Abstract Teacher absenteeism has become a canker in our society and it needs urgent measures to be put into place to curb it. There have been many attempts at monitoring teacher attendance using both traditional and technological approaches. This project proposes an application that uses an indirect approach to monitor attendance. On this platform, parents are allowed to submit an attendance status of the teacher of their children after they have inquired from the child as to whether the teac...
Abstract The smartphone market is steadily increasing all over the world, as such, most mobile device users are gradually shifting from feature phones to smartphones, tablets and portable computing devices. However, in emerging markets, majority of the mobile device users still use their feature phones, presenting an opportunity for OEM’S and operating system manufacturers to produce a phone that would suit this market. Mozilla, the company that popularized the open source browser Firefox, ...
Abstract Road accidents are estimated to be the ninth leading cause of death across all age groups globally. 1.25 million people die annually from road accidents and Africa has the highest rate of road fatalities (WHO, 2015). Self-driving technology has the potential of saving over a million lives lost to preventable road accidents world-wide. Africa accounts for the majority of road fatalities and as such would benefit immensely from this technology. However, financial constraints prevent vi...
ABSTRACT The introduction of agriculture technology in any country improves the annual production. Agriculture technology changes farming by reducing the amount of man power needed and increasing yield Connecting farmers from any farming community to buyers at any place can be very challenging for both parties (farmers and buyers). Farmers after every farming season run at a loss due to lack of buyers of their farm products. Also, poor prices offered by few buyers who have been transacting bu...
Abstract The consequences of a patient’s health record not being available at the time of treatment can be very cataclysmic. Accidental human deaths have occurred by the interference of certain medications with some undisclosed health conditions of patients due to the absence of their medical history not being available at the time of treatment. The purpose of this capstone project is to build and test the effectiveness of web-based inter-operable software which enables the global transfer ...
Abstract Producing software compels programmers to have in-depth knowledge of several programming languages, tools and frameworks. This time-consuming process demands dedication and mastery which are typically the foremost reasons most novice programmers give up a little into the software development process. This project seeks to eliminate learning programming languages and tools to create Android applications and reduce the time used in creating Android applications. This paper presents a c...
Abstract This paper explores the problem of depression among university students and provides a means by which the students can be linked to a mental health professional, in order to receive guidance. This system is made up of a mobile application and an electrical system. The mobile application includes a chat system that allows the students to contact available counselors, and also, includes a virtual reality interface that allows the user to relax in a virtual environment of choice while l...
Abstract The ability to hear is an integral part of being a human being. It plays a vital role in various facets of the human experience, communication, listening to music and even being aware of one’s environment. Unfortunately, not everyone is born with this gift, and the hard of hearing or deaf are thus isolated from society; simply because they cannot communicate and build social connection in the same way as the hearing population. The development of hearing aids was the attempt to bri...
Abstract The campus of Ashesi University Collage has a unique architecture which creates a relaxing feeling for the people who work there or visit it. Even though this is true for most spaces on campus, there are some spaces on campus which have a few design issues like the confined spaces and the lack of natural light. This has caused a dull effect on the people using these spaces as they use them. The location being examined in this project is a staircase which has a low ceiling and little ...
ABSTRACT To communicate effectively between two people there must be some set of rules, conventions, symbols and grammars agreed upon. This set is know as language.
ABSTRACT The need for a robust and secured access control system, using a suitable algorithm is highly inevitable to forestall daily online, hackers that are responsible in defrauding people of invaluable information and transaction worth billions of dollars in the process.
ABSTRACT Classification is the process of finding a set of models that distinguish data classes to predict unknown class label in data mining. The class imbalance problem occurs when standard classifiers are majority-biased while the minority class is ignored. Existing classifiers tend to maximise overall prediction accuracy and minimise error at the expense of the minority class. However, research had shown that misclassification cost of the minority class is higher and should not be ignore...
ABSTRACT Mobile Agent Technology (MAT), remote method invocation and remote procedure calling are the three most widely used techniques for information storage and retrieval in network environments. Previous studies have shown that MAT provides a more efficient and dynamic approach to information storage and retrieval than others. However, for mobile agents to effectively perform their various tasks, a static agent platform must be installed on the computers. These platforms consume more mem...
Abstract The project aims at providing a user-friendly application to enable Ghanaian small-scale firms to provide better after-sales service support. The provision of effective and efficient door-to-door customer service in Ghana has been a challenge to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). This can be attributed to cost of acquiring technology that can help to streamline processes. However, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have improved significantly has become accessible in recent years...
