Abstract:
Auditors are encountering more and more computerized accounting applications as the pervasiveness of computing technology increases in business. Auditors, therefore, need to adapt their audit approaches in the face of the changes caused by the new technology. The AICPA has addressed the issue by requiring auditors to consider the nature of the data processing system ln their client environments when planning the audits. Specialists, if necessary, are recommended to be brought in as part of the audit team in audits involving computerized accounting applications. The implicit assumption behind

Abstract:
Until recently, deterministic methods have been used to estimate food risk. These methods give one risk estimate for the whole population, mostly ignore the variability in the consumption data and produce unrealistic results. Recently there has been an increase in the use of probabilistic models for food risk assessment. Some of these probabilistic models are purely based on empirical distributions and others on probability models in a frequentist or Bayesian framework. In this thesis we improve on existing Bayesian models for food consumption data collected on successive days, and propose pos

There is a need for models that produce results that are both timely and sufficiently accurate to be useful to policy makers. The minimum-data approach of Antle and Valdivia (2006) responds to this need by supplying a spatially explicit first order approximation that models ecosystem supply by producers. However, producers in developing nations often are observed to deviate from simple expected profit maximization. Risk is one possible explanation for this divergence.

Abstract:
<p>Over the past two decades of HIV research, effective vaccine candidates have been elusive. Traditionally viral research has been characterized by a gene -by-gene approach, but in the light of the availability of complete genome sequences and the tractable size of the HIV genome, a genomic approach may improve insight into the biology and epidemiology of this virus. A genomic approach to finding HIV vaccine candidates can be facilitated by the use of genome sequence visualization. Genome browsers have been used extensively by various groups to shed light on the biology and evolution of sever

Abstract:
Security in the healthcare sector has historically been insufficient, seeing several high-profile cyber-attacks crippling availability of equipment and vital services with demands of ransom sums, and intrusions collecting sensitive patient data en masse. For this reason, digital services intended for medical use need to be convincingly secure in order to be adopted. This report investigates how to implement sufficient information security for a system involving a digital pill organiser with mobile application connectivity intended for professional medical use. Each component of the currently-i
