A knowledge-based system for automated discovery of ecological interactions in flower-visiting data.
(2017)Studies on the community ecology of flower-visiting insects, which can be inferred to pollinate flowers, are important in agriculture and nature conservation. Many scientific observations of flower-visiting insects are ... -
Leaf recognition for accurate plant classification.
(2017)Plants are the most important living organisms on our planet because they are sources of energy and protect our planet against global warming. Botanists were the first scientist to design techniques for plant species ... -
Model and solutions to campus parking space allocation problem.
(2013)Parking is considered a major land use challenge in campus planning. The problem can be in terms of scarcity (few available spaces compared to demand) or management (ineffi cient usage of available facilities). Many ... -
Modelling with mathematica.
(1994)In this thesis a number of mathematical models are investigated with the aid of the modelling package Mathematica. Some of the models are of a mechanical nature and some of the models are laboratories that have been ... -
Multi-level parallelization for accurate and fast medical image retrieval image retrieval.
(2016)Breast cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer diagnosed in women. Mammograms offer the best option in detecting the disease early, which allows early treatment and by implication, a favorable prognosis. Content-based ... -
Network intrusion detection using genetic programming.
(2018)Network intrusion detection is a real-world problem that involves detecting intrusions on a computer network. Detecting whether a network connection is intrusive or non-intrusive is essentially a binary classification ... -
Neural network assisted software engineered refractive fringe diagnostic of spherical shocks.
(1996)A shock is essentially a propagating variation in the pressure or density of a medium. If the medium is transparent, such as air, and the shock radially symmetric, the refractive fringe diagnostic can be used to examine ... -
On case representation and indexing in a case-based reasoning system for waste management.
(1997)Case-Based Reasoning is a fairly new Artificial Intelligence technique which makes use of past experience as the basis for solving new problems. Typically, a case-based reasoning system stores actual past problems and ... -
On common fixed points approximation of countable families of certain multi-valued maps in hilbert spaces.
(2017)Fixed point theory and its applications have been widely studied by many researchers. Di erent iterative algorithms have been used extensively to approximate solutions of xed point problems and other related problems ... -
On modeling and optimisation of air Traffic flow management problem with en-route capacities.
(2016)The air transportation industry in the past ten years witnessed an upsurge with the number of passengers swelling exponentially. This development has seen a high demand in airport and airspace usage, which consequently ... -
On the performance of metaheuristics for the blood platelet production and inventory problem.
(2016)Abstract available in PDF file. -
On the sample consensus robust estimation paradigm: comprehensive survey and novel algorithms with applications.
(2016)This study begins with a comprehensive survey of existing variants of the Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC) algorithm. Then, five new ones are contributed. RANSAC, arguably the most popular robust estimation algorithm in ... -
Ontology driven multi-agent systems : an architecture for sensor web applications.
(2009)Advances in sensor technology and space science have resulted in the availability of vast quantities of high quality earth observation data. This data can be used for monitoring the earth and to enhance our understanding ... -
An ontology-driven approach for structuring scientific knowledge for predicting treatment adherence behaviour: a case study of tuberculosis in Sub-Saharan African communities.
(2016)Poor adherence to prescribed treatment is a complex phenomenon and has been identified as a major contributor to patients developing drug resistance and failing treatment in sub-Saharan African countries. Treatment adherence ... -
The open health information mediator : an architecture for enabling interoperability in low to middle income countries.
(2015)Interoperability and system integration are central problems that limit the effective use of health information systems to improve efficiency and effectiveness of health service delivery. There is currently no proven ... -
Packing problems on a PC.
(1991)Bin packing is a problem with many applications in various industries. This thesis addresses a specific instance of the this problem, known as the Container Packing problem. Special attention is paid to the Pallet Loading ... -
Planarity testing and embedding algorithms.
(1990)This thesis deals with several aspects of planar graphs, and some of the problems associated with non-planar graphs. Chapter 1 is devoted to introducing some of the fundamental notation and tools used in the remainder of ... -
A practical investigation of meteor-burst communications.
(1991)This study considers the meteor-burst communication (MBC) environment at three levels. At the lowest level, the trails themselves are studied and analysed. Then individual links are studied in order to determine the data ...
