Title A name given to the resource Determinants of capital structure of listed oil marketing companies in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Doku, Elvis Adjei, Harrison Adjimah, John Akuma Description An account of the resource Capital structure decisions are the most crucial decisions taken by corporate organizations, as these decisions have massive impact on the overall cost of capital weighted average and the resultant profitability and market value of shares. Most of the researches conducted on capital structure concluded that there is an optimal capital structure that is affected by a variety of internal and external factors. These factors usually differ from country to country and industry to industry. This paper using a case study methodology, investigated the determinant of capital structure of oil companies in Ghana. The study examined how internal factors such as profitability, asset tangibility, growth, size and riskiness of a firm impacts on the capital structure of the two listed oil marketing companies in Ghana (GOIL and TOTAL) for the period between 2005 and 2014 using ordinary least square regression. The findings indicated that all the factors have significant impact on financial leverage.

Title A name given to the resource A simulator for modeling the drying of a bed of cocoa beans Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource AN Chokhonelidze, F Lempogo, W Brownacquaye Description An account of the resource This paper discusses the development of a software simulator to predict the optimum drying conditions of a bed of cocoa beans in a convective dryer. To achieve this, a suitable mathematical drying model based on the Luikov’s model of heat and mass transfer in a capillary porous medium, were derived, to define the drying behavior of the bed. A heat source term was introduce in the energy equation due to the enzymatic browning reaction in cocoa beans during drying. The result-ing coupled heat and mass transfer equations were discretized using the finite difference method based on the notation of control volume. An algorithm was created to implement this solution into a computer program using a complex of Rapid a p-plication development tools which include Visual Studio, CodeFluent Entities and MATLAB. The algorithm was implemen t-ed in MATLAB 7.12 and was later exported through COM into Visual Basic.NET code for further development of the simu-lator in Visual Studio 2010. A logical model of the database was developed using the Graphical Modeler in CodeFluent Entities and later exported into a physical MS SQL Server database. The simulator will serve as a powerful decision making tool, that will be useful for engineers or operators to develop optimum drying conditions to improve the quality of cocoa beans and the final cocoa products.

Title A name given to the resource Banking efficiency in emerging economies: Does foreign banks entry matter in the Ghanaian context? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Daniel Ofori‐Sasu, Lord Mensah, John Kwame Akuma, Isaac Doku Description An account of the resource This study empirically examines the effect of foreign banks entry on banking efficiency scores, using the truncated regression data envelopment analysis model for 25s banks in Ghana, over a 6‐year period (2010–2015). We decompose the efficiency scores into three (technical, cost, and allocative efficiency), and the results indicate that banks in Ghana are marginally inefficient in operating closer to their optimal capacity. The findings show that the input‐oriented model slacks are needed to push an inefficient bank closer to where an efficient bank is positioned. From the results, an immediate and a short‐term entry of foreign banks have a consistent negative relationship with both technical‐ and cost‐efficiency scores whereas long‐term entry of foreign banks shows an inconsistent relationship with the three banking efficiency scores. Thus, the drive towards a positive impact of foreign banks entry on the three … 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=qGn6xmQAAAAJ&citation_for_view=qGn6xmQAAAAJ:u-x6o8ySG0sC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/522cfa5da4936803d4344b8d4a4f4b24.pdf 70205df3a0aa025b237823132e6aac41 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.
