Title A name given to the resource Microfinance and credit rationing: does the microfinance type matter? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource F Sackey, L Diaz-Serrano Description An account of the resource Abstract© 2017,© 2017 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. This study sets out to examine the extent to which access to credit and credit rationing are influenced by the microfinance type based on the major factors determining micro, small and medium enterprises’ access to credit from microfinance institutions in the era of financial liberalization. The data for the study were gleaned from the microfinance companies’ credit and loan records consisting of the various pieces of information provided by the borrowers in the application process. Our results are puzzling and show that credit rationing is not influenced by the microfinance types but by the individual microfinance companies. Our results also show that the Government microfinance company is the least severe in the rationing behavior.

Title A name given to the resource Microstructural and physicofunctional characterization of starches from selected cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) varieties developed for pest and disease resistance Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource C Atuobi, E Sakyi-Dawson, S Sefa-Dedeh, EO Afoakwa, AS Budu Description An account of the resource The microstructure, physico-chemical and functional properties of legume starches affect their cooking quality as well as the texture and rheological behaviour of foods processed from them. Thus, this study sought to establish the microstructural, physico-chemical and functional properties of the native starches of four cowpea varieties-Bengpla, Asetenapa, Asontem and CR-06-07, that have been developed against disease and pest infestation. The starches were extracted from the cowpeas and their gelation capacity, pasting characteristics, solubility, swelling volume and swelling power were studied using standard analytical methods. Microstructures of the starches were examined using light microscopy. Isolated starch granules from the microstructural examination showed irregular shapes with predominance of spheroid and oval forms in varying sizes. Starch granule sizes ranged from 1.9 mm in Asetenapa to 2.9 mm in Asontem. Swelling power, solubility and swelling volume at 95 C was highest in Bengpla with Asetenapa recording the lowest. However Asontem had the highest value in terms of solubility. With the exception of gelation capacity, significant differences (P≤ 0.05) were observed in all the studied parameters amongst the different cowpea varieties. Thus, the cowpea starches showed wide variations in microstructure, physico-chemical and functional properties among the studied varieties and these could be used in the selection of the varieties for specific food processing applications.

Title A name given to the resource Microstructure and mechanical properties related to particle size distribution and composition in dark chocolate Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Alistair Paterson, Mark Fowler, Joselio Vieira Description An account of the resource Composition in dark chocolate was varied and the effects determined on microstructure, using light microscopy, and mechanical properties of molten and tempered chocolates, using a TA.HD Plus Texture Analyser. Compositional parameters were particle size distribution (PSD) (D90 of 18, 25, 35 and 50 μm), fat (25%, 30% and 35%) and lecithin (0.3% and 0.5%) contents. Micrographs revealed wide variations in sugar crystalline network structure and inter-particle interaction strengths related to PSD and fat level. Samples containing 25% fat had more crystal agglomerates, well flocculated with greater particle-to-particle interaction strengths than those with higher (30% and 35%) fat contents. Increasing the D90 to 35–50 μm caused broadening of the PSD, with particles becoming coarser, which were similar at all fat levels. Mechanical analysis showed that PSD, fat and lecithin content significantly influenced … 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 2009 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://academic.oup.com/ijfst/article/44/1/111/7864804 Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/d5742117ec58be541a045c268739d942.pdf d3cb29f94779cea075b86c4765b0e4e5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Text Description An account of the resource Microwave and RF Design: Networks presents the tools and techniques required to analyze and design microwave and RF circuits. Because of the finite speed of light, microwave circuits must be considered to be spatially distributed, and so there is not a single ground. As such, metrics that can be used to describe power flow are of most use. The topics covered include scattering parameters, signal flow graphs, and Smith charts. Acquiring expertise in these is the biggest barrier to a successful career in microwave and RF engineering. This book is suitable as both an undergraduate and graduate textbook, as well as a career-long reference book. Key Features The third volume of a comprehensive series on microwave and RF design. 49 worked examples. An average of 30 exercises per chapter. Answers to selected exercises. Detailed coverage of Smith charts and how they are used in design and in interpretation. Extensive treatment of broadband matching. A companion book, Fundamentals of Microwave and RF Design, is suitable as a comprehensive undergraduate textbook on microwave engineering. https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/a96195cd58ca06daa5bb180ab495a2dd.pdf 209d812498524e2a008cffbbe9182dd2 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 Migrating SQL Server Databases to Azure Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Carl Rabeler Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Microsoft Press Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016 Description An account of the resource SQL Server is Microsoft's relational database management system (RDBMS). SQL Server can now be hosted entirely in Microsoft Azure, either in a hosted virtual machine (VM) or as a hosted service. Hosting a virtual machine in Azure is known as infrastructure as a service (IaaS), and hosting a service in Azure is known as platform as a service (PaaS). Microsoft's hosted version of SQL Server is known as Azure SQL Database or just SQL Database that is optimized for software-as-a-service (SaaS) app development. This ebook, Microsoft Azure Essentials: Migrating SQL Server Databases to Azure, introduces you to SQL Server in an Azure virtual machine and to Azure SQL Database and walks you through getting started with each approach. It takes you from creating a SQL Server instance in a virtual machine or as a platform service to migrating an on-premises database into Azure and then to securing the data and the database in Azure. Beyond the explanatory content, each chapter includes one or more walk-throughs with extensive screenshots so you can follow along and create a trial subscription, create SQL Server in an Azure virtual machine, create an Azure SQL Database, migrate an on-premises database to each Azure environment, create users, back up and restore data, and archive data.

Title A name given to the resource Migration from low to high voltage distribution system: An optimization of selected unit transformers using linear programming with MATLAB Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Issah B Majeed, Amevi Acakpovi, George Eduful, Mathias B Michael, Ruhiya Abubakar Description An account of the resource This paper evaluates HVDS and LVDS concepts by system performance. This is achieved by examining system losses on HV and LV distribution networks in radial AC distribution systems. Challenges associated with system losses may demand network conversion from LV to HV network. This paper addresses this issue by using HVDS optimization specifically, linear programming techniques with Matlab optimization toolbox to determine the optimal number of unit transformers in the HV network. Studies conducted on a test distribution system using CYMEDIST software show the optimized HVDS has improved voltage profile and a total system loss reduction of 29.50% as compared to the LVDS. Consequently, there is reduced operational cost and increased annual capitalized loss savings in the optimized HVDS.
