The alkaloids of the Amaryllidaceae : the isolation and structures of two new alkaloids from Haemanthus natalensis and Nerine krigeii and contributions to the chemistry of coccinine : the absolute configuration of alkaloids based on the 5:10b-Ethanophenanthridine nucleus.
(1960)No abstract available. -
Field and model studies of the nearshore circulation.
(1967)Investigations into the characteristics and underlying mechanism of the circulation of water near the shore are reported. The two main types of circulation, one a cellular system resulting from Haves propagated nearly ... -
The chemistry of river waters with special reference to the rivers of Natal.
(1969)No abstract available. -
Studies of some new Euphorbiaceae diterpenes.
(1971)The heartwoods of two species of South African Euphorbiaceae have been chemically investigated. From Cleistanthus schlechteri three new diterpenes possessing the hitherto unknown ent-isopimara-8(14),15-diene skeleton ... -
The chemistry of novel diterpenes from androstachys johnsonii Prain.

The morphology of radiation damage in copper irradiated with neutrons at elevated temperatures.
(1977)This thesis is an investigation of the radiation damage morphology of high purity copper crystals irradiated with fast neutrons at temperatures in the range of 250C to 4OO C. At these high temperatures neutron damage ... -
Aurora and associated VLF phenomena.
(1978)Observations have been made at Sanae (gm. lat. -63,71°) on occurring auroral forms, (diffuse and pulsating aurora), and simultaneous occurring VLF phenomena, (whistlers and auroral hiss) . Two studies ... -
Theoretical studies of the crossfield current-driven ion acoustic instability.
(1979)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Sound transmission analysis by sound intensimetry.
(1985)This thesis represents the development and evaluation of a theory for sound transmission analysis by sound intensimetry. In the context of this study sound transmission analysis is understood to embrace the following: (1) ... -
A study of the 90Zr(n,d)89Y reaction.
(1986)A study has been made of the 90 Zr(n,d) 89 Y reactlion at an incident neutron energy of 22 MeV. The experimental aspect of the study was performed at the Van der Graaf facility at the National Accelerator Centre, ... -
The crossfield current-driven ion acoustic instability in a two-ion plasma.
(1987)The behaviour of the crossfield current-driven ion acoustic instability in a plasma containing two ion species is theoretically examined. In our model the electrons are assumed to be hot and the ions cold, i.e. Tₑ »Tᵢ (~ ... -
Nuclear structure studies with (n,d) reactions.
(1988)The ²⁷AI(n,d)²⁶Mg and ⁵⁶Fe(n,d)⁵⁵Mn reactions have been studied at 22 MeV incident energy. The 6MV Van de Graaff facility at the National Accelerator Centre, Faure was used for the experimental aspects. An (n, charged ... -
Profile analysis of X-ray powder diffraction data.
(1988)Various strategies have been tested for obtaining integrated intensities from x-ray powder diffractometer data. An asymmetric pseudo-Voigt profile function was used to fit the pattern in the region above 2θ = 35̊ (Cu-Kα ... -
Toxic compounds in cycads.
(1990)The present-day cycads comprise the diverse, modified, remnants of a much larger group of gymnosperms which flourished in the Mezozoic era. The systematic position that the cycads occupy in the botanical hierarchy is ...
