Radiation doses for barium meals and barium enemas in the Western Cape South Africa
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2009)Since their discovery in 1895, the use of x-rays is continuously evolving in medicine making the diagnosis of injuries and diseases more practicable. It is therefore not surprising that x-rays contribute 90% of the radiation ... -
Radiology imaging equipment and accessories as possible Fomites of Nosocomial pathogens
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2019)Background: Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) known as nosocomial infections are a major challenge within the health-care environment. Although investment and time are continually spent on the eradication of HAIs, the ... -
Radiosynthesis of various pyrimidine derivatives and determining their uptake into cells
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2009)N3-substituted pyrimidine nucleoside derivatives containing either an iodovinyl moiety or an allyl group, i.e. [121]-N3-(3-iodoprop-2-en- l -yl)thymidine, (1~-711 and e21]-N3-(prop-2-enl- yl)-5-iodo-Z'-deoxyuridine, ... -
Rapid urbanization and its influence on the growth of informal settlements in Windhoek, Namibia
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2010)The accelerated influx of migrants into Windhoek after the attainment of independence in 1990 caused progressive settlement growth on open council-owned land as well as considerable shelter and servicing problems for the ... -
Rationalisation of business processes to create a unified information systems portfolio in a merger: a case study of a financial institution
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2016)The failure to rationalise business processes and Information Technology (IT) systems inhibits the ability of organisations to capitalise and create synergies for a merger. Rationalisation of business processes to create ... -
Re-branding Zimbabwe : a transformative and challenging process
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2013)During the past few decades, nation branding has emerged as one of the key strategies for national economic development. Many nations across the world, both developed and developing, have embraced the concept as they ... -
The re-engineering of communication processes to manage post-merger integration challenges at a selected financial institution
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2016)In any business and in particular complex, merging businesses there is a need for effective communication with both internal and external stakeholders. This is often difficult when, in the process of a merger, communication ... -
The re-skilling requirements of database administrators in a big data environment
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2018)Big data generated within organisations is on an exponential increase. It is not only the increase in the volume and velocity of structured data but more so the complexity of unstructured data that has presented new ... -
Reactor reconfiguration for enhanced performance of a down-flow expanded granular bed reactor (Degbr) for poultry slaughterhouse treatment
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2017)The poultry industry is one of the largest industries in the South African agricultural sector. To sustain their various operations, this industry utilises a large quantity of potable water to process slaughtered birds in ... -
Reading practices in two urban multi-grade foundation phase classes
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2015)In Africa, throughout the history of schooling, many teachers have been confronted by the demanding situation of teaching two or more year groups in the same classroom although data on this multi-grade phenomenon is scarce. ... -
Real-time decision support systems in a selected big data environment
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2016)The emergence of big data (BD) has rendered existing conventional business intelligence (BI) tools inefficient and ineffective for real-time decision support systems (DSS). The inefficiency and ineffectiveness is perceived ... -
Real-time detection of attendance at a venue using mobile devices
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2017)The implosion of the mobile phones, mobile applications and social media in recent years has triggered a great interest for more dedicated user-generated contents. Mobile users being the focal point, these modern virtual ... -
Real-time loss-less data compression
(Cape Technikon, 2000)Data stored on disks generally contain significant redundancy. A mechanism or algorithm that recodes the data to lessen the data size could possibly double or triple the effective data that could be stored on the media. ... -
Real-time probabilistic reasoning system using Lambda architecture
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2019)The proliferation of data from sources like social media, and sensor devices has become overwhelming for traditional data storage and analysis technologies to handle. This has prompted a radical improvement in data management ... -
Real-time state estimation of a distributed electrical power system under conditions of deregulation
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2010)Static state estimation is a mathematical procedure in which physical measurements from sub-stations and physical model are combined in an optimal way. That is, the measurements obtained from the sub-stations are used ... -
Realignment of public relations in the value chain for improved organisational ethics in South Africa
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2008)There is little doubt that public relations faces an identity crisis threatening to relegate this troubled organisational function permanently to the sidelines, unless it succeeds in reinventing itself. Such reinvention ... -
Reconfigurable photovoltaic modules for robust nanosatellite power systems
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2018)Until recently, the focus of most solar technology development for space was towards more efficient, more radiation-resistant and increasingly powerful arrays. During a space mission, solar cells are not only exposed to ... -
Recovery of impregnated gold from waste mine timber through biological degradation
(Cape Technikon, 2000)The large quantities of wood chips produced at mines from damaged underground timber contain gold that cannot be completely recovered by cyanidation. A fungus that can degrade a portion of the wood matrix will allow the ... -
Recovery of metal cyanides using a fluidized bed of resin
