Classification of Selected Anti-malarial Herbal Drugs Using Laser-induced Autofluorescence (Liaf) Combined With Multivariate Data Analysis

Rabbi, Boateng (Universtity of Cape Coast, 2021-07)

ABSTRACT Laser-induced autofluorescence (LIAF) was used to characterize and classify some selected commercial anti-malarial herbal drugs (AMHDs) to avoid sample destruction. Results from deconvoluted peaks of the LIAF ...
Comparative Studies of Crude Oils From Some Selected oil Fields in Ghana Using Spectroscopic Techniques

Gafrey, Calvin Kwesi (UCC, 2020-10)

Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (ED-XRF) and Non-destructive Gamma spectroscopic (NDGS) techniques are the modern spectroscopic techniques used in analysing crude oil samples around ...
Comparison of phonon-plasmon interaction in selected nanoparticle doped bulk and monolayer piezoelectric semiconductors in the presence of combined dc-ac fields

Otwey, Richard (UCC, 2020-10)

As semiconductor plasma medium experiences the spread of an acoustic wave, the wave reacts with several basic excitations. An example of such excitations is plasmon. In such a reaction in the presence of certain physical ...
Designed and Developed Low Cost Raman Spectroscopic System

Huzortey, Andrew Atiogbe (Universtity of Cape Coast, 2016-04)

ABSTRACT Raman spectroscopy (RS) is a well-known optical technique for the study of molecular constituents of samples. However, many RS systems designed are usually immobile, quite cumbersome, and/or relatively expensive ...
Detectionof trace gas (water vapour) using quantum cascade laser open - path system (qclops) version 2 sensor and the analysis of smoke from some selected wood species

Amuah, Charles Lloyd Yeboah (University of Cape Coast, 2011-06)

A Quantum Cascade Laser Open-Path System (QCLOPS) version 2 sensor has been set-up and used to measure water vapour in the troposphere. The QCLOPS version 2 sensor was compared with a commercial humidity sensor. A positive ...
Development of a methodology for estimation of leaf area using the beta mass absorption coefficient of the leaf

Amewode, Emmanuel Kofi (University of Cape Coast, 2010-09)

Leaf area measurement can bea time consuming process and may require sophisticated electronic instruments. The objective of this research was to develop a simple, and less time consuming method for leafarea (LA) ...
Diode laser spectroscopic studies of biological materials using absorption and emission techniques

Anderson, Benjamin (University of Cape Coast, 2010-03)

Two diode lasers with optical spectroscopic properties for absorption and emission spectroscopy have been used as sources in the study of economically important biological materials. In the emission spectroscopy a fluorosensor ...
Dynamic analysis of the West African Monsoon and its variability over Ghana

Nkrumah, Francis (University of Cape Coast, 2014-06)

In this study, the International Center for Theoretical Physics’ Regiona l Climate Model Version 4 (RegCM4) is used over the period 1998-2010, to study the dynamics of rainfall over West Africa. The study also attempts to ...
Estimation of global solar radiation in selected synoptic stations in Ghana

Wussah, Barrett Samuel Teye (University of Cape Coast, 2014-07)

The global solar radiation potential of eight Synoptic Meteorological Stations in Ghana was reported in this study. Five stations were selected from the Northern belt, mostly made up of Sudan Savanna and Guinea Savanna ...

Yunus, Shemmira (University of Cape Coast, 2020-07)

Fabrication of a prototype membrane filter for drinking water purification assisted By Comsol Multiphysics Simulations
Fatigue Damage Assessment of Face Centred Cubic (FCC) Metals & Alloys

Owusu-Korkor, Osei (University of Cape Coast, 1997)

Cyclic fatigue tests were conducted at low and high temperatures on annealed and polished samples of polycrystalline Copper, Alpha-brass, Aluminium, Mild steel (0.25 %C) and Stainless steel (18Cr-8Ni) with grain sizes of ...
A fibre optical system for reflectance measurement of plane surfaces

Esson, Sheila (university of cape coast, 2011-03)

A simple fibre optical design for reflectance measurements of plane surfaces has been developed and tested. The reflectance system was standardized with a PF10-03-P01-Plane mirror. Average reflectance from the plane mirror ...
Investigating the dynamics and drivers of extreme rainfall in Ghana

Berkoh-Oforiwaa, Rebecca (University of Cape Coast, 2019-06)

Daily rainfall data from Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) rain gauge network was analysed to identify extreme rainfall events in Ghana. The data was first processed in order to remove all errors in the observational ...
Investigating the Effect of El-nino and La-nina on Precipitation in the Coastal Belts of Ghana

Kojo, Kwao John Einstein (Universtity of Cape Coast, 2022-06)

ABSTRACT The research is carried out to investigate the effect of El Nino and La Nina events of oceans and seas on the rainfall of the coastal belts of Ghana. The study is done by analysing the global Oceanic Nino Indices ...
Multispectral imaging of plasmodium falciparum infected and uninfected sickle disease and sickle trait red blood cells
