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...

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...
