ABSTRACT FROM SALISBURY TO HARARE : THE GEOGRAPHY OF PUBLIC AUTHORITY FINANCE UNDER CHANGING IDEOLOGICAL CIRCUMSTANCES This study is based on the assumption that money 'powers the urban system'. Its focus is the geography of public finance in Harare and ideologically inspired change in urban management. The context is the changing circumstances attendant upon the transfer of power from minority White settler colonial rule to Black majority rule in Zimbabwe. The ruling ZANU-PF party professed ...
ABSTRACT This investigation is a case study of landscape architectural design education in South Africa. Current forms of landscape architectural education are influenced by Global North perspectives and often, if not consciously, privilege particular ways of meaningmaking, and exclude or marginalise experiences or ways of knowing that are different. The aim of this research is to develop a landscape architectural pedagogy for diversity that fosters multiple perspectives and valorises resourc...

Abstract 3D cine DENSE MRI: Ventricular segmentation and myocardial strain analysis Daniel Alejandro Auger 11 February 2013 Displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) is a quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique which measures myocardial displacement at a pixel resolution. Regional myocardial strain can then be calculated, providing a useful clinical measure of myocardial function. Right ventricular (RV) function is difficult to quantify because of its asymmetrica...
ABSTRACT Despite the critical relationship between election campaigns and the quality of democracy, it is an understudied phenomenon. Moreover, in South Africa, there has never been a systematic study of an entire election campaign. In this thesis I assess whether the 2004 election campaign hindered or enhanced the quality of South Africa’s democracy. I adapt Lasswell’s model of persuasive communication (which views the source, content, medium, recipient and effect as crucial parts of th...
ABSTRACT Digital-analogue metaphor was a political construct that described the two major competing forces in the 2013 elections: Jubilee and the CORD coalitions of political parties. The study set out to demonstrate the ideological property of metaphor using the digital-analogue metaphorical catch phrase that was adopted by the Jubilee Coalition of political parties. The main objectives of this study were to map out the conceptual bearings of the digital-analogue metaphor as used in the 2013...

Abstract This thesis presents the design and implementation of a signal level simulator supporting a wide variety of radar systems, and focusing on multistatic and netted radars. The simulator places few limits on the simulated system, and supports systems with arbitrary numbers of receivers, transmitters, and scatterers. Similarly, the simulator places no restrictions on the radar waveform to be simulated, and supports pulsed, continuous wave (CW) and carrier-free radar systems. A exible mod...
Abstract Diisopropyl ether (DIPE) was synthesised in a single step from a feed of propylene and water over Amberlyst 15 ion exchange resin catalyst. It was produced in a trickle bed reactor at pressures between 1 bar and 60 bar, at temperatures between 70°C and 160°C and at overall propylene to water ratios between 1 : 5 and 10 : 1. Reaction proceeded in the liquid phase within the catalyst particles. The only reactions that occurred in the system were the hydration of propylene to form is...
ABSTRACT The church is supposed to be a vehicle for crusading and enhancing peace, yet the occurrence of conflicts within the Kenyan church has become a regular occurrence. Efforts have been made to ensure that these conflicts are resolved and part of the strategies is the utilization of pastoral counselling as a way of managing conflicts in the church. However, the effectiveness of the pastoral counselling utilized has not been investigated. The purpose of this study was to investigate how p...
ABSTRACT Among the peoples of Kenya, there has been a cultural and religious revival and all means are being sought to propagate it. In certain circles, there is even a revival of ethnic rites, religious rituals and customs, and there are national efforts to preserve and take pride in ethnic cultures. Councils of elders are being treated with respect and honour as custodians of these cultures and religious beliefs. Generally, there has been a resilience of African Traditional Religion (ATR) a...
Abstract This investigation was undertaken to find the optimum hydraulic fluids and materials for combating cavitation erosion in hydraulic mining machinery operating,on 5:95 oil-in-water emulsions, Controlled cavitation was generated in the laboratory in a vibratory cavitation apparatus employing the stationery specimen system. The influence of separation distance between the drill tip and specimen and of varying medium temperature on cavitation erosion were also investigated but were of sec...
ABSTRACT Replacement of native vegetation by exotic species of higher economic value has a potential ecological impact on detritus-based stream ecosystems. Litter processing and metabolism in streams can be used as an indicator of the functional status of streams. This study was conducted in the upper Mara catchment with a sole objective of determining the effect of land use change on leaf litter decay and metabolism in six first order streams namely: Sambambwet, Mosoriot and Chepkosiom that ...
