ABSTRACT Insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) are known to be highly effective in reducing malaria morbidity and mortality. However, there is scanty information on actual usage of owned nets which varies among households. Such variations may limit the potential effect of nets and cause spatial heterogeneity on malaria transmission. Likewise there is limited information and utilization of topographic parameters such as the shape of the underlying valley ecosystem in identification of high-risk...
ABSTRACT Ghana, as most other countries, has a considerable variation in its topography. In an attempt to build cheaper, but yet the safe structures (i.e., roads, apartments, etc.), we are most often times faced with building on hill-sides and in valleys. This then calls for the need to correctly assess the stability of any adjacent slopes. In recent times, due to the extensive need for stability analysis in engineering practice, slope stability analysis programs have been developed. It is no...
ABSTRACT Introduction: Over the years, ultrasound imaging has been used to diagnose neurological abnormalities of neonates in general and premature infants in particular. This is because the anatomy of the neonatal brain can be demonstrated on ultrasound images with high precision. Neonatal sonography is possible because the fontanelles of the skull allow ultrasound beam to penetrate to the brain tissue. In Ghana, little or no data is available on the prevalence of neuro abnormalities in pr...
There is a need for more computers in everyday life, in homes, schools and on the job. The advancement of computer technology today in all facets of the world, and life are growing to the point that everyone will need a computer to carry out their everyday life. Computer technology today is at the threshold of making life easier for everyone in the world. Computers are helping students get better grades in school, from help with homework over the internet to doing research for an essay at th...
Recent theoretical developments in expanded microchannel polymer-based heat exchangers were promising, but the initial experiments underperformed simple theory. In order to understand this discrepancy, this paper introduces a nondestructive methodology for characterizing polymer heat exchangers. A computerized tomography (X-ray) scan was performed to diagnose the problem. The method was tested on the expanded microchannel polymer heat exchanger to determine the variations in geometry between ...
INTRODUCTION 1.1BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY ORIGIN OF COMPUTER The earliest type of machine capable of performing some arithmetic operation was designed aid built by Professor Wilhem Schick hand in 1623. A more powerful one was built by a French Scientist, Blaise Rascal in 1642. In 1671, an improved one was built by a German Mathematical Gottfried Leibniz in the form of a calculation capable of performing multiplication, division, addition and subtraction. The Leibniz machine could be said to...
ABSTRACT The study was carried out to find the efficiency of banking activities with the application of computer. It is the aim of this research work to find out the relationship between the service of computer and banking activities and the contribution of computer application toward banking activities in economy. The scope and limitation of the study was able to come up with the faces the banking sectors improve tremendously with the computer. It is of a great importance to both the ministr...

Abstract: This study focuses on using electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) to map coal seam and associated structures found within the seams in parts of the Mmamabula Coal Field- central Botswana. The coals of this area belong to the Ecca Group’ s Mmamabula Fm and Mosomane Fm. Several major faults are reported to have affected the Karoo strata in the Mmamabula area. The northern limit of the coalfields is defined by the ENE-trending Zoetfontein Fault which has a downthrow to the no...
Abstract The study aimed to characterize the spleen in patients with SCD using computerized tomography scan in all enhancement phases. The spleen locations, shape, size, CT number and vascular findings were also been evaluated. As well full depiction of the associated lesions characteristics were studied at all types of SCD including hemoglobin SS, hemoglobin SC, hemoglobin SB+ (Beta) thalassemia and Beta-Zero thalassemia. And the complications occur in abdominal organs and chest were correl...
ABSTRACT Rivers are natural forces that continue to shape the surface of the earth and also play an important role in supporting life. They serve as part of the earth’s interconnected circulatory system. This system acts on the rivers to alter topography and shape of river basins and nearby landmasses which influence river currents. Earth observation tools have developed over the years with enhanced and advanced technological input to also observe such changes. The White Volta has been affe...
ABSTRACT This study assessed the status of administrative use of computers in secondary schools in South-West Nigeria. A descriptive survey research design was used carry out the assessment. The study sample consists of 24 four public schools and 16 private schools in Lagos State, and 44 public schools and 15 private schools in Ogun State selected randomly. Ten basic administrative duties and eight selected school characteristics were used as the basis for the assessment. A model was proposed...
ABSTRACT This study sought to find out the challenges being faced in the use and teaching of computers in secondary schools in Chihota District, Zimbabwe. Six secondary schools in the Chihota rural area participated in the study. Questionnaires and interviews were used as research instruments. Literature related to the topic was reviewed in Chapter Two in order to get an insight on the topic so as to develop a framework upon which findings were based. The findings revealed that there were pro...
Abstract The study investigated factors affecting the use of computers in teaching and learning of Mathematics in secondary schools of Kisii central district,Kisii County, Kenya. Previous empirical studies have underscored the important roles of instructional materials in the classroom setup. Studies the world over have also highlighted the roles of computer as an instructional material in the classroom particularly in regard to assisting in enriching the teaching learning experience of perce...
ABSTRACT Today‟s use of computer pervades all areas of our lives, including activities in institutions of learning. Beyond the very facility of computation, data management, word processing etc, computers have become essential in providing instructional effectiveness, planning, and generally challenging the learning environment. The application of computer technology in the field of education is rapidly gaining ground world over. The common modern technological tools available to music educ...
