constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Advancement of Science and Technology, ICAST 2019, which took place in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, in August 2019. The 76 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from more than 150 submissions. The papers present economic and technologic developments in modern societies in five tracks: agro-processing industries for sustainable development, water resources and environmental engineering, recent advances in electrical, electronics and computing technologies, product design, manufacturing and systems organization, and material science and engineering.Lecture Notes of the Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering,1867-822X ;308Database managementComputer networksImage processing—Digital techniquesComputer visionArtificial intelligenceDatabase Management SystemComputer Communication NetworksComputer Imaging, Vision, Pattern Recognition and GraphicsArtificial IntelligenceDatabase management.Computer networks.Image processing—Digital techniques.Computer vision.Artificial intelligence.Database Management System.Computer Communication Networks.Computer Imaging, Vision, Pattern Recognition and Graphics.Artificial Intelligence.810.9356Habtu Nigus Gabbiyeedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtAyele Delele Workuedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtFanta Solomon Worknehedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtAdmasu Bimrew Tamratedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBitew Mekuanint Agegnehuedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996465455103316Advances of Science and Technology2238294UNISA03717nam 2200637 450 991078495120332120231227062734.09789956579143(electronic book)9789956615056(electronic book)9789956558537(paperback)(CKB)2670000000029879(EBL)1134970(OCoLC)743202277(SSID)ssj0000432105(PQKBManifestationID)11267640(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000432105(PQKBWorkID)10477552(PQKB)10732515(OCoLC)646835796(MdBmJHUP)muse21939(Au-PeEL)EBL1134970(CaPaEBR)ebr10333783(CaONFJC)MIL300488(PPN)187340056(MiAaPQ)EBC1134970(EXLCZ)99267000000002987920091123d2009 uy 0engurcnu---unuuutxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMobile phones the new talking drums of everyday Africa /Mirjam de Bruijn, Francis Nyamnjoh and Inge Brinkman, editorsCameroon Langaa Research & Pub.

They have become part and parcel of the communication landscape in many urban and rural areas of Africa and the growth of mobile telephony is amazing: from 1 in 50 people being users in 2000 to 1 in 3 in 2008. Such growth is impressive but it does not even begin to tell us about the many ways in which mobile phones are being appropriated by Africans and how they are transforming or are being transformed by society in Africa. This volume ventures into such appropriation and mutuAfrican Studies Centre research series.Cell phonesAfricaTelecommunicationCell phonesTelecommunication.302.2096De Bruijn MirjamNyamnjoh FrancisBrinkman IngeMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784951203321Mobile phones3765184UNINA
