ABSTRACT Human systemic fungal infections have increased in the past decade due to the dramatic increase in immunocompromised patients hence the emergence of resistant fungal strains. It is therefore necessary to discover new antifungal compounds with novel mode of action. This study was aimed at isolating and characterizing antifungal agents from wood decaying fungi (WDF). The growth conditions for maximum production of bioactive agents from WDF were first tested. It was observed that miner...
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Brachytherapy is a term used to describe the short distance treatment of cancer with radiation from small, encapsulated radionuclide sources. This type of treatment is given by placing sources directly into or near the volume to be treated. The dose is then delivered continuously, either over a short period of time (temporary implants) or over the lifetime of the source to a complete decay (permanent implants). Most common brachytherapy sources emit ...
ABSTRACT This research tries to determine the “hidden” factors which ultimately influence the choice of mobile phone network in Cape Coast Polytechnic (study area). Principal Component method of Factor analysis is used to achieve the set objectives. There are six mobile phone network providers (MTN, Vodafone, Tigo, Airtel, Globacom and Expresso) in Ghana. All these operators try to improve their marketing strategies in order to attract more customers or subscribers to increase their mark...
ABSTRACT Ground magnetics and electromagnetic datasets were processed to interpret the subsurface geology and structure of the southwest of Ghana within the Tarkwain and Volcanics in the central part of the Ashanti belt. The study was aimed at mapping lithology, delineating structural lineaments and their trends as well as the trend of mineralization in the study areas. The data processing steps involved enhancement filters such as reduction to the pole, analytical signal, the first horizont...
ABSTRACT A 3D seismic data merged with a regional 2D seismic data and well data acquired from Ghana National Petroleum Corporation were used to determine the tectonic impact on regional structural trend in the Ultra-Deep Water Cape Three Points. The Cape Three Point basin was fashioned from transform tectonic and has been severely influenced by the largest tectonic feature in the central Atlantic Ocean, the west-southwest – east-northeast (WSW-ENE) romanche fracture zone. The study area li...
ABSTRACT Radiation absorbed dose for patients undergoing myocardial perfusion has been calculated for technetium-99m Hexakis-2-methoxy-2-methylpropyl-isonitrile (99mTcSestamibi) at the Nuclear Medicine Department of Abdou Moumouni University. Thirty patients were scanned and image quantification was achieved using MedisoInterViewXP® software. An activity of370 MBq (10 mCi) of 99mTc-Sestamibi was administered for stress and 1110 MBq (30 mCi) for rest. A 256 x 1024 matrix size and a speed of ...
Structure of thesis The results from the thesis have been presented in chapters based on various experiments conducted. These chapters are intended as manuscripts for submission to international peer reviewed journals. Chapter 1 gives a general background to the thesis and presents pertinent literature on the topics understudy. While literature may be replete on neonicotinoids and other topics discussed in this thesis, these topics cannot be exhaustively discussed. As such, the literature mo...
ABSTRACT This study focused on designing a Web-Based Loan Management System (LMS), which would assist the microfinance institution (Pride Microfinance Limited) to keep records of its clients which can be accessed wherever and whenever needed. The LMS developed during the study, stores records in a web-database and also allows online updates of the web application. An investigation was carried out to establish how the existing system functions regarding the problems at hand in addition to the...

ABSTRACT The research was aimed at developing a Management Information System for a Book Shop Like most of the bookshops in Uganda, St Paul’s Book Shop uses the old type of record keeping by writing on papers the daily transactions that are carried out in the bookshop. However this type of system has a lot of challenges which include searching of book or a member in the bookshop. So this lead to the development of a management information system for that was aimed at reducing or eliminating...

The sequence of the power combination of expansion of the Kifilideen trinomial theorem of positive power of N is arranged in groups and patterns. Having a clearer view or picture of how the formulas of the components of the Kifilideen trinomial expansion were derived can lead to the discovery of formulating formulas for the series and sequences which follows the same pattern of progression as that of the trinomial expansion where series and sequence are not generated from trinomial expan...

Abstract “Unless and until our society recognizes cyber bullying for what it is, the suffering of thousands of silent victims will continue.” ~ Anna Maria Chavez. There had been series of research on cyber bullying which are unable to provide reliable solution to cyber bullying. In this research work, we were able to provide a permanent solution to this by developing a model capable of detecting and intercepting bullying incoming and outgoing messages with 92% accuracy. We also developed ...
