Cape Town crisis: An analysis on drought response measures, the motives behind them, and their implications for equitable water access by Koehler, Lara-Marie

“…The results reveal that a significant number of policy decisions were based on the emergence of a duality of crisis: (1) a drought that mandated reducing demand and augmenting supply and (2) a financial model in need of stabilizing in order for the department to be able to do so. …”

Orthotopic liver transplantation at Groote Schuur Hospital : a serial analysis of biliary cytokines and biochemical parameters by Spearman, C W N

“…Biliary cytokines did not prove to be useful and reliable markers of early rejection. Serial measurement of biliary bilirubin levels showed an early and significant decrease a few days prior to rejection, and were a more sensitive marker of graft function than serum bilirubin levels.…”

Foreign direct investment and economic growth in South Africa: a sector level causality analysis by Maseko, Michael

“…This thesis analyses the causal relationship between FDI and economic growth in South Africa at a sector level comprising primary, secondary and tertiary industries. This study applied a more robust and asymptotically reliable Toda-Yamamoto-Dolado-Lutkephol (1995) methodology in analysing the causal relationship thus addressing the potential biases and asymptotic unreliability relating the traditional Granger causality technique. …”

Development of an online broadband impedance spectroscopy extraction system of PV modules through switch-mode converters by Shelembe, Lindani

“…However, this information only alerts to a decrease in the current or voltage levels, but not the possible cause(s) for the anomaly. To enable more detailed online diagnostics, linear impedance spectroscopy, a frequency-based characterization technique implemented through a DC-DC switch-mode converter, has been shown to provide fast and reliable impedance information that can be utilized to diagnose the condition of batteries and fuel cells in real-time. …”

Design of a Small-Scale System for the Growth of Artificial Sea Ice by Hall, Benjamin Andrew

“…Once this system has proven to reliably produce saline ice that can be termed as artificial sea ice with a columnar S2 structure, additional design implementations can then be undertaken to accomplish the growth of sea ice that more closely resembles the ice found in the Antarctic MIZ. …”
