The Cape Floristic Region (CFR) in South Africa, is one of the world's five Mediterranean hotspots, and is also one of the 34 global biodiversity hotspots. It has rich biological diversity, high level of species endemism ...
Static MySQL Error Checking
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
Coders of databases repeatedly face the problem of checking their Structured Query Language (SQL) code. Instructors face the difficulty of checking student projects and lab assignments in database courses. We collect and ...
Respiratory and photosynthetic C and N metabolism of nodulated Lupin roots during phosphorus deficiency
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
Growth of symbiotic legume hosts is P limited, because of the high energetic requirements associated with N2 fixation. Attempts to overcome P deficiency in soils where legumes are grown involve addition of P-based fertilisers. ...
Integrated approach to solving reservoir problems and evaluations using Sequence Stratigraphy, Geological Structures and Diagenesis in Orange Basin, South Africa"
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
The use of integrated approach to evaluate reservoir rock quality and source rock potential is becoming increasingly important in petroleum geology. This approach was employed to unravel the reason for variable reservoir ...
The screening of phyto-pesticides for potential adverse effects on human health
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
Pesticides are designed to control or eliminate pests such as insects, rodents, weeds, bacteria, and fungi. They are used at a global scale for agricultural produce. Although pesticides playa significant role in increasing ...
The Efficacy of the Eigenvector Approach to South African Sign Language Identification
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)
