Applying a lagrangian trajectory model to investigate and describe the distribution of drifting ecklonia maxima within the benguela upwelling system
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Macroalgal morphological variation is determined to a large extent by a combination of environmental factors, with wave exposure and temperature perhaps the main influences, as they are key environmental properties to which ...
Influence of data accuracy and non-use of quality information on reproductive health: a comparative study of Nigeria and South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
In healthcare settings, information systems play a critical role in providing safe, timely, and effective healthcare services. Decision-making on medical supplies, healthcare providers, service delivery, finance, and ...
An assessment of factors influencing the spatial variability of iron concentrations in groundwater in selected areas of the Western Cape Province.
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Groundwater in South Africa, and more specifically the Western Cape Province (WCP), has become of major interest in recent years due to the unpredictable climatic conditions and the uncertainty of surface water to continuously ...
Chemical pressure-induced transition of the magnetic ground state from ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic order in CeCuGe and DyCuIn alloys
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Rare-earth intermetallic compounds continue to attract considerable attention, due to their fundamental importance in understanding physical properties and potential applications based on a variety of phenomena. The ternary ...
On the efficacy of enhanced feature selection methods for supervised crime prediction
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
The challenge of crime across the globe has necessitated several considerations for crime preventive measures. There exist a variety of crime prevention strategies, such as the use of necessary weapons or tools to respond ...
Genomic epidemiology of Rift Valley fever in East Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a climate-driven zoonotic disease of significant importance to public and livestock health given its epidemic potential. The disease was first identified in 1930 in the great rift valley region ...
Investigating genetic diversity and microRNA of Hermetia illucens (the black soldier fly) to breed for mass production of a novel sustainable protein
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Introduction: A new sustainable source of protein is needed to meet the demands of the growing global population. Insect meal is a suitable replacement, and the black soldier fly (BSF) is the most used insect in industrial ...
Rainfall induced transient pressure wave mechanisms and pore water pressure dynamics in tailings
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Tailings Storage Facilities are some of the largest engineered structures responsible for the containment of mining waste, yet some physical/hydrological processes causing slope instability are still poorly understood. ...
A framework for the analysis of discrete irregular patterned sequential datasets
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Trial-and-error is often used for developing new deep learning models. There is no systematic procedure for improving existing models for predicting irregular sequential time-series. This research developed a systematic ...
An assessment of river and wetland morphology dynamics using geospatial techniques
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Land surface modification has intensified in recent years, and it continues to be an ongoing process. This raises serious concerns about changes in land use and land cover (LULC) since some of these changes have led to ...
