An analytical model for assessing the knowledge of statistical procedures amongst postgraduate students in a higher educational environment
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Over the past decades, the use and application of statistical concepts for university students have been a big challenge learned from their previous courses. Aftermath of democracy, South African higher education focused ...
Mathematical modeling of the transmission dynamics of malaria in South Sudan
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Malaria is a common infection in tropical areas, transmitted between humans
through female anopheles mosquito bites as it seeks blood meal to carry out
egg production. The infection forms a direct threat to the lives of ...
Robust computational methods to simulate slow-fast dynamical systems governed by predator-prey models
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Numerical approximations of multiscale problems of important applications in ecology
are investigated. One of the class of models considered in this work are singularly perturbed
(slow-fast) predator-prey systems which ...
Quasi-uniform and syntopogenous structures on categories
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
In a category C with a proper (E; M)-factorization system for morphisms, we further investigate
categorical topogenous structures and demonstrate their prominent role played
in providing a uni ed approach to the theory ...
Interior operators and their applications
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Categorical closure operators were introduced by Dikranjan and Giuli in [DG87] and then developed by
these authors and Tholen in [DGT89]. These operators have played an important role in the development
of Categorical ...
Valuation of options for hedging against exchange rate exposure
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
The risk associated with currency exposure is one of the main sources of risk in terms of internationally
diversi ed portfolios. Controlling the risk is important for improving the performance
of international investments. ...
Stochastic modeling of an HIV/AIDS epidemic with treatment
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
The HIV/AIDS epidemic continues to be among the most devastating diseases in human
history despite the new scientific advances and serious public health interventions.
The greatest burden of HIV/AIDS is still in sub-Saharan ...
Design, analysis and simulation of a robust numerical method to solve Zika virus models
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
This thesis deals with the analysis and robust simulation of mathematical models
describing Zika virus disease. Some background information about the occurrences
of this disease and most recent literature indicating some ...
The impact of using technology through cooperative learning on learners’ performance on grade 11 circle geometry
(University of the Western Cape, 2019-11)
Euclidean geometry was recently re-introduced as a compulsory topic in the Mathematics
Curriculum for learners in the Further Education and Training (FET) band in 2012. The
diagnostic analysis reports on the National ...
Boundedness and pseudocompactness in pointfree topology
(University of Western Cape, 2019)
This dissertation is a presentation to generalize boundedness and pseudocompactness
in pointfree topology. We rst obtain and introduce a boundedness
notion for elements of a frame. This is then further inspiration to ...
