Development of a fatigue tester and material model for flexible heart valve applications by Van Breda, Braden

“…Following the polymer chain entanglement theory, the increase in the number of monomers between crosslinks is further extended to be a function of strain rate, incorporating the viscous effect observed in polyurethanes. …”

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

“…This then fundamentally informed the determination of activity from microbial-mineral interaction, using IMC, as a function of surface area. Secondly, a detachment protocol developed at UCT to recover microbial cells from surfaces of crushed and agglomerated ore to assess microbial growth rates and distribution in the ore bed, including cells in the interstitial phase and those weakly and strongly attached to the ore surface, was refined to assess colonisation of the finely milled pyrite-bearing concentrate or waste rock coated onto glass beads in continuous flow assays. …”

“Removing the nail from the coffin'' outcomes of intramedullary nailing of femur fractures: a comparison of anterograde- and retrograde nails by Groenewald, Johann

“…There was no significant difference in the compared health-related quality of life measures and its surrogate categories that represented post operative knee function. Both the AFN and RFN nailing techniques effectively accomplished high union rates and adequate alignment. …”

A statistical shape analysis of the neurocranium and long bones by Maass, Petra

“…The ability to distinguish groups based on the detected variation was assessed using Discriminant Function Analysis. The results show that, when size is isolated from the data, only a few elements show sexual dimorphism, while all examined elements show high accuracy in distinguishing among ancestry groups (>74%). …”
