Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Robust Hybrid Approach to Enhance Speech in Mobile Communication SystemsManimegalai Govindan Sumithra, Keppana Gounder Thanuskodi, Bharathi DeepaProblem statement: The received voice signal in mobile communication is often disturbed by background noise and hence there is a need for good noise reduction methods for enhancing Speech. It is well known that denoising is a compromise between the removal of the largest possible amount of noise and the preservation of signal integrity. To address this issue, a new … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 7,299 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOccupational Stress and Family Difficulties of Working WomenMaryam Zarra-Nezhad, Ali Moazami-Goodarzi, Leila Hasannejad, Khadijeh RoushaniProblem statement: Work and family are the two most important aspects in women’s lives. Balancing work and family roles has become a key personal and family issue for many societies. There are many facets in working mother’s lives that subject to stresses. They deal with home and family issues as well as job stress on a daily basis. Imbalance between … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2010 · 16,107 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-Pulse Based Code Excited Linear Predictive Speech Coder with Fine Granularity Scalability for Tonal LanguageSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: The flexible bit-rate speech coder plays an important role in the modern speech communication. The MP-CELP speech coder which is a candidate of the MPEG4 natural speech coder supports a flexible and wide bit-rate range. However, a fine scalability had not been included. To support finer scalability of the coding rate, it had been studied in this study. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 24 Nov 2010 · 7,191 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of Multi-Pulse Based Code Excited Linear Predictive Speech Coder with Bitrate Scalable Tool over Additive White Gaussian Noise and Rayleigh Fading ChannelsSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In the modern speech communication technology, the speech coding with bitrate scalability was needed. However, various types of noises in the communication channels cause damages in the transmitted information especially speech data. Tonal-language speech was also affected by this situation. Approach: Based on the high pitch delay resolution technique, the MPCELP speech coding was proposed over the environment … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 6 Nov 2010 · 7,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmpirical Validation of Daylight Simulation Tool with Physical Model MeasurementYaik-Wah Lim, Mohd. Hamdan Ahmad, Dilshan Remaz OssenProblem statement: In recent years, daylighting simulation tools have been increasingly used by many architects, engineers and researchers to evaluate the day lighting performances of building design. Most of these tools employ CIE sky models for simulation. However, the accuracy and applicability of these tools for tropical sky are doubtable. The aim of this study was to validate the computer … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 8,899 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial-Functional Analysis of Kurdish Courtyard Houses in Erbil CityFaris Ali Mustafa, Ahmad Sanusi HassanProblem statement: This study was to analyze the concept of spatial-function in courtyard house layout and its influence to the cultural and social activities. Themes such as integration, segregation, accessibility and zoning of the building space layout are required to be deliberated, in order to achieve further understanding about the Kurdish social and cultural benchmarks (norms) that might have affected … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,836 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractV-Band Fade Dynamics Characteristics Analysis in Tropical RegionKhairayu Badron, Ahmad Fadzil Ismail, Jafri Din, Ahmad Tharek Abdul RahmanProblem statement: Satellite operations at V-band in tropical and equatorial regions are constrained as a result of attenuation from rain. Approach: Statistics for 20 consecutive months of V-band terrestrial link signal attenuation measurements in Malaysia were presented in this analysis. Such information was considered very pertinent for Earth-space communication link design and can be used for initial groundwork plan for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Alternative Scaling Factor In Broyden's Class Methods for Unconstrained OptimizationMuhammad Fauzi bin Embong, Mustafa bin Mamat, Mohd Rivaie, Ismail bin MohdProblem statement: In order to calculate step size, a suitable line search method can be employed. As the step size usually not exact, the error is unavoidable, thus radically affect quasi-Newton method by as little as 0.1 percent of the step size error. Approach: A suitable scaling factor has to be introduced to overcome this inferiority. Self-scaling Variable Metric algorithms … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 2 Jun 2010 · 7,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProsody Modification of Standard Arabic Speech Using Combining Synchronous Overlap and Add With Fixed-Synthesis Algorithm and Multi Level Discrete Wavelet TransformYkhlef Faycal, Bensebti Mesaoud, Bendaouia LotfiProblem statement: The objective of prosody modification is to change the amplitude, duration and pitch (F0) of speech segments without altering their spectral envelop. Applications are numerous, including, Text-To-Speech synthesis, transformation of voice characteristics and foreign language learning. Several approaches have been developed in the literature to achieve this goal. The main restrictions of these latter are in the modification … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 6,836 accessesView PDFCite
