(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
Water resources management practice has undergone changes in management approaches and principles over time. It was previously characterised by what scholars refer to as the hydraulic mission where ‘extreme engineering’ ...
Structural controls on groundwater flow in the Clanwilliam area
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
Deformation of the western part of the Table Mountain Group rocks during the Cape Orogeny created a series of folds and associated fractures. The subsequent continental break-up of Gondwana led to the development of large ...

(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
Increased levels of oestrogen and progesterone during pregnancy may lead to periodontal disease. The anaerobic Gram-negative bacteria called red complex (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythensis and Treponema ...
A survey of inorganic chemical pollution in the Bottelary River, Cape Town
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
Chemical pollution of freshwater is a worldwide environmental problem; eutrophication, heavy metals and salinity are amongst the most widely used indicators of pollution. The aim of this study was to assess the status of ...
Recombinant expression and full backbone assignment of the human DWNN using heteronuclear NMR
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The cellular levels of a number of proteins have been found to be regulated by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. In this pathway, proteins are covalently tagged (“ubiquitinated”) by ubiquitin, which acts as a signal for ...

(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
Microbial nitrile hydratases (NHases) are important industrial enzymes that catalyse the conversion of nitriles to the corresponding amides. A thermostable, cobalt-type
Bacillus sp. RAPc8 NHase was previously cloned and ...
Synergistic effects of mixtures of the kresoxim-methyl fungicide and medicinal plants extracts in vitro and in vivo against Botrytis Cinerea
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The fungus Botrytis cinerea is an opportunistic pathogen on a wide variety of crops, causing disease known as grey mould through infections via wounds or dead plant parts. Synthetic fungicides for controlling this disease ...
