Mining the Herschel-Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey: submillimetre-selected blazars in equatorial fields
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
The Herschel-Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey (H-ATLAS) provides an unprecedented
opportunity to search for blazars at sub-mm wavelengths. We cross-matched the Faint
Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-cm (FIRST) ...
The effect of PtRuIr nanoparticle crystallinity in electrocatalytic methanol oxidation
(MDPI, 2013)
Two structural forms of a ternary alloy PtRuIr/C catalyst, one amorphous and one highly crystalline, were synthesized and compared to determine the effect of their respective structures on their activity and stability as ...
HerMES: Candidate gravitationally lensed galaxies and lensing statistics at submillimeter wavelengths
(American Astronomical Society, 2013)
Gravitational lensing increases the angular size and integrated flux of affected sources. It is exploited to investigate the mass distribution of the foreground lensing structures and the properties of the background lensed ...
Thermal conductivity and temperature profiles of the micro porous layers used for the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell
(Elsevier, 2013)
The thermal conductivity and the thickness change with pressure of several different
micro porous layers (MPL) used for the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC)
were measured. The MPL were made with different ...
Annual report 2012
(Institute for Poverty Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS), 2013)
In much of the global South the instability in global financial
systems continued to have dire effects – and there were
many worrying signs that the serious food price inflation the
world experienced in 2008 would return. ...
Race, gender and socio-economic status in law enforcement in South Africa – are there worrying signs?
(Community Law Centre, University of the Western Cape, 2013)
In the South African context the right to equality has particular significance given the country’s history of statutory unfair racial discrimination. This paper investigates, based on quantitative data, how different ...
The disjunctures of land and agricultural reform in South Africa: Implications for the agri-food system
(Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies, University of the Western Cape, 2013-08)
Land reform was introduced in South Africa in the 1990s to redress the injustices of colonialism
and apartheid. But compromises in the transition to democracy saw a trade-off between political
participation on one side ...
Self-catalytic growth of tin oxide nanowires by chemical vapor deposition process
(Hindawi, 2013)
We report on the synthesis of tin oxide (SnO2) nanowires by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. Commercially bought
SnO nanopowders were vaporized at 1050∘C for 30 minutes with argon gas continuously passing through ...
Reviewing evidence of marine ecosystem change off South Africa
(National Inquiry Services Centre, 2013)
Recent changes have been observed in South African marine ecosystems. The main pressures on these
ecosystems are fishing, climate change, pollution, ocean acidification and mining. The best long-term datasets are
for trends ...
A scan of rural civil society
(Institute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies, University of the Western Cape, 2013)
PLAAS commissioned Phuhlisani to undertake
a review of rural civil society, to explore
innovative ways in which researchers and
organisations in rural civil society can work
together in linking research to policy ...
