Urban governance and contested market redevelopment in Ghana
Urban Governance and Contested Market Redevelopment in Ghana explores how urban governance, urban regeneration and urban politics intersect during market redevelopment in cities in Ghana, and Africa more broadly. Utilising market redevelopment case studies in Kumasi, Cape Coast, Ho and Sekondi-Takoradi, Lewis Abedi Asante and Ilse Helbrecht reveal how market traders resist displacement, shape urban governance and challenge modernist urban development.

A new electronic model delivering self-sustained relaxation oscillations and its use to power small size electromechanical systems
A new nonlinear electronic circuit capable of delivering relaxation oscillations is proposed and studied mathematically and numerically. The voltage differential equation is established and its bifurcation diagram presents a domain of a control parameter in which self-sustained relaxation oscillations are present confirming the results of the stability analysis of the equilibrium points.
