Recently, engineers have devoted a great deal of research to developing a Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) process with high carbon utilization efficiency and low CO2 emissions. This is desirable not only to improve the ...
A series of experiments in different types of reactors were performed with TiO2 supported cobalt catalyst to gain a better understanding of the phenomena related to Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) reaction. The performance ...
This study primarily seeks to confirm two systems of classifying the sulci of the frontal
operculum1 (F3): the radiologically derived system of Ebeling et al (1989) involving four
Types of Sulcal Connections, and the ...
The increasing emergence of drug-resistant pathogens poses a major threat to public health. Although influenced by multiple factors, resistance is often associated with mutations in drug target-encoding or associated genes. ...
Broadband is an important technology for development. Research has proven that development is directly linked to high speed internet. Over the past few years mobile broadband has overtaken fixed-line broadband as a primary ...
The purpose of this research was to examine the perceptions of a selected group of
retrenched participants from Ford Motors in Gauteng in the Dipaakanyo Social Plan
Programme.
An evaluative qualitative study utilizing ...
The U-curves of five different test objects, three of which contain a rod floating object
at different positions within the gap, are characterised. During the testing, a high
speed camera was used to photograph the ...
Esophageal cancer ranks as the second most common cancer among black males in South Africa and patients often seek medical attention when the cancer has already reached advanced stages. Thus, there is a lot of work ...
Wastewater is generated in the production of water-based paints when vessels and filling lines are washed in between batches. This results in a dilute paint wastewater stream. This dissertation concerns the study of the ...
Abstract
This dissertation describes a study of the treatment of wastewater using the
flocculation process. Wastewater samples from Barloworld Plascon paints were
used for the research.
Environmental pressure has ...
The flow characteristics of an on-line analyser were measured using a
stimulus – response technique. The analyser was developed for
monitoring homogeneous catalyst concentrations in a non-aqueous
solution and it was ...
Many environmental and engineering projects require prediction of the velocity of
flow in river channels, in terms of those channel properties and flow characteristics
which induce resisting forces or an energy loss to ...
Abstract
This research report details the design, construction, implementation and optimization
of a quantitative movable flow visualization technique named Electronic Speckle
Pattern Interferometry (ESPI).
ESPI is a ...
The reconstruction of the fluid evolution of the Zambian Copperbelt is presented,
where extensive stratiform copper-cobalt mineralisation is hosted in the metasediments of
the Katanga Supergroup located in the Lufilian ...
Cosmogenic nuclide burial dating was used to determine the age of ancient
alluvial terrace deposits in the lower Vaal River catchment, and thus provide
an absolute fluvial chronology. A poor chronological framework has ...
ABSTRACT
Equilibrium unfolding, single- and double-jump kinetic studies were conducted to
determine the unfolding and refolding pathway of glutaredoxin 2. Structural
changes for wild-type glutaredoxin 2 were monitored ...
Language is integrally involved in all stages of the learning process. Children who have a
language disability are therefore likely to have difficulty with their schooling. The Centre for
Language and Hearing Impaired ...
The overarching objective of this thesis is to determine causes of food insecurity in southern
Africa, and how it can best be addressed. This objective is addressed through a number of
research questions and methods at ...
Abstract
The following dissertation aims to analyse and explore the significance of consumption
and consumerism, from both a personal and global perspective, by viewing society
through the prism of what it chooses to ...
