- Description: In a famous paper of 1931, Gödel proved that any formalization of elementary Arithmetic is incomplete, in the sense that it contains statements which are neither provable nor disprovable. Some two years before this, Presburger proved that a mutilated system of Arithmetic, employing only addition but not multiplication, is complete. This essay is partly an exposition of a system such as Presburger's, and partly an attempt to gain insight into the source of the incompleteness of Arithmetic, by linking Presburger's result with Gödel's.

- Description: From Introduction: Collagenases are enzymes capable of specifically attacking the native collagen helix under non-denaturing conditions at physiological conditions of pH, temperature and salt concentration. They are active only on collagen or its breakdown products and are without effect on any other fibrous or globular protein. In the laboratory, collagenases are used in investigations of the biosynthesis of collagen and for structural and immunochemical studies of collagens and collagen-like proteins; also they are proving their worth as agents for facilitating tissue transplantation and for cell-dispersion in tissue cultures . Established clinical applications of collagenases include the treatment of burns and dermal lesions; in addition they are being evaluated as agents for the removal of undesirable tissues such as herniated intervertebral discs and the sloughs resulting from cryogenic or cauterizing procedures. Moreover, as human collagenases are implicated in various pathological disorders involving connective tissue degradation, the roles played by these collagenases are being investigated in the hope of finding ways to arrest, control or treat the diseases.

- Description: Tick borne diseases of livestock are among the most important factors which have retarded economic development in many parts of Africa. Modification of the environment due to the expansion of agriculture into previously undeveloped areas, together with the introduction of livestock, has disturbed the natural balance which existed between ticks and indigenous hosts. Many tick species have adapted to domestic stock, and in some instances have spread over large areas which were previously uninfested. A number of tick species which are parasitic on domestic stock, eg. Amblyomma hebraeum Koch, 1844, Boophilus decoloratus (Koch, 1844), Rhipicephalus evertsi Neumann, 1897 and Rhipicephalus appendiculatus Netunann, 1901, are vectors of pathogenic micro-organisms. Unlike indigenous hosts however, domestic stock have no innate immunity to tickborne diseases. Intro., p. 1.

Although it is, of course, hardly possible completely to ignore these other aspects in any institutional study.

- Description: Preface: The arrival of the 1820 Settlers in South Africa and their impact on the political and social life of the Cape Colony has been well covered by historical research. This work is an attempt to illuminate yet another area in which their impact was felt. The failure of the settlement scheme under which these people were introduced into the colony has tended to detract from the importance which agriculture played in the early years of their residence in South Africa. The failure of the first crops may well have ended the attempts by many to establish themselves on the land but for others it was the beginning of a process of adaptation to the agricultural conditions of a new country. In this they were remarkably successful and within a decade the English farming community of the eastern frontier was prospering. The theme of this work traces the progress of these farmers through the initial period of crop failures, which condemned the settlement in the eyes of many, and through the ensuing years and later misfortune, the Sixth Frontier war of 1834-35. Both these setbacks were very significant in moulding the development of agriculture as practised by these farmers. In the past, historians have tended to over-estimate the reverse suffered by these farmers during this frontier war. The seemingly paradoxical questions raised by the rapid recovery of this community after the war have been left largely unanswered. Some attempt is made in the pages which follow to shed new light on this issue. In the first three chapters of this work the letters written by Thomas Philipps to his family in Britain form the chief source of information. Much of this correspondence has already found wider publication in a volume edited by Arthur Keppel-Jones, but there are significant omissions, particularly with regard to Philipps' commentary on agricultural matters. Unfortunately, this series of letters ends in 1830, and the chief sources for the latter period of this work are the various entries made) on agricultural matters, in the Graham's Town Journal, together with the farm diary of James Collett, another frontier farmer. From these, and various other works, it has been possible to trace the major developments of this farming community.

