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 ...

Characterization of flowpaths to improve the prediction of vegetation impacts on hydrological processes in semi-arid mountainous catchments of the Cape Fold Belt
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Mountainous areas are important water sources in many landscapes. An understanding of
how mountainous catchments function is important particularly in semi-arid areas, where
water shortages are prevalent. In addition to ...
Application of anomaly detection techniques to astrophysical transients
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
We are fast moving into an era where data will be the primary driving factor for discovering new
unknown astronomical objects and also improving our understanding of the current rare astronomical
objects. Wide field ...
Microwave synthesis of the Schiff base metal-ligand complexes with Cu and Ni centres
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Nitric oxide (NO) plays a vital role as a biological messenger in biological systems. However, NO detection and quantification have always posed significant complications. There is, therefore, a need to develop new materials ...
Effects of acid concentration on the extraction of rare earth elements from South African Coal Fly Ash
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Coal is seen as a reliable and secure energy source in many countries around the world despite the development of a number of alternative sources of energy. A rise in global energy demand has led to an increase in coal ...
