PRACTICAL AND MONEY-SAVING USE OF THE SAWDUST STOVE IN GHANA

The sawdust stove (SOS) has been introduced in Ghana as a cook stove using a- renewable energy resource (RER) - sawdust, for almost thirty years now. Over these years however, the sawdust stove is not as widely in domestic use as the wood stove and charcoal "pot" even where sawdust abounds. This study therefore sought to find the reasons behind the non-adoption of the sawdust stove, and based on the findings, recommend practical and money-saving ways of using the stove. Literature review on s...

A MODEL OF NEUTRINO MASSES: GRAVITY-EMBEDDED WEINBERG OPERATOR

This paper investigates the propagation of neutrinos in a curved spacetime background. Following from this, we propose a novel mechanism for generating their masses via gravity-embedded Weinberg operator. This model arises from a hitherto unexplored interaction between gravitational field and the Majorana-neutrino fields. Two distinct methods, each, of calculating dimensionless gravitational couplings from a  gravitational field and spontaneous-symmetry-breaking mass-scale  of high-energ...
