The dosimetry characteristics of 2, 5-dipheny-3-(1-naphthyl)-2H-tetrazolinum Chloride (TV) for radiation processing has been investigated for gamma and electron beam irradiation processing. The steady state investigations ...
The contributions of non-governmental organisation towards basic education in Awutu-Effutu-Senya district of Central region, Ghana

Essel-Okyeahene, Francis (University of Cape Coast, 2008-08)

The purpose of the study was to examine the contribution of the NGOs towards basic education in Awutu-Effutu- Senya district (AESD) of Central Region Of Ghana. The study employed the descriptive survey design and drew ...
Assessment of Public Exposure to Radiofrequency Radiations from Mobile Phone Base Stations and Handsets

Amoako, Joseph Kwabena (University of Cape Coast, 2009-07)

This thesis reports the results of radio frequency exposure level in the vicinity of fifty mobile phone base stations in Ghana. The measurements showed that a power density variation of as low as 0.01 uW/m2 to as high ...
Laser Induced Thermoelectric Properties of Chiral Carbon Nanotubes

Twum, Anthony Kwabena (University of Cape Coast, 2010-12)

An investigation of laser stimulated thermopower in chiral CNT in the first Brillouin zone is presented. The electrical and thermal conductivities of a chiral CNT were calculated using a tractable analytical approach. ...
Development of DOAS remote sensing system for ground-based measurements of trace gas emissions in an industrial area

Sackey, Samuel Sonko (University of Cape Coast, 2011-03)

A DOAS system has been developed and deployed to determine horizontal concentrations of such pollutants as NO2, SO2 and O3 in Bologna, Italy and Tema, Ghana. Measurements were conducted in Italy during the winter season ...
Assessment of the Levels and Distribution of Polychlorina Ted Biphenyls in Soils in the Vicinity of Electric Transformers in the Central Region of Ghana

Bentum, John Kwesi (University of Cape Coast, 2012-06)

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in surface soil samples from the Central Region of Ghana were analyzed to assess their distribution, levels and health effects. The soil characteristics were analyzed. Soils samples were ...
Estimating the Effect of Education on Earnings in Ghana: Models for Twins

AGYEMAN, ADELAIDE (University of Cape Coast, 2012-12)

This thesis estimates the economic returns to an additional year of schooling in Ghana using data from a twins’ survey. Consequently, the relative importance of the roles of genetics and family background in determining ...

Fixed points and some qualitative properties of neutral functional differential equations, neutral functional difference equations, and dynamic equations on time scale

Yankson, Ernest (University of Cape Coast, 2013-04)

This thesis is concerned with the qualitative properties of solutions of neutral functional differential equations, neutral functional difference equations and dynamic equations on time scale. Some of the equations are of ...
Design And Fabrication Of An Electronic Instrument For Testing And Characterizatlon Of Photomultiplier Tubes To Improve The Image Quality Of LFOV Siemens Gamma Camera

OBENG, PAUL KWAMENA (University of Cape Coast, 2014-04)

A photomultiplier tube (PMT) electronic instrument was designed and fabricated. High voltage (-2000 V) and low voltage supplies (+8, ± 12 V) were also designed and constructed for the instrument. 40 PMTs were tested for ...
Analysis of Malaria Model with Two Infectious Classes and Seasonal Mosquito Birth Rate

Naandam, Samuel Mindakifoe (University of Cape Coast, 2014-06)

Malaria is a complex and deadly infectious disease that puts approximately 3.3 billion people at risk in 109 countries and territories around the world. A mathematical model for malaria was analysed to better understand ...
Estimation techniques in generalized linear mixed models with application to disease impact modelling

Mensah, David Yao (University of Cape Coast, 2015-07)

This study applies the theory of Generalised linear Mixed Models (GLMMs) to survey data on disease impact in Ghana. It determines the variables that are responsible for making dependent members of households feel the impact ...
Antioxidant and wound healing properties of some selected plants from kpando traditional area: Isolation of flavonoids from Anogeissus Leiocarpus (dc) Guill and Perr (combretaceae)

Barku, Victor Yao Atsu (University of Cape Coast, 2015-07)
