The development and application of informatics-based systems for the analysis of the human transcriptome
(University of the Western Cape, 2003)
Despite the fact that the sequence of the human genome is now complete it has become clear that the elucidation of the transcriptome is more complicated than previously expected. There is mounting evidence for unexpected ...
Assessment of genome visualization tools relevant to HIV genome research: development of a genome browser prototype
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
Over the past two decades of HIV research, effective vaccine candidates have been elusive. Traditionally viral research has been characterized by a gene -by-gene approach, but in the light of the availability of complete ...
Power studies of multivariate two-sample tests of comparison
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
The multivariate two-sample tests provide a means to test the match between two multivariate distributions. Although many tests exist in the literature, relatively little is known about the relative power of these procedures. ...
KernTune: self-tuning Linux kernel performance using support vector machines
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
Self-tuning has been an elusive goal for operating systems and is becoming a pressing issue for modern operating systems. Well-trained system administrators are able to tune an operating system to achieve better system ...
Transport modelling in the Cape Town Metropolitan Area
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The use of MEPLAN by the Metropolitan Transport Planning Branch of the Cape Town City Council since 1984 was not successful due to apartheid anomalies. EMME/2 was then introduced in 1991 in replacement of MEPLAN. In this ...
New algorithms for EST clustering
(University of the Western Cape, 2000)
Summary: Expressed sequence tag database is a rich and fast growing source of data for gene expression analysis and drug discovery. Clustering of raw EST data is a necessary step
for further analysis and one of the most ...
Towards a classification system of significant water resources with a case study of the Thukela river
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The increasing demand for water to provide for South Africa's growing population has resulted in increasing pressure being placed on the country's limited water resources. Water developments however cannot be undertaken ...
A geographic information systems approach to the identification of Table Mountain group aquifer "type areas" of ecological importance
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
The Table Mountain group aquifer system has the potential to be an important supply of water. Although the aquifer system is used to some extent, a number of aspects relating to the aquifer system are poorly understood and ...
