A geochemical study of diamonds from Cullinan diamond mine, South Africa
The Cullinan kimberlite is a Group I kimberlite and is located in the northeastern region of the Kaapvaal Craton, South Africa. The kimberlite pipe has been dated at 1180 ± 30 Ma and intrudes the Bushveld Igneous Complex (2.05 Ga). This study explores the geochemistry of a suite of one hundred …

On the structure of geometries with spinor-type connexion
The aim of this thesis is to present a synthesis, using standard techniques of algebra and of differential geometry, of some of the principal ideas and structures of the classical fieldtheoretic description of spinor fields in curved space-time. A geometric model for spinor fields in curved …

Strategies to prevent potentially inappropriate prescribing and adverse drug reactions in older patients
INTRODUCTION: Potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP) is a major contributor to adverse drug reactions and overall increased healthcare costs. The aim of this thesis was to identify, develop and implement strategies with the potential to prevent PIP and ADRs in older patients. METHODS: A …

Utilising machine learning techniques on simulated viral evolution datasets to improve viral recombinant identification
This thesis explores machine learning applications for enhancing viral recombination detection. Using SANTA-SIM-generated viral evolution data, multiple computational approaches were developed and evaluated against existing methods in the Recombination Detection Program (RDP5). The study trained …

Implementation of Bivariate Unspanned Stochastic Volatility Models
Unspanned stochastic volatility term structure models have gained popularity in the literature. This dissertation focuses on the challenges of implementing the simplest case – bivariate unspanned stochastic volatility models, where there is one state variable controlling the term structure, and one …

The invincible defeat of a violent innocent : entertaining paradox and paranoia in the therapy of a borderline patient
In this thesis I use the case study to understand and interpret the manifested transference-countertransference anxiety in the therapy as it was expressed largely through the patient's and the therapist's paranoia. The experience of the sense of aliveness and deadness in the therapeutic hour, and …

Control of carbon nanotube stiffness via tunable fabrication process parameters that determine CNT geometry
This paper presents tunable process parameters that may be used to control the geometry of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The results may be used to grow MWCNTs with desired stiffness properties. This is important to devices that rely on the compliance of MWCNTs in order to achieve …

Design and fabrication of precision carbon nanotube-based flexural transducers
As mechanical devices move towards the nanoscale, smaller and more sensitive force and displacement sensors need to be developed. Currently, many biological, materials science, and nanomanufacturing applications could benefit from multi-axis micro- and nanoscale sensors with fine force and …
