(University of the Western Cape, 2000)
Reactions of M(dppf)Cl2 (M : Pd, Pt) and Pd(dippf)Cl2 with equimolar amounts of the aryldichalcogen reagents, 1,2-benzenedithiol (1,2-(HS)C6H4(SH) (a)), 3,4-toluenedithiol ((HS)C6H3Me(SH)) (b), 3,6-dichloro 1,2-benzenedithiol ...
Vegetation relationships of priority conservation sites on the Cape flats
(University of the Western Cape, 1992)
The physical environment of the cape Frats is outlined. The plant communities of twenty-one priority conservation sites are classified. Twenty-five communities, grouped into 15 associations, 8 alliances, 4 orders, 2 ...
Reconstruction of major male and female lineages of the Strand Muslim community
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
Initially, a pilot study was carried out in order to reconstruct the major paternal and maternal lineages of the Muslim population living in the Cape metropolitan area. The Study has shown the ability of molecular genetic ...
Identification and partial characterisation of a putative novel plant stress response gene from Arabidopsis thaliana.
(University of the Western Cape, 2000)
Exposure of plants to stress results in the expression of plant genes whose products play a role in defence responses against the stress. Stress stimuli to which plants may be exposed are wounding, drought, salinity, ...

unsaturated hydrocarbons. In catalyzn11g the ...
Specias delimitation and assessment of genetic variability in Carpobrotus (Alzoaceae): evidence from amplified fragment length polymorphisms
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
Species of Carpobrotus (Aizoaceae: Ruschioideae) are widely spread throughout South Africa and are commonly used for their medicinal properties. The genus consists of 13 species of which seven occur in South Africa, five ...
Search for tetrahedral bands in yb isotopes
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
Calculations by Dudek et al. predict shell gaps for tetrahedrally shaped nuclei at various proton and neutron numbers. 160Yb is expected to be a favourable nucleus, with tetrahedral bands predicted to lie 1 MeV above the ...
