Title A name given to the resource Structural Model of Students’ Interest and Self‐Motivation to Learning Mathematics Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Dominic Otoo, Wahab A Iddrisu, Justice A Kessie, Ernest Larbi Description An account of the resource Students pick up the perception that mathematics is abstract and therefore, the learning of mathematics would yield to them no benefit. With their attitude towards mathematics modelled and their interest for mathematics impacted by this automatic generated perception, they may never again appreciate the beauty of mathematics. In this paper, the researchers used structural equation modeling (SEM), to investigate the variables that affect students’ interest, among the variables, students’ confidence and motivation. The foregoing variables were conceptualized to have a direct effect on students’ interest in mathematics, whilst mathematics anxiety and students’ knowledge of the usefulness of mathematics were conceptualized to have indirect effects on their interest in mathematics moderated by students’ confidence and motivation. The result showed that significantly students’ confidence directly affects students … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Hindawi Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2018 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=ECTxVnYAAAAJ&citation_for_view=ECTxVnYAAAAJ:M3ejUd6NZC8C Language A language of the resource English http://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/0c415ad6de2d2ba303c039952bb7dece.pdf 231f9c8e646881f32436a3a23b95cb0c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Influence of spontaneous fermentation on some quality characteristics of maize-based cowpea-fortified nixtamalized foods Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Samuel Sefa-Dedeh, Agnes Simpson Budu, Esther Sakyi-Dawson, Justice Asomaning Description An account of the resource Spontaneous fermentation has been identified to improve the quality characteristics of foods derived from them. When combined with cowpea fortification and nixtamalization, it is expected to improve the nutritional, functional, physico-chemical and sensory qualities of maize based foods thereby improving the qualities as well as broadening the food processing techniques in sub-Saharan Africa. This study was therefore aimed at investigating the influence of spontaneous fermentation on the functional, physico-chemical and sensory characteristics of maize-based cowpeafortified nixtamalized foods. A 3x3x2 factorial experiment with fermentation time (0, 24, 48 h), cowpea (0, 10 and 20%) and alkaline treatment (nixtamalized and nonnixtamalized maize) was used. Samples were analyzed for pH, titratable acidity and water absorption capacity (27 C and 70 C). The blends were dried using the cabinet drier, milled into flour and processed into a snack food. The cylinder probe test was used in a TA-TX2 Texture Analyzer to measure the hardness of processed snack foods and sensory analysis was conducted to determine the acceptability of the snack products. The pH of all the nixtamalized samples decreased with fermentation time and cowpea fortification with concomitant increase in titratable acidity. Cowpea addition caused decreases in the pH from 9.68 to 6.12 in the unfermented nixtamalized samples. Contrary to this trend, general increases in titratable acidity were observed with fermentation and cowpea addition of the products. The water absorption capacities at both 27 C and 70 C of all the nixtamalized blends generally decreased with … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2007 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=EZuX1N8AAAAJ&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=EZuX1N8AAAAJ:4TOpqqG69KYC Language A language of the resource English http://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/b4368154b192e51fda158d6c88ab787f.pdf 2543a1b14c1deb6e91e3f347311339ff Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Fifteen treatment combinations were derived from Box–Behnken design (k = 3) and run. Analysis of variance and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to determine the effects of factors on the texture and color indices and to fit models for predicting the response variables. There were differences in the effects of the same set of factor combinations on textural attributes (hardness, fracturability, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness) and color (L, a, b) indices of the two cultivars used. Blanching temperature and frying time had a greater impact on texture and appearance of fried chips than blanching time.

Title A name given to the resource Optimisation of processing conditions and rheological properties using stephan mixer as conche in small-scale chocolate processing Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Roger P Aidoo, Nathalie De Clercq, Emmanuel O Afoakwa, Koen Dewettinck Description An account of the resource This study investigated the suitability of Stephan mixer for use as conche during small-scale chocolate production in an attempt to reduce cost and processing time. Molten chocolate was processed using the Stephan mixer under different temperature and time combinations and Buhler Elk'Olino conche (as reference), and the flow properties (Casson plastic viscosity, Casson yield stress and thixotropy) were studied using a shear-rate-controlled rheometer. Optimum settings of 65 °C for 10 min at 443 g dry conching followed by 50 °C for 15 min at 443 g wet conching in the Stephan mixer resulted in similar flow properties as the reference sample. Increasing the blade rotary speed for both dry and wet conching resulted in a decrease in flow properties. The Stephan mixer proved to be suitable for conching small-scale (approximately 1 kg) chocolate productions and could be explored as a fast and cost-effective … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Oxford University Press Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2014 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=EZuX1N8AAAAJ&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=EZuX1N8AAAAJ:YFjsv_pBGBYC Language A language of the resource English http://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/5920601cd4e1864297d211de7b31f469.pdf 474059e95282682250106642a91f9e04 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Two elite cultivars of D. rotundata species were selected to study the spatial distribution of total phenols and enzymes (PPO and POD) activities. The intensities of tissue darkening in fresh yam chips prepared from the tuber sections of cultivars during frozen storage were also studied. Total phenolic content was observed to be highest in the head and mid sections of the cultivars than at the tail end. PPO activity did not have any specific distribution pattern whereas POD activity was found to be more concentrated in the head than in the middle and tail regions. Browning was found to be most intense in the head regions of the two cultivars studied; and was observed to correlate with total phenol and dry matter … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Springer India Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2014 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=EZuX1N8AAAAJ&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=EZuX1N8AAAAJ:r0BpntZqJG4C Language A language of the resource English http://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/ae55466d259ce98ae56828949abddac5.pdf c742df831876ebd7730d4b7cbd6f7742 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Getting Distance Learning to a Tipping Point Ideas from Malcolm Gladwell Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka Description An account of the resource According to Gladwell (2002), social phenomena such as fashion trends, crime rates, teenage smoking, infectious diseases etc. often witness, at some particular point in time, a sudden and dramatic turn in activity, catapulting them into epidemic proportions. This tipping point of social epidemics is often attributed to one or more factors. For example when in the 1990s, crime rate in New York City suddenly dropped over 60% in 5 years, the New York City police attributed it to effective policing strategies. Criminologists on the other hand cited the decline in illicit drug trade as the main reason, whilst economists pointed to the improvement of the city's economy. Though each reason given was true to some extent, a critical analysis revealed that, none of them, either in isolation or together with the others, could wholly account for the dramatic drop in crime rate (Gladwell, 2002).

Title A name given to the resource Creating Effective Web Based Distance Learning Environments An Evaluation Summary of One Course Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka Description An account of the resource Distance Learning, as the name implies, simply means that a learner is at a distance from the tutor or instructor, and that the learner uses some form of technology to access learning materials, interact with the instructor and other learners, as well as obtain some other form of support. Although practiced for well over a century, it is only in recent times that there has been a resurgence of interest in distance learning as a potentially useful strategy for addressing educational issues. This resurgence has been rooted mainly in the evolution of new information and communications technologies, particularly the computer and internet/World Wide Web. As applying these technologies in educational settings have resulted in the improvement of pedagogical and administrative models for facilitating learning at a distance, distance learning has now become synonymous with other terminologies such as internet learning, online … Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=AXIuswEAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=AXIuswEAAAAJ:3fE2CSJIrl8C Language A language of the resource English Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
