Simplified models for multi-criteria decision analysis under uncertainty
(2010)
When facilitating decisions in which some performance evaluations are uncertain, a decision must be taken about how this uncertainty is to be modelled. This involves, in part, choosing an uncertainty format {a way of ...
Active shape model segmentation of Brain structures in MR images of subjects with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder
(2010)
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is the most common form of preventable mental retardation worldwide. This condition affects children whose mothers excessively consume alcohol whilst pregnant. FASD can be identified ...
Assessing the suitability of user centric design methods when applied in a developing world context
(2010)
The application of information and communication technologies to development (ICT4Dev) is widely believed to have the potential to improve livelihoods in developing regions. Within the field of HCI, it is recognised that ...
The effects of network factors on the performance of 3G UMTS applications
(2010)
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 ...
Resolving the hydration of hexacyclic systems using ultrasonic interferometry and computer simulations
(2010)
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. ...
Adapting a novel public display system for an educational context
(2010)
Universities in developing nations are viewed as gateways to global knowledge and as the source of human capital for their countries' economies (Juma, 2008). However, these universities face challenges in accessing educational ...
DAS Writeback: A collaborative annotation system for proteins
(2010)
We designed and developed a Collaborative Annotation System for Proteins called DAS Writeback, which extends the Distributed Annotation System (DAS) to provide the functionalities of adding, editing and deleting annotations. ...
Gesture based interface for asynchronous video communication for deaf people in South Africa
(2010)
The preferred method of communication amongst Deaf people is that of sign language. There are problems with the video quality when using the real-time video communication available on mobile phones. The alternative is to ...
Cross-layer RaCM design for vertically integrated wireless networks
(2010)
Wireless local and metropolitan area network (WLAN/WMAN) technologies, more specifically IEEE 802.11 (or wireless fidelity, WiFi) and IEEE 802.16 (or wireless interoperability for microwave access, WiMAX), are well-suited ...
VRBridge: A constructivist approach to supporting interaction design and end-user authoring in virtual reality
(2010)
For any technology to become widely-used and accepted, it must support end-user authoring and customisation. This means making the technology accessible by enabling understanding of its design issues and reducing its ...
