An Experimental Study on the Infiltration Potential of Stormwater Ponds in Zeekoe Catchment, Cape Town, South Africa by Mavundla, Kgomoangwato

“…From the HYDRUS 2-D simulations, the period required for the wetting front movement from the pond surfaces to the water table ( 5.5 m below the surface) was 15 140 hours. Hydraulic conductivities estimated using the pedotransfer function (PTF) of the built-in software, Rosetta-Lite, were also greater than the field hydraulic conductivity values by 118%. …”

Processing of transient stimuli by the visual system of the rat by Kara, Prakash

“…The sensitivity of the flash-evoked LGN response to the level of background illumination was tested in 11 ON-like and 10 OFF-like neurones. No sustained secondary excitatory events, as observed in visual cortical neurones, were found in any of the ON- and OFF-like LGN neurones, irrespective of the level of background illumination. …”

Developing quantitative approaches to determine microbial colonisation and activity in mineral bioleaching and characterisation of acid rock drainage by Makaula, Didi Xhanti

“…The flowthrough configuration was run alongside the refined UCT-developed batch biokinetic test using suspended mineral. In this study, two pyritic waste rock samples, liberated by milling, were characterised using three biokinetic test approaches: the slurry batch test (BT), the batch test using mineral-coated beads (BT-CB) and flow-through column test with mineral-coated beads (FT-CB). …”

Monetary policy and economic performance - evidence from selected African countries by Fiador, Vera Ogeh Lassey

“…Chapter Two tests the completeness of the pass-through of the central bank policy rate to bank lending rates on one hand, and the interest rate pass-through as a function of the level of financial development on the other hand. …”

The role of norepinephrine in arousal and attention: a human and rat study by Howells, Fleur Margaret

“…The seventh aim was to determine whether an acute nicotine dose reduced anxiety-like and depressive-like behaviors in several rat strains and to relate it to the effects of acetylcholine on the LC-NE system. …”
