The influence of maternal nicotine exposure on neonatal rat lung septal status
(University of the Western Cape, 1995)
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of maternal nicotine exposure on the status of rat lung alveolar septa of 1 to 2l day old offspring. Wistar dams were injected subcutaneously, using a dosage of 1 mg ...
An approach to acquifer test pumping in fractured crystalline aquifers with a case study in Namaqualand
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
Water resources in South Africa are being stressed. Due to this concern more emphasis should be placed on determining where we can improve our existing methods for the calculation of sustainable yield. Current approaches ...
The relationship between "fertilizaiton environment" and structure and physiology of selected Anuran Spermatozoa
(University of the Western Cape, 1993)
The propagation of species and modes of fertilization of higher vertebrates are aspects which have been extensively researched. Studies on the spermatology of lower vertebrates have not received the same attention. Anurans ...
Modeling the effects of environmental and ecological processes on the transport, mortality, growth, and distribution of early stages of cape anchovy (engra ulis encrasicolus) in the Benguela system
(University of the Western Cape, 2003)
An individual based modeling approach was used to study environmental factors and processes influencing the early life history of anchovy in the southern Benguela region and on the Agulhas Bank. The intention was to then ...
The antioxidant properties of melatonin during chemical hypoxia and reoxygenation injury in rat ventricular myocytes
(University of the Western Cape, 2000)
It is well known that ischaemia chemical hypoxia followed by reperfusion is not always accompanied by recovery of myocardial function and often produces further cell damage (Hearse et al., 1973). This phenomenon commonly ...
Isolation and Partial Characterization Serine Protease Inhibitors from Triticum aestivum cv' Witwol
(University of the Western Cape, 2001)
Plant diseases and plant pests are major constraints to plant growth and development, resulting in severe crop losses annually. Plant pathogens can be a variety of things, living and non-living. Non-living pathogens exist ...
Calibration of germanium detectors for applications of radiometric methods in South Africa.
(University of the Western Cape, 2001)
AII materials that are radioactive emit characteristic gamma-radiation. Natural radioactivity
can be used in heavy minerals exploration and processing, as well as in understanding
sediment transport. processes in coastal ...
The synthesis of analogues of the Anti-TB (agent: Diospyrin)
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
Diospyrin, a bisnaphthyl quinone molecule with proven anti-TB activity can be retrosynthetically formulated into two halves. In this work, the analogue chosen to be synthesized was similarly retrosynthesized into two halves. ...
Maximal left ideals and idealizers in matrix rings
(University of the Western Cape, 1984)
In this chapter we supply all the necessary definitions as well as the required results needed in this work. All the notation and terminology will also be explained carefully. §1 DEFINITIONS AND NOTATION R will always ...
Isolation and identification of PNP-A homologues from Xerophyta viscosa Baker
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
Maintenance of growth, development and normal physiological processes remains crucial
for the survival of plants. Plant hormones are described as integrators of external signal
and internal developmental process in plants. ...
