Title A name given to the resource Analysing the Effect of Mimo Configuration on the Throughput of Lte Networks in Multipath Environments Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Joseph Kweku Arthur, Lempogo Forgor, Emmanuel Effah Description An account of the resource Increasing use of high-bandwidth applications (such as streaming video) drives a continued desire for higher throughput and better coverage from wireless networks. This has rapidly increased the demand for mobile broadband traffic and driven the need for even more capacity from these systems. The key to solving this problem lies in increasing the network capacity. Increasing the capacity of networks creates new bandwidth delivery challenges for network operators. Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology is a viable alternative used by wireless broadband services in order to meet the striving requirements for throughput and system robustness in a network. Long Term Evolution (LTE) Networks incorporate this technology in their networks, which allows it to achieve higher system throughput, cell coverage, as well as downlink peak rate. In this research, LTE network using the various MIMO configurations … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available IEEE Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2019 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=BDvl0VYAAAAJ&citation_for_view=BDvl0VYAAAAJ:zYLM7Y9cAGgC Language A language of the resource English http://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/d26ec9c84c849e547f531114ea817e81.pdf aa31da4abaa93d973984506ac2b2b536 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 Automated control of heat treatment process of cocoa beans using Pid controllers Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Alexander Nikolayevich Chokhonelidze, Lempogo Forgor, William Brown-Acquaye Description An account of the resource Thermal treatment processes such as roasting and drying are very energy intensive and considering the ever-increasing cost of energy, there is the need for continuous process improvement in order to reduce operational cost, while maintaining or improving the quality of the end cocoa products. This work describes the design and simulation of an automated control system (ACS) based on a PID controller algorithm for the control of the thermal treatment of cocoa beans in a conveyor belt dryer. The thermal treatment processes is modelled as a continuous, spatially distributed single input single output system (SISO), where the control variable is the temperature of the inlet drying air and the controlled variable, the product temperature in the drying chamber. Software and hardware requirement of the ACS were also presented and discuss. Numerical simulations of the ACS were carried out using Matlab and Simulink. Overall, the numerical simulation results show that the PID controller is stable and robust in terms of input disturbance rejection. The system provides relatively fast response in terms of eliminating offset and steady state error in the thermal treatment process.

Title A name given to the resource The Role of Microfinance in Promoting Women's Empowerment: A Socioeconomic Approach Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Gertrude Amoakohene, Stephen Owusu Afriyie, Joseph Nkyi, Mohammed Musah, Peter Yao Lartey Description An account of the resource Women's economic empowerment is a technique meant to give them more authority over decisions, increase their income, and own assets. Since empowering women is essential to achieving the goals of development and reducing poverty, numerous attempts have been made to address this issue. Microfinance institutions (MFIs) have emerged as key tools over the past few decades to not only address poverty, but also to empower women in particular. It is believed that by employing microfinance, which has been shown to be one of the most effective approaches, women may gain some kind of personal empowerment. The primary objective of this research is to analyse how microfinance affects women's economic empowerment. Microfinance significantly boosts women's independent revenues, their levels of asset ownership, and their savings, which all contribute to their economic empowerment.

Title A name given to the resource Does industrialization promote the emission mitigation agenda of East Africa? a pathway toward environmental sustainability Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Yan Yu, Jingyi Zhao, Mohammed Musah, Michael Owusu-Akomeah, Joseph Akwasi Nkyi, Jing Li, George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong, Emmanuel Attah Kumah, Siqi Cao, Yuxiang Xu, Yingfang Shi, Liqi Wang, Can Hui, Kaodui Li Description An account of the resource Africa’s economy continues to be characterized by increasing environmental pollution caused by anthropogenic activities. Despite the implications of environmental pollution in the continent, little attention has been paid to it, although almost all its countries are signatories to the Paris Agreement. One macroeconomic variable that has proven to be a major driver of environmental pollution in the region is industrialization. However, despite the numerous explorations on the connection between industrialization and environmental degradation, limited studies have examined the linkage amidst the series in East Africa. This study was, therefore, conducted to help fill that gap. In accomplishing this goal, econometric techniques that control cross-sectional correlations, heterogeneity, and endogeneity, among others, were employed for the analysis. From the results, the panel under consideration was heterogeneous and cross sectionally correlated. In addition, the studied series were first differenced stationary and co-integrated in the long run. The elasticities of the regressors were explored via the cross sectionally augmented autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) estimator, the cross sectionally augmented distributed lag (CS-DL) estimator, and the augmented mean group (AMG) estimator. According to the results, industrialization led to a reduction in the environmental quality in the region through high CO2 emissions. In addition, financial development, foreign direct investments, urbanization, and energy consumption were not environmentally friendly in the bloc.

Title A name given to the resource Promoting carbon neutrality in China: do financial development, foreign direct investment, and industrialization play a material role? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Jun Yan, Kaodui Li, Mohammed Musah, Lijuan Zhang, Yutong Zhou, Dan Gao, Joseph Akwasi Nkyi, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Emmanuel Attah Kumah, Siqi Cao, Linnan Yao Description An account of the resource One of the crucial issues confronting China is high carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Despite the numerous measures outlined to promote the country’s carbon neutrality target, CO2 emissions in the nation continue to increase. This means that more policy options are needed to help improve environmental sustainability (ES) in the nation. Hence, examining the relationship between financial development (FD), foreign direct investment, industrialization, and environmental sustainability in China to provide proper recommendations to drive the carbon neutrality agenda of the nation is deemed fitting. In attaining this goal, time-series data from the period 1990 to 2018 is employed. According to the results, foreign direct investment deteriorates environmental sustainability by promoting more CO2 emissions. This validates the pollution haven hypothesis (PHH). In addition, industrialization and financial development are not friendly to the nation’s environmental quality. Furthermore, economic growth and urbanization escalate environmental pollution in the nation. In addition, the interactions between financial development and foreign direct investment and between financial development and industrialization deteriorate the environment in China. Moreover, foreign direct investment and financial development have an inverted U-shaped association with environmental degradation, but industrialization and environmental pollution are not nonlinearly related. The study advocated for the implementation of measures that could help advance the carbon-neutrality targets of the nation.
