An analysis of the recoveries of British-ringed fulmars

MacDonald ., M. A (University of Cape Coast, 1977-02)

Examination of 300 recovery records of Fulmars ringed in Britain allowed the distribution and movements of birds of known age to be described. Biases in the methods of recovery made estimation of mortality impossible. ...
Bird study

Macdonald, M. A (University of Cape Coast, 1977-02)

It is well known that Fulmars from British colonies penetrate north to the Barents Sea and west to Newfoundland and Greenland. This paper investigates the marine range in relation to the age of the birds. © 1977 Taylor and ...
Polymorphism of the tropical butterfly, Danaus chrysippus L., in Africa

Gordon, I.J (The Genetical Society of Great Britain, 1984-03)

The polymorphism of Danaus chrysippus is anomalous since it is a distasteful butterfly. In a field study of the B locus polymorphism in Ghana, significant changes in the morph frequencies were recorded over eighteen ...
A novel polymeric phosphine oxide-derived support for enzyme immobilization

Henderson, William; Petach, Helen H.; Sarfo, Kwabena (University of Cape Coast, 1993)
FcCH~P(CH~OH)~: a new, reactive yet air-stable ferrocene-derived phosphine [Fc = (q0C5H5)FeC5H4]

Goodwin, Nicholas J.; Henderson, William; Sarfo, J. Kwabena (University of Cape Coast, 1996)

Reaction of FcCH2NMe3+I- with an excess of P(CH2OH)3 gives the air-stable ferrocenylphosphine FcCH~P(CH~OH)~, characterized by an X-ray structure determination activity towards reagents such as MeI, acrylonitrile and mines ...
A novel procedure for separating small peptides on polyacrylamide gels

Sarfo, Kwabena; Moorhead, Greg B. G.; Turner, Raymond J. (University of Cape Coast, 2004)

A simple and fast procedure that allows the separation of small (1–3 kDa) peptides on glycine-SDS gels is described. Peptides were separated by glycine-SDS/PAGE as a result of in situ complexation of peptide/SDS during ...
Folding forms of Escherichia coli DmsD, a twin-arginine leader binding protein

Sarfo, Kwabena J.; Winstone, Tara L.; Papish, Andriyka L.; Howell, Jenika M.; Kadir, Hakan; Vogel, Hans J.; Turner, Raymond J. (University of Cape Coast, 2004)

Escherichia coli DmsD interacts with the twin-arginine leader sequence of the catalytic sub-unit (DmsA) of DMSO reductase. DmsD was purified as a mixture of a number of different folding forms including: dimer (A); monomer ...
Effects of the intake of natural cocoa powder on some biochemical and haematological indices in the rat

Abrokwah, F. K.; Asamoah, K. A.; Esubonteng, P. K. A. (University of Cape Coast, 2009)

Background: Natural cocoa and cocoa products are increasingly attracting the attention of many investigators and the general public because of their potential nutritional and medicinal properties and other claims. Objective: ...
A multifunctional bioconjugate module for versatile photoaffinity labeling and click chemistry of RNA

Kellner, Stefanie; Seidu-Larry, Salifu; Burhenne, Jurgen; Motorin, Yuri; Helm, Mark (University of Cape Coast, 2011)

A multifunctional reagent based on a coumarin scaffold was developed for derivatization of naive RNA. The alkylating agent N3BC [7-azido-4-(bromomethyl)coumarin], obtained by Pechmann condensation, is selective for uridine. ...
Cascade and commutative self-assembles of nanoscale three-component systems controlled by the conformation of thiacalix[4]arene

Yushkova, Elena A.; Stoikov, Ivan I.; Puplampu, Joshua B.; Antipin, Igor S.; Konovalov, Alexander I. (University of Cape Coast, 2011)

In this work, the formation of two- and three-component supramolecular systems based on cone, partial cone, 1,3-alternate stereoisomers of heteroditopic “hosts”: p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene containing 4-amidopyridine ...
Dyslipidemia associated with type 2 diabetics with micro and macrovascular complications among Ghanaians

Adinortey, Michael B.; Gyan, Ben E.; Adjimani, Jonathan; Nyarko, Philomena; Sarpong, Charity; Tsikata, Francis Y.; Nyarko, Alexander K. (University of Cape Coast, 2011-01)

In this study, differences in lipid levels amongst diabetics with and without complications were assessed to determine lipid disorders that are associated with diabetic complications other than cardiovascular diseases. A ...
A modified guanosine phosphoramidite for click functionalization of RNA on the sugar edge

Seidu-Larry, Salifu; Krieg, Bettina; Hirsch, Markus; Helm, Mark; Domingo, Olwen (University of Cape Coast, 2012)

A propargyl containing guanosine phosphonamidite was synthesized and incorporated into siRNA, enabling click-ligation with an azido fluorophore onto the nucleobase sugar edge. Duplex stability was not affected by labeling ...
Enrichment of tiger nut milk with microbial transglutaminase cross-linked protein improves the physico-chemical properties of the fermented system

Kizzie-Hayford; Jaros, Doris; Rohm, Harald (University of Cape Coast, 2012)

Milk proteins cross-linked with microbial transglutaminase were investigated for their potential to improve the microbiological and physico-chemical properties of fermented tiger nut milk. Fermented systems with ...
Empirical rheology and pasting properties of soft-textured durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum) and hard-textured common wheat (T. aestivum)

Quayson, Enoch T.; Atwell, William; Morris, Craig F.; Marti, Alessandra (University of Cape Coast, 2012)

Puroindoline (PIN1) proteins are the molecular basis for wheat kernel texture classification and affect flour milling performance. This study investigated the effect of PINs on empirical rheology and pasting ...
Combining natural reaction analogues and first derivative spectrophotometric method to enhance the visible spectra of a non-polar crude leaf extract

Sarfo, Kwabena J. (University of Cape Coast, 2012)

Aim: This study was aimed at using natural reaction analogues and first derivative spectrophotometry to enhance the visible range of the non polar leaf extract. Study Design: The leaf of Alchornea cordiflora was extracted ...
Characterization of the 3-D microstructure of mango (Mangifera indica L. cv. Carabao) during ripening using X ray computed microtomography

Cantre, Dennis; Herremans, Els; Verboven, Pieter; Ampofo-Asiama, Jerry; Nicolaï, Bart M. (University of Cape Coast, 2013)
A comparison of the solubilizing potential of some aminopolycarboxylic acids, hortrilon® and fetrilon® for use in phytoextraction

Amoakwah, Emmanuel; Ampofo-Asiama, Jerry; Slycken, Stijn Van; Essumang, David K. (University of Cape Coast, 2013-06)

Phytoextraction has been introduced as a new technology to clean up soils contaminated with heavy metals as the use of conventional methods to clean up the soil is very expensive and destructive to the ecosystem. However, ...
Characteristics of tiger nut milk: effects of milling

Kizzie-Hayford, Nazir; Jaros, Doris; Schneider, Yvonne; Rohm, Harald (University of Cape Coast, 2014)

A standard method for the extraction of tiger nut milk has been introduced. It has been shown that, although milling duration improves the yield of tiger nut milk solids and its nutrient composition, there is a quantiﬁable ...
Cathodic stripping determination of water in organic solvents

Xiao, Changlong; Weremfo, Alexander; Wan, Chenyang; Zhao, Chuan (University of Cape Coast, 2014)
