Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesModeling and Forecasting of International Tourism Demand in ASEAN CountriesAsrin Karimi, Pouya Faroughi, Khalid Abdul RahimThis study attempts to find the best model to forecast international tourism demand using a series of key macroeconomic variables in ASEAN countries. Generally, we find that generalized Poisson regression model is the best one for estimating long-run international tourism demand. In addition, we find that inflation and real exchange rate have negative relationship with international tourism demand. On the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 7 · 8 Aug 2015 · 7,938 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesTHE EFFECT OF AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION SERVICE ON THE TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY OF TEFF (ERAGROSTISTEF) PRODUCERS IN ETHIOPIAAsres Elias, Makoto Nohmi, Kumi Yasunobu et al.Teff (Eragrostistef) is a major staple food crop in Ethiopia, but smallholder teff production is characterized by persistently low average yield. A major government effort aimed at raising the productivity and competitiveness of smallholder agriculture in Ethiopia involved reforming and implementing agricultural extension service known as Participatory Demonstration and Training Extension System (PADETES). Therefore, this study investigates the effect of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 21 Dec 2013 · 9,522 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesPERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF HUFFMAN AND LEMPEL-ZIV WELCH DATA COMPRESSION FOR WIRELESS SENSOR NODE APPLICATIONAsral Bahari Jambek, Nor Alina KhairiWireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are becoming important in today’s technology in helping monitoring our surrounding environment. However, wireless sensor nodes are powered by limited energy supply. To extend the lifetime of the device, energy consumption must be reduced. Data transmission is known to consume the largest amount of energy in a sensor node. Thus, one method to reduce the energy … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 10 Dec 2013 · 7,942 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing Indian Language Speech Recognition Systems with Language-Independent Phonetic Script: An Experimental ExplorationJose Stephan, Muthayyan Kamalam JayakumarIndia has a distinct linguistic profile that makes it extremely challenging to train Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems correctly because most Indian languages have limited training material and are generally low-resource in nature. However, due to their similarity in phonemes, these languages offer an opportunity to create a single speech recognition technology. This study proposes an optimized phonetic script which … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 5 · 9 May 2025 · 6,536 accessesView PDF Cite
