  • Homogenization of stokes equation by multiple scale expansion method 
    Essel, E. K. (University of Cape Coast, 2013-02-28)
    In this paper we prove the homogenization of the Stokes e-quation by the method of multiple scale expansion. In particular the cell problems are clearly defined and an algorithm for obtaining the homogenized solution is ...
  • Homogenization of the unstationary incompressible Reynolds equation 
    Almqvist, A.; Essel, E.K.; Persson, L.-E.; Wall, Peter (University of Cape Coast, 2007)
    This paper is devoted to the effects of surface roughness during hydrodynamic lubrication. In the numerical analysis a very fine mesh is needed to resolve the surface roughness, suggesting some type of averaging. A rigorous ...
  • Laser spectroscopy of free molecular oxygen dispersed in wood materials 
    Alnis, J.; Anderson, B.; Sjoholm, M.; Somesfalean, G.; Svanberg, S. (University of Cape Coast, 2003)
    The recently introduced Gas in Scattering Media Absorption Spectroscopy (GASMAS) technique is applied to the study of various wood samples. Molecular oxygen in the pores of the strongly scattering material is detected using ...
  • Long memory and arfima modelling: the case of CPI inflation rate in Ghana 
    Boateng, Alexander; Gil-Alana, Luis Alberiko; ‘Maseka, Lesaoana; Siweya, Hlengani; Belete, Abenet (University of Cape Coast, 2016)
    In macroeconomic theory and economic policy, changes in the general price level or the rate of inflation plays an essential role. Hence, for example, one of the motives behind the adoption of Inflation Targeting policy ...
  • LQAS in Health Monitoring – Insights from a Bayesian Perspective 
    Mensah, David Kwamena; Hewson, Paul (University of Cape Coast, 2014)
    Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) is strongly advocated for use in monitoring the health status of populations, largely in the developing world. It is advocated both for the monitoring of small areas as well as for ...
  • Maize price stabilization in Ghana: an application of a continuous-time delay differential equation model with buffer stock 
    Anokye, Martin; Oduro, Francis T. (University of Cape Coast, 2015-01-09)
    The paper is intended to use mathematical models for controlling fluctuations in the price of maize by employing a nonlinear continuous time delay differential equation derived from linear demand and nonlinear supply ...
  • Mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of a multiscale cancer invasion of host tissue 
    Nyarko, Peter Romeo; Anokye, Martin (University of Cape Coast, 2020-03-24)
    In this study, we develop an advection-reaction-difusion system of partial diferential equations (PDEs) to describe interactions between tumor cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) at the macroscopic level. At the subcellular ...
  • Mesh grading in isogeometric analysis 
    Langer, U.; Mantzafaris, A.; Moore, St. E.; Toulopoulos, I. (University of Cape Coast, 2015)
    This paper is concerned with the construction of graded meshes for approximating so-called singular solutions of elliptic boundary value problems by means of multipatch discontinuous Galerkin Isogeometric Analysis schemes. ...
  • Modeling and forecasting rainfall pattern in Ghana as a seasonal arima process:The Case of Ashanti Region 
    Abdul-Aziz, A.R.; Anokye, M.; Kwame, A.; Munyakazi, L.; Nsowah-Nuamah, N.N.N. (University of Cape Coast, 2013)
    Understanding the rainfall process is critical for the solution of several regional environmental problems of integrated water resources management at regional scales, with implications for agriculture, climate change, and ...
  • Modeling of tomato prices in Ashanti Region, Ghana, using seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average model 
    Boateng, Francis Ohene; Amoah-Mensah, John; Anokye, Martin; Osei, Lot; Dzebre, Paul (University of Cape Coast, 2017)
    The pricing of seasonal and perishable crops such as tomatoes is of paramount concern to emerging economies. In this paper, we have formulated a model for the prices of tomatoes in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. We applied ...
  • Modelling age at first marriage among Ghanaians in Urban Southern Ghana 
    Howard, N.; Sackey, R.; Nkansah, B. K. (University of Cape Coast, 2018)
