Construction and analysis of exponential time differencing methods for the robust simulation of ecological models
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
In this thesis, we consider some interesting mathematical models arising in
ecology. Our focus is on the exploration of robust numerical solvers which are
applicable to models arising in mathematical ecology. To begin ...
Analysis and simulation of nonlinear option pricing problems
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
We present the Black-Scholes Merton partial differential equation (BSMPDE) and its
analytical solution. We present the Black-Scholes option pricing model and list some
limitations of this model. We also present a nonlinear ...
Risk based approach of post- approval changes in central America and Dominican republic, identifying opportunities for convergence with EMA and FDA
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
In Central American countries (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua,
Costa Rica and Panama) and Dominican Republic (DR) the approval timelines for major changes
are described ranging from 12 to 18 months, these ...
Lifetime measurements of excited nuclei through modern nuclear spectroscopy
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
The progressive development of scintillator detectors has made it possible to perform direct electronic
lifetime determination up to a few hundred nanoseconds. The 2" by 2" LaBr3:Ce detectors
provide a combination of ...
Security related self-protected networks: autonomous threat detection and response (ATDR)
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Cybersecurity defense tools, techniques and methodologies are constantly faced with increasing
challenges including the evolution of highly intelligent and powerful new generation threats. The
main challenges posed by ...
Development of a challenger price sensitivity model to improve Santam's new business optimisation framework
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Lifetime measurements of excited nuclei through modern nuclear spectroscopy
(2021)
The progressive development of scintillator detectors has made it possible to perform direct electronic lifetime determination up to a few hundred nanoseconds. The 2” by 2” LaBr3:Ce detectors
provide a combination of ...
Environmental modelling of wetland distribution in the Western Cape, South Africa: A climate change perspective
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Wetlands have been recognised as one of the most intrinsically valuable and
threatened ecosystems in the world. Global estimates indicate that wetlands are
being lost or transformed at a rapid rate, exacerbated by projected ...
Effects of flood dynamics on island geomorphology in a large mixed bedrock-alluvial anabranching river: a case study of the Vaal River near Parys.
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Rare-infrequent magnitude floods of shorter duration events are significant natural hazards and play a key role in shaping river channel and island geomorphology. For a given river or channel, there is a relationship between ...
Spatial distribution and abundance of microplastics particles in the bed sediment of Zeekoevlei Lake, Cape Town
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Microplastics (MPs) are an emerging micro-pollutant that pose a threat to the ecological integrity of freshwater rivers and wetlands. Most previous work on MPs pollution has focused on marine environments. This study aimed ...
