Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2010.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa has a mean annual precipitation far lower than the global average. This is a fundamental constraint to development, especially when the country has already run out of surplus water and dilution capacity. To add further pressure, Southern Africa’s water resources are expected to decrease as a result of climate change. Despite the potential devastation, the country’s response to climate change has been limited. South Africa’s energy sector is dominated by coal power stations and is the country’s primary emitter

Bibliography: p. 173-182.<br>The objective of this dissertation was to investigate compressed air energy storage as an alternative generation capacity for the South African electricity industry. In chapter one, an introduction to energy storage, electrical energy storage was introduced as an alternative generation option. Various energy storage technologies were discussed with their characteristics and applications. Compressed air energy storage was identified as a competitive energy storage option to pumped hydro in particular, and a suitable contender for the South African electricity market

Abstract:
The post-1994 democratic dispensation was presented with a challenge of how to improve equity of access for the incoming Black majority in institutions of higher learning (Cloete and Moja, 2005; Badat, 2010). Democratization of access to institutions of higher learning led to what has been called a “revolution” in the student demographics of higher education institutions in South Africa (Cloete and Moja, 2005). Many of the new entrants, particularly those entering historically white institutions, are from working backgrounds and are the first in their families to have the opportunity obtain a

Abstract:
Magister Scientiae - MSc (Earth Science)<br>This study is a first attempt that integrates source rock geochemical evaluation, with analytic and numerical basin-modelling techniques to identify and ascertain the present-day configuration, spatial distributions, characteristics and hydrocarbon generative potentials of existing source rocks within the southern depocenter of the relatively frontier Pletmos sub-basin. Petroleum charge within the basin is proposed to have occurred during most of the Cenozoic Era. The investigation employed a forward modelling approach whereby models were calibrated

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: With the shift to an all-volunteer force and the end of the Cold War, armed forces across the globe are finding it increasingly difficult to attract, recruit and retain the right quantity and quality of recruits in the ranks. Similarly, the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) has expressed difficulties with recruitment but more so with the ability to attract ‘high calibre’ recruits in order to staff a defence force that is disciplined and technologically advanced. Although this is a consequence of various economic,

Abstract:
The use of celebrity endorsers is a popular marketing strategy in many countries. Typically, many marketers believe that using celebrities is a viable marketing strategy for attracting customers, increasing market share and improving sales for their market offerings. The celebrity endorsement strategy using local celebrities is increasing in South Africa. Many South African marketers are now using popular local black celebrities in an attempt to attract the prosperous black emerging middle class, known as Black Diamonds. Black Generation Y students offer great promise to marketers in the South

Abstract:
Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is a DNA virus and belongs to the genus Orthohepadnavirus of the Hepadnaviridae family which represents one of two animal viruses with a DNA genome which replicates by reverse transcription of a viral RNA intermediate. Nucleotide variation led to further sub-classification into 8 genotypes (A to H). The reverse transcription step within its life cycle is prone to the introduction of errors and recombination when dually infected. This leads to a viral quasispecies which forms during the course of infection with many minor population variants; such variants can how

Abstract:
This thesis is a reception analysis using qualitative interviews to investigate black students' watching of a South African soap opera, Generations, taking into account the context of a largely white South African university campus. The findings of this study are that students find pleasure in talking about Generations and hold seemingly contradictory views on whether it is 'realistic' or not. The analysis concludes that watching Generations does serve to affirm these students' black identity, since there is a particular need to do so on a campus where black students witness and experience rac

Abstract:
Retaining and developing high potential managers as part of a leadership pipeline is a critical aspect for business, and understanding not only the strengths these managers bring, but also how they derail and how interventions could be tailored to avoid derailment, or at least lessen the impact, is imperative for sustainable growth. The aim of the research is to highlight differences, if any, between gender and generations, in order to ascertain whether unique developmental programmes or derailment interventions would be required based on an individual's gender and age.
