Bioactive actinobacteria associated with two South African medicinal plants, Aloe ferox and Sutherlandia frutescens
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Actinobacteria, a Gram-positive phylum of bacteria found in both terrestrial and aquatic environments, are well-known producers of antibiotics and other bioactive compounds. The isolation of actinobacteria from unique ...
Molecular dynamic simulation studies of the South African HIV-1 Integrase subtype C protein to understand the structural impact of naturally occurring polymorphisms
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
The viral Integrase (IN) protein is an essential enzyme of all known retroviruses, including HIV-1. It is responsible for the insertion of viral DNA into the human genome. It is known that HIV-1 is highly diverse with a ...
Hybrid lead halide perovskite thin films and solar cells by chemical vapour deposition
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
The organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites such as methyl ammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) or mixed halide MAPbI3-xClx (x is usually very small) have emerged as an interesting class of semiconductor materials for their application ...

Security related self-protected networks: Autonomous threat detection and response (ATDR)
(University of 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 ...
Investigation of socio-demographic, clinical and genetic factors associated with blood pressure and glycaemic control among indigenous South African adult patients
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Achieving blood pressure and glycaemic treatment targets remain a major public health challenge in individuals with hypertension and diabetes mellitus (DM). This research project was, therefore, designed to investigate the ...
Optimization of lead halide perovskite thin films by chemical vapour deposition
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Perovskite solar cells have gained tremendous attention within the past
decade, due to its rapid improvement in power conversion e ciency (PCE),
with the current record cell at 25%. The aim of this study is to create ...
