Phenotypic and molecular characterization of Striga Gesnerioides resistance among cowpea (Vigna unguiculata l. Walp.) breeding lines

Asiamah, Joshua Yeboah (University of Cape Coast, 2020-09)

In Ghana, cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) production is constrained by Striga gesnerioides infestation. Though some Striga-resistant cowpea varieties exist, they are predominantly small to medium seed sizes, but consumer ...
Health seeking behaviours of youth in relation to sexually transmitted diseases

Asante, Kwapong Lovina (University of Cape Coast, 2019-09)

Health Seeking Behavior refers to those actions’ individuals undertake to find appropriate solutions for health problems. This study examined the rationale behind delay in seeking treatment for STI. Data was collected using ...
Comparative Studies of Crude Oils From Some Selected oil Fields in Ghana Using Spectroscopic Techniques

Gafrey, Calvin Kwesi (UCC, 2020-10)

Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (ED-XRF) and Non-destructive Gamma spectroscopic (NDGS) techniques are the modern spectroscopic techniques used in analysing crude oil samples around ...
Asymptotic stability of solutions of a system of Difference equations with finite delay

Egyir, Victor Kingsford; Egyir, Victor Kingsford (UCC, 2020-07)

This thesis is concerned with the stability of solutions of a system of dif- ference equations with nite delay. Fixed point theory is used in this thesis to investigate the stability of solu- tions of a system of di ...
Homogenization of Parabolic Partial Differential Equation Using the Multiple-Scale Expansion Method

Zankoni, Victor (University of Cape Coast, 2020-07)

In this thesis, we have homogenization of parabolic partial differential equation using the multiple scale expansion method as its central axis. It consists of two introductory chapters into the theory of homogenization, ...
Effects of Sacred Grove Size and Isolation Distance on Avifaunal Assemblages in Forest-Savannah Transition Zone of Ghana

Yeboah, Abraham (University of Cape Coast, 2017-12)

Sacred groves which are remnants of old-growth forests protected by indigenous people with the view that their gods reside in them and protect them from all forms of calamities, may be important areas for forest-dependent ...
Ameliorating Compaction in a Ghanaian Coastal Savanna Acrisol with Compost

Wuaku, Sadata (University of Cape Coast, 2021-08)

Soil compaction has deletenous effects on crop production by preventing soil to realize its full productive potentials even if crop residue is applied. The study sought to evaluate the efficiency of using compost to ...
Cocoa Farmers’ Willingness to Pay for Improved Extension Service Delivery in the Agona East District of the Central Region of Ghana

Twum, Gabriel Addae (University of Cape Coast, 2018-07)

Dissemination of farm relevant information to cocoa farmers though crucial is inadequate in the public extension service. The information-transfer gap could be reduced if information dissemination is prioritised in extension ...
Livelihood Vulnerability and Adaptive Capacity of Smallholder Oil Palm Farmers in Kwaebibirem Municipality of Ghana

Oteng, Alexander (University of Cape Coast, 2020-10)

Several studies reveal that smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa are the most likely to experience livelihood vulnerability. This study therefore, investigate livelihood vulnerability and adaptive capacity of smallholder ...
Exponential Stability and Instability in Multiple Finite Delay Volterra Integro-Differential Equations

Oppong, Richard (University of Cape Coast, 2020-07)

In this thesis, sufficient conditions that guarantee the exponential stability and also instability of the zero solution of a certain class of Volterra integro-differential equations with multiple finite delays are ...
Effect Of Corn Cob Biochar And Irrigation on Maize Production in a Maize Cowpea Intercrop

Dodji, Joseph (UCC, 2017-07)

Biochar has the potential of improving soil properties to increase crop yield and also to sequester carbon to mitigate climate change, however, very few farmers in Ghana are aware of the potential use of biochar and ...
Perceived Impact of the Agriculture and Food Security Programme of the Hunger Project on the Livelihoods of Beneficiaries in the Mfantsiman Municipality of the Central Region of Ghana

Omari, Richard (University of Cape Coast, 2020-12)

The Hunger Project- Ghana implemented the Agriculture and Food Security Programme in the Mfantsiman Municipality of the Central Region of Ghana to ensure food security of the households in the communities. The programme ...
Solution of Inverse Eigenvalue Problem of Singular Hermitian Matrices of Rank Greater than or Equal to Four

Bonsu-Bandoh, Bernard Jnr (University of Cape Coast, 2020-07)

This work deals with a modification of an algorithm that solves a special Structured Inverse Eigenvalue Problems (SIEP). The problem we consider is the Structured Hermitian Inverse Eigenvalue Problem (SHIEP) where the ...
A Graph-Theoretic Model of Haemoglobin Domain

Netsey, Edem Kofi (University of Cape Coast, 2020-07)

In this work, we built a graph-theoretic model of the haemoglobin protein domain and subsequently examine the impact of single point mutations in the entire protein domain to ascertain how significantly the severe and mild ...
Quantifying Genotypic Variation and the Effect of Phosphorus on Root System Architecture, P Use Efficiency, Yield and Physiological Seed Quality of Cowpea Genotypes

Mohammed, Kotochi Clement (University of Cape Coast, 2020-08)

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L) Walp) plays an important role in the livelihoods of several millions of people in the world. Despite its importance, poor soil fertility often limits the yield of cowpea in many areas, especially ...
Modelling Hepatitis B virus in the Presence of Regular Interventions.

Chataa, Paul (UCC, 2020-07)

Hepatitis B infection remains a global problem since the 1990s in Asia and Africa and the reasons for which the hepatitis B virus disease is still in existence remains poorly understood. Mathematical models of HBV ...
The State of Pesticide Use Among Cocoa Farmers in Volta Region of Ghana

Kosivi, Richard Kodjo (University of Cape Coast, 2020-10)

The main objective of this study was to assess knowledge, attitude and practices with respect to pesticide usage, alternative pest control methods and associated risks among cocoa farmers in the Volta region. A multi-stage ...
Assessment of Level of Noise From Some Selected Churches in Southern Shana

Debrah Yeboah, Isaac (UCC, 2019-09)

A hand-held Sound level Meter (SLM) calibrated at 114 decibels (dBA) and frequency of 1000Hz was used for the real-time measurement of noise levels from 10 churches at La Nkwantanang Madina Municipal District and Adenta ...
Production of Biodiesel from Parkia Biglobosa Oil Using Heterogeneous Bi-Functional Clay Catalyst

Kipkoech, Rogers (University of Cape Coast, 2021-10)
