Microheterogeneous solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) membranes for electrocatalysis
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2002-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The deposition of platinum catalyst on cation-exchange membranes was achieved by
a counter diffusion deposition method known as the Takenaka- Torikai method. The
morphology of the platinum catalyst on ...
Investigation of the possible influences of candidate modifier genes on the clinical expression of variegate porphyria (VP)
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2002-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Variegate porphyria (VP, MIM 176200) is a low penetrance autosomal dominant
disorder that stems from mutations in the protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPOX) gene.
VP is found in most populations, but has a ...
Structure activity relationship studies of ochratoxin A analogues
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2002-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Mycotoxins have assumed worldwide importance due to the ubiquitous occurrence of
toxigenic fungi, their infestation of plant-based foods and feeds and the subsequent
economical and health impact it ...
The effect of androgenic anabolic steroids on the susceptibility of the rat heart to ischaemia and reperfusion injury
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2002-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background: Athletes use androgenic anabolic steroids (AAS) to enhance
their physical performance. The abuse of AAS is however associated with a
host of side effects including sudden death due to cardiac ...
Histological description of generation glands and their functional relationship to the shedding cycle in cordylid lizards
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2002-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Specialized skin scales (generation glands) and undifferentiated skin scales were
compared in three species of cordylid lizard, viz. Cordy/us cordy/us, Pseudocordy/us
micro/epidotus and P. capensis. ...
Supported zeolite A membranes. Feasibility of the static transverse synthesis : a new approach
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2002-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: As there is inadequate control of the hydrothermal synthesis technique used to date in the
synthesis of zeolite A membranes, the feasibility of a new synthesis approach was investigated,
namely the ...
Propylene / 1-pentene random copolymers : preparation, characterisation and commercialisation
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2002-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Most polypropylene copolymers commercially available have ethylene, and to a
lesser degree t-butene as comonomers. Commercially available higher a-olefins,
mostly even-numbered, are seldom used for the ...
Monte Carlo simulation of direction sensitive antineutrino detection
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT:
Neutrino and antineutrino detection is a fairly new eld of experimental physics,
mostly due to the small interaction cross section of these particles. Most of
the detectors in use today are huge ...
Phytogeography of Namibia : a taxon approach to the spermatophyte flora
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2002-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Two key attributes of biodiversity, species richness and endemism are documented, analysed and
mapped for the indigenous spermatophyte plant taxa of Namibia. A provisional diversity map is
presented ...

(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2002-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Heartwater is a major threat to livestock in Africa due to its high mortality rate. The
intracellular nature of the causative organism, Cowdria ruminantium, makes it difficult to