The development of a morphometric model for the estimation of mean annual sediment yield in ungauged catchments of South African river systems

- Description: Hydrologists are regularly faced with the unenviable task of having to predict the magnitude and frequency of phenomena such as floods and droughts; and rates of erosion. If long records are available for analysis the hydrologist is able to base his predictions on the premise that the pattern of variation that has been observed in the past will persist in the future. The confidence that can be placed in any estimate consequently depends to a large extent on the length of time over which the phenomena have been measured at the problem site. Unfortunately the availability of adequate records tends to be the exception rather than the rule and in areas where there is inadequate data, it is necessary to resort to the hazardous procedure of transferring information from the gauged to the ungauged catchments. The transfer of information is accomplished by using empirical methods based on regionalised parameters, but the uncertainties involved together with the economic implications that could arise from a poor estimate, prompt the hydrologist to use as many methods as possible. The need for empirical methods of estimating mean annual sediment yield in ungauged catchments was first appreciated by the author when he was involved in the estimation of design floods and sediment accumulation at sites for proposed reservoirs. Empirical methods of estimating sediment yield are frequently used in an engineering context, but little attention has been given to the catchment surface from which the sediment supply is derived. It is perhaps in this often neglected field of research that the physical geographer can make a contribution. The principal aim of the thesis, more fully discussed in Chapter I, was the development of a morphometric model which could be used to estimate mean annual sediment yield in ungauged catchments in South Africa. The data used in the development of the model were drawn from the catchments, described in Appendix A, that cover a wide range of climate and topography. A description of the approaches adopted by other researchers for the development of empirical models of estimating sediment yield which forms the background to the model has been included as Appendix B. The model was first developed in an elementary form as the focus of a research project which was documented in the form of three reports of research in progress (Roberts, 1973 a, b and c). Analysis of the pattern of variation of suspended sediment yield provided a better understanding of factors affecting sediment yield and supported the selection of the prediction variable (Horton's P ratio) which was used in the model. The concepts of network topology were utilised to gain insight into the environmental factors controlling both the P ratio and sediment yield. Reasons for the high correlation between the P ratio and sediment yield are suggested but it is felt that further research should be focused on this aspect. In order not to break the continuity and development of the steps taken in the derivation of the model details of the calculations are collected in Appendices C, D and E. While many of the figures and tables presented in the thesis appeared in technical notes prepared entirely by the author for the Department of Water Affairs, the views expressed in the thesis do not in any way, either explicitly or by implication, represent any official view or policy of the Department of Water Affairs.

- Description: 1. Twenty four species of the genus Sisyphus known in southern Africa are listed with their synonyms and their taxonomy is discussed. 2. A key to the adults of 23 of these species is given. 3. The known distribution of 23 species and seasonal occurrence of 19 species are illustrated and briefly discussed. 4. The general biology of the genus Sisyphus is discussed and the major behavioural and biological differences between the two subgenera Sisyphus and Neosisyphus are given. 5. The laboratory and field investigation into variations in behaviour and biology in eight species occurring in the Mkuzi Game Reserve, with regards to interspecific competition, is presented. 6. The known possible natural enemies of Sisyphus are mentioned and the extent of competition from other genera, based on field and laboratory observations, is outlined. 7. Summary tables of all data with a final tabulated evaluation of the suitability of species for introduction into Australia is given. 8. Nine species have been highly recommended for Australia. Six more species could be considered but most of these still need further investigation. The remaining nine species were found to be unsuitable for transfer to Australia.

- Description: Over 1OO phonolite bodies of mid-Tertiary age occur in the Klinghardt Mountains, 1OO km SE of Luderitz in Southern South West Africa the only published account of these rocks is that of Kaiser (1926) who gives a generalized map and describes briefly the mode of occurrence and petrography of the phonolites. The phonolite bodies are concentrated in an area roughly 8OO km2 and constitute an excellent example of an areal volcanic field (Rittmann, 1962), i.e. the activity occurred at a number of vents spread over a wide area and in most cases only a single eruptive episode took place at each vent.
