Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Comparison of Sub Phonetic Model with Input Signal ProcessingDr E. Ramaraj, E. ChandraThe quest to arrive at a better model for signal transformation for speech has resulted in striving to develop better signal representations and algorithm. The article explores the word model which is a concatenation of state dependent senones as an alternate for phoneme. The Research Work has an objective of involving the senone with the Input signal processing an algorithm … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2006 · 6,291 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTaxonomically Clustering Organisms Based on the Profiles of Gene Sequences Using PCAE. Ramaraj, M. PunithavalliThe biological implications of bioinformatics can already be seen in various implementations. Biological taxonomy may seem like a simple science in which the biologists merely observe similarities among organisms and construct classifications according to those similarities[1], but it is not so simple. By applying data mining techniques on gene sequence database we can cluster the data to find interesting similarities … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,746 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Real-time Image Processing with a Compact FPGA-based ArchitectureRidha Djemal, Didier Demigny, Rached TourkiThis study have presented a filed programmable gate array implementation of a real time video smoothing algorithm. In comparison with smoothing video techniques like deblocking filters in H.264 or smoothing in JPEG2000, the proposed method is implemented in hardware and its computational cost and complexity are reduced where all pixel processing related to uncompressed video is done on the fly. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,001 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCurrency Substitution in TurkeyIsmail H. Genc, Hasan Sahin, Turan ErolWe investigated whether the recent depreciations in the Turkish currency (Lira) resulted in the currency substitution away from Lira by using quarterly data over the period from 1987:1 to 2000: 2 with M1 and M2 monetary aggregates and income, interest rate and exchange rate. Other than the variety of monetary aggregates, we tried different ways of including the interest rate … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 6,968 accessesView PDFCite
