Abstract Road accidents are estimated to be the ninth leading cause of death across all age groups globally. 1.25 million people die annually from road accidents and Africa has the highest rate of road fatalities (WHO, 2015). Self-driving technology has the potential of saving over a million lives lost to preventable road accidents world-wide. Africa accounts for the majority of road fatalities and as such would benefit immensely from this technology. However, financial constraints prevent vi...

Abstract The consequences of a patient’s health record not being available at the time of treatment can be very cataclysmic. Accidental human deaths have occurred by the interference of certain medications with some undisclosed health conditions of patients due to the absence of their medical history not being available at the time of treatment. The purpose of this capstone project is to build and test the effectiveness of web-based inter-operable software which enables the global transfer ...
Abstract Producing software compels programmers to have in-depth knowledge of several programming languages, tools and frameworks. This time-consuming process demands dedication and mastery which are typically the foremost reasons most novice programmers give up a little into the software development process. This project seeks to eliminate learning programming languages and tools to create Android applications and reduce the time used in creating Android applications. This paper presents a c...

Abstract The ability to hear is an integral part of being a human being. It plays a vital role in various facets of the human experience, communication, listening to music and even being aware of one’s environment.

The development of hearing aids was the attempt to bri...

ABSTRACT Classification is the process of finding a set of models that distinguish data classes to predict unknown class label in data mining. The class imbalance problem occurs when standard classifiers are majority-biased while the minority class is ignored. Existing classifiers tend to maximise overall prediction accuracy and minimise error at the expense of the minority class. However, research had shown that misclassification cost of the minority class is higher and should not be ignore...
