Abstract:

>Magister Scientiae - MSc<br>Many South African Deaf people use their mobile phones for communication with SMSs yet they would prefer to converse in South African Sign Language. Deaf people with a capital `D' are different from deaf or hard of hearing as they primarily use sign language to communicate. This study explores how to design and evaluate a prototype that will allow a Deaf person using SASL to tell a hearing doctor how s/he is feeling and provide a way for the doctor to respond. A computer{based prototype was designed and evaluated with the Deaf people in a previous study. Results fr

Abstract:

Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is one of the most severe digestive tract emergencies in neonates, involving bowel edema, hemorrhage, and necrosis, and can lead to serious complications including death. Since it is difficult to diagnose early, the morbidity and mortality rates are high due to severe complications in later stages of NEC and thus early detection is key to the treatment of NEC. In this thesis, a novel automatic image acquisition and analysis system combining a color and depth (RGB-D) sensor with an infrared (IR) camera is proposed for NEC diagnosis. A design for sensors

The excellent soft tissue contrast of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) makes it an invaluable tool for guiding and monitoring interventional procedures. This has encouraged the development of MR compatible manipulators capable of combining the high precision and repeatability of robotic systems with the image capabilities of MRI. A system capable of performing transrectal prostate biopsy inside a high field 1.5T MRI scanner was developed to improve the pathological diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Using the practical approaches developed for the research project, Imagining Autism, the PhD investigates whether engagement in a play-based drama environment can help aid the diagnostic process and understanding of autism. The research has used drama workshops to see if these can enhance the profile of strengths, difficulties and differences obtained in a more traditional clinical diagnostic assessment. The exploratory study also seeks to see whether the ADOS (the clinical assessment tool) can be completed in a different environment and if there is agreement between the two settings on these

Abstract:

Epithelial Misplacement (EM) is a benign phenomenon that occurs within polyps most commonly associated with the sigmoid colon. It is brought about because of the colons convulsive nature and this forces a polyps surface epithelium into its submucosa and also causes bleeding. This is problematic as the Bowel Cancer Screening Programme (BCSP) uses positive Faecal Occult Blood (FOB) test results to identify patients that require pathological review. As EM polyps bleed, they get selected for assessment and this results in them being sectioned and stained. In these cross sections, submucosal glandu

A novel approach to the collection of fault related data associated with induction motor drives is presented. The stator to rotor magnetic flux of an induction motor is monitored by a number of strategically positioned search coils, each wound around a single stator pole. The data collected is in the form of time records of the induced voltage in the coils and is subsequently used to form the data base for a fault detection and diagnosis strategy. Voltage waveforms obtained from a single coil and from two coils connected in series are obtained whilst the system is subjected to a range of appli

Abstract:

Eating disorders are prevalent among female athletes, particularly those involved in lean sports, which put greater emphasis on a slim physique. Because of the negative --- physical and emotional consequences associated with disordered eating, it is essential that such behavior be detected and treated early. However, it may be difficult to identify symptoms of disordered eating among female athletes, perhaps due to perfectionism. Individuals scoring high in perfectionism may be more self-critical of mistakes and thus more likely to conceal such behavior. The present study combined the Frost Mu

The use of knowledge-based systems to aid in the diagnosis of faults in physical devices has grown considerably since their introduction during the 1970s. The majority of the early knowledge-based systems incorporated shallow knowledge, which sought to define simple cause and effect relationships between a symptom and a fault, that could be encoded as a set of rules. Though such systems enjoyed much success, it was recognised that they suffered from a number of inherent limitations such as inflexibility, inadequate explanation, and difficulties of knowledge elicitation.

Abstract:

The use of plasma proteins for the diagnosis and management of various diseases in humans has been known since the days of Hippocrates. Recently, a new protein, Urine protein 1 (UP1), has been isolated by Dakopatts Immunoglobulin, Copenhagen, from patients with renal tubular dysfunction. This study reports an investigation into the clinical significance of the protein. The purification, antibody production and semi-characterisation of the protein has also been undertaken. A sensitive, reproducible enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay has been set up and validated for the estimation of UP1. UP1 ha

Abstract:

The use of a cystine binding protein assay to establish the diagnosis of cystinosis was investigated. The assay has a lower limit of detection of 0.03μmol/l, is linear to a concentration of 1.5μmol/l and has a coefficient of variation of 1.7 and 15.0% between 0.05 and 0.6μmol/l. In 32 patients the mean ± SD pre-treatment leucocyte cystine concentration was 5.78 ± 2.49 nmol 1/2 cystine per mg protein (controls 0.10 ± 0.05). The median polymorphonuclear leucocyte cystine concentration in a group of 24 obligate heterozygotes was 0.55 (range 0.23 - 1.79) nmol 1/2 cystine per mg protein (controls 0
