Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of Tree Structure in Context Clustering Process of Hidden Markov Model-Based Thai Speech SynthesisSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In HMM-based Thai speech synthesis, the tone degradation due to the imbalance of training data of all tones. Some distortion of syllable duration is obviously noticeable when the system is trained with a small amount of data. These problems cause the decrement in naturalness and intelligibility of the synthesized speech. Approach: This study proposes an approach to improve … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 14 Jan 2012 · 6,961 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Cultural Management and Inheritance by Community ParticipationPichayapol Nguanthaisong, Souneth Phothisane, Sastra LaoakkaProblem statement: Museums were places where all collections, which indicated values of arts and cultural heritages that were useful for learning, were kept. Establishment of museums was successful by having development, systematic management, cultural inheritance, knowledge transferring, participation and support. Approach: This study aimed to study backgrounds of museum development in temples in the area of the lower northeastern, to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 8 Feb 2011 · 8,004 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMemory TracingEva Cogan, Chaya GurwitzProblem statement: Students completing introductory computing courses did not know how to program at the expected level. Seeking the underlying problem, we came to believe that students were focusing only on results and not connecting with the inner workings of their code. This left them poorly prepared to master increasingly complex problems. Approach: We hoped that by promoting memory tracing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,163 accessesView PDFCite

HusainProblem statement: Handwriting number recognition is a challenging problem researchers had been research into this area for so long especially in the recent years. In our study there are many fields concern with numbers, for example, checks in banks or recognizing numbers in car plates, the subject of digit recognition appears. A system for recognizing isolated digits may be as … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,665 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Integration of Network-Based Models for Spill Response and Homeland SecurityDavid E. Amstutz, Rakesh Bahadur, Jonathan M. Pickus et al.The integration of three hydraulic GIS (Geographic Information System) applications is presented which represent the water infrastructures of cities and urban areas and US streams and rivers. The water infrastructures include drinking water distribution systems, wastewater collection systems and source water. The National Research Council[1] states that problems dealing with the collective behavior of networks such as river systems, water … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,733 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Analysis of Structures Using Neural NetworksN. Ahmadi, R. Kamyab Moghadas, A. LavaeiIn the recent years, neural networks are considered as the best candidate for fast approximation with arbitrary accuracy in the time consuming problems. Dynamic analysis of structures against earthquake has the time consuming process. We employed two kinds of neural networks: Generalized Regression neural network (GR) and Back-Propagation Wavenet neural network (BPW), for approximating of dynamic time history response of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,156 accessesView PDFCite

The article presents results of econometric analysis of employees’ confidence levels in finding comparable new jobs in case of termination of current employment as well as of probability to be temporarily laid off without pay, projected onto employees’ participation in professional education … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 15 Mar 2014 · 6,651 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordFirst Token Algorithm for Searching Compound Terms Using Thesaurus DatabaseYousef Abuzir, Thabit SabbahProblem statement: Searching text materials is the one of the most important operations that carried out by search engines either on web or desktop applications, searching algorithms are required sometimes to find a specific word into a text, others to find a multi word term (pattern matching) into a text. Searching for term into a thesaurus database can be carried … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 28 Oct 2011 · 7,950 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAdaptive Channel Equalization Using Multiplicative Neural Network for Rayleigh Faded ChannelP. Sivakumar, N. Chithra, S. N. Sivanandam, M. RajaramProblem statement: Digital transmission over band-limited communication channel largely suffers from ISIS and various noise sources. The presence of ISI and noise causes bit errors in the received signal. Equalization is necessary at the receiver to overcome these channel impairment to recover the original transmitted sequence. Traditionally equalization is considered as equivalent to inverse filtering and implemented using linear-perform under … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 18 Aug 2011 · 6,938 accessesView PDFCite
