Bioinformatics and polymerase chain reaction: Tools to determine the host specificity of Salmonella typhi murium
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
The nucleotide primer pair, Redl and Red2, was designed from the nucleotide
sequence obtained from the NCBI database (Fig. 2.1). This nucleotide sequence
encodes for the Salmonella typhimurium invasion gene D protein ...
Substituted nick el pyrazole and palladiumpyruzolyl complexes as catalyst precursors for ethylene polymeization
(University of the Western Cape, 2003)
This study concerns the synthesis of pyrazole and substituted pyrazole nickel
complexes of the type [(3,5-R,R',pz)2NiB rz ( Pz : pyrazole; R = R' = cHr (1), tBu
(a)l and of the type [(3,5-R,R'pz)aNiBrz R: H, R' : CHr ...
The determination of diffracted wave fields by an annulus according to Braunbek’s method
(University of the Western Cape, 1981)
In this thesis a short wave approximation, the method oI
W Braunbek, is used to determine the diffracted fields
(acoustic and electromagnetic) of plane harmonic waves by
an annular aperture.

Hydrothermal synthesis and optimisation of zeolite Na-Pl from South African coal fly ash
(University of Western Cape, 2009)
Millions of tonnes of fly ash are generated worldwide every year to satisfy the large demand for
energy. Management of this fly ash has been a concern and various approaches for its beneficial
use have been investigated. ...
The synthesis of methoxy-2-hydroxy-1,4- naphthoquinones and their reaction with aliphatic aldehydes under basic conditions.
(University of the Western Cape, 2003)
Although literature reports on the synthesis of variously substituted 2-hydroxy-1 ,4-
naphthoquinones appeared to be reasonable; in our hands difficulty was experienced
in duplicating much of the work.
In order to address ...
Hydro geochemical characteristics of the basement aquifers in namaqualand
(University of the Western Cape, 2003)
At the onset of this research programme it became apparent that there is a dearth of
research studies focusing on the groundwater resources of the region. As a result, a
conceptual representation of the hydrogeological ...
Thiolato schiff base complexes of nickel and palladium as mesogens and molecular wires
(University of the Western Cape, 2003)
Thermal analysis data of compounds A, C, F and I established that they were nonmesogenic
while E and G were found to be mesogenic. The lack of mesogenic behaviour
of A could be attributed to hydrogen bonding. The ...
Salt tolerance and modification of wheat salt resistance by plant hormones
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
The history of salt tolerance and the factors effecting salt resistance of plants were literature surveyed, and it was concluded that ion
concentration, salt accumulation, compatible solutes and the genetic traits play a ...
An investigation of the plants used medicinally In self-care in the Bredasdorp / Elim region
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
Much of the traditional medicinal plant knowledge is to a large extent known by the
older generations. This knowledge is at risk of disappearing due to not being passed
down to younger members of the respective families ...
Triterpene glycosides chemically defend the south african kelp bed sea cucumber, Pseudocnella insolens (echinodermata : holothu roidea), against predation.
(University of the Western Cape, 1997)
The small, subtidal sea cucumber, Pseudocnella insolens appears to have
no obvious protection from predation, yet it occurs in dense colonies covering rocky areas
and appears to have few predators. Laboratory-based feeding ...
