Generating a proteomic profile of neurogenesis, through the use of human foetal neural stem cells by Garnett, Shaun

“…Conclusion This work represent a detailed in vitro characterisation of non immortalised human foetal neural stem cells, it describes the regulatory, metabolic and structural changes occurring within neural stem cells in early brain development. The information herein points towards de-differentiation potentially through LIN28-let7, as a means to produce more neurogenic neural stem cells in vitro thus aiding regenerative therapies, as well as provides a wealth of information for better understanding neurological developmental disorders.…”

Fracture in polycrystalline diamond. Investigating cracking and toughness behaviour using a miniature double torsion technique by Petrov, Serguei Igorevich

“…Therefore, the research project investigated the ability of the DT technique to controllably initiate and propagate cracks, followed by the development of the in-situ SEM miniature DT rig. Development of such a rig permitted the live observation of the cracking process, while capturing the load displacement data. …”

An evaluation of the pressure-leakage response of selected water distribution networks in South Africa by Levin, Seamus Jay

“…Significant research and investigations have been done at laboratory scale however theoretical developments have not been applied on field studies, and hence there is a lack of reports published in peer reviewed journals.The principal aims of this dissertation were to consolidate information from pressure management zones collected around South Africa and the analysis of results using a conventional methodology as well as alternative methodologies that used different pressure and flow inputs that represented the extreme range of pressure and flow.The relationships between the calculated leakage parameters were then studied and where leakage parameters were determined to be not physically possible, these were studied for errors.The dissertation is the result of research collected and conducted since February 2015 on 141 pressure management zones (PMZs) across South Africa.The data, collected from the field, consists of the zone characteristics, measurement data such as flow and pressure logging, and consumption data, including night time usage. …”

Inclusive urban centres by Madzingaidzo, Tawanda

“…It is about transforming the current status of a township from a dormitory or residential zone that simply repels its inhabitants to look for a sense of wellbeing and livelihood elsewhere to a township with an active centre that retains its people through promoting and supporting context specific socio-economic opportunities of the place It has become evident in many South African townships that there is an entrepreneurial activity that supports the livelihood of people within the settlements yet this activity is largely unsupported in legislation and in built infrastructure. …”
