Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordImprovement of the Runner Design of Francis Turbine using Computational Fluid DynamicsSuthep Kaewnai, Somchai WongwisesProblem statement: The objective of this study is to improve runner design of the Francis turbine and analyze its performance with the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique. Approach: A runner design process uses a direct method with the following design conditions: flow rate of 3.12m3/sec head of 46.4 m and speed of 750 rpm or dimensionless specific speed of 0.472. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 25 Jan 2012 · 8,920 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
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPerformance Improvement of SNP Search Using Multithread ProgrammingGeraldo Francisco Donegá Zafalon, Álvaro Magri Nogueira da Cruz, Anderson Rici Amorim et al.Pattern recognition is an important field in Bioinformatics and a well-known task is the search for Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP). 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
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Hybrid Feature Extraction Method for Accuracy Improvement in “Aksara Lontara” TranslationIntan Sari Areni, Asyraful Insan Asry, IndrabayuAn Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of “Aksara Lontara” has been constructed using a novel combination of feature extraction methods in this study. The ancient font of “Lontara” is then translated into Bahasa Indonesia to help non-native language to learn this language. Two powerful extraction feature methods, i.e., Modified Direction Feature (MDF) and Fourier Descriptor (FD) are stages combined to deal … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 9 · 27 Aug 2017 · 8,851 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIMPROVEMENT OF AUTOMATIC HEMORRHAGES DETECTION METHODS USING SHAPES RECOGNITIONNidhal Khdhair El Abbadi, Enas Hamood Al SaadiDiabetic Retinopathy is a medical condition where the retina is damaged because fluid leaks from blood vessels into the retina. The presence of hemorrhages in the retina is the earliest symptom of diabetic retinopathy. The number and shape of hemorrhages is used to indicate the severity of the disease. Early automated hemorrhage detection can help reduce the incidence of blindness. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 6 Aug 2013 · 6,486 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPerformance Improvement in Cloud Computing Using Resource ClusteringG. Malathy, Rm Somasundaram, K. DuraiswamyCloud computing is a computing paradigm in which the various tasks are assigned to a combination of connections, software and services that can be accessed over the network. The computing resources and services can be efficiently delivered and utilized, making the vision of computing utility realizable. In various applications, execution of services with more number of tasks has to perform … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 30 May 2013 · 6,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordResearch in the Improvement of Wettability of Micro-Structure in Patterned ElectrodepositionLi Guangyang, Wang Hong, Yuan Yang et al.Problem statement: The high aspect-ratio electrodeposition was widely used in the manufacture of non-silicon MEMS devices. The wetting of high aspect-ratio micro-structure in electrolyte was important to the uniformity of micro-structure. Approach: In this study, to enhance the wettability of micro-structures in electrolyte, the effect of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) and O2 plasma surface modification were discussed. Contact Angles (CA) … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 15 Jun 2011 · 7,275 accessesView PDFCite
