Title A name given to the resource Effects of polymeric coating and anti-fungal treatment on the shrinkage characteristics of pineapple fruits during storage Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource George Sodah Ayernor, Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Paa Kow Bartels, Agnes Simpson Budu Description An account of the resource The combined effects of polymeric coatings and anti-fungal treatment on the shrinkage characteristics of pineapple fruits during postharvest storage were evaluated. A 2×2×10 factorial experiment was performed with polymeric coatings (0 and 5%), anti-fungal treatment (0 and 0.01%), and storage time (0–10 days) as the factors. The shrinkage evolution, shell color break, and crown withering index were evaluated using standard analytical methods. Regression models were developed to predict the variables and their effects on the studied indices. The results showed that the polymeric coating, anti-fungal treatment, and storage time significantly (p < 0.05) influenced the shrinkage evolution, shell color break, and crown withering index of the fruits and very high regression coefficients (87.2–99.3%) were noted among the indices.

Increasing pod storage, fermentation and drying led to variable reductions in total polyphenols, O-diphenols and anthocyanins content of the beans. The rates of reduction were however more pronounced during fermentation than pod storage and drying. Storage of cocoa pods between 3-7 days with 6 and 7 days of fermentation and drying respectively retained 85%-90% of the total polyphenol and O-diphenols of the cocoa beans. Similarly, anthocyanin content of beans from the 10 days of pod storage decreased by 70% in the sixth day of fermentation.

Title A name given to the resource Effects of share pricing on firms’ performance in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey, Akotey Joseph Oscar Description An account of the resource This study is designed to examine the effects of share pricing on firm’s performance. Net profit earnings of the firm was used as the dependent variable for the study whilst the independent variables constituted some characteristic indicators that can affect the firm’s performance such as earnings per share, return on equity, return on assets, return on investments and overheads. Five listed companies namely; the Ghana Commercial Bank, Enterprise Insurance, Mechanical Lloyd, Aluworks Ghana Limited and Standard Chartered Bank were used for the study. A random model was used to test for the effects of the various variables on firm’s performance using a panel data. The results show that earning per share was significant and positive in explaining firm’s performance whilst return on investment and overheads were significant but negative in explaining firm’s performance. Return on assets and return on equity were however, insignificant in explaining firm’s performance. it is therefore recommended that firms trade on the stock exchange to attract more shareholders through their share pricing as this will enable them to increase their capital gain as well as the public patronizing not only in their shares but also being part of them and hence patronizing their products since they will have a stake in it.

Title A name given to the resource Effects of tempering and fat crystallisation behaviour on microstructure, mechanical properties and appearance in dark chocolate systems Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Alistair Paterson, Mark Fowler, Joselio Vieira Description An account of the resource Fat crystallisation behaviours in dark chocolates from varying particle size distribution (PSD) (D90 of 18, 25, 35 and 50μm) was studied, yielding products from different temper regimes (optimal temper, over-temper and under-temper), and their effects on mechanical properties and appearance evaluated. Microstructures of derived products were determined using stereoscopic binocular microscopy. Wide variations in mechanical properties and appearance were noted in products from different particle size and temper regimes. Particle size (PS) was inversely related with texture and colour, with the greatest effects noted in hardness, stickiness and lightness at all temper regimes. Over-tempering caused significant increases in product hardness, stickiness with reduced gloss and darkening of product surfaces. Under-tempering induced fat bloom in products with consequential quality defects on texture, colour and … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Elsevier Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2008 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0260877408001829 Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/2c3bcd0495c36cb59156490bb1f842d6.pdf 1c104d32cec78e2bbe8524ba9c19ea18 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 Effects of weather and policy intervention on COVID-19 infection in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Wahab Abdul Iddrisu, Peter Appiahene, Justice A Kessie Description An account of the resource Even though laboratory and epidemiological studies have demonstrated the effects of ambient temperature on the transmission and survival of coronaviruses, not much has been done on the effects of weather on the spread of COVID-19. This study investigates the effects of temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed and the specific government policy intervention of partial lockdown on the new cases of COVID-19 infection in Ghana. Daily data on confirmed cases of COVID-19 from March 13, 2020 to April 21, 2020 were obtained from the official website of Our World in Data (OWID) dedicated to COVID-19 while satellite climate data for the same period was obtained from the official website of NASA's Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resources (POWER) project. Considering the nature of the data and the objectives of the study, a time series generalized linear model which allows for regressing on past observations of the response variable and covariates was used for model fitting. The results indicate significant effects of maximum temperature, relative humidity and precipitation in predicting new cases of the disease. Also, results of the intervention analysis indicate that the null hypothesis of no significant effect of the specific policy intervention of partial lockdown should be rejected (p-value=0.0164) at a 5\% level of significance. These findings provide useful insights for policymakers and the public.

