Title A name given to the resource EcD-Net: Encoder-Corollary Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling-decoder network for automated pancreas segmentation of 2D CT images Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Baffour Senkyire, Kashala Kabe Gedeon, Emmanuel Freeman, Benjamin Ghansah, Zhe Liu Description An account of the resource Automatic pancreas segmentation of CT scans enables physicians to identify and monitor the abnormalities in the pancreas. This facilitates intraoperative assistance, surgical planning, prognosis, and diagnosis. Nonetheless, the size and location of the pancreas in the CT image input data present a significant challenge for automatic segmentation, and the intricacy of the background region confounds deep segmentation networks. To solve this difficulty, we propose the Encoder-Corollary Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling-Decoder Network (EcD-Net) for locating and segmenting the pancreas. This two-tiered method begins with a coarse segmentation stage for locating the pancreas within the overall CT image. Using the detected image from the first tier, a fine segmentation network based on U-Net is applied to segment the target organ (pancreas).

Title A name given to the resource Renewable energy (electricity) development in Ghana: Observations, concerns, substitution possibilities, and implications for the economy. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Boqiang Lin, Isaac Ankrah Description An account of the resource Can Ghana build its economy on renewable energy? Is it possible to substitute nonrenewable for renewable energy? What is the impact of renewable energy on the economy of Ghana? These questions are relevant and worth considering as far as the renewable energy development agenda in Ghana is concern. Using the translog production function approach, this study primarily investigates whether Ghana can move away from nonrenewable electricity generation to renewable power generation. In particular, we provide estimates for the relationship between the two energy types and output. The estimates are then used to calculate the output and substitution elasticities between renewable and nonrenewable energy. Our findings show that while the impact of nonrenewable energy on Ghana's economy is negative, that of renewable energy is insignificant, with output elasticities for both energy types averaging −0 … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Elsevier Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2019 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=qSyX_i8AAAAJ&citation_for_view=qSyX_i8AAAAJ:u-x6o8ySG0sC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/d26c9ea5c778c53475ae185238dde8b8.pdf f1acadcbef04171c1272556d4cead304 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource K-Means Based Bee Colony Optimization for Clustering in Heterogeneous Sensor Network Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Prince Modey, Gaddafi Abdul-Salaam, Emmanuel Freeman, Patrick Acheampong, William Leslie Brown-Acquaye, Israel Edem Agbehadji, Richard C Millham Description An account of the resource In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), an efficient clustering technique is critical in optimizing the energy level of networked sensors and prolonging the network lifetime. While the traditional bee colony optimization technique has been widely used as a clustering technique in WSN, it mostly suffers from energy efficiency and network performance. This study proposes a Bee Colony Optimization that synergistically combines K-mean algorithms (referred to as K-BCO) for efficient clustering in heterogeneous sensor networks. This is to develop a robust and efficient clustering algorithm that addresses the challenges of energy consumption and network performance in WSNs. The K-BCO algorithm outperformed comparative clustering algorithms such as H-LEACH, DBCP, and ABC-ACO in average error rate (AER), average data delivery rate (ADDR), and average energy consumption (AEC) for transmitting data packets from sensors to cluster heads. The K-BCO outperformed other algorithms in terms of ADDR at 95.00% against H-LEACH (75.86%), DBCP (72.07%) and ABC-ACO (90.08%). The findings indicate that the K-BCO not only optimizes energy consumption but also guarantees more stable and robust solutions, thereby extending the network lifetime of WSNs. Thus, K-BCO is recommended to practitioners in wireless sensor networks as it paves the way for more efficient and sustainable wireless communication.

Title A name given to the resource Fused Multi-Domains and Adaptive Variational Mode Decomposition ECG Feature Extraction for Lightweight Bio-Inspired Key Generation and Encryption Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Israel Edem Agbehadji, Richard C Millham, Emmanuel Freeman, Wanqing Wu, Xianbin Zhang Description An account of the resource Security is one of the increasingly significant issues given advancements in technology that harness data from multiple devices such as the internet of medical devices. While protecting data from unauthorized user access, several techniques are used including fingerprints, passwords, and others. One of the techniques that has attracted much attention is the use of human features, which has proven to be most effective because of the difficulties in impersonating human-related features. An example of a human-related attribute includes the electrical signal generated from the heart, mostly referred to as an Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. The methods to extract features from ECG signals are time domain-based; however, the challenge with relying only on the time-domain or frequency-domain method is the inability to capture the intra-leading relationship of Variational Mode Decomposition signals.

Title A name given to the resource Public Sector Marketing Communications: Insights from/for the Primus National Football League Rwanda Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource This chapter highlights the potential of an unexplored African Professional Football League to leverage its brand through effective marketing communications. The chapter is primarily documentary analysis-driven, drawing upon a mixture of official statistics, contingent literature and personal observation, especially the on-pitch performance of the Rwanda Professional League Football. Considering the sponsorship deals the government of Rwanda has with Arsenal Football Club in the English Premier League, and the VisitRwanda visibility, it is surprising that the domestic league is less globally visible. Interestingly, the league recently secured a sponsorship deal with the local brewer, Bralirwa, promoting a change of label Primus National League due to agreed naming rights with the domestic brewer. Arguably, football leagues are quasi-government entities and deserving of the label, public sector. Overall, the chapter advances a potential avenue for a perception change of global observers (including potential investors) of the football league in a country at the forefront of African development.

Title A name given to the resource Green Computing Model for Computer Users in Ghana: An Approach to Sustainable Energy Use Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource EMMANUEL FREEMAN, PATRICK BAA-ACQUAH Description An account of the resource This study intends to develop a sustainable green computing model for computer users in Ghana. What necessitated for this study includes issues of the human environment and conservations of energy in Ghana. To achieve this, both quantitative and qualitative methods are used to capture data for the findings and analysis. A sample size of 200 computer users for both primary users (domestic users) and secondary users (manufacturers and commercial users) in various organizations in Ghana is used. The research integrated the Rogers Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) Model and Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) Framework Model to develop a proposed model to capture all the dimensions and elements needed to adopt and practice Green Computing in Ghana. Analysis of the study has shed light on the levels of green computing knowledge and practice possessed by computer users. The scenario that emerged from the findings is less than desirable. Given the importance of green computing awareness, knowledge, practice and adoption. The general impression from the study is that, computer users in Ghana generally have either low levels of green computing habits and practices or none at all. This is especially true for the primary users than for the secondary users. The two differ significantly in their adherence to eco-friendly and energyefficient computing practices. To promote Green Computing adoption and practice in Ghana, a proposed model has been developed to guide the use of server virtualization, energy conservation, and proper way to dispose of e-waste. This model is intended to help improve the adoption and practice … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=rQvaaoMAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=rQvaaoMAAAAJ:u5HHmVD_uO8C Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/372eebbb9bbf6043562538ebcd556b21.pdf c836f82f9f23ee42ee7eac32d5a9159c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
