This thesis deals with the design of a simple time-sharing arbitrary-function generator to be used in a proposed real-time simulation computer. The generator automatically sums a predetermined difference table describing the function and thus generates the function at equal intervals of the independent variable. First, second and third differences are available for interpolation. The generator uses a decimal code which is further reduced to individual digits. Separate handling of the individual digits and a quantizing operation permit the function generator to be easily realized by simple circuitry. The quantized information appears as a pulse-duration - modulated wave which can be easily stored on a magnetic drum and can be readily transferred by digital circuitry. A single-digit addition-subtraction unit has been designed and built using a simple circuitry and readily available components and thus confirms the ease with which the complete generator may be built. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Electrical and Computer Engineering, Department of / Graduate

This paper deals with a graph-theoretic model for parallel computations as formulated by Karp and Miller. A necessary condition and a sufficient condition for self-termination of loops with unit loop gain are presented. For the special case that W=U the necessary and sufficient condition is derived. A direct procedure for testing termination properties of strongly connected graphs is presented. A method due to Reiter, for determining the maximum storage required for a computation graph, is extended to cover the general case. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Electrical and Computer Engineering, Department of / Graduate

Thesis (M Cur)--University of Limpopo, 2011. / An evaluation of the effective use of Computer-based Nursing Information System (CNIS) in patient care by Professional nurses at Dr George Mukhari Hospital. The aim of the study was to evaluate if the CNIS is being used effectively for patient care by professional nurses in different nursing units. The objectives of the study were to describe the perceptions of professional nurses regarding the role of CNIS, to determine the effective use of CNIS, and to identify barriers to the effective use of CNIS in patient care. Quantitative descriptive simple survey research design was used. The setting was at Dr George Mukhari Hospital. The population was all professional nurses who are working on day and night shifts in the wards that have computers installed for the purpose of patient care. Non probability, convenience sample of 120 professional nurses was used. Data was collected utilising a self report questionnaire with 41 closed ended and one open ended questions. Raw data was fed into a SPSS with the assistance of a statistician. Data analysis was conducted through the use of descriptive statistics. The findings are that professional nurses are not using CNIS effectively in patient care. In a unit with a bed occupancy rate of 30-40 patients, and where 30-40 patients are attended to on a daily basis, only 0-2 Nursing Care Plans (NCP) or entries are performed by professional nurses. The majority of professional nurses (56%) never updated NCPs or made an entry before. This is despite the fact that they have indicated positive perceptions with regard to the role of CNIS in patient care. Increased workload, inadequate number of computers, and lack of continuous in-service training were cited by the majority as barriers to the effective use of CNIS in patient care. A problem of increased workload will remain a challenge for as long as available technology is not used appropriately. Hence, hand held devices such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and bedside terminals, are highly recommended. Key concepts: Computer, Nursing, Information, System, Evaluation, Effective, Professional Nurses, Patient care.
