Computational modelling of hydrogel therapies by Ahmed, Sadman Sakib

“…However, subsequent increases in viscosity do not result in an equal decrease in the rate of loss; i.e., as viscosity increases during gelation, the rate at which losses occur decreases slowly. …”

The prevalence of asthma in urban and rural Black children : an epidemiological survey by Van Niekerk, Christoffel Hendrik

“…To acquire the above, it was necessary 1. to obtain information on the characteristics and socio-economic status of the family of each child studied; 2. to obtain information on every child relating to exposure to allergens in his immediate home environment; 3. to obtain information on the dietary pattern of every child during infancy and currently; 4. to identify the asthmatic children by subjecting every child to an appropriate exercise stimulus for detection of exercise-induced asthma judged by pulmonary function tests; 5. to conduct a clinical examination of the children. and skinfold thickness was also measured; Height, weight 6. to conduct prick skin testing to assess specific skin sensitivity to common allergens; 7. to conduct laboratory investigations relating to the allergic-immune status of the children; 8. arising out of these findings to relate the prevalence rates of asthma in the 2 samples and to suggest factors influencing the rates.…”

Factors limiting the exercise tolerance of patients with end-stage renal failure undergoing maintenance haemodialysis by Diesel, Wayne Jonathan

“…The present thesis was therefore designed to study whether central cardiovascular function or anaemia or muscle weakness causes patients with end-stage renal failure to terminate exercise at workrates well below those achieved by healthy controls.…”

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

“…Bouwer (2002) highlights how infiltration tests in the field can be useful for estimating desired volumetric recharge rates within a certain area. The hydraulic conductivity of the unsaturated layer is an essential non-linear function of soil-water content and has been generally recognised as the most important transport property to describe the ability of soil to permit water movement. …”
