Challenges of postgraduate students at the University of the Western Cape 2009 - 2013
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
In South Africa, postgraduate education is a catalyst in national development and poverty alleviation that is widely acknowledged by the state and higher education institutions, such as the University of the Western Cape ...
A large-scale clustering analysis of radio galaxies
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
The distribution of the visible structure in the Universe is in part dependent on the
in
uence of the dark matter structure. Measurements of large-scale structure can
therefore be related to the dark matter distribution ...
Development and validation of a pharmacogenomics profiling panel suitable for personalizing Metformin therapy
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
The burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in South Africa is predicted to increase substantially in the next decades if the necessary preventative measures are not taken. The two most common NCDs associated with rapid ...
Discovery of anti-mycobacterial natural products from South African marine algae
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Tuberculosis is a communicable disease which affects millions of people around the world.
Although the case reports are declining, the eradication rate of this disease is far too slow.
Natural products have played a key ...
A study of SiC thin film layers for electrically conductive diffusion barrier application in Si thin film solar cells.
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Semiconductor silicon carbide (SiC) thin films of different thicknesses were deposited by
electron beam physical vapour deposition (EBPVD) for application as diffusion barrier
application to guard against metal contaminants ...
Review of medicine registration system in Tanzania
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Registration of medicines is an essential function of the national medicine regulatory system
of any country. Since the start of the medicine registration system in Tanzania in early 2000s,
no systematic review has been ...
Identification and characterisation of sorghum bicolor heme oxygenase-1 (sbho1) gene and its role in conferring biotic and abiotic stress tolerance to plants
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Biotic and abiotic stresses such as herbivore attack, pathogen infection, salinity, drought, cold,
heat and UV radiation, are unfavourable conditions that affect plant growth and productivity
globally (Fedoroff et al., ...
Electro-Luminescent and Photovoltaic Responses of poly (propylene imine) dendritic CuInSe2 (CIS) Quantum Dots
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
The development of renewable energy has attracted more attention due to the increasingly serious energy and environmental crisis in the world nowadays. Second generation photovoltaics based on thin films of binary semiconductor ...
Biogenic synthesis of gold nanoparticles using red and green pear fruit extracts
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
There has been a growing interest in the design of biocompatible and environmentally affable nanoparticles (NPs) among scientists to develop novel and safe biomaterials for use in various biomedical applications. This can ...
p- and e- type Semiconductor layers optimization for efficient perovskite photovoltaics
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Perovskite solar cells have attracted a tremendous amount of research interest in the
scientific community recently, owing to their remarkable performance reaching up to 22%
power conversion efficiency (PCE) in merely 6 ...
