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 ...
Web-based management of time-series raster data
(2010)
Data discovery and data handling often presents serious challenges to organizations that manage huge archives of raster datasets such as those generated by satellite remote sensing. Satellite remote sensing produces a ...
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. ...
Modelling and Implementation of QoS in Wireless Sensor Networks: A Multiconstrained Traffic Engineering Model
(Springer, 2010)
This paper revisits the problem of Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning to assess the relevance of using multipath routing to improve the reliability and packet delivery in wireless sensor networks while maintaining lower ...
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 ...
Large image support in digital repositories
(2010)
Many universities, libraries, government organisations and companies are implementing digital repositories to collect, preserve, administer and distribute their collections via the World Wide Web. In the process of building ...
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. ...
