Anomaly Detection With Machine Learning In Astronomical Images
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Observations that push the boundaries have historically fuelled scientific breakthroughs, and these observations frequently involve phenomena that were previously unseen and unidentified. Data sets have increased in size ...
Study of low-lying proton unbound states in 24Al using the 24Mg(3He; t)24Al reaction.
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
This MSc project entails a study of astrophysically relevant states in 24Al,
that are important for a better understanding of the 23Mg(p,
)24Al nuclear
reaction rate in classical novae. This is a crucial breakout reaction ...
Synthesis and characterization of ion implanted Pd/Ti/V/Pd/Ti based multilayer thin films using rutherford backscattering spectrometry (rbs) and elastic recoil detection analysis (erda) for hydrogen storage application
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Hydrogen is regarded as an attractive, pollution-free energy carrier for future energy systems,
supported by its efficient energy conversion. Still, the challenge is its storage and transportation.
Hydrogen can either ...
Out of thermodynamic equilibrium reaction of zinc-molybdenum system monitored by real-time rutherford backscattering spectrometry
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Solid phase reaction of bi-metallic thin films of zinc-molybdenum was thermally induced in
order to investigate the diffusion kinetics of this bi-metallic system. The Zinc-Molybdenum bilayers
were prepared by depositing ...
The interstellar medium scaling relations in cosmological simulations
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
This work presents the scaling relations for the redshift zero galaxies in the SIMBA1
cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. The aim is to test the degree to which the
SIMBA simulations reproduce the physical properties ...
E2/M1 mixing in the Jπ= 5/2+ to 3/2+ transition in 21Na and its relation to the 20Ne(p,y ) stellar reaction rate
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
In the above, M is the total mass of the molecular cloud, R is its radius, k is Boltzmann's constant, G is
the gravitational constant, T is the cloud temperature, m is the mean molecular weight, and is the cloud
molecular ...
Radon exhalation studies for applications in low background environments.
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Neutrinoless double beta decay (0 ) is a rare process that is yet to be observed. Observation of neutrinoless
double beta decays would imply lepton number violation, and that the neutrino is its own antiparticle ...
Radon exhalation studies for applications in low background environments.
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) is a rare process that is yet to be observed. Observation of neutrinoless double beta decays would imply lepton number violation, and that the neutrino is its own antiparticle (a
Majorana ...
Supervised machine learning techniques for radio source classification
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Classification is one of the most fundamental aspects of scientific investigation. Astronomers have thus developed several classification schemes to try and make sense of the evolving properties of planets, stars and ...
Synthesis of bimetallic immiscible alloy nanoparticles through green and gamma radiolysis approaches for environmental remediation applications
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
The synthesis of bimetallic immiscible alloy nanoparticles (NPs) using versatile routes, is a major concern since physio-chemical methods are not environmentally benign. Breaking down the immiscibility would generate NPs ...