Title A name given to the resource Efficiency Enhancement in a Multi-coil Wireless Power Transfer System Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Samuel Afoakwa, Kyei Anim, Young-Bae Jung Description An account of the resource Wireless power transfer technology via magnetic resonance coupling now has significant interest in industry and research with many applications. This paper proposes a linear multiple transmitter coil array (5 coils) for wireless power transfer for added gain and hence higher transfer efficiency in comparison to a single transmitter coil. The frequency splitting effect as a result of the coupling between the resonant transmitter coils due to their close proximity is shown to reduce the transfer efficiency to a receiver. The effect of the array spacing on splitting effect suppression is verified. It is shown that the splitting effect is sup-pressed as the distance between the coils is increased leading to a higher received signal and hence higher efficiency. Proposed horizontal displacement of the middle transmitter coils (2nd and 4th coils) in the coil array is shown to suppress frequency splitting. To further suppress the splitting effect due to the magnetic coupling between the transmitter coils, a multiple transmitter array is proposed with different coil turns. Thus it is shown that designing the multiple coil array with mixed number of coil turns (the 2nd and 4th coils are designed to have different number of turns as compared to the other three coils) causes uniform coupling among the coils reducing and eventually eliminating the splitting effect. Also to increase the efficiency at the receiver coil, displaced stacked coils are introduced on top of the coil array. The pro-posed stacked coil array is demonstrated to improve the transfer efficiency. Using the techniques, the proposed linear array structure achieves a transfer efficiency of 36.9% for a receiver coil at the boresight of the … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2021 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&amp;hl=en&amp;user=QRyINJYAAAAJ&amp;citation_for_view=QRyINJYAAAAJ:d1gkVwhDpl0C Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/c65e342b95a3d2a55db89f6a1a13132b.pdf 6fe86d9b67ae087a4b05272c0a74e93e 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 Efficient modelling of a PCB transmission line for high speed digital systems Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Amevi Acakpovi, Nana Yaw Asabere, Robert Sowah, Ruhiya Abubakar, Samuel Blay Amo Description An account of the resource This paper proposes a model of PCB traces for high speed digital systems. The adopted approach involves predetermined geometry using direct discretization of transmission lines. Initially, the proposed methodology involves computing the line propagation delay by employing its geometry with associated empirical equations. The initial procedure paves the way to design a Lattice diagram which depicts multiple reflections that the signal underwent due to impedance mismatches between transmission lines and loads. Subsequent computations of electrical model parameters were further done. Simulation results using Multisim software illustrated a favorable performance with a time delay of 1.42 ns and an equivalent electrical model of 10 lumped LC cells. The time delay between input and output signal obtained from the simulation was approximately 15.152 ns corresponding to the time it took for a transmitted … 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 2018 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&amp;hl=en&amp;user=AhSMvB8AAAAJ&amp;cstart=20&amp;pagesize=80&amp;citation_for_view=AhSMvB8AAAAJ:5nxA0vEk-isC Language A language of the resource English
