Identification and validation of putative therapeutic and diagnostic antimicrobial peptides against HIV: An in silico approach
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
Background: Despite the effort of scientific research on HIV therapies and to reduce the rate
of HIV infection, AIDS remains one of the major causes of death in the world and mostly
in sub-Saharan Africa. To date, neither ...
Re-use of South African fly ash for CO2 capture and brine remediation.
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
Coal combustion accounts for 95% of electricity generation in South Africa while globally coal combustion for energy generation stands at 42%. It has been predicted that coal utilization for energy generation will continue ...
Identification and validation of putative therapeutic and diagnostic antimicrobial peptides against HIV: An in silico approach
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
Background: Despite the effort of scientific research on HIV therapies and to reduce the rate of HIV infection, AIDS still remains one of the major causes of death in the world and mostly in Sub-Saharan Africa. To date, ...
Electrochemical responses of novel preferentially oriented platinum (100) nanoalloys for ammonia and hydrazine catalysis
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
Ammonia has attracted attention as a possible fuel for direct fuel cells since it is easy to handle under low pressure, costs only slightly higher than methanol and can easily be cracked down into hydrogen and nitrogen. ...
Development of Impedimetric Immunosensor for Fumonisin on Polyanilino-Carbon Nanotubes Doped with Palladium Telluride Nanocrystals
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
Immunosensors are affinity ligand-based biosensor solid-state devices in which the immunochemical reaction is coupled to a transducer. The specificity of the molecular recognition of antigens by antibodies to form a stable ...
Codes Related to and Derived from Hamming Graphs
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
For integers n, k 2:: 1, and k ~ n, the graph r~has vertices the 2n vectors of lF2 and adjacency defined by two vectors being adjacent if they differ in k coordinate positions. In particular, r~is the classical n-cube, ...
Studies on the ecology and taxonomy of nematodes of Saldanha Bay, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2013)
Few studies of shallow water marine nematodes have been conducted around South Africa, and none from the west coast. Here, I analyse the composition of nematode communities from six stations along a 3 km transect in Saldanha ...
