The genetic relationship between the corpus callosum, bipolar disorder and alcohol use by Campbell, Megan Loraine

“…Methods: Multivariate and univariate genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were conducted utilizing genetic and T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of 40,894 individuals from the UK Biobank. The volume of the five subregions of the CC (posterior, mid-posterior, central, mid-anterior and anterior) were extracted using FreeSurfer v7.1. …”

A study of the use of prescription and non-prescription drugs by an elderly population of the Southern Peninsular area of Cape Town by Smart, Rosalind Vida May

“…The interviews were structured with 4 major components: 1. a questionnaire designed to collect participant particulars; 2. an interview schedule to collect information on drug use patterns and to assess participant knowledge of medicines used (Knowledge score). 3. a container label assessment schedule (Label score); 4. a cognitive function test to identify and exclude severely cognitively impaired elderly from the study population. …”

Development of a Solution Method to Promote Proper Bandaging Techniques for Transfemoral Amputees by Lalla, Bhaveen

“…Target bandage lengths are expected to apply adequate pressure, while covering the exposed area of the residual limb for the current bandaging step. Testing occurred on an anatomically correct residual limb model (ACM) and five constructed models (CM) assembled by altering proximal and distal ACM circumferential measurements in increments of 5 cm. …”

Development and preliminary numerical investigations of a dislocation density-based finite-strain rate-dependent elastoplasticity constitutive model by Garschagen, Emma

“…The model is fit to 5XXX series aluminium mechanical test data sourced from literature, and from preliminary investigations, it is shown that the work hardening behaviour and associated dislocation density evolution under the given loading conditions concurs with general trends seen in literature.…”

N and P limitation of fynbos plants and the nutritional status of legume habitats in the Cape Floristic Region by Potgieter, Gardia Purchase

“…In general, terrestrial ecosystems are limited by both N and P, but, as legumes fix atmospheric nitrogen, I hypothesized that fynbos legumes would be P limited and nonlegumes would be N limited, and that the degree to which these plants respond to N and P would depend on the levels of each of these two nutrients in the growth media. To test these hypotheses, three legumes and three non-legumes native to the fynbos were grown in a complete factorial arrangement of four levels of N and P in a glass house. …”
