Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of a Prototype Automated Sorting System for Plastic RecyclingD. A. Wahab, A. Hussain, E. Scavino et al.Automated sorting for plastic recyclables has been seen as the way forward in the plastic recycling industry. Automated sorting provides significant improvements in terms of efficiency and consistency in the sorting process. In the case of macro sorting, which is the most common type of automated sorting, efficiency is determined by the mechanical details of the material handling system as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2006 · 8,824 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordFlock Optimization Algorithm-Based Deep Learning Model for Diabetic Disease Detection ImprovementDivager Balasubramaniyan, Nor Azura Husin, Norwati Mustapha et al.Worldwide, 422 million people suffer from diabetic disease, and 1.5 million die yearly. Diabetes is a threat to people who still fail to cure or maintain it, so it is challenging to predict this disease accurately. The existing systems face data over-fitting issues, convergence problems, non-converging optimization complex predictions, and latent and predominant feature extraction. These issues affect the system's … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 8 Jan 2024 · 5,208 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordImprovement of Tone Intelligibility for Average-Voice-Based Thai Speech SynthesisSuphattharachai Chomphan, Chutarat ChompunthProblem statement: Tone intelligibility in speech synthesis is an important attribute that should be taken into account. The tone correctness of the synthetic speech is degraded considerably in the average-voice-based HMM-based Thai speech synthesis. The tying mechanism in the decision tree based context clustering without appropriate criterion causes unexpected tone neutralization. Incorporation of the phrase intonation to the context clustering … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 24 Jan 2012 · 6,969 accessesView PDFCite

It is possible to search for a known SNP position and analyze it using patterns of DNA bases, called masks. Nonetheless, this process becomes computationally expensive as the amount of available genomic data increases. Thus, in this study, we have … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 11 · 7 Nov 2018 · 7,734 accessesView PDFCite
