THE CHANGING ROLE OF CHRISTIAN NEWSPAPERS IN GHANA: A CASE STUDY OF THE CATHOLIC STANDARD

ABSTRACT This study content analysed the Catholic Standard from 1938 to 2012. The objective of the study was to determine whether the role of the Catholic Standard has changed through the different types of governance systems over the years. A sample of 480 issues out of a total number of 3,216 issues in the 74 year period of the Catholic Standard were randomly selected and considered for analysis. The study content analysed headlines of front page, middle page and back page stories, as well ...

Developing an Improved Heat Transfer Correlation for Applications in SCWR

ABSTRACT This thesis work seeks to complement ongoing research works on heat transfer from heated surface to supercritical water in the SCWR. The study was inspired by ongoing efforts directed at obtaining a correlation that predict supercritical-water heat transfer more accurately, especially with the identification of the SCWR concept as one of the six Generation IV nuclear reactors. The thesis focuses on the development of an improved heat transfer correlation for supercritical water flowi...
