Modern Molecular Dynamics force fields, such as the CHARMM36 and GLYCAM06carbohydrate force fields, are parametrised to reproduce behaviours for specific molecules under specific conditions in order to be able to predict ...

While there has been an increase in the design and development of Personal Health Record (PHR) systems in the developed world, little has been done to explore the utility of these systems in the developing world. Despite ...

Clouds are an important feature of any real or simulated environment in which the sky is visible. Their amorphous, ever-changing and illuminated features make the sky vivid and beautiful. However, these features increase ...

Data matching, also referred to as data linkage or field matching, is a technique used to combine multiple data sources into one data set. Data matching is used for data integration in a number of sectors and industries; ...

It is well discussed and understood that there is still a need for suitable security for the Internet of Things. It is however still not clear how existing or emerging security paradigms can be effectively applied to a ...

The South African government is unable to provide efficient Information Technology (IT) services to the citizens because of the fragmented approach in government where each department procures their own IT services and ...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are networks of small, typically low-cost hardware devices which are able to sense various physical phenomenon in their surrounding environments. These simple nodes are also able to perform ...

The rise in global connectivity driven by user-demand is bringing about a wave of end-user interconnectivity applications. This, coupled with the improvements in software security that have forced a shift from syntactic ...

This dissertation seeks to develop image based animation methods using the technique of optic flow analysis developed for a moving planar object. Image based rendering is presented as a class of algorithm using two dimensional ...

The thesis describes the design and implementation of a simulation model. The model is patterned after the EXEC-8 multiprogramming time sharing operating system on the UNIVAC 1106 computer at the computer centre of the ...

3G is the wireless network technology expected to allow wireless applications to perform on par with wired applications. However 3G has factors which limit its performance. These factors include both device factors such ...

The use of computer technology and magnetic storage media for production typing led to a new term "word processing". In this research word processing is considered to be part only of a more comprehensive concept - electronic ...

The major part of this thesis focuses on investigating dynamic hydration behaviour of a series of hexacycylic molecules in water, by using computational techniques validated through ultrasound interferometry experiments. ...

The current medley of interoperability protocols is potentially problematic. Each protocol is designed by a different group, each provides a single service, and has its own syntax and vocabulary. Popular protocols such as ...

Cloud Computing is a relatively new and appealing concept; however, users may not fully trust Cloud Providers with their data and can be reluctant to store their files on Cloud Storage Services. The problem is that Cloud ...

In our search towards an interactive mobile fixed rate calculator, in this dissertation, we are interested in the human-centred design and in particularly exploring the mobile user interface design and the user experience ...

HIV Disease Management Programs (DMP's) are comprehensive programs that are designed to manage the HIV infected patient's treatment in an integrated manner.

This dissertation describes the design of two mobile authentication techniques: combinational graphical passwords and gesture passwords. These systems were implemented as prototypes. The prototypes along with a PIN ...

Lack of adaptive-predictor models in software development renders the decision-making process complex, principally when evaluating investment options. Prior work has presented various approaches which are still non-integrated, ...

An application on a social network may provide a means to avoid the cost, decrease time and increase scale of operation of heritage preservation by motivating users to supply and process the data. This project uses a ...
