An investigation into the elements influencing stock control and their relation to health care delivery in the public setting: Development of a stock control assessment tool
(University of the Western Cape, 2000)
The aim of this study was to develop a Stock Control Assessment Tool for use in the public health care sector and then to apply it to identify problems in the stock control system. This would help authorities to optimize ...
Concept Based Knowledge Discovery From Biomedical Literature
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
Advancement in biomedical research and continuous growth of scientific literature available in electronic form, calls for innovative methods and tools for information management, knowledge discovery, and data integration. ...
The water quality and ecological status of the Diep river catchment, Western Cape, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2004)
The study illustrates the current ecological integrity of the Diep River system,
based on the recent river health assessment using the South African Scoring
System version 5 (2000-2003) and the water quality data ...
Species delimitation and assessment of genetic variability in Carpobrotus (Aizoaceae): evidence from amplified fragment length polymorphisms
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
During the course of this thesis, AFLP technique was successfully applied to the Aizoaceae taxa. This study involved a substantial component of laboratory work including generating and analysing AFLP data, the operation ...
CO2 sequestration using brine impacted fly ash
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
Coal combustion accounts for over 40 % of the world's energy production and this figure is projected to increase with increasing human population and industrialization. The combustion of coal leads to the generation of ...
Electrochemical responses of novel preferentially oriented platinum (100) nanoalloys for ammonia and hydrazine catalysis
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
Ammonia has attracted attention as a possible fuel for direct fuel cells since it is easy to handle under low pressure, costs only slightly higher than methanol and can easily be cracked down into hydrogen and nitrogen. ...
An approach to groundwater targeting in the Springbok region, Central Namaqualand, Northern Cape Province, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2003)
Namaqualand is a semi-arid region where water is not only a necessity and basic need but also very much a luxury. As a consequence, various studies were undertaken to find water sources, whether surface or groundwater, (by ...
Development of Impedimetric Immunosensor for Fumonisin on Polyanilino-Carbon Nanotubes Doped with Palladium Telluride Nanocrystals
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
Immunosensors are affinity ligand-based biosensor solid-state devices in which the immunochemical reaction is coupled to a transducer. The specificity of the molecular recognition of antigens by antibodies to form a stable ...
Using internet -enabled remote instrumentation for research and training in physics: Evaluation of different diffusion barriers for silver metallization
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
The growth of the Internet has led to many interesting developments for both educational and commercial purposes. In this project an attempt was made to use the Internet for a research purpose to facilitate the determination ...
Codes Related to and Derived from Hamming Graphs
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
For integers n, k 2:: 1, and k ~ n, the graph r~has vertices the 2n vectors of lF2 and adjacency defined by two vectors being adjacent if they differ in k coordinate positions. In particular, r~is the classical n-cube, ...
