Abstract:

The whale shark (Rhincodon typus) has a global distribution in warm to warm temperate oceans, and is a species of high conservation concern currently categorized as Endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. Despite its dire conservation status and concerns about the growing number of ecotourism interactions with this species worldwide, relatively little information is available on key aspects of whale shark biology such as growth rates, reproductive rates, survival rates and breeding habitats. In particular, critical information such as age and growth of

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

Field surveys and biomonitoring network experiments were conducted in selected areas in South Africa to assess possible air pollution damage to vegetation. During field surveys, atmospheric fluoride was identified as an important pollutant that damaged vegetation in residential areas north of Cape Town. Gaseous air pollutants, including acid deposition and acidic mist, probably play a major role in the development of characteristic air pollution injury symptoms observed on pine trees in the Eastern Transvaal area.

South Africa is the most popular international destination for Zimbabwean migrants escaping the economic crisis of their country.

Exploratory or qualitative research methodology was employed based on semistructured interviews with a non-probability sample of 13 respondents.

Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is the most common cause of viral hepatitis worldwide. Infection with HAV is vaccine preventable, however, a vaccine against HAV is not included in the Expanded Programme on Immunization in South Africa (SA). South Africa was considered to be a high endemic country for hepatitis A in the past, hence there was no need for routine immunization against the virus. Our hypothesis is that SA is changing from high to intermediate endemic setting for hepatitis A. To test our hypothesis, we conducted a cross-sectional seroprevalence study in the 1-7 year age group in the Western

Sensitivity is due to a range of factors including higher rates of underlying illness, genetic factors, poor access to health care, or lower socioeconomic status (SES). Spatial distribution of exposure gives rise to disparities in exposure which can lead to higher exposure among people of lower SES. Combining sensitivity and higher exposure compounds the effects of environmental hazards. This is known as envi

Abstract:

This thesis examines the role of music in British-South Asian postcolonial literature, asking how music relates to the possibility of constructing postcolonial identity. The focus is on novels that explore the postcolonial condition in India and the United Kingdom, as well as Pakistan and the United States: Vikram Seth's A Suitable Boy (1993), Amit Chaudhuri's Afternoon Raag (1993), Suhayl Saadi's Psychoraag (2004), Hanif Kureishi's The Buddha of Suburbia (1990) and The Black Album (1995), and Salman Rushdie's The Ground Beneath Her Feet (1999). The analysed novels feature different kinds of m

Abstract:

The wild populations of the Scarlet Macaw subspecies native to southern Mexico and Central America, A. m. cyanoptera, have been drastically reduced over the last half century and are now a major concern to local governments and conservation groups. Programs to rebuild these local populations using captive bred specimens must be careful to reintroduce the native A. m. cyanoptera, as opposed to the South American nominate subspecies (A. m. macao) or hybrids of the two subspecies. Molecular markers for comparative genomic analyses are needed for definitive differentiation. Here I describe the iso

Abstract:

The primary objective of this research was to study the effects of breed, age, season, and their interactions on semen morphological characteristics. The study was done on 329 bulls (271 Friesland and 58 Jersey) aged 12, 24, 36,48, 60, 72, 84, 96 and> 96 months. The collection of semen was carried out using the artificial vagina method in all four seasons of the year. Spermatozoa were screened for the percentages normal sperm, percentage and total major defects such as knobbed acrosome, pyriform, abnormal lose head, dag defects, nuclear vacuole, degenerative heads, mid-piece reflexes, percenta

The purpose of this study is to contribute to better understand the complexity of modern trade relationships by addressing three key issues in the three chapters of this thesis, ordered from the most general to the most specific subject. The first chapter deals with the relationship between productivity level and the internationalization status of firms (importers, exporters, two-ways traders, domestic firms, and Global Value Chain (GVC) members) for a panel of countries located in South America: Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay. In this chapter, a clear difference in t

Abstract:

The 'Beyond' as Bhaba1 (1994:1) conceives it, is "neither a new horizon, nor a leaving behind of the past"; rather it is the borders to the present. These boundaries of the present are the "that from which something begins its essential unfolding", according to Heidegger (1978:356). Unfolding as a consequence of the intersection of time and space, produces complex, as opposed to unitary or reductive, figures of difference and identity in Bhaba's (1994:2) view. It is with these 'complex figure of difference and identity' which enact 'hindsight' to re-describe our cultural contemporane
