  • Description: Newspaper article: "Plant may send spire toppling. Few of the people who attend services at Grahamstown's historical Methodist Commemoration Church know that one of the five spires which top the old building is in danger of being destroyed - by a plant. The plant, a wild fig which takes root in any foreign substance and grows without soil, is slowly sending its long, leaf-tipped shoots along the delicate cement-work of the spire".

  • Description: Introduction: Part 1. Greenhouse studies were conducted to investigate the absorption of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium by lemon seedlings. The plants were grown in controlled nutrient solutions and analysis of the plant material was made to determine the relationship between the four cations in the different plant organs. Results of the experiment may be summarized as follows:- The occurrence of leaf burn appeared to be associated with a low calcium content, together with a high sodium, potassium or sodium + potassium content. The development of the seedlings was shown to be markedly influenced by the level of calcium supply and to a much lesser degree by the level of potassium supplied. The concentration of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium in the stem and leaf varied with position of the tissues on the main axis. The level of sodium was found to influence the distribution of sodium in the leaves, and the sodium content of the leaf, stem and root tissues gave a good reflection of the level of sodium supplied. The effect of the sodium treatment on the uptake of potassium appeared to be dependent on the calcium content of the tissues. Sodium treatment was found not to affect the leaf calcium content. In the stem and root tissues the calcium content was reduced when the calcium level in the nutrient medium was low, and increased the calcium content of these two tissues at the higher level of calcium supply. The sodium supply was shown to reduce the leaf magnesium only slightly, and its affect on the magnesium content of the stem and root tissues was shown to be dependent on the level of calcium supplied. The potassium content of the leaves, stems and roots increased when the supply of potassium was raised. Increasing the potassium level in the nutrient supply was found to cause a very slight reduction in the sodium content of the leaf, but did not affect the sodium content of the stem and root. Potassium did not affect the calcium content of the leaves and increased the stem calcium when sodium was not present in the nutrient media in high concentrations. In the roots potassium only increase the calcium content at the upper level of calcium supply. The magnesium content of the leaf and stem tissues was reduced as the potassium supply was increased. In the roots the general trend was for the magnesium content to increase when the level of potassium treatment was raised. The calcium content of all the plant parts increased with a rise in the calcium supply, the stem and root tissues having a greater percentage increase than the leaves. The sodium content of the plant tissue was reduced as the level of calcium supply was raised. The leaf potassium content decreased with a higher calcium level of supply. In the stem and roots the potassium content was increased by doubling the calcium supply. The calcium treatment had no influence on the magnesium content of the foliage, but in the stem and root tissues a decrease in magnesium content resulted from an increase in the calcium supply. Part II Potato tuber tissue and carrot root tissue were used as experimental material in the investigation of sodium9 potassium9 and calcium uptake by storage tissue. It was shown that when the tissue disks are transferred from distilled water to a solution of salts there is a rapid initial uptake of cation which is neither particularly selective, nor related to metabolism, but dependent on the external concentration. On the other hand, the prolonged active accumulation of cation exhibits selectivity. Potassium absorption by potato tuber tissue was shown to be stimulated by sodium9 whereas the potassium and calcium absorption by carrot root tissue was shown to be reduced by sodium. Similarly the sodium absorption by the carrot root tissue was reduced by potassium, thus suggesting that the cations compete with one another for the same absorption mechanism.

  • Description: 1. This thesis is an ecological study of a South African water storage reservoir and it’s tributary streams. 2. A brief description of the reservoir, the surrounding vegetation, superficial geological strata, soils and early history of the reservoir is given in Chapter I. 3. The surrounding vegetation is discussed in some detail in Chapter II. The zonation of the plants and the influence of water upon it are discussed. 4. The results of the regular investigations of the physicochemical environment are presented in Appendix 1 and the salient points noted in Chapter III. 5. The species of algae collected are listed in Appendix 2 and in Chapter IV are discussed in relation to habitat and abundance. 6. The animals are dealt with in a similar manner in Chapter V. Under 'Discussion and Conclusions' in Chapter VI an attempt is made to review the findings and discuss their significance.

A study of the heroine in certain Victorian novels

  • Description: During the reign of Queen Victoria was seen the gradual emergence of the emancipated woman. The idea that women were innocent beings who must be kept from real knowledge of the world died hard, however, and to the end of the era there were many who repudiated the very concept of emancipation whether in literature or life. Coupled with the chivalrous, idealistic concept of womanhood was Victorian respectability, and it is not surprising that in the earlier Victorian novels we see clearly the idealistic concept of women and the effects of the cult of respectability. To illustrate my theme, of the gradual change in the concept of the novel which naturally kept pace, more or less, with the progress the emancipation of women was making, I have chosen one novel from each of seven great Victorian novelists whose works span the whale era. The only exception I have made is with Charlotte Bronte. In her case the heroines of two of her novels are discussed mainly because she is the first Victorian novelist to sound a note of protest against the then conventional concept of the heroine.
