Abstract Visualising data and interpreting it is a common activity we do on a daily basis. The human mind is able to identify patterns easily and extract information from visual contents much faster than it does from raw data. For this reason, visualisation tools of any kind serve to facilitate understanding of otherwise complex information or situations. Visualisation serves as a very useful tool for planning routes and scheduling tasks. In this project, visualisation is employed to increase...

ABSTRACT Research shows that Africa’s growth in international Internet capacity outpaces all other regions of the world. Between 2014 and 2015, the internet bandwidth in Africa grew by 41% and by 51% when compounded annually over the past five (5) years ("Africa leads world in Internet growth | TechCentral", 2017). This has led to the proliferation of online applications and electronic commerce. This project seeks to develop an online auction application for the Ghanaian market in an effort...
Abstract Virtual Reality has been around since the 1960’s but it was a very expensive technology until Oculus and Google released the Oculus Rift and the Google Cardboard VR headset in 2015 respectively. These releases have made virtual reality more affordable and there has been an increase in apps and materials to develop content. The Virtual Chemistry Lab is a mobile application in VR that aims to allow to students simulate experiments in a virtual lab via the Google Cardboard. The focus ...

ABSTRACT As the world increasingly progresses towards a technology driven environment, the legal sector is not to be left behind. In the past years, clients got to know about lawyers through recommendation and at the same time lawyers had a challenge reaching out to their clients. Work was slow and tedious as research was conducted on dusty and old textbooks. The basis of this project is to bridge the technology gap between the lawyers and advocates in Africa. Firms that deal with legal servi...

Abstract This paper evaluates the performance of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) scheme, a genetic algorithm, as used in Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In doing so, the protocol is implemented and compared to round-robin, a contention-free protocol that makes sensor nodes take turns in sending their data packet to the sink, and a p-persistent CSMA protocol with a p-value of 0.01. The concept of p-persistence as used in the CSMA protocol is emp...
Abstract Medical diagnosis of diseases like Malaria and tuberculosis still use microscopy as a standard, but this procedure is usually very tiring for pathologists and health workers as it imposes much stress on their vision. Due to the fatigue that health workers get from this process, they might end up misdiagnosing a case. In most Rural areas of Cameroon and Ghana, there are no qualified personnel to do these diagnoses. Moreover, according to the World Bank, malaria still kills millions of...
