Waste Generation and its Implication to Construction Project Delivery in the Upper West Region of Ghana

This paper discusses waste generation and its implication to construction project delivery in the upper West region of Ghana. Construction industry is a vital connection to the infrastructure growth in Ghana. On the other hand, it also losses a lot of money to materials waste which is inimical to project delivery.  The   study aimed at finding out how much construction waste is costing construction project delivery and attempted to make suggestions to the industry on how waste can be minimized in order to maximize profits.The study employed both qualitative and quantitative method of sampling which allowed appropriate and accurate data organization, analysis and interpretation. The research revealed that a number of construction companies in the study area do not adhere to international best practices and standards of waste management on construction sites, such as waste minimization strategies. Maintenance of human resources was also found to be non- existent in these construction firms.  There is the need for effective supervision and enforcement of by-laws regulating waste management on construction sites.

Synthetic Biology: Engineering a Novel Organism (semester?), IPRO 302: Synthetic Biology IPRO 302 Midterm Report F06

The specific plan for our IPRO is construct a synthetic biological circuit, that is both novel, aesthetically pleasing and independent of the host organism. This is a first step toward implementing entirely synthetic organisms that can be designed to a specification. The target we have chosen is a synchronized biological oscillator, implemented in a vertebrate organism, the zebrafish. To produce an organism requires a wide variety of skills and tasks. Accordingly we have organized into subteams, each responsible for progress in some area, with an administrative sub team overseeing all the events.Deliverables for IPRO 302: Synthetic Biology: Engineering a Novel Organism for the Fall 2006 semeste
