To obtain uniform and reproducible nanofibres, it is important to understand the effect of the different electrospinning parameters on the nanofibre morphology. Even though a lot of literature is available on the electrospinning ...

In this work the effect of additives on the mechanical properties of some cement products were studied. After a 14day curing period, it was observed that, at 20% replacement level, PBA gave a compressive strength of 10.204 ...

This paper reviews e-waste practices and aggregates the toxicity levels of organic compounds in different environmental media and human body fluids resulting from e-waste recycling activities in Ghana. Literature was ...

The effect of using firewood for cooking, baking, and heating in poorly ventilated kitchens on the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in kitchen soot in the Cape Coast Metropolis of Ghana has been studied. ...

Glyco-gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in aqueous dispersions were prepared by two approaches, namely direct reduction and ligand substitution methods. In the direct method, potassium salts of glyco thiols, with the general ...

A new method for the determination of the selectivity coefficient of an ion selective electrode is proposed. In the proposed method, a series of mixed solutions of the primary ion i and interfering ion j is prepared in ...

Background: It is believed that higher methanol content may be present in some alcoholic drinks produced by traditional distilleries or some alcohol brewing companies. As a result of this, there could be a higher risk of ...

Source separation of municipal solid waste, (rarely practised in Ghana and Africa) which holds great promise to usher the country and continent into the realm of integrated and sustainable solid waste management is reviewed ...

This study was conducted to identify the gaps that exist between ventilated improved pit (VIP) latrine construction practices in Cape Coast, Ghana, and conventional technical guidelines, and to assess how any non-compliance ...

Stable isotope analyses and satellite telemetry were used to investigate the relationship between the body size and feeding habitat of adult female loggerhead turtles Caretta caretta aroundJapan. A total of 149 females ...
