Inverse model systems to investigate metal-support interactions in Fischer-Tropsch catalysis by Macheli, Lebohang

“…This thesis aims to gain insight into the effects of metal-support interaction in Co/SiO2 catalysts using an inverse model system by modifying Co3O4 nanocrystallites with silanes (i.e. tetraethoxysilane, trimethyl chlorosilane, triphenyl ethoxysilane). …”

Estimation of Shadow-Rate Term Structure Models Near the Zero-Lower Bound by Esmail, Shabbirhussein

“…Though it is customary to use standard Gaussian term structure models for term structure modelling, this becomes theoretically implausible in cases when nominal interest rates are near zero: Gaussian models can have arbitrarily large negative rates, whereas arbitrage considerations dictate that rates should remain positive (or very slightly negative at most). …”

Measurements and finite element modelling of transformer flux with dc and power frequency current by Chisepo, Hilary Kudzai

“…A refined 3D FEM simulation with more detailed modelling of the core joints of 1p4L model transformers agreed more closely with the practical measurements of ac only no-load conditions. …”

Research and model studies on range action in Table Bay Harbour, Cape Town by Wilson, Basil Wrigley

“…The demand for a model study of the Range problem in Table Bay Harbour was referred late in 1941 to the Research section of the Chief Civil Engineer's Department or the South African Railways and Harbours, the Research Engineer being requested to undertake an investigation. …”

Ultrasonography Evaluation of Patency of Implanted Infra-Renal Vascular Grafts in the Rat Model. by Da Silva, Natercia

“…Introduction: Intensive research over the last six decades has resulted in minimal improvement in vascular graft development. Small animal models are the first line of species exposed to vascular graft implantation and invasive monitoring of experimental graft patency may contribute to pain, suffering, higher cost and earlier sacrifice. …”

Quantum-Based Modelling and Simulation of Materials Used In Small-Scaled Plasmonic Devices by Akinyemi, Lateef Adesola

“…Firstly, the extension of existing classical models to Plasmonic materials is examined. It is ascertained that most of these models are designed for usage only in the highfrequency region. …”

Model systems for the investigation of metal-support interactions in cobalt based Fischer-Tropsch by Dyasi, Nontsikelelo

“…In order to investigate metal support interactions independent of other support effects, the inverse method was used in the synthesis of model catalysts [3]. The inverse method mimics the interface bond between the support and the active metal, resulting in CoO-Si bond formation. …”
