In vitro investigation of putative interactions between the RING finger domain of Retinoblastoma Binding Protein 6 (RBBP6) and various substrates
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
Retinoblastoma Binding Protein 6 (RBBP6) is a RING finger-containing protein which plays a critical role in the 3'-end processing of mRNA transcripts. It is a constituent of the human pre-mRNA processing complex but also ...
The Effects of Cadmium and Lead on Phaseolus vulgaris
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
The demand for better quality produce by consumers is on the increase, as higher heavy metal concentrations pose a problem in agriculture. They result in decreased yield and unsuitable food for human consumption. This ...
Development of an actinobacteria based in vitro transcription and translation systems
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
Heterologous metagenomic screening strategies have relied largely on the construction of DNA libraries and screening in Escherichia coli to access novel enzymes. There is an increased demand for the identification of novel ...
Vegetable farms in Cape Town: water quality and possible remediation techniques
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
Heavy metal contamination tends to be a problem in inner city agricultural areas and gardens. High levels of certain heavy metals have been found in the soil and vegetables in the Cape Town Metropolitan area. The aim of ...
A microbiological and molecular study of campylobacter and related species isolated from ostriches (Struthio camelus)
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
Campylobacter and related Epsilonproteobacteria (Arcobacter and Helicobacter) are currently viewed as emerging pathogens and are able to cause gastroenteritis, bacteraemia, the Guillain-Barré syndrome, reactive arthritis ...
Automorphism groups of some designs of steiner triple systems and the atomorphism groups of their block intersection graphs
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
A Steiner triple system of order v is a collection of subsets of size three
from a set of v-elements such that every pair of the elements of the set is
contained in exactly one 3-subset. In this study, we discuss some ...
Efficient Monte Carlo methods for pricing of electricity derivatives
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
We discuss efficient Monte Carlo methods for pricing of electricity derivatives. Electricity derivatives are risk management tools used in deregulated electricity markets. In the past,research in electricity derivatives ...

This research undertakes to investigate both long-term and short-term investor overreaction on the JSE Limited (JSE) over the period from 1 January 2002 to 31 December 2009. The period covers the restructuring and reform ...
Performance estimation of wireless networks using traffic generation and monitoring on a mobile device.
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)
In this study, a traffic generator software package namely MTGawn was developed to run packet generation and evaluation on a mobile device. The call generating software system is able to: simulate voice over Internet ...
Formation evaluation of deep-water reservoirs in the 13A and 14A sequences of the Central Bredasdorp Basin, offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)
The goal of this study is to enhance the evaluation of subsurface reservoirs by improving the prediction of petrophysical parameters through the integration of wireline logs and core measurements. Formation evaluations of ...
