Reliability of panoramic radiographs to determine the vertical position of the impacted third molar root tip from the inferior alveolar canal
(2013)Nowadays, the availability of radiographic modalities from conventional radiography to more advanced approaches such as medical computed tomography as well as cone beam computed tomography have been useful in providing ... -
Science text: Facilitating access to physiology through cognition-based reading intervention
(University of the Western Cape, 1995)Reading and understanding science text is the principal means by which students at tertiary level access scientific information and attain scientific literacy. However, understanding and learning from science texts require ... -
A study of the pollination biology of the (gyno) dioecious fig, Ficus capreifolia Del. (Moraceae)
(University of the Western Cape, 1994)Ficus capreifolia is a (gyno)dioecious species with separate male and female plants bearing male and female syconia respectively. Male syconia had staminate flowers near the ostiolar region of their syconia and numerous ... -
Synthesis of One-Dimensional TiO2 Nanotube Arrays by Potentiostatic Anodisation
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)TiO2 nanomaterials, in particular nanotubes, are some of the most studied materials, as they are considerably important in technological and biological applications due to their unique electronic properties and biocompatibility. ... -
Thermal stability and defect structure of hot-wire deposited amorphous silicon
(UWC, 2004)Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin films are presently used in several large-area thin-film applications. However, one major concern of a-Si:H is the fact that the stability of the material degrades when it is ... -
Three-dimensional structure of a type III glutamine synthetase by single particle reconstruction
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)This study represents the first structural investigation of any type III glutamine synthetase (GS). The GS, GlnA, from the medically important opportunistic human pathogen Bacteroides fragilis was studied with a view to ... -
Transcriptional regulatory networks in the mouse hippocampus
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)Neurological diseases are socially disabling and often mortal. To efficiently combat these diseases, a deep understanding of involved cellular processes, gene functions and anatomy is required. However, differential ... -
What constitutes morphological normal and abnormal human sperm heads
(University of the Western Cape, 1998)The percentage morphologically normal sperm appears to be of predictive value in the in vitro fertilization laboratory. However, the methodology used in this context is technically inaccurate and imprecise (subjective) and ...
