    Formation of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) during femtosecond laser ablation of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) is investigated. Using a 1 kHz femtosecond pulses (pulse width 130 fs, centre ...
  • Forms and levels of phosphorus in a strongly weathered acid soil in ghana: the contribution of corn cob biochar 
    Osei, B. A. (University of Cape Coast, 2017-01-10)
    Different rates of corn cob biochar were applied to a strongly weathered acid soil as an amendment. The impact of the amendment on levels and forms of phosphorus (P) was determined. The biochar was applied to the soil at ...
  • Fragment formation in the break-up of a drop falling in a miscible liquid 
    Arecchi, F. T.; Buah-Bassuah, P. K.; Perez-Garc, C. (University of Cape Coast, 1991)
    When falling in a lighter miscible solvent, a drop of liquid deforms to a torus which then breaks up into several fragments or just disappears by diffusion. By using liquids of different compositions we show the universal ...
  • Fragmentation instabilities of a drop as it falls in a miscible fluid 
    Residori, S.; Buah-Bassuah, P.K.; Arecchi, F.T. (University of Cape Coast, 2007)
    We review here a series of experiments on the fragmentation instabilities that a liquid drop undergoes it falls inside a fluid with which it is miscible, so called the solvent. Motivated by the original experiments initiated ...
  • Fragmentation instabilities of a liquid drop falling in a miscible fluid 
    Buah-Bassuah, P. K.; Residori, S.; Arecchi, F. T. (University of Cape Coast, 2014)
    We report a set of experimental investigations on the break-up of a liquid drop when falling in a miscible solvent, with the density difference being positive, or negative, or zero. Non-dimensional numbers, derived from ...
  • Fragmentation of a drop as it falls in a lighter miscible fluid 
    Arecchi, F. T.; Buah-Bassuah, P. K.; Francini, F.; Residori, S. (University of Cape Coast, 1996)
    We report an experimental investigation of the fragmentation process of a heavy drop falling in a lighter miscible fluid. For fixed liquid composition and for different drop sizes, we observe that the fragmentation cascade ...
