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...

Survey design was used for the study. The population consisted of all the teachers and st...
ABSTRACT Typical switched-mode power supplies employ diode rectifiers for the AC to DC conversion. They draw input current in short pulses rather than in smooth sine waves and this puts stress on the wiring, circuit breakers and even distribution equipment provided by utilities. This type of utility interface generates harmonics and both of the input power factor (PF) and total harmonic distortion (THD) are poor. To minimize the stresses and maximize the power handling capabilities, active ...
