The Solar Tracker has been developed at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. It is an efficient mechanism for positioning a solar collector to track the sun. This device is adept to intermittent adjustment of the position of a solar energy collection surface, ensuring that the surface

Livestock Management Database System is a user-driven, holistic and easy-to-use mobile-based solution accessible on smartphones and computers (SaaS). It facilitates direct and two-way real-time communication among farmers, and between farmers and extension services, researchers, and agricultural

The technology integrates melatonin with bio-identical estrogen to counteract the pro tumorigenic effects associated with estrogen. The research conducted demonstrated that combining melatonin with estrogen diminishes estrogen’s proliferative impact on breast cancer cells and attenuates their

Stellenbosch’s solution is a 2-component injectable hydrogel designed to block the vas deferens, thus preventing the passage of sperm cells. Unlike a vasectomy, this hydrogel is reversible, restoring fertility. The hydrogel is formulated from two aqueous polymer solutions with complementary reactive

PhenoLAB is an online web-based analyses platform and database for wine producers. PhenoLAB incorporates highly accurate, extensive and robust analyses methods based on absorbency values for determining tannins, colour density, anthocyanins and total phenolics levels in grapes, fermenting must and

The invention relates to compounds for use in the treatment of telomere related diseases and/or telomere related medical conditions, particularly wherein said telomere related diseases and/or telomere related medical conditions are cancer and cellular ageing. Particularly, herein is disclosed 37 kDa

The invention relates to methods for producing gold nanoparticles functionalised with a telomerase substrate, or a linker nucleic acid having a region complementary to a nucleic acid comprising a telomerase substrate, for use in detecting telomerase activity. Functionalised gold nanoparticle

Biosurfactants produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa SB24 (rhamnolipid congeners), Bacillus amyloliquefaciens ST34 (surfactin and bacillomycin L analogues and homologues) and pigmented (P1) and non-pigmented (NP1) Serratia marcescens strains (serratamolide and glucosamine derivative homologues) were

Toxi Trail™ is an educational board game developed at Stellenbosch University to strengthen toxicology knowledge and clinical reasoning among healthcare professionals. Building on earlier game-based learning tools, the design incorporates realistic toxicology scenarios, variable difficulty levels

Many filtration systems overlook a major issue for oxygen-sensitive liquids like wine: oxidation during transfer and filtration. Even small amounts of oxygen can degrade quality. This apparatus provides a closed, inert-gas-pressurized filtration system that keeps wine fully protected from oxygen

A cadaver dissection table that consists of a long tray designed to hold a cadaver. The tray has openings for fluid drainage and an angled section at one end. The table also has ventilation holes angled toward the flat part of the tray where the cadaver rests. Below the tray is a long bath, and
