A fundamental mechanism of the innate immune system is the recognition, via extra- and intracellular pattern-recognition receptors, of pathogen-associated molecular patterns. A prominent example is represented by foreign ...
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 ...
Cascade and commutative self-assembles of nanoscale three-component systems controlled by the conformation of thiacalix[4]arene

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 ...
Catalase activity of cassava (Manihot esculenta) plant under African cassava mosaic virus infection in Cape Coast, Ghana

Amoako, Sabastina; Yahaya, Adams; Sarfo, Justice Kwabena (University of Cape Coast, 2014-04)

African cassava mosaic virus has caused an immersed low yield of the cassava crop. The virus impacts stress on the cellular metabolism of the plant producing a lot of reactive oxygen species and increases the expression ...
Cathodic stripping determination of water in organic solvents

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

A cathodic stripping voltammetry (CSV) method has been developed to determine water content in organic solvents based on electrooxidation of a gold electrode in the presence of water to form gold oxides upon anodic ...
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 ...
