Using violet laser-induced chlorophyll fulorescence emission spectra for crop yield assessment of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L) Walp) varieties

Anderson, Benjamin; Buah-Bassuah, Paul K; Tetteh, Jonathan P (University of Cape Coast, 2004-05-28)

The use of violet laser-induced chlorophyll fuorescence (LICF) emission spectra to monitor the growth of fve varieties of cowpea in the University of Cape Coast Botanical Garden is presented. Radiation from a continuous-wave ...
The relationship between capital structure measures and financial performance: Evidence from Ghana

Mireku, Kwame; Mensah, Samuel (University of Cape Coast, 2014-05-22)

One of the areas that has been a focus of intense debate when it comes to capital structure research is whether to use the book value or market value of capital structure as the accurate measure of financial leverage (Salehi ...

The effect of practical work and motivation on students’ desire to study stem subjects

Amponsah, I.K. Vorsah; Addo-Mensah, D.; Anokye, M.; Babah, R.; Etsiwah, I. (University of Cape Coast, 2019)

STEM is the foundation of all disciplines, yet fewer students are interested in pursuing such subjects due to fear and ‘difficulty’ associated with them. The Ghana Association of University Women (GAUW), the Ghana branch ...
The differential and delay differential approach in the analysis of stable state equilibrium prices using characteristic equation techniques

Anokye, Martin; Amankwah, Henry; Essel, Emmanuel Kwame; Amponsah, Irene Kafui (University of Cape Coast, 2018)

The study compares the stability states of price adjustment differential models with and without delay parameter using roots of characteristic equations. The states of stability of both models were simulated using their ...
The attributes of mathematics learning which Ghanaian senior high school students value

Davis, Ernest Kofi; Seah, Wee Tiong; Tiong, Wee; Howard, Nathaniel; Wilmot, Eric Magnus (University of Cape Coast, 2019)

Valuing constitutes an important aspect of mathematics pedagogy and hence student learning outcomes. This study surveyed 416 students from Cape Coast, Ghana to explore what senior high school students in this country in ...
Study on the knowledge of women on the effect of alcohol consumption on the fetus in Elmina-Ghana

Amponsah, Irene Kafui Vorsah; Foli, Boso; Nii Ayitey, Hammond R. D. (University of Cape Coast, 2019)

The study seeks to find out women’s knowledge on alcohol consumption and its effects on the fetus. Women in Elimina who have children or currently pregnant within ages of 15-45 years were interviewed. The snowball sampling ...
Simulating a single-server queue using the Q – Simulator

Amponsah, Irene K.; Gordor, Bennony K.; Dogbey, Francis (University of Cape Coast, 2012)

This paper introduces a technique for simulating a single-server exponential queuing system. The technique called the Q-Simulator is a computer program which can simulate the effect of traffic intensity on all system average ...
Rainfall variability over Ghana: Model versus rain gauge observation

Klutse, Nama Ama Browne; Adukpo, David Cudjoe; Owusu, Kwadwo; Quagraine, Kwesi Akumenyi (University of Cape Coast, 2012)

This paper used the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) Regional Climate Model, Version 3 (RegCM3) and rain gauge data selected from the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) from 1990 to 2008 to investigate ...
Probabilistic graphical modelling of causal effects among the occurrences of transcription factors in DNA sequence

Kallah-Dagadu, G.; Nkansah, B. K.; Howard, N. (University of Cape Coast, 2018)

Genome mapping of transcription factor targeted by ChIP jointly with microarrays or sequencing procedures is a powerful instrument for laying a foundation for understanding transcriptional regulatory networks. Hence the ...
On the one-outlier displaying component

Nkansah, B.K.; Gordor, B.K. (University of Cape Coast, 2012)

A method of displaying an outlier in a multivariate data set is the Outlier Displaying Component. This method is based on the sample mean vector and the sum of squares and cross- product matrix. The main weakness of this ...
On the detection of influential outliers in linear regression analysis

Zakaria, Arimiyaw; Howard, Nathaniel Kwamina; Nkansah, Bismark Kwao (University of Cape Coast, 2014-07-30)

In this paper, we propose a measure for detecting influential outliers in linear regression analysis. The performance of the proposed method, called the Coefficient of Determination Ratio (CDR), is then compared with some ...
Nonparametric Stepwise Procedure for Identification of Maximum Safe Dose (MSD)

Adjabui, Michael J.; Howard, Nathaniel K.; Luguterah, Albert 2017 (University of Cape Coast, 2017-09-21)

In this article we consider identification of maximum safe dose (MSD) in a dose response study for distribution-free endpoints. Where the maximum safe dose is the highest dose level that does not exceed the median toxicity ...
Non-linearities, structural breaks and fractional integration in the analysis of the Ghanaian and the South African CPI inflation rates

Boateng, Alexander; Lesaoana, Maseka; Siweya, Hlengani; Belete, Abenet; Gil-Alana, Luis A. (University of Cape Coast, 2018)

Keeping a low steady rate of inflation is one of the government’s most important responsibilities. Inflation is an important determinant of economic growth. Consequently, it has been one of the most examined areas in ...
Nonlinear acoustoelectric effect in a semiconductor superlattice

Mensah, S Y; Allotey, F.K.A; Mensah, N. G. (University of Cape Coast, 2000)

The acoustoelectric effect in a semiconductor superlattice (SL) has been studied for a hypersound in the region ql 1 (where q is the acoustic wave number and l is the electron mean free path). A nonlinear dependence of ...
Multiscale analysis of landscape data sets from Northern Ghana: Wavelets and pattern metrics

Howard, Nathaniel Kwamina (University of Cape Coast, 2005)
Volatility model choice for Sub-saharan frontier equity markets – A Markov regime switching Bayesian approach

Korkpoe, Carl Hope; Howard, Nathaniel (University of Cape Coast, 2019)

We adopt a granular approach to estimating the risk of equity returns in sub-Saharan African frontier equity markets under the assumption that, returns are influenced by developments in the underlying economy. Four countries ...
Modelling age at first marriage among Ghanaians in Urban Southern Ghana

Howard, N.; Sackey, R.; Nkansah, B. K. (University of Cape Coast, 2018)

The paper obtains models for determining age at first marriage (AFM) among Ghanaians in urban southern Ghana. Logistic regression models are developed for determining marriage under various circumstances and socio-economic ...
LQAS in Health Monitoring – Insights from a Bayesian Perspective

Mensah, David Kwamena; Hewson, Paul (University of Cape Coast, 2014)

Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) is strongly advocated for use in monitoring the health status of populations, largely in the developing world. It is advocated both for the monitoring of small areas as well as for ...
Long memory and arfima modelling: the case of CPI inflation rate in Ghana

Boateng, Alexander; Gil-Alana, Luis Alberiko; ‘Maseka, Lesaoana; Siweya, Hlengani; Belete, Abenet (University of Cape Coast, 2016)

In macroeconomic theory and economic policy, changes in the general price level or the rate of inflation plays an essential role. Hence, for example, one of the motives behind the adoption of Inflation Targeting policy ...
