ABSTRACT Over the years, paper-based system for information management has been carried out across most of business and organizational sectors. Overcoming this problem is the main focus of this project in order to reduce the risk of redundancy. This thesis describes the design and implementation of a system that will have the capability for storing related information about employees through database. The system serves as a bridge between the database and the users that helps in maintaining a...

ABSTRACT Living as a human being, health is taken as a priority everywhere you go to. As the famous saying goes “Health is Wealth”. Some people are wealthy but are not healthy. A person can encounter any illness at any time. A person cannot say that him/her is over having a certain illness because, when it comes you cannot take it back. People are suffering from different kind of diseases all over the world. But in this case the problem is not only the disease but knowing about the diet a...
ABSTRACT The application of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology in every part of the world today has tremendously improved efficiency and effectiveness regarding security. The use of this technology in the healthcare system has taken the area to greater heights of confidence and reliability, especially for medical personnel, as well as the patients. This project focuses on helping dependent people live their lives more productively by helping them manage their lives better. With this a...
ABSTRACT Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) formalism is a Modeling and Simulation (M&S) framework that provides a means of specifying systems. It separates a model from its simulator. The former describes the structure and the behavior of a system, while the later generates the trajectories of these descriptions. P-DEVS (Parallel DEVS) is the version of DEVS that allows one to express at the modelling level, the parallelism present in a system. Though the algorithm is well defined, ...
ABSTRACT Adebayo Gbenga Waliyi: Study and implementation of Wireless Sensor Network to Manage Energy in a Smart Home. (Under the direction of Ousmane Thiare) Many studies have shown that smart homes can use energy more efficiently than traditional buildings. Thus, several researchers have advocated building a smart home in order to reduce energy consumption. In the literature, Wireless Sensor Network is adopted as the dominant technology for every proposed smart home . In this thesis I expl...
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), is composed of several spatially distributed nodes, and connected to one or more sensors, which monitor a large physical environment. The nodes (wireless devices) are typically small in size and capable of performing sensing, on-board processing, communication and storage. WSNs [1] offer economically viable solutions for a variety of applications such as current implementations to monitor factory instrumentation, pollution levels, freeway traffic, and the struct...
ABSTRACT Deep Neural Networks are now deployed for many modern artificial Intelligence applications including computer vision, speech recognition, self-driving cars, cancer detection, gaming and robotics. Inspired by the mammalian visual cortex, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been shown to achieve impressive results on a number of computer vision challenges, but often with large amounts of processing power and no timing restrictions. Software simulations of CNNs are an efficient ...
Abstract Public health surveillance is a challenge across the globe. Unexpected disease outbreaks occur even though we have vast knowledge in the field of medicine. Also not being able to forecast the next set of diseases to be reported keeps our medical practitioners less prepared. This problem is heightened in low-income countries that cannot afford the infrastructure that comes with ubiquitous computing methods including Machine Learning on a national scale. There is also a notion that su...
Abstract Access to potable water is a difficulty for about a quarter of the world’s population. The people living in the northern regions of Ghana, which have arid to semi-arid vegetation cover, form a significantly large percentage of that number in Ghana. Rainwater harvesting has been found to be an appropriate measure to mitigate the effects of water shortages, but its practice has also been fraught with various challenges. Advancing technology has encouraged much research into the best ...
Abstract Humans are good at classifying things because our brains are adept at understanding contextual nuances. Machines, however, need to be fed the right features to achieve reasonably good levels of classification. Classifying text manually is a time-consuming and expensive process especially in the information age where a combination of the success of cloud computing, big data and the resurgent trend of the internet of things as well as unprecedented population growth have led to an expl...
Abstract This paper documents an attempt to create an algorithm for multi tempo music lyric transcription. This paper reviews music information retrieval as a field of study and identifies music lyric transcription as a subset of the music information retrieval field. The difficulties of music lyric transcription are highlighted and a gap in knowledge in the field is identified. There are no algorithms for music transcription that are applicable to all forms of music, they are usually special...
Abstract Malaria is currently one of the most deadly diseases in the world. While there are different treatment methods for the disease, the search for new drugs against malaria is still a very important area of research. One of the main challenges in manufacturing drugs against malaria is efficiently evaluating the performance of the drugs on the parasites since it requires, amongst others, precise measurements of the parasite growth-stages as well as their counts in blood smear images. The ...
Abstract Language is a basic characteristic of human beings. It does not only play the vital role in the transmission of information, but it is also pivotal in the establishment of social connection and emotional bond. For centuries, machines had never possessed the ability to exchange ideas with mankind in an intelligent or intuitive way. However, in recent years, due to breakthroughs in the field of Artificial Intelligence and the rise of computational power, machines have made significant ...
ABSTRACT This thesis explores young Ghanaian students’ conceptualizations of and reactions to a website. In a study that comprises a design evaluation of an online pen-pal website and usability testing with students, it attempts to determine to what extent such a website can be used to help African-American and African children form better perceptions of each other, and how a design of a website. The approach used first determines what Ghanaian students’ expectations of a pen-pal website ...
