Mathematical modelling of forest growth, spread and vegetation pattern formation

Nyarko, Peter Kwesi (University of Mines and Technology, 2019-02)

The mechanism for growth, spread and vegetation pattern formation is largely unknown and poorly understood. To improve understanding of this mechanism, two mathematical models each consisting of three nonlinear partial ...
Enhanced adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system for the control of vehicle traffic at road intersections

Selase, Gloria Sitsofe (University of Mines and Technology, 2019-02)

The conventional method of traffic light signal control at intersections present undesirable performance issues which include unintelligent signal pre-set. These issues do not give control based on traffic demand at the ...
Mitigation of harmonics in power distribution systems using distribution static compensator

Dzah, Christian (University of Mines and Technology, 2019-03)

The quality of electric power is of major concern for both electric utilities and the end users of electric power in the wake of widespread use of nonlinear loads. Nonlinear loads normally draw non-sinusoidal (also ...
Impact of drainage on yield of Musa Sapientum

Baidoo-Antwi, Enock Innocent (University of Mines and Technology, 2019-03)

This report sought to confirm that drainage has impact on the number of flowers counted on Musa Sapietum Plantation in GEL. Beginning with the advantageous location of the plantation for three major reasons, of relative ...
Petrography and geochemistry of Akyem Mine gold deposit, Ashanti belt-Ghana

Omari Somuah, Agyapong (University of Mines and Technology, 2019-03)

Petrographic and geochemical investigations on rocks that host the Akyem Mine gold deposit situated in the north eastern flank of the Ashanti Belt, Ghana were used to determine the lithologies and textures within the host ...
Monitoring and controlling diesel particulate matter exposure levels in an underground mine – a case study

Adarkwah, Owusu Jonas (University of Mines and Technology, 2019-04)

Underground mining operations involve the use of light and heavy-duty equipment such as pickup trucks, drill rigs and dump trucks. These equipment are powered by internal combustion engines, generating enormous exhaust ...
Employing unified power flow controller to improve stability of the northern section of Ghana’s electric power transmission system.

Asihene, William Duodu (University of Mines and Technology, 2019-04)

The demand for electricity in Ghana has been increasing for over a decade, with no corresponding increase in the transmission capacity. This led to the transmission network operating close to its stability limits. In ...
Modelling of ground vibration from blasting at Semafo Mining Company, Mana Mine in Burkina Faso

Traore, Ze Siriki Henoc (University of Mines and Technology, 2019-05)

Blasting is a very important process for fragmentation of rock as part of operations and a lot of explosives are used for this purpose. The blasting process, however, remains a potential source of numerous human and ...
Cost reduction through mine to mill optimisation – a case study at Newmont Akyem Mine

Kugbe, Kekeli Kojo (University of Mines and Technology, 2019-05)

Recent economic factors have negatively influenced the mining operations of the Newmont Akyem Mine of Newmont Golden Ridge Limited, leading to major concerns on sustainability and profitability. In an operating mine, the ...
