Computing Mislin genera of certain groups with non-abelian torsion radicals
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
In this mini-thesis we present some generalities of non-cancellation and localization
and we compute non-cancellation groups. We consider groups belonging to the class
X0 of all finitely generated groups that have finite ...
Pyrazolyl palladium complexes with heterocyclic carbonyl linkers as catalyst precursors for ethylene and phenylacetylene polymerization.
(University of the Western Cape, 2003)
The pyrazolyl ligands 2,6-bis(3,5-r2p*azolylcarbonyl)pyridine {r : 'bu (l1), me (l2)),2,6-bis(3-methylpyrazolylcarbonyl)pyridine(l3)'2'6- bis(pyrazolylcarbonyl)pyridine (l4) and 2,5-bis(3,5-rzpyrazolylcarbonyl)thiophene { ...
Computational analyses on transcriptional regulation in mammals
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
The genomes of various organisms have been sequenced and their transcriptome elucidated. With the information about genes and gene products readily available it has become of the utmost importance to decipher the underlying ...
The influence of maternal nicotine exposure on development lung as gas exchanger: the protective effect of copper
(University of the Western Cape, 1998)
The influence of tobacco smoking on the developing fetus is well reported. Maternal nicotine exposure during pregnancy and lactation interferes with fetal and neonatal lung growth and development, rendering the lungs more ...
The identification of potential groundwater zones in the Kamiesberg region, Northern Cape province, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2003)
The aim of the study is to apply remote sensing techniques to identify potential groundwater resources for the Kamiesberg region. This region, with vast water shortages relies solely on groundwater and is characterized by ...
Assessing the high-risk behaviour of first year students entering the University of the Western Cape
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
Globally, new HIV infections are heavily concentrated among the youth, i.e., persons aged 15-24 years old (UNAIDS, 2006b). In South Africa, the estimated national HIV prevalence was 10.4% among the youth in 2006 (Dorrington ...
Molecular, functional and biological characterization of a single enveloped nucleopolyhedrovirus infecting the crop pest Helicoverpa armigera
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
My study involves a detailed molecular and cellular characterisation of a South African isolate of a nucleopolyhedrovints (I.IPV) isolated from the Lepidopteran insect Helicoverpa armigera (HaSNPV-SA). Chapter two entails ...
Study of the use of Electret Ion chambers as radom dosimeters in South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
Radon is a naturally occuring radioactive gas which has been shown to be a major contribution to background dose. The underground mines in South Africa present a major occupational hazard. A need for cheap personal monitoring ...
Titanium compounds and plant growth
(University of the Western Cape, 2001)
The effect of titanium compounds on the growth of tomato plants, Lycopersicum
esculentum (cultivar Floridade), was studied under greenhouse conditions.
Aqueous suspensions (TiO2) and solutions (complexes of titanium (IV) ...
(p.n.) Reactions on 59co in the intermediate energy range
(University of the Western Cape, 1992)
Detailed theoretical investigations [Chi80,Mos82,Kle85] of (p,n) and (p,p') data
indicate that the reaction mechanisms operative at intermediate energies and for
energy losses up to several tens of MeV are predominantly ...
