The evaluation of the establishment and growth of indigenous trees to restore deforested riparian areas in the Mapungubwe National Park, South Africa
(North-West University, 2007)
The deforestation of riparian areas is a major concern in southern Africa. These areas are characterized as fragile ecosystems which contribute largely to the regional and global biodiversity of the world. It is therefore ...
Lifetime value modelling
(North-West University, 2009)
Given the increase in popularity of Lifetime Value (LTV), the argument is that the topic will assume an increasingly central role in research and marketing. As such, the decision to assess the state of the field in Lifetime ...
Simulation modelling and analysis of a satellite campus's registration model
(North-West University, 2007)
The registration model is a very important part of any tertiary education institution's value chain, as this is the first contact that many students have with the institution. Therefore it is of extreme importance that ...
Recovery of gold from spent matrices using supercritical carbon dioxide
(North-West University, 2007)
The feasibility of recovering gold preloaded onto activated carbon by supercritical
carbon dioxide (sc-CO2) was investigated in view of the actuality of a more environmentally friendly process for the retrieval of gold ...
Ecological impacts of Highveld gerbils (Tatera Brantsii) on a rehabilitated ash disposal site
(North-West University, 2006)
Tatera brantsii was numerically dominant in the small mammal community on the plateaux of the rehabilitated ash disposal sites of ESKOM's Hendrina Power Station in 1998 and 1999 (Vermaak 2000). The species seemed well ...
Die ontwikkeling van 'n tandem-massaspektrometriese metode as bevestigende analise vir koolhidraat metaboliese defekte
(North-West University, 2006)
The study of carbohydrate structure and -metabolism has indicated the importance of
these compounds in the human body. Metabolic defects in the carbohydrate
metabolism, for example galactosemia and glycogen storage ...
An ab initio approach to the heliospheric modulation of galactic cosmic rays
(North-West University, 2006)
In the present study we aim to further our understanding of charged particle transport in a magnetized medium. To this end, we perform direct numerical simulations of particle transport in a turbulent magnetic field. From ...
Quality of environmental impact assessment (EIA) reports on biological pest control
(North-West University, 2006)
Decision making regarding the release of biological control agents for invasive species such as lantana, Lantana camara, requires the consideration and evaluation of environmental impact assessment (EIA) reports by a ...
Experimental and theoretical investigation of new Grubbs-type catalysts for the metathesis of alkenes
(North-West University, 2007)
Ondanks die hoe selektiwiteit van die eentegenerasre Grubbs-prekatallsator (Grl) gedurende die metatese ban terminale alkene, het dit 'n kort leeftyd by verhwgde temperature. Die ontwikkeling van die tweedegenerasie ...
Adaptation of trees to the urban environment : Acacia karroo in Potchefstroom, South Africa
(North-West University, 2006)
Urban open spaces are of strategic importance to the quality of life of our increasingly
urbanized society. Trees and related vegetation are planted and managed within the
