetime determination up to a few hundred nanoseconds. The 2” by 2” LaBr3:Ce detectors

Cheminformatic Approaches to Hit-Prioritization and Target Prediction of Potential Anti-MRSA Natural Products
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
The growing resistance of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to currently prescribed drugs has resulted in the failure of prevention and treatment of different infections caused by the superbug. Therefore, ...
Environmental modelling of wetland distribution in the Western Cape, South Africa: A climate change perspective
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Wetlands have been recognised as one of the most intrinsically valuable and
threatened ecosystems in the world. Global estimates indicate that wetlands are
being lost or transformed at a rapid rate, exacerbated by projected ...
Epiphytic diatom assemblages associated with South African kelps: Ecklonia maxima and Laminaria pallida
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Kelp forests are dynamic and productive ecosystems which host large biodiversity of sessile
fauna and flora, including diatoms. These microalgae occur at the base of coastal marine
food webs and contribute substantially ...
Effects of flood dynamics on island geomorphology in a large mixed bedrock-alluvial anabranching river: a case study of the Vaal River near Parys.
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Rare-infrequent magnitude floods of shorter duration events are significant natural hazards and play a key role in shaping river channel and island geomorphology. For a given river or channel, there is a relationship between ...
