Designing digital storytelling for rural African communities
(2011)
This thesis situates digital storytelling in rural African communities to enable rural people to record and share their stories and to express their imaginations digitally. We explore the role of design and the methods and ...
An efficient management system for large digital object collections
(2011)
Cultures evolve continuously, and it is therefore vital to track and record these changes, and most importantly of all, manage the resulting huge mass of data such as images, video clips, audio recordings and documents. ...
Graphics processing unit accelerated coarse-grained protein-protein docking
(2011)
In this work, we describe a Graphics processing unit (GPU) implementation of the Kim-Hummer coarse-grained model for protein docking simulations, using a Replica Exchange Monte-Carlo (REMC) method. Our highly parallel ...
Evaluation of the usability and usefulness of automatic speech recognition among users in South Africa [electronic resource]
(2011)
An automatic speech recognition (ASR) system is a software application which recognizes human speech, processes it as input, and displays a text version of the speech as output or uses the input as commands for another ...
An agent based layered framework to facilitate intelligent Wireless Sensor Networks
(2011)
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 ...
Extensibility in end-user network applications : a feature or a flaw?
(2011)
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 ...
DAS Writeback: A Collaborative Annotation System
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2011)
BACKGROUND: Centralised resources such as GenBank and UniProt are perfect examples of the major international efforts that have been made to integrate and share biological information. However, additional data that adds ...
Distributed texture-based terrain synthesis
(2011)
Terrain synthesis is an important field of Computer Graphics that deals with the generation of 3D landscape models for use in virtual environments. The field has evolved to a stage where large and even infinite landscapes ...
Tissue segmentation of the cerebellum from MR images
(2011)
The cerebellum is known to be very susceptible to prenatal exposure to alcohol and people affected by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) show a decrease in cerebellar volume. Unfortunately, there seems to be little ...
