ABSTRACT The proposed system is a dynamic model of social media monitoring tool with sentiment analysis. Social media platforms contain a lot of data which might be considered ambiguous to businesses/organizations. Most organizations make use of social media platforms for advertisement as they reach a large crowd in a short period of time and are also more affordable compared to other options. Businesses find it difficult to have a clear vision/insight on how well their business has grown aft...
ABSTRACT Facial recognition plays a significant role in different applications such as human computer communication, video surveillance, face tracking and face recognition. Efficient face recognition algorithm is required to accomplish such task. Face recognition is one of the most active research areas in computer vision and pattern recognition with practical applications. In present networked world, the need to conserve the security of information is becoming both increasingly significant a...
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 Cocoa beans are the main ingredient for making chocolate and in Ghana, it is a major contributor to the economy as it generates an annual foreign exchange of about US $2 billion. The ability to produce high quality cocoa beans free from moulds and mycotoxin contamination has therefore become critical due to the impact mycotoxins have on health of consumers and global trade. This study investigated changes in fungal growth, mycotoxin concentrations, physico-chemical properties and co...
ABSTRACT Patient‟s duration of stay at the hospital is one useful indicator many employ to assess the performance and efficiency of healthcare provided by hospitals and healthcare units. Also, patients‟ LOS and inpatient mortality are two interconnected health issues with complex outcomes, and studying the relationship between the two is not an easy task. This study therefore employed non-parametric and semi-parametric statistics in modeling patients‟ survival time to death using secon...
ABSTRACTIron deficiency is the most widespread nutritional problem in the world. It is common throughout childhood and prevalent among 6-12 month olds or 1 - 2 year olds when 70% and 50% of the respective requirements arise from the rapid rate of tissue growth. Despite large-scale iron supplementation programmes, the prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia remains high especially in developing countries. Low iron intake and poor absorption or bioavailability of iron in the diet can cause negati...
ABSTRACT Worldwide, acute lower respiratory tract infections in young children are one of the leading causes of childhood mortality. The need to investigate respiratory viruses associated with acute lower respiratory tract infections, more especially all four types of human parainfluenza viruses in Ghana has become crucial due to the limited information available on these viruses. Thus the aim of this study was to detect and characterize human parainfluenza viruses in children that present wi...
ABSTRACT Verification of the output of a treatment planning system (TPS) is considered to be part of quality assurance (QA) requirement for the TPS and need to be performed during commissioning and annually, but this is not given the needed priority due to non availability of appropriate phantoms to facilitate the process. Phantoms with heterogeneities that can simulate clinical situations are needed to assess the performance of TPSs. This research work sought to design and construct such a...
ABSTRACT The experiment was designed to determine the effect of two different solvent (N-hexane and petroleum ether) on chemical composition of lemongrass oil. The oil was extracted from lemongrass using Nhexane and petroleum ether using soxhlet extraction method. The chemical composition of essential oil obtained were analyse using GC-MS machine. The result shows 4.4% of oil were obtained from lemongrass using N-hexane and 4.9% were obtained using petroleum ether. The composition analysed b...
ABSTRACT The antinutritional composition of leafs and stem bark s. longepedunculata were investigated using standard analytical methods. The leafs and stem bark of S. longepedunculata was air dried and the sample was pulverized for the determination of anti-nutritive contents. The antinutritional continents viz phytate, oxalate, nitrate and cyanide were determined in this investigation. Nitrate content was significantly (p
ABSTRACT The goal of a network-based IDS is to identify malicious behavior that targets a network and its resources. Intrusion detection parameters are numerous and in many cases they present uncertain and imprecise causal relationships which can affect attack types. A Bayesian Network is known as graphical modeling tool used to model decision problems containing uncertainty. BN is used to build automatic intrusion detection system based on signature recognition. The research provides a fram...
ABSTRACT The transition towards paperless offices and increasing adoption of electronic transfer of information through emails and other web based content has prompted organizations to have a system which would manage their documents effectively.
ABSTRACT Ghana as a country is faced with series of sanitation problems, especially in the area of human faecal management. Improper handling and disposal of faecal waste has resulted in the outbreak and spread of diseases such as Cholera. Cape Coast Metropolis, which houses the capital of the Central Region of Ghana, faces such challenges as lack of toilets in various households, poor sanitation and crowded areas. Disposal of children’s faeces has therefore become an area of concern in t...
