Waste management in Ghana has in recent times been a subject of discourse that pervades most of its industrial cities. The provision of waste bins at vantage points by waste management institutions is not enough to solve the problem of the current management system. In this paper, a proposed method that uses multiple solutions to address the issues of spillage and inefficient collection scheme is presented. The system provides a monitoring platform for the waste management institution to handle the alert records by creating orders for the garbage collectors/drivers which can be accessed via a mobile application system. The proposed system includes a smart waste bin which has a microcontroller-based system constructed and affixed to the top of the bins to detect bin level status and communicate to drivers and management office via SMS and application system. A work order is created once a utilizes is full which can be received by the drivers and routing system regarding the state of bins distributed within a specific geographic area that can be assessed on the drivers’ phone. The system implantation works successfully, making it possible to monitor waste bin status in real-time but occasionally had high latency which was primarily due to the use of GSM module for GSM/GPRS connectivity.

Future generation or smart grid (SG) will incorporate ICT technologies as well as innovative ideas for advanced integrated and automated power systems. The bidirectional information and energy flows within the envisaged advanced SG together with other aiding devices and objects, promote a new vision to energy supply and demand response. Meanwhile, the gradual shift to the next generation fully fledged SGs will be preceded by individual isolated microgrids voluntarily collaborating in the managing of all the available energy resources within their control to achieve optimality in both demand and distribution. In so doing, innovative applications will emerge that will bring numerous benefits as well as challenges in the SG. This paper introduces a power management approach that is geared towards optimizing power distribution, trading, as well as storage among cooperative microgrids (MGs). The initial task is to formulate the problem as a convex optimization problem and ultimately decompose it into a formulation that jointly considers user utility as well as factors such as MG load variance and associated transmission costs. It is deduced from obtained analytical results that the formulated generic optimization algorithm characterizing both overall demand and response by the cooperative microgrids assist greatly in determining the required resources hence leading to cost effectiveness of the entire system.

Segmentation of fundus retinal blood vessels is one of the most challenging tasks in computer vision because of the difficulty in precisely capturing every minute detail in the tiny vessels necessary for accurate and early diagnosis and prognosis. These problems are attributed to noise, artifacts, low contrast associated with medical images especially fundus retinal images as a result of uneven illumination and the approach used in acquiring them. Other difficulties are the interference and distinction of pathologies (background) from blood vessels (foreground) during segmentation. To address these problems, this paper proposes an Enhanced Deep Convolutional Networks for Segmentation of Retinal Blood Vessel to explore the availability of huge channels and usage of global location and context in the U-net model. Enhancement techniques are also applied to input images at data pre-processing stage to enhance brightness and visibility before passing them to CNN for segmentation. The combination of these two effective tools will boost the sensitivity accuracy since it is a key factor that echoes a truthful valuation of blood vessel pixels, which is the principal goal in vessel segmentation for fundus image analysis. Our proposed method is evaluated on the Digital Retinal Images for Vessel Extraction (DRIVE) dataset and the performance achieves the state-of-the-art for segmentation of retinal blood vessels. with accuracy of 94.47, sensitivity of 70.92, specificity of 98.20 and area under the ROC curve of 97.56.

The internet of things is predicted to be a complex communication infrastructure embedding millions of devices built around different technologies. It will be using different protocols and operating systems while providing services in different fields. The management of information diffusion in such a complex communication infrastructure is a challenging issue that needs to be addressed efficiently to avoid local disturbances evolve to a large scale disaster by spreading out to the whole infrastructure.This paper revisits the issue of wireless sensor network management to evaluate the performance of information diffusion on connected systems. We propose a novel wireless sensor network partition into sets called "diffusion sets", which depends not only to sensors affinity but also to the mechanisms of the dynamic interactions and the underlying persistent communication model. After proving the partition property, we present the diffusion set computation algorithm and show through experimental results how it can be used by a collection tree algorithm to support efficient network engineering and predictions. Results show that the number of diffusion sets of a network is less correlated with existing network metrics which mater.

Electricity has been an imminent issue in remote areas. A microgrid system is an essential part of renewable energy sources of which is an integrated solution to global energy insufficiency and attractively caught the attention of energy industry players. Microgrids have immersed increased energy penetration where they have a promising potential of islanding and igniting energy efficiency globally. The objective of this paper is to develop an in-situ conforming microgrid, to explore effect of certain problems (such as power price, grid failure frequency, and grid mean repair time) and its effect to cost (total operating cost, total capital cost, net present cost), electricity production, and unmet load. We used HOMER to develop an optimized PV/Grid/Battery configuration while considering load patterns, temperature, solar irradiance, and other costs. Our study also showed that the upsurge of grid failure frequency and it mean repair time can cause an increase in total operating cost, which also increases even with the increase in power price. Results showed that initial capital cost, operating cost, COE, NPC were considerably economical at R 5,720,272.00, R 588,303.89.00, R 1.48, and R 1,330,000.00 respectively.

User experience has become of high priority to retailers due to the proliferation of shopping channels driven by technological innovation that are being embraced by a new generation of millennial consumers. They exceed 25 percent of the world’s population and are the largest growing online consumers. Furthermore, millennials have embraced mobile and wireless technologies as their channel of preference. The objective of this study is to determine whether current user experience antecedents identified in existing literature are applicable to millennials through m-commerce in the fashion retail sector. Furthermore, this study aims at identifying which category of user experience antecedents (i.e. utilitarian or hedonic) is most influential in this context. Research findings suggest that antecedents identified are relevant to the context of this study and that utilitarian antecedents have a greater influence on user satisfaction. This paper will assist e-retailers in providing an optimal user experience for millennials through m-commerce thereby improving online user satisfaction which positively influences customer retention and loyalty.

Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) based image processing algorithms have been previously developed to take advantage of the highly parallel nature of GPUs. However, these algorithms still exhibit problems of high programming complexity, relatively low device utilisation and difficulty when integrating into larger systems. In this paper, a set of image processing modules have been developed to take advantage of the computational characteristics of a System on a Chip (SoC) that contains both a GPU and a Central Processing Unit with fine grained shared virtual memory capabilities. The usage of shared memory simplifies design and removes the latency and bandwidth constraints associated with discrete GPUs on the Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) bus. These modules feature a simple, composite design that improves upon previously developed algorithms by running discrete stages of the algorithms on the portions of the SoC that are best suited for them. This allows greater efficiency and lower code complexity than more expensive discrete-GPU-based alternatives.

Emerging internet of things applications are predicting deployment of sensor devices in thousands of computing elements into multi-technology and multi-protocol platforms. In this complex system, access to information will be available not only at any time and anywhere, but also using anything. The efficient management of such a complex system is still a subject of research. This paper revisits the "Least Interference Beaconing Algorithm" (LIBA) recently proposed for IoT settings and proposes preventive mechanisms to ensure efficient performance in terms of traffic engineering for emerging Internet of Things (IOT). It reveals the LIBA issues and address them by proposing a persistently correct routing algorithm. Using Z notation, the proposed algorithm referred to as PLIBA (Persistent Least Interference Routing Algorithm), is formalised and its properties leading to its correctness are formally stated and proven. Simulations show how step by step, the proposed algorithm corrects LIBA and how it improves the performance in terms of load balancing.
