ABSTRACT It is an undeniable fact that the world is now being ruled by technology. Without IT, our lives in this modern world will be miserable. The purpose of the study was to find out the state of ICT infrastructure in our schools, what teachers believe are the barriers to computer technology use in their classroom instruction and what suggestions they had to offer in order to bridge the barriers. Descriptive survey design was used. Teachers in public JHS in the Keta municipality were used....
ABSTRACT Road traffic accident records indicate that Ashanti Region is the second highest in fatalities in the country and in the Region; the Kumasi–Dunkwa road records the highest road traffic accidents in all the trunk roads. This prompted the researcher to investigate the driver attitudes and the vehicle characteristics that account for this and to suggest appropriate remedial measures to curtail it. The study was necessary and important since road accidents are mostly blamed on road u...
Background to the study In a study conducted by Zerboc (2003), in a developing country like Ghana, the problems associated with solid waste management are more acute than in a developed country. Lack of financial resources and infrastructure to manage waste creates a vicious cycle; lack of resources leads to low quality of service provision which leads to fewer people willing to pay for said services, which in turn further erodes the resource base and so on (Kuniyal et al. 1998). The pro...
ABSTRACT The aim of this research was to investigate into the qualities of both locally manufactured (from Suame Magazine in Kumasi) and foreign (India) corn mill grinding plates and to recommend if there are new technologies that could be employed to further enhance their qualities. The researcher made a brief description of the different forms of casting with more emphasis on sand casting. This was followed with an in-depth literature review of relevant material related to the subj...
ABSTRACT The main objective of this project is to develop a simple low cost microcontroller based remote distribution transformer monitoring system using wireless technology which acquires key transformer parameters like temperature, voltage and load current using various sensors to display the real-time values on LCD and forwards them to a cell phone in a remote location by SMS. This project was developed by using Arduino board with ATMEGA328 Microcontroller, SIM 900 GSM Module, LCD d...
ABSTRACT The purposes of this study are: (a) to find out the extent to which teachertrainees could be prepared for ICT integration into the Colleges of Education syllabuses in Ghana; (b) to find out some of the barriers that are militating against the integration of technology into the teaching and learning process. A cross-sectional survey design was employed to collect data in three regions of the country. Data were collected from 120 student-teachers in three Colleges of Education using ra...
ABSTRACT The increasing rate of electrical fires in the Kumasi Metropolis has become a matter of worry to many residents. Residential fires in Kumasi constitute the highest incidence of fire outbreaks recorded. In an attempt to address the alarming rate of fire outbreaks in Ghana, the Fire Precaution (Premises) Regulation (2003) LI 1725 was passed to enable Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) to carry out inspection of proposed and existing premises, review building plan with regard to�...
Introduction Energy is essential for the creation of wealth and improvement of social welfare; this means that, adequate and reliable supply of energy is required to ensure sustainable development. However, the use and conversion of primary energy most of the time results in waste and emission; they are harnessed from limited resources which are considered environmentally unsustainable. The increasing rate of environmental problems related to energy use has led to a growing interest�...
ABSTRACT The principal aim of this project is to contribute its quota to development of converted automobiles to ultimately serve intended purposes, protect lives and properties absolutely against liquefied petroleum gas related accidents and to update knowledge and practice on Technology for accelerated development of the Ho Municipality, enhance policy analysis by Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority and serve as a contribution to nation building. Random sample size of 212 conve...

ABSTRACT The main objective for this study was to assess the challenges associated with the use of photovoltaic modules in Ahanta West District of Ghana. Survey was considered to be the best for the research design. Data were gathered by means of issuing questionnaires to some selected groups who one way or the other use solar power in the research district. In all, 68 respondents were purposively selected from some households, schools, clinics, companies and traders who use or deal with th...
ABSTRACT The general objective of this study was to investigate the utilization of health and safety measures among students of Asuansi and Cape Coast Technical Institutes. This study employed descriptive method to gather the relevant data obtained from the research area. The study used quantitative research approach for the study. The population for the study was 100. The population was made up of mechanical engineering students at Asuansi Technical and Cape Coast Technical Institutes. Pur...
ABSTRACT The genetic diversity of Escherichia coli isolated from clinical and environmental samples from Cape Coast was studied. Bacterial isolation and identification was carried out using standard biochemical tests and confirmed using Analytical Profile Index (API) 20 E kits. All test E. coli isolates were screened for their susceptibility to 16 antibiotics, followed by a screening for extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) production. DNA was extracted from all tests E. coli isolates and PC...
ABSTRACT The study assessed the perception of people on the efficiency of fuel injection and carburetor engines of vehicles in the Tamale Metropolis following an increase in the number of vehicles. The growth in the number of vehicles has significantly created a apperception on the efficiency and performance of carburetor or fuel injection engines. The study therefore evaluated the perception of people on the performance and efficiency of fuel injection and carburetor engines of vehicles us...
ABSTRACT The physiological monitoring device is use to detect patient vital signs during treatment. It measures the rate a person that performs routine activities. The device detects body posture and activities that are of significant interest in applications such as sports, medicine, and military training. The study uses design of wireless controlled physiological monitoring device using ATMEL microcontroller. The physiotherapy is performed by a designed robotic arm fixed to the patie...
