Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParsing Arabic Texts Using Rhetorical Structure TheoryH. I. Mathkour, A. A. Touir, W. A. Al-SaneaProblem Statement: Processing texts based on rhetorical structure theory has shown interesting results. Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) improves the ability of extracting the semantic behind the processed text. Different applications such as information retrieval, text summarization, and text generation have proved to give better result using RST. The applicability of RST to process and understand texts has been studied in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,393 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClassification by Discriminant Analysis of Energy in View of the Detection of Accented Syllables in Standard ArabicA. Chentir, M. Guerti, D. J. HirstProblem Statement: Current algorithms for the recognition and synthesis of Arabic prosody concentrate on identifying the primary stressed syllable of accented words on the basis of fundamental frequency. Generally, the three acoustic parameters used in prosody are: Fundamental frequency, duration and energy. Approach: In this study, we exploited the acoustic parameter of energy by means of a classification by a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,828 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation of Valve Lift Effect on Air Flow and Coefficient of Discharge of Four Stroke Engines Based on ExperimentAbdul Rahim Ismail, Rosli Abu Bakar, SeminThe coefficient of discharge (CD) is defined as the ratio of actual discharge to ideal discharge. In an engine environment, ideal discharge considers an ideal gas and the process to be free from friction, surface tension, etc. Coefficients of discharge are widely used to monitor the flow efficiency through various engine components and are quite useful in improving the performance … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,434 accessesView PDFCite
