Synergistic use of promoter prediction algorithms: a choice of small training dataset?
(University of the Western Cape, 2000)
Promoter detection, especially in prokaryotes, has always been an uphill task and may remain so, because of the many varieties of sigma factors employed by various organisms in transcription. The situation is made more ...
Social and technical issues of IP-based multi-modal semi-synchronous communication: rural telehealth communication in South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
Most rural areas of developing countries are faced with problems like shortage of doctors in hospitals, illiteracy and poor power supply. Because of these issues, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is often ...
SIP-based content development for wireless mobile devices with delay constraints
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
SIP is receiving much attention these days and it seems to be the most promising candidate as a signaling protocol for the current and future IP telephony services. Realizing this, there is the obvious need to provide a ...
KernTune: self-tuning Linux kernel performance using support vector machines
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
Self-tuning has been an elusive goal for operating systems and is becoming a pressing issue for modern operating systems. Well-trained system administrators are able to tune an operating system to achieve better system ...
Synergistic use of promoter prediction algorithms: A choice for small training dataset?
(University of the Western Cape, 2000)
This chapter outlines basic gene structure and how gene structure is related to promoter structure in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes and their transcription machinery. An in-depth discussion is given on variations types ...
A Digital Identity Management System
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
The recent years have seen an increase in the number of users accessing online services using communication devices such as computers, mobile phones and cards based credentials such as credit cards. This has prompted most ...
Models and applications of wireless networks in rural environments
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
With the unprecedented growth of the communication industry that the world is experiencing, the demand from rural inhabitants for high quality communications at an economically affordable cost is growing. However, rural ...
Remote surveillance and face tracking with mobile phones (smart eyes)
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
This thesis addresses analysis, evaluation and simulation of low complexity face detection algorithms and tracking that could be used on mobile phones. Network access control using face recognition increases the user-friendliness ...
Guaranteed delivery of multimodal semi-synchronous IP-based communication.
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
A semi-synchronous environment consists of a combination of synchronous and asynchronous transport media used to transport messages from source to destination. This thesis explores an empirical solution for guaranteeing ...
SIP-based location service provision
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
Location-based service (LBS) is a geographical location-related service that provides highly personalized services for users. It is a platform for network operators to provide new and innovative ways of increasing profits ...
