Modeling of the dispersion of radionuclides around a nuclear power station
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
Nuclear reactors release small amounts of radioactivity during their normal operations. The most common method of calculating the dose to the public that results from such releases uses Gaussian Plume models. We are ...
Emission of ³He ⁴He and ⁶He particles produce from the interaction of ¹²C with ⁹³Nb at 400 MeV incident energy
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The inclusive double di®erential cross sections of 3He, 4He, and 6He par-
ticles produced from the interaction of 12C with 93Nb at 400 MeV incident
energy were extracted from the prescaled singles spectra which were ...
Nano-rods WO3-δ for electrochromic smart windows applications
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
Tungsten oxide is a good electrochromic material which has been used in the construction of smart windows through visible modulation. These smart materials can reversibly change their optical properties with the application ...
Intense pulsed neutron generation based on the principle of Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation (PI3) technique
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
The development of a deuterium-deuterium/ tritium-deuterium (D-D/ D-T) pulsed neutron generator based on the principle of the Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation (PI3) technique is presented, in terms of investigating ...
Luminous red galaxies in simulations
(2010)
There have been a number of attempts to measure the expansion rate of the Universe using age-dating of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs).Assuming stars in LRGs form at the same time, age-dating of two populations of LRGs at ...
Production of Li, Be and B nuclei in the interaction of 12C with 12C at incident energies of 200 and 400 MeV
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
The objective of this project is to study the production of Li, Be and B isotopes emitted in the interaction of 12C with 12C at incident energies of 200 and 400 MeV.The energies of these produced fragments were measured ...
Filament carburization during the hot-wire chemical vapour deposition of carbon nanotubes
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
This study reports on the changes in the structural properties of a tungsten-filament when exposed to a methane / hydrogen ambient for different durations at various filament-temperatures.
Development and characterization of bioceramic coatings for medicall and dental applications
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
Hydroxyapatite (HA), which is a natural component of bone tissue, is already being marketed as a coating for the metal shafts of hip implants as well as dental screws and other endoprostheses with the expectation of improved ...
An exploration of learning by women in the clothing and textile industry within the context of the National Skills Development Strategy
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
This study explored the learning experiences of black working class women in the context of the National Skills Development Strategy. The research focused firstly, on how the National Skills Development Strategy facilitated ...
Directional correlation from oriented states and linear poralization measurements of Gamma Rays from 190T1
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
High-spin states in the oblate deformed odd-odd thallium nucleus ( ) 109 190 81 Tl have been investigated through the reaction 175Lu(20Ne, 5n)190Tl at a beam energy of 115 MeV. The gamma rays emitted from 190Tl nucleus ...
